Air Monitoring & Control

Spanning a wide array of categories from stack emission monitoring to greenhouse gas monitoring and reduction, this section provides a holistic overview of the latest advancements in air pollution control technologies and strategies. Learn about the latest Industrial emission control technologies and air pollution control equipment aimed at reducing environmental impact, tackling air pollution, and creating a sustainable, cleaner environment.

Emission Reduction Technologies

This section is at the forefront of environmental progress. From carbon capture and storage (CCS) to renewable energy solutions, it paves the way for a cleaner, greener future. Clean energy generation and sustainable manufacturing practices are key drivers in reducing emissions and minimising environmental impact. Low-emission transportation technologies and energy efficiency innovations contribute to more sustainable mobility and resource usage, while alternative fuel development and emission reduction strategies in agriculture further our commitment to sustainability.

Odour & Noise Prevention & Protection

By addressing odour and noise pollution challenges, this section contributes significantly to environmental well-being, both indoors and outdoors. With odour monitoring and measurement, odour treatment technologies, and odour control systems, it tackles issues at the source, ensuring cleaner air and reduced irritation. Odour abatement in wastewater and industrial processes and odour complaint management offer practical solutions for industries to minimise their environmental footprint. Noise monitoring and assessment, noise control solutions, and soundproofing and insulation technologies work to combat noise pollution, contributing to healthier, quieter, and more sustainable environments.

Dust Management

This section plays a significant role in reducing environmental impact and promoting cleaner air and enhancing safety in dust-prone environments. It allows industries to assess and control dust emissions, leading to improved air quality. Discover effective measures to minimise dust in various operations, from manufacturing to mining. Fosters sustainable practices even in volatile construction or demolition situations. Dust emission compliance ensures adherence to regulations, contributing to a greener, more sustainable world.

Emissions Reporting, Trading and Carbon Markets

Explore solutions for measuring and validating carbon footprint reductions, ensuring transparency and accuracy in emission data which reinforces a commitment to greenhouse gas reduction. Explore practical tools for managing emissions and offsetting their environmental impact, while fostering trust and cooperation with emission certifications. This section also focuses on market-based approaches, featuring companies that encourage organisations to reduce emissions through economic incentives or opportunities to engage in emission trading and align with global sustainability goals.

Health and Safety

This section of the Expo addresses the critical aspects of health and safety in emission-prone environments. Exhibitors will be purveyors of respiratory protection equipment and personal protective equipment that safeguard workers against air pollutants. Explore sustainable practices that protect employees from potential harm and solutions that provide real-time data to ensure safe working conditions. Understand comprehensive risk management initiatives and occupational health programs which enable companies to proactively support the health and well-being of their workforce.

Ambient & Indoor Air Quality

Addressing critical environmental and health concerns, this section of the Expo ensures that living and working spaces are conducive to well-being, contributing to energy efficiency while maintaining optimal indoor air quality, enabling your business to align with sustainability goals. Solutions include indoor air quality sensors that enable real-time monitoring, empowering individuals and organisations to make informed decisions that positively impact air quality. Discover solutions that safeguard infrastructure while preventing the release of harmful pollutants and foster a healthy and efficient workforce.
