Tank Level Monitoring for Commercial Above Ground Fuel, Underground Fuel, and Mobile Fuel Tanks
Whether you manage one tank or hundreds, wirelessly track Diesel tank levels for accurate fuel level and volume measurements. Infinity IoT allows you to determine current fuel volume and change in volume of fuel in the tank.

Diesel generator monitoring is a hardware and software solution for fuel monitoring, monitoring of diesel
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Carbon dioxide is naturally present, in very low concentrations, in the air we breathe and is not harmful at low levels. High concentrations, however, can cause headaches, dizziness, confusion and even loss of consciousness, which is why it is classed as a ‘substance hazardous to health’ under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH).
It is a colourless and odourless gas, when at room temperature, making it impossible to know whether concentrations are high without some kind of monitoring device. It is usually measured and reported in parts per million (PPM). Healthy, fresh air would typically show around 400PPM. Workplace exposure limits (WELs) are 5000ppm for 8 hours or more and 15000ppm for 15 minutes or more.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Volatile organic compounds are gases that are emitted into the air from products or processes and are most commonly found in things like paints, solvents, aerosols, disinfectants and adhesives. They are the chemicals responsible for the smell you may experience when you buy a new car or new furniture – although manufacturers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to reduce the usage of them.
Exposure can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea and coughing, and some longer-term cases of exposure can be linked to cancer. Sensors use a variety of measurements for VOCs. They may use an index measurement of between 1 and 500 to report VOCs in the air – the lower the value, the better, or they can report the levels in micrograms (one-millionth of a gram) per cubic meter of air or µg/m3 or parts per billion (PPB). Workplace exposure limits vary depending on the particular compound.

Particulate Matter (PM)
Particulate matter consists of microscopic particles that are so small they can be inhaled, potentially causing health problems – for example pollen, mould and metals, or dust from things like grain, asbestos, wood or flour. Particles come in varying sizes and are measured in micrometre units – 10, 4, 2.5 and 1. To put this into context, the average human hair is about 70 micrometres in diameter.
The tinier the particles, the more likely they are to cause damage as they can be more easily inhaled deep into the lungs or even end up in the bloodstream. The health effects of exposure to some PM – for example asbestos dust – can take many years to develop, but short-term effects, particularly from PM 2.5, can include bronchitis and asthma attacks. Those with pre-existing heart and lung conditions are particularly at risk.

Room conditions
As well as air quality, sensors can be used to measure a number of the other important factors which contribute to comfortable room conditions. As with the air quality parameters mentioned above, keeping a track of the following issues can help to ensure employers are providing comfortable, safe environments that people actually want to work in.
Light intensity
This is measured in LUX and tells you how bright an environment is. If lighting is too bright it can cause headaches and vision issues. If it is too dark it could cause safety concerns, but also headaches and eye strain if staff are struggling to see. The recommended LUX levels in an office environment are anywhere between 300-500 LUX, but this will change depending on the setting. Sensors can typically read up to 20,000 LUX.
Temperature & Humidity
As well as air quality, sensors can be used to measure a number of the other important factors which contribute to comfortable room conditions. As with the air quality parameters mentioned above, keeping a track of the following issues can help to ensure employers are providing comfortable, safe environments that people actually want to work in.
Humidity refers to the amount of water vapour or moisture in the air. It is usually measured as a percentage. High humidity levels can make it very uncomfortable for staff, leading to feelings of lethargy and low energy. They can also make it easier for bacteria to spread, particularly respiratory infection. Humidity can also be damaging to machinery and equipment, and cause mould to grow.
