AquisNet. Air Quality Measurement from KISTERS.

Guy Stewart Callendar. Longing for fresh air. Guy Stewart Callendar (1898-1964) was first to describe atmospheric warming as the result of anthropogenic action, i.e. the combustion of fossil fuel and the resulting increases in CO2 concentrations. In 1934, the author of the Callendar Steam Tables (still in use in steam engineering applications today) attended the Third International Steam Conference in New York. In a letter to his wife he notes “The air here is like thick warm soup, there is no movement, and it tastes & smells very second hand. I have a huge fan in my room, but the air in the streets (canyons) is awful. I long for the glorious fresh breezes of Worthing.” At KISTERS we share his longing for cleaner and fresher air and his scientific brilliance, therefore he is the symbol of the KISTERS Air resource management sector.

Wondering how to successfully run your air quality monitoring network? KISTERS’ AquisNet (Air Quality Information System and Network) software covers all tasks of the process chain from data acquisition to validation, mass storage, graphical and numerical analysis and reporting. AquisNet is used by both public authorities and private industrial companies. KISTERS’ AquisNet is available for both: the data centre and the monitoring station. The data centre software excels where air quality networks grow big in terms of both stations and needs in archiving of legacy data. As a true air quality monitoring software, AquisNet’ data-acquisition software performs all functional tests, controls the calibration cycles of intelligent analysers and provides full logs and data flagging. Localization and tailoring to user needs are no problem with AquisNet’s innovative modular and multi-tier client-server technology. Its modular structure allows AquisNet to be adapted to suit your individual needs. Our employees are experts from the air quality measurement and IT fields, and would be pleased to help you choose the optimal software solution for your requirements. On request, we can provide AquisNet as a complete package for measuring network control centres and the individual stations (if necessary also with suitable IT hardware), or as a reduced software solution for specifically requested functionality, such as only for evaluation, station control or control centre management. The KISTERS portfolio ranges from consultation and planning, to full operation and maintenance of a measuring network for air quality monitoring, right through to user orientation and training.

Technologically, AquisNet is based on time series management, which has already proven itself in other KISTERS software solutions for a total of around 500 customers. Despite the large measurement datasets and complex evaluations and calculations, AquisNet remains easy to use and can present data in a clear and readable fashion. Long-term AquisNet customers include the Department of Environment and Climate Change in Sydney (Australia), the Umweltbundesamt Dessau (Dessau Federal Environment Agency, Germany), the Landesamt für Natur, Umwelt und Verbraucherschutz NRW (Environment, Nature and Consumer Protection Office of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) and the Staatliche Umweltamt Itzehoe (State Environmental Agency Itzehoe of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany).
