Environics Usa Company Center

Environics makes gas & vapor detection products & turn-key CBRN detection networks for civilian & military defense. We primarily focus on portable & fixed Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) and Toxic Industrial Chemical (TIC) detection, but we can also provide decontamination solutions, vehicle protection, mobile CBRN labs, bomb and chemical-proof shelters. We protect individuals, buildings, metros, cities and nations from CBRN threats. Here is a brief introduction to some of our products:

Our ChemPro100 is a handheld Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) and Toxic Industrial Chemical (TIC) gas and vapor detector that provides:

• Industry leading CWA detection capabilities with an unrivaled list of TICs
• Small, non-threatening design, it doesn’t look like a weapon so it won’t scare civilians
• Up to 27 times less expensive to own and use compared to other CWA detectors
• Lowest logistical requirements of any CWA/TIC detector, it won’t run out of consumables when deployed
• The ChemPro100 stores well. It doesn’t require periodic “exercising” to work properly and it doesn’t go “bad” sitting on a shelf. If it worked when you stored it away it will work when you need it.
• User friendly, if you can use a cell phone you can use the ChemPro100.
• Our ChemPro100 CBRN kit provides complete protection from Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear threats in one easy to use and transport portable kit.

Our CBRN Event Module is an easy, fast and reliable way to guarantee the safety of an event, building or site without resorting to installing a permanent fixed CBRN protection system. The CBRN Event Module is ideal for use in high security meetings, political gatherings, high profile sporting events or any event that may require continuous protection from CBRN threats.

• A complete solution: the CBRN Event Module integrates chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear detection into one, compact, easy to transport and easy to use unit.
• Flexible power requirements: It operates like a fixed monitoring system without the installation. It can be powered for up to 12 hours on its internal batteries or it can be powered continuously using 110/220 VAC or 8-30VDC power.
• Easy to transport and it easily blends in: Packaged in a standard “PelicanTM” style case that easily blends into many environments or can be easily hidden, the CBRN Event Module can easily be moved from one location to another whenever CBRN detection is needed.
• Net friendly: CBRN Event Modules can be connected to control center(s) and networked via either hardwired or wireless communications connection.

Our ChemProFX is the fixed facility version of our ChemPro100 to provide 24x7 protection of fixed infrastructure from the threat of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) & selected Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs).

• Industry-leading sensitivity and false alarm rejection.
• Lowest Life-Cycle Costs and Logistics: The ChemProFX doesn’t have to purify or chemically modify the sample with sieves or dopants, unlike traditional closed-loop IMS. Because of this the ChemProFX has no expendables and is designed for low life cycle and operating costs.
• Predictable Maintenance: The ChemProFX indicates operating time remaining before maintenance, this self-diagnostic feature allows managers to schedule maintenance rather than just responding to failed CWA monitors. In the words of a customer “When I buy a ChemProFX I know that I won’t get calls about it failing.”
• Easily Mounted and Interfaced: The small size and innocuous housing of the ChemProFX allows for easy installation in structures, subways and even outdoors. The ChemProFX supports the RS485 bus. It also provides relay outputs for “Alarm” and for “Service/Maintenance/Fault” that can be used for triggering local or remote alarms.
• When the ChemProFX is coupled with our EnviScreen monitoring program, we can provide total CBRN (Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear) detection for buildings, subways, cities and even countries. Environics protects some of the highest profiles buildings in the world.

The ID100 is a man-portable instrument that provides simultaneous, real-time identification and quantification of complex gas & vapor mixtures down to 10 ppb. The ID100 is a development of laboratory based Fournier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) technology, while Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy (GC/MS) can provide similar detection and quantification, it doesn’t provide the following benefits of the ID100:

• Continuous monitoring with 30 second response time: you don’t have to wait 15-25 minutes for results
• No training necessary: turn it on and you are measuring in seconds. No sample prep training or spectroscopy training required.
• Low cost of ownership: Aside from cheap zero gas there are no expensive carrier gases and pump rebuilds
• Stores well: it doesn’t require constant or even periodic operation for it to function properly. If it worked when you stored it, it will work when you need it.
