Adressing PFAS Monitoring challenges with HydroTerra’s Rental Autosampler fleet.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a growing environmental concern due to their persistence and potential health risks. Monitoring these ‘forever chemicals’ presents unique challenges, particularly in ensuring accurate and representative sampling. HydroTerra is at the forefront of addressing these challenges with its rental fleet of autosamplers, designed specifically for demanding applications such as PFAS monitoring. 

Traditional manual sampling methods can be inconsistent and labor-intensive, often leading to variability in data quality. Autosamplers, on the other hand, offer a reliable solution by automating the sampling process, ensuring consistent collection of water samples at pre-determined intervals or in response to specific environmental triggers. This consistency is crucial for obtaining accurate data in PFAS monitoring, where even minor discrepancies can significantly impact results. 

HydroTerra’s autosamplers can be triggered by various environmental factors, such as flow monitoring, rain-gauges, water quality parameters, and water level changes. These triggers allow for the collection of samples during key events, such as stormwater runoff or changes in level, which are critical for PFAS detection and analysis. The flexibility in trigger configurations ensures that the autosamplers can be tailored to specific site conditions and monitoring needs. Moreover, HydroTerra’s autosampler fleet is equipped with robust telemetry systems. These systems record real-time data from connected instruments and enable customizable thresholds to trigger sampling automatically. Additionally, they provide automated sampling alarms, ensuring prompt event response and project oversight. This technology ensures that sampling is conducted with a high level of precision, even in remote or challenging environments. 

HydroTerra’s experienced team has successfully deployed these autosamplers across a variety of sectors nationally, including wastewater, mining, and contaminated land management —such as at airports, landfills and defence sites. With a proven track record in complex projects, HydroTerra is well-equipped to support your PFAS monitoring needs, providing both the technology and expertise necessary for successful outcomes.
