Argos Scientific Inc. was founded in 2006 and is a high-tech environmental services company that specialises in designing and installing innovative systems that measure pollution in ambient air. The company were the first monitoring company in South Africa to be awarded ISO 17025 accreditation for quality and competence in the operation of field air testing laboratories.
Through this partnership, South Coast Science Praxis units will become part of Argos Scientific’s offer to the South African market, and beyond. Argos is considered a key resource by regulatory agencies, industry, and community organisations in the growing field of air quality monitoring.
The introduction of the Praxis range of low-cost ambient monitors means that it is now possible to develop dense networks of air quality monitors that bridge the physical gap between reference systems.
Scientific and technical excellence is critical for Argos Scientific alongside excellent relationships with its customers, to provide services that meet real-world needs.
It has been instrumental in introducing cost effective, real-time, database-centric monitoring solutions for customers in South Africa. This allows clients to measure compliance with the National Environmental Management Air Quality Act and at the same time provides “real-time” access to data for operational and compliance purposes.
The company is an industry leader in the design of air monitoring systems that are used to measure air pollution at the fence-line of oil refineries, chemical plants and other pollution sources.
“We drive our customer relationships by innovating and investing in our customer needs. Our clients are saying that they are looking at innovative ways to measure air pollution at lower cost and lower energy footprint without compromising on data quality. The Praxis product line from South Coast Science allows us to offer precisely what they need.”
