Construction and demolition activities can lead to trade effluent and wastewater discharges that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Where regulatory monitoring is required, a reliable VOC Analyser combined with an Autosampler enables continuous or composite sampling and ensures representative lab testing. PUB’s updated monitoring guidance (including requirements for sampling, autosampler maintenance and approved monitoring points) makes correct equipment selection and maintenance critical to compliance.
Practical considerations for construction-site VOC monitoring:
- locate the autosampler at the designated last inspection chamber per PUB guidance; protect the sampling lines with heavy-duty conduit and corrosion-resistant fittings;
- ensure autosampler maintenance records and calibration certificates are available — PUB guidance requires maintenance and approved formats for reporting;
- choose the right analyser technology (GC-MS, FID, FTIR or selective VOC analysers) depending on target compounds and detection limits.
Shunamite manufactures and supplies VOC Analysers and Autosampler solutions in Singapore and provides installation, calibration and maintenance services to support environmental reporting and trade-effluent compliance. If you require VOC monitoring, autosampler rental, or a PUB-aligned monitoring plan for your project, Shunamite can advise and deploy site-ready systems.
