Delivery of Mobile Laboratory 

​DES just successfully delivered a Mobile Emissions Laboratory for the Department of Energy (DOE) and National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Pittsburgh, PA.  The trailer will be able to operate as a fully functional mobile lab capable of traveling to United States-based pilot sites to monitor slip stream emissions.  DES outfitted the 20-foot enclosed trailer with industrial finishes including commercial vinyl flooring, industrial-grade wall and ceiling cladding, and additional structural reinforcement where required for explosion-proof fans and climate control.  Construction also required a separate gas cylinder storage room, equipment storage, work benches, and a comprehensive Air Quality system including a gas monitoring system, chemical hood, and exhaust fans.  DES also analyzed, selected, and installed plumbing and instrumentation for the three independent Ultra-high Purity (UHP) gas streams, including protocol stations, regulators, flow orifices, and pressure relief valves to supply the UHP gases while protecting sensitive equipment as well as the researchers themselves.
