As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing climate change and environmental pollution concerns, both private and public sectors globally are playing a proactive role in helping the planet overcome this crisis. While the private sector companies now view sustainability as a core aspect of their business rather than a mere support function, every government across the world are now rolling-out stringent regulations that every organization operating within their purview are to adhere to.
As a result, the demand for efficient emission monitoring solutions has been at an all-time high lately. As per IMARC Group’s latest report, the global environment monitoring market which stood at $23.28 billion in 2024 is expected to amount to $40.6 billion by 2033, exhibiting a 6.05 percent CAGR during the forecast period.
Amidst such encouraging market conditions, one company that has created a niche for itself in the industry through its suite of quality and reliable environment monitoring solutions is Sun Teknolozy. Based in Chennai, Sun Teknolozy is the brainchild of V.D. Gurunath (Founder & Managing Director) who incepted the company in 1997 as a distributor of environment monitoring systems for a few global brands in Tamil Nadu and gradually expanded its operations across South India.
Later on, it also got into manufacturing numerous emission monitoring systems such as LDM, CEMS, VOC Detectors, IoT Systems, Data loggers, Data Analytics Software and many others, with the primary focus on addressing the Indian market. Today, having catered to over 2,000 clients from diverse industries across the world, the firm has strongly cemented its position as one of the most reliable and sought-after partner for every environment monitoring requirement.
Sharing his thoughts on the industry scenario and the key factors driving the market growth, V. D. Gurunath elucidates, “With most developing countries enforcing austere guidelines to closely monitor the pollution sources, especially from industries to meet global pollution control goals, regulations such as NCAP, NAMP and updated standards for particulate matter have set strict benchmarks around air quality.
This has not only increased the emphasis on real-time monitoring instead of periodic sampling, but the regulatory bodies too are mandating industries to install and provide data from Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS), Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Systems (CAAQMS), Online Continuous Effluent Water Quality Monitoring Systems (OCEMS)”.
Environment Monitoring Expert
Under the aegis of Gurunath, Sun Teknolozy has evolved into a full-scale environment monitoring solutions manufacturer and service provider. With a vast product catalogue comprising over 200 products, its offerings span across four major verticals – Air Quality (CAAQMS and EHS), Water Quality (coastal & marine, surface water, ground water, aquaculture, meteorology, laboratory and real-time STP & ETP), Pharma & Bio- Tech (cleanroom, microbiology and quality control), and Occupational Health & Industrial Hygiene (physical & chemical exposure safety devices).
Further, the company also provides installation and commissioning services for marine/ship-based systems and has even done projects in Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore as well.
Additionally, Sun Teknolozy also specializes in providing highly accurate measuring systems for coastal, deep sea water, oceanographic water quality, gases, weather monitoring systems and other research-oriented studies, including data buoy deployments, ship-based profiling, water sampling, and mooring systems to address various research objectives.
A key highlight of Sun Teknolozy’s top-notch service delivery has been its specialization in data integration.
While most large industrial customers have niche requirements of their own with numerous setups and are thus forced to have an in-house data integration team or depend on external experts, the company also helps such client to gather data from various devices and visualize them onto a single centralized dashboard.
Playing a pivotal role in this regard is its highly adept technical team comprising personnel, each of whom possesses 15+ years of experience in the field and are trained by domestic and foreign OEMs. Sun Teknolozy’s in-house software team has developed an innovative solution comprising of real-time data transmission hardware and data reporting software. Customizable as per every client’s specific needs, this solution enables businesses to transmit, visualize and report data from various devices in real-time directly onto their servers as well as the servers of the respective regulatory bodies, facilitating seamless and hassle-free compliance.
“We at Sun Teknolozy possess unmatched experience in handling emission (stack and ambient), air quality (ambient, indoor, and workplace), gas detection systems, personal exposure monitoring, and water quality systems. Unlike other analyzer based continuous monitoring systems that are expensive and require periodic maintenance and consumables, we manufacture CEMS, laser dust monitors, stack velocity monitors and many other systems that are efficient, reliable and affordable without compromising on the quality. Each of these systems are equipped with core detection systems that are imported from abroad, with the electronics and software being manufactured in-house”, Gurunath further adds.
Quality & Client-Centricity – The USP
As an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, Sun Teknolozy leaves no stone unturned to ensure that its customers get nothing short of the best quality service. Well aware that most of the monitoring systems require regular on-site calibration and maintenance for their smooth and efficient functioning, the company also undertakes AMC & CMC contracts, along with providing additional support services such as on-site calibration, data connectivity with PCBs and many more.
Also, since every real-time monitoring system transmits data on a continuous basis to the pollution control boards, it is paramount to have a clear knowledge of every kind of monitoring system to choose the right one that suits their business and operate them accurately without any hassles. Given the lack of such understanding and skilled manpower among many organizations, Sun Teknolozy also conducts regular workshops and training programs to educate them about the various intricacies pertaining to the monitoring systems.
Going a step further, Sun Teknolozy is continuously engaged in introducing new technologies, upgrading its existing products, and expanding into newer segments to cater to every unmet need of its customers with utmost efficiency. Some of the noteworthy technologies that the company is currently working on include stack velocity monitors, water level, discharge & quality monitoring devices, automation & control systems, customizable IoT systems, data analytics software, and many more.
Further, it not only invests extensively on latest calibration devices, validation equipment and other service tools, but is also striving towards the indigenization of the monitoring systems to the maximum extent possible without comprising on their quality. Most importantly, Sun Teknolozy is also working with other manufacturers to come-up with a readymade VOC reduction system with inbuilt VOC monitors for industrial paint booths. This innovative-centered approach has helped the company immensely in ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction and position itself as the go-to partner for every environment monitoring requirement.
Explaining further, Gurunath asserts, “Unlike other vendors who focus on providing solutions rather than supplying products, our highly trained sales/ service engineering cum integration team understands the customer practical problems and provides a holistic solution. Right from choosing the best suited configuration of the system by conducting site study to designing the system with appropriate accessories, we work closely with various internal departments of our clients – be it the end user, IT team, environment team, or the management – for smooth execution of the project and to ensure that they get the right value for their money”.
Exploring Beyond Horizons
Given its exceptional track record and industry-best practices, Sun Teknolozy boasts of an elite clientele comprising of globally renowned names such as Pfizer, ISRO, Samsung, Lenovo, Nokia, Saint Gobain, MRF, Bosch, Bridgestone, Ford, Michelin, and Prestige Group, to name a few. Going forward, the company plans to foray into Africa, South Asia and other foreign markets with similar industry dynamics as India and further expand its products portfolio.
While the primary focus will be on data integration, industrial automation, IoT, real-time data transmission and analytics software, it is also looking forward to setup a complete Environmental Monitoring & Sustainability Studies related NABL accredited lab to address diverse calibration and validation requirements of customers with utmost data accuracy and traceability.
