Women's History Month: Inventor Mary Walton

Mary Walton
Mary Walton and her patented smoke-suppressing device.
For Women's History Month, we’re happy to highlight a 19th-century American inventor named Mary Walton. Living in post-industrial revolution New York City, Mary recognized that smoke pouring out of the numerous factories and trains was a problem.

 Determined to reduce the amount of soot that covered the city and lingered in the air, she engineered a solution: a device that directed the smoke into water tanks to be absorbed and flushed through the sewer system. 

CWS continues Mary’s vision for a cleaner, healthier environment. We offer professional air quality monitoring solutions combined with meteorological parameters that provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.

He recently explained how data from an Orion Weather Station installed at the plant is used for their operations: An Orion Weather Station installed at the plant. “The system was configured to transfer data via Modbus TCP to an Allen Bradley PLC. This data is then trended in a historical program for data retrieval at any time. If something major happens in the plant, it may be weather related. We can look at the historical trends of temperature, humidity, winds, barometric pressure and more. Columbia Weather data could pinpoint if a weather-related data point was a contributing factor of why the breakdown occurred.”  Kelly adde
