FLIR Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) has announced the new FLIR GF346 Thermal Imaging Camera. Able to remotely scan large areas rapidly, and pinpoint gas leaks in real time, the FLIR GF346 is ideal for safely monitoring plants where it is difficult to reach components with contact measurement tools such as gas sniffers.

During a recent service two thickener drives at the Scottish Water sewage treatment works in Glendevon were deemed to be obsolete. The costs of either repairing or replacing the drives would be extremely high as replacing the drives would require lengthy downtime and a repair job would be inefficient. Fortunately Brevini, working closely with Brammer Plc. a provider of industrial services, was able to deliver a no-engineering solution which would...

Burkert has provided a complete process control system, including level and flow monitoring, fluid control and process actuation, for a new Moulding Station and Effluent Treatment plant, installed at Mersen’s new production facility at Eurocentral in Scotland. The Burkert control system is integral to the new moulding and treatment facilities, automating what was previously a manual manufacturing process, to improve its quality, yield and outpu...

Schueco, one of the leading producers of photovoltaic panels, used Flomerics’ Flovent computational fluid dynamics software to redesign its products to improve their thermal performance so that 15% to 20% more panels can be used in a given space. Today’s photovoltaic panels present a major thermal design challenge since every degree Centigrade of temperature rise reduces the power produced by 0.5%. “The CFD results helped us understand exac...

The latest L2 Building Regulations introduced by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) demand that every new building – domestic and commercial – must be pressure tested to check air leakage. This is part of the UK Government’s drive to reduce the carbon footprint of all new builds in line with its Kyoto Protocol commitments.

Rexnord’s zinc passivation and acid resistant coatings now have a new blue lustre. This new coating replaces the former yellow chromate one to comply with new legal requirements introduced to eliminate carcinogenic coatings. As before, this new blue zinc coating is offered by Rexnord as an option on all its chains and associated attachments.

During the Buncefield incident in Hertfordshire in 2005, it was established that there was no coordinated response to potentially adverse air quality incidents. As a result, the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs asked the Environment Agency to lead a coordinated monitoring and modeling response with the Met Office, Health Protection Agency, Public Health Wales, Health & Safety Labs and the Food Standards Agency, to set up air qu...

ABLE Instruments & Controls, a leading supplier of instrumentation and control solutions in process industries, has announced the award of a multimillion dollar contract order to supply flow meters to the natural gas processing facility within the Chevron-operated Gorgon Project in Australia, one of the world’s largest natural gas projects.

A new Gas Monitoring Video from General Monitors explains the PA4000 Monitor’s gas detection principle and itsapplication in a wide range of hazardous industrial environments to protectpeople, equipment, and facilities. Offering a low maintenance, cost-saving solution in situations wherevapor interference or contaminants preclude the use of other measurement techniques, the reliable PA4000 Photoacoustic Gas Monitor provides precise,high-perform...

The TS4000H Intelligent Toxic Gas Detector from General Monitors delivers accurate ammonia detection and protection, offering reliable monitoring for a variety of applications. Because of its many uses, ammonia (NH3) is one of the most highly produced inorganic chemicals worldwide.
