PureAire Combines Oxygen and CO2 Sensors to provide a Dual Gas Monitor to the Marketplace

Apr. 30, 2013

As a recognized leader in O2 safety monitoring, PureAire recently explored the need for an O2 monitor where carbon dioxide is used. There are four key cryogenic gases; nitrogen, helium, argon, and carbon dioxide (CO2), which can create an oxygen deficient atmosphere. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) covering cryogenic gases cite that a cryogenic ...

Automatic calibration saves big

Apr. 30, 2013

Automatic gas sensor calibration technology was developed by Rel-Tek and proven over a decade of industrial applications involving large alternative fuel, transit bus garages.  CNG, LNG, LPG and hydrogen fuels present the possibility of explosive gas buildup indoors, so sustaining the accuracy of the installed gas monitoring system is a ...

8 steps to managing your organisation`s Scope 3 carbon emissions

Apr. 26, 2013

Scope 3 emissions, or 'value chain emissions', represent all the indirect impacts upstream and downstream of an organisation, not already captured by the GHG Protocol's Scope 1 and 2 reporting. These often represent the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and in some cases can account for up to 90% of the total carbon impact. The ...

IR Gas Detector Provides Rapid Response

Apr. 3, 2013

The advanced Model IR400 Point IR Combustible Gas Detector from General Monitors features an industry-leading three-second T90 response time to the presence of combustible hydrocarbon-based gases, which allows plant operators to respond quickly to gas leaks and avoid potential accidents. With its fast three-second response time, the Model IR400 ...

Gas safety in confined spaces

Apr. 2, 2013

A confined space is any space large enough for someone to enter and perform assigned work, which has limited means of entry or exit, and which is not designed for continuous worker occupancy. This covers just about every industry, including utilities, construction, hydrocarbon exploration and processing, petrochemicals, marine, agriculture, food ...

Oxygen Monitors for the New Millennium

Mar. 8, 2013

Oxygen monitors have become a required piece of safety equipment for many industrial and laboratory environments, where the release of certain toxics can create an area unsafe for living beings (human or animal).  When making a purchasing decision on any oxygen detection monitor, one need look no further than the sensor cell found at the ...

FTIR gas analysis improves container safety

Feb. 22, 2013

Introduction Entry to freight containers represents a significant hazard to staff responsible for inspection, stuffing or destuffing because of the large number of airborne chemicals that can be present. Research in Germany and the Netherlands found hazardous levels of gases and vapours in around 20% of all containers and this level of ...

PureAire Oxygen (O2) Monitor Used in MRI Rooms Around The World

Jan. 9, 2013

In the early 1980’s, there were 12 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines in use.  Today, there are approximately 25,000 around the globe. One item in common is their use of Helium. Liquid Helium is most often associated with party balloons and funny voices, but 20% of the world supply of this super-cooled gas is used in ...
