An Assessment of the Impact that Gas Monitoring Practices Can Have on “Cost of Ownership” and “Return on Investment”
Consideration and discussion are devoted to the notion that “gas monitoring instrumentation should be treated just like any other piece of lifesaving equipment…”1. This is especially true for the semiconductor, photovoltaic, and gas manufacturing industries, where even the tiniest of impurities can wreck economical havoc on a plant, including loss of product, equipment damage, ...

FPI Solution: Coal Injection Process and Detection of Its Process Gas
Application Area: Iron & Steel Industry Process: Coal Injection Measuring Components: O2, COApplication Scenario: Pulverized Coal Injection is the key to optimizing the blast furnace process for high productivity as well as hot metal cost. In this process, the raw coal is fed into the pulverizer along with heated air. As the coal gets crushed, the hot air dries it and blows the usable fine ...

Wastewater Treatment Plant Monitors Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Case Study
Globally, little attention is paid to gaseous emissions from wastewater treatment processes. This contrasts greatly with the regulatory monitoring that is applied to the quality of water emissions from such facilities. However, in Helsinki, Finland, a large municipal wastewater treatment facility continuously monitors its emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to help in the city’s efforts to ...

New gas detection equipment and iNet exchange restore consistency - Case Study
Challenge Two neighboring off-shore rigs owned by one of the world’s largest oil companies set the stage for a much needed unified solution: Platform 1, over twenty years in operation, equipped with an aging gas detection fleet that required ongoing heavy maintenance and replacement of parts; and Platform 2, a much newer counterpart, interchangeably operated by some of the same ...

Read about Confined Space in Construction and Atmospheric Testing Right Here!
In 1993, 29 CFR 1910.146 went into effect as the first federal legislation governing entry into permit-required confined spaces in general industry. Because some industries, such as the construction industry, were covered by specific Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety regulations, they were exempt from the confined space entry requirements of the general industry rule. ...

The Gasmet story from an academic idea to a global business
In this article, Dr Petri Jaakkola, founder and Chairman of Gasmet Technologies Oy explains how an idea shared by a group of researchers at the University of Oulu in Finland, during the early 1970s, developed into one of the world’s leading gas monitoring instrumentation manufacturers. Early history – technology development At first, the Finnish researchers understood that the ...

A simple radon chamber for use with soil gas for calibration of radon measuring devices and instruments
A simple and easy to use radon calibration chamber of volume of 216 litres was designed and constructed for applications in calibration of radon measuring devices and for research studies. The main advantage of this chamber is that instead of using 226Ra source to generate the 222Rn inside the chamber, soil gas is utilised as a source of 222Rn. Soil gas is drawn from the soil using a pump to fill ...

EPA Method 415.3 - Determination of TOC in Source Water and Drinking Water
Method 415.3 states that the measurement of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and DOC must use a TOC instrument that oxidizes organic carbon in the water to create carbon dioxide gas, which is then measurable. The instruments are required to use one of two basic oxidation methods – either through combustion with an oxidizing gas, or through chemical oxidation with persulfate promoted by either UV ...

No Need for Redundant Systems
How many gas monitoring systems does it take to measure a gas concentration? Strangely enough, the answer is not always one. Gas concentration monitoring is not always an easy task. In the ideal world, a monitoring system needs no maintenance, it is infinitely fail-safe, and it operates impeccable irrespectively of the conditions of the gas. However, then reality hits the system with more or less ...

A marked improvement in the reliability of the measurement of trace moisture in gases
Introduction Water is an important substance without which mankind cannot survive. However, it also causes problems such as residual impurity in scientific experiments and in manufacturing processes where a high-vacuum condition or a high-purity gas is required. This is because water is present in the atmosphere in large quantities and therefore can intrude readily everywhere, and can adsorb ...
