Objective One of the advantages of the membrane conductivity measurement system employed in the Sievers 900 Series TOC Analyzers, compared to other TOC analyzers, is the excellent stability of the calibration. To illustrate this, a series of tests were conducted on three 900 Series analyzers over the course of a 14-month period and the results are summarized in this report . The 900 ...
The MCERTS approved HORIBA PG-250 has been one of the most popular instruments in Ashtead Technology’s fleet of rental equipment for a number of years. Jay Neermul, the company’s Environmental Product Manager says “This is because it is able to analyse CO, NO/NOx, SO2 and CO2 using standard reference methods in a portable instrument that can be easily and ...
It may be small, but my word it’s effective. One of the newest products into the Partech catalogue, the Sensorex Portable UVT, has already proved its worth in challenging conditions within demanding industry trial. The convenient, user-friendly transmittance instrument with its world leading UV-C LED technology was tested alongside more expensive and unnecessarily complicated equipment ...
Did you know that workers are needlessly injured every year as a result of leaking toxic or combustible substances? Such incidents are known to involve a wide range of hazardous gases (including ammonia, carbon monoxide, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, hydrocarbon vapors and so on). The sad reality is that most of these accidents are avoidable if only the workplace is adequately monitored. This leads ...
In 2006, the USEPA singled out the distribution system as the most vulnerable component of a utility’s drinking water system. In response, many waterworks are taking a closer look at how they may protect the public’s drinking water. One option is to place online water quality panels throughout the distribution system to detect a change in the baseline water quality. The cost of implementing a ...
The Geotech G100, which measures CO2 from 0-20%, is used to demonstrate accurate and repeatable CO2 readings of the atmosphere inside incubators. In just a few seconds an embryologist is able to take a reading from various incubators, all of which will have a different means of sampling the air inside an incubator, without fully opening the inner door and adversely affecting the environment. It ...
Introduction Defiant’s FROG 4000, a portable GCPID system, was used to identify and determine the concentration of chlorinated alkenes in several extraction wells located in Tacoma Washington. Split samples were taken at each well and sent to an offsite lab for analysis. This case study examines the field exercise and highlights the high degree of agreement between the offsite lab and ...
Both EN 14078 and ASTM D7371 methods for measuring the percent biodiesel in diesel fuel use infrared analysis as the analytical method and are based around using an FTIR spectrometer which has the capability to do a multitude of analyses besides the biodiesel in diesel measurement. This is great for a laboratory where various biofuels measurements are required. However, if the only measurement ...
Many of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) methods used to monitor air, water and soil for environmental contaminants prescribe step-by-step details on how the chemical analysis must be conducted and prohibit any deviations or variations. The EPA has recognized that monitoring equipment and technology have improved tremendously over the last few years; that environmental media do not ...
Evaluation of an MCM moisture analyser and validation system during start up of Platformer 4 at Shell Bukom, April 2005. Overview Platformer start up requires an accurate knowledge of moisture levels in order too prevent over cracking, help optimise yields and prevent early catalyst damage. The presence of chloride and other contaminants during start up often affect the water ...
Airport Noise Monitoring On Demand increases flexibility for investigation, compliance or planned changes Brüel & Kjær today announced the release of Airport Noise Monitoring On Demand, a system that enables airports to temporarily - and cost-effectively - increase noise monitoring when needs arise. This system helps airports measure ...
Remote and wireless monitoring technology to meet CDM requirements is in its infancy in Europe. Carbon trading is driving it globally, especially in North and South America. That experience and technology is now finding a demand in Europe and Asia in landfill, biogas from food and animal waste in digesters and water treatment sludge digestion. Methane recovery from landfill and anaerobic ...
Walking through a drill-site area, a worker smells rotten eggs and stops tor a minute or two to assess where a gas leak might exist. Rubbing his itchv eves as he investigates further, he notices that he no longer smells the tell¬tale hydrogen sulphide odour. He does not realize that the gas has deadened his olfactory senses and unless he leaves the area within seconds, he could lose ...
Project Summary In this application a number of noise monitors were installed to measure the noise from a new international airport both during the construction and also when the airport opened. The noise monitors were located on buildings, in and around the centre of a large city. The Invictus Permanent Noise Monitor was chosen as each location was different and each installation needed ...
Geotech's users of environmental monitoring equipment are not alone in their frustration at having valuable equipment unavailable when they require servicing. Is this just a money-making scam? What do users get for their money? By combining maximum possible local support with a 100-point factory full service schedule, Geotech believe they have the best balance of user ...
We’ve put together seven important factors that are worth considering before, during and after use of gas leak detection equipment. Whether investing in refrigerant gas leak detection equipment as part of compliance for the F-Gas Regulations or for one of the other many benefits that gas leak detection offers, it is important to be aware of the key factors that can be put in place to help ...
In case you weren’t sure, Suspended Solids is simply a density measurement used to describe exactly how much waste sludge and particles are in the water, and is measured in milligrams per litre (mg/l), grams per litre (g/l) or percentage solid (%). 1000mg/l = 1g/l = 0.1%. It is used to calculate the amount of material, or load, in a wastewater or industrial system. Suspended Solids ...
