56 Simple Rapid Detection of Biodiesel
A2 Technologies has announced that its iPAL FTIR analyser is now available with sampling technology and pre-loaded methods specifically designed for measurement of chemical species of significant importance to the nuclear power industry. Battery powdered, portable iPAL analysers are rapidly being adopted in nuclear power plants throughout the world to ensure reliable facility operation, regulatory compliance as well as supporting pro-active maintenance programmes.
iPAL systems easily handle some of the most time consuming chemical measurements - analyses that would typically take hours or even days off site are now handled by the iPAL system right on-site in a matter of minutes. For examples, iPAL analysers quickly and
easily measure %biodiesel in diesel fuel to levels as low as 0.025%, well below current worldwide regulatory guidelines. These measurements are carried out in less than one minute without the necessity to send samples to an outside laboratory. iPAL analysers easily and quickly measure the level of oil in cooling water, level of water in lubrication fluids and degree of oxidation of lubricants or fuel. A2 Technology also offers the PAL analyser, a bench top version of the iPAL, for customers who do not require battery operation or portability.
The rapid analysis capability of the iPAL is a result of the superior performance of the system coupled with A2 Technologies' proprietary TumblIR sampling interface. This sampling system, which is integral in the iPAL system, allows transmission infrared measurement of liquids without the traditional difficulties of using liquid IR cells. Using the pre-loaded methods, the operator simply places a single drop of fluid on a window, initiates a measurement via a single operation, and the system collects, analyses reports the data in easy to understand format. Clean-up is simply a wipe of the sample windows.

New Disposable Gloves Hand protection expert Marigold Industrial®
LABORATORY PRODUCTS
Boosting Efficiency and Safety for Asia’s Chemical Industries
CIA2009, Asia’s leading process engineering, controls instrumentation and scientific equipment exhibition, gathers the latest technologies and solutions that caters to industry demands to enhance product quality and expand production capacity while improving process safety and plant availability. The event boasts a 30-year track record and will return to Suntec Singapore from 1 to 4 December 2009.
has created
what is believed to be the first ever Chemical Permeation Chart for disposable gloves. The new chart is an essential reference tool for anyone working with, or responsibility for, selecting hand protection for people working with chemicals who need to know what levels of protection disposable gloves will offer.
Ideally suited for those working in sectors such as food processing, laboratory and pharmaceutical, hairdressing salons, the automotive, engineering and repair and maintenance sectors, the new guide provides essential information on what levels of contact time protection the range of Marigold
Industrial disposable gloves provide against 96 common workplace chemicals.
The easy-to-follow chart adopts a number rating from 0 to 6 to highlight specific glove permeation performance against the listed chemicals. A glove with a score of 6 provides permeation protection of over 8 hours whilst a glove with a score of 0 provides protection of less than 10 minutes and is therefore inappropriate for use with a particular chemical. Users can also cross-reference official chemical names with their common alternative names.
“The new chart effectively spells out clearly and simply not only how long you can safely use our gloves with a particular chemical but which gloves provide the highest levels of protection, therefore making decision making process a lot easier,” said Marigold Industrial UK Country Manager John Thorne.
Permeation is the process by which a chemical can pass through a protective barrier without going through visible openings. Molecules of a specific chemical enter the glove material and effectively wriggle through the compound – with the glove material often appearing unchanged to the human eye despite the fact its protection has been compromised.

CIA2009 consists of ControlsAsia2009, InstrumentAsia2009 and AnaLabAsia2009. Ongoing infrastructure developments within the energy, downstream petroleum and chemical sectors in Asia continue to be the key drivers of process technology demand on show at ControlsAsia2009 & InstrumentAsia2009. AnaLabAsia2009 brings key analytical instrumentation solutions from across the globe to the growing petrochemical, biodiesel, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in this part of the world. Robust growth in China and other Asia Pacific areas over the last few years have contributed significantly to the US$36 billion global market for analytical instrumentation.
Global market and technology leaders will seek to gain a larger foothold in Asia by participating in CIA2009. These include international players like Daihan, Esco, FDT, Weidmuller, GE Medical, IKA, ITS, Julabo, Merck, Metrohm, Milwaukee, PG General, Profibus, Retsch, SEAT Ventilation, Tosoh and Vector Infotech.
The Singapore pavilion, spearheaded by The Singapore Manufacturers’ Federation (SMa) and supported by IE Singapore, returns with a strong presence of 35 companies this year.
New at CIA2009 is The Industrial Bus & Wireless Technology Conference. Designed by industry leaders for industry professionals from multiple levels within plant design and operations, the conference will address the challenges for industries to reduce carbon footprint and enable greater robustness, safety and dependability of plant operations.
CIA2009 will also see prominent presence and support from well-regarded regional industry associations like CHWMEG, Japan Analytical Instruments Manufactures Association (JAIMA) and Korea Scientific Instruments Industry Cooperative (KSIIC). Held alongside CIA2009 at the same venue is EnviroAsia2009, the fourth environmental technologies exhibition and conference.
