Measurement and Testing
client, not only outlining precise levels but also peak times and locations. This data can be used to quickly and effectively review processes and inform changes to improve air quality.
In short, we provide meaningful detail for a business to understand its levels, analyse its impact and review behaviour to drive positive change.
A Call to Action for Tighter Legislative Control
We believe that the best way to protect public safety is by introducing strict, joined-up legislation. Governments worldwide need to take the lead and outline a clear structure. Everyone who uses or produced benzene must regularly monitor levels and feedback their results in a clear and accurate fashion.
Although an essential chemical, the negative aspects of benzene are severe. It is critical for us to agree on best practice approaches and implement regulation guiding acceptable levels. This, alongside continued research into safe levels and long- term effects, is essential to safeguard our communities and the environment.

Ballast-Check 2 Approved by Saudi Aramco for Indicative Compliance Testing
Following detailed scientific and technical evaluation by the Environmental Protection Department of Saudi Aramco, the Turner Designs’ Ballast-Check 2 Handheld PAM Fluorometer is approved as a valid Ballast Water Sampling Instrument. Saudi Aramco will now accept results from certified technicians using Turner Designs Ballast-Check 2 Handheld PAM Fluorometer in addition to the other previously approved instrumentation. Saudi Aramco announced in August that all ships calling at its ports and terminals are required to provide ballast water test results to show compliance with the IMO BWM 2004 convention. It has been a challenge to sample all the arriving ships and Saudi Aramco looks forward to having additional
certified technicians and instrumentation performing the tests.
Ballast-Check™2 is a small, lightweight, highly durable handheld fluorometer ideal for quick indicative compliance checks of ballast water. Factory set, Ballast-Check 2 is ready for use right out of the box, no calibration necessary. Extremely simple one-button measurements display estimates in less than 1 minute of both algal abundance and algal activity, providing ship crew or port state control with an indication of risk for exceedance of the regulation. Small, battery-powered, water-proof, and easy to use, Ballast-Check 2 is perfect for field use. Ballast-Check 2 is ideal for quick on-the-spot assessments of the effectiveness of a Ballast Water Treatment System.
Turner Designs is working closely with several service providers to train and certify them to support Saudi Aramco as more are needed. Turner Designs is partnered with Wilhelmsen Ships Services to provide worldwide sales and support of Ballast-Check 2 to ship owners and operators.
New Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) Monitors for Transformers for Clients Around the World
For More Info, email: email:
Vaisala is working with power utilities, maintenance providers and asset owners to bring the first commercial units of its OptimusTM DGA Monitor for Transformers online.
As transformer fleets continue to age, the likelihood of faults and failure increases accordingly. Real-time condition monitoring enables asset owners to identify and address potential issues before they result in costly failure, reducing maintenance costs and boosting production and performance.
For More Info, email: email:
Vaisala’s Optimus monitors transformer oil for the presence of moisture and seven different gases. By tracking real-time levels of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, ethylene and acetylene, it gives asset owners a comprehensive understanding of the condition and health of a transformer, enabling them to make informed proactive maintenance decisions.
While many DGA systems available in the market source equipment and sensors from different manufacturers, the infrared sensor technology used in the Optimus has been developed in-house by Vaisala, benefitting from decades of industrial measurement expertise. This integrated approach, using only Vaisala-manufactured sensors and equipment, ensures optimal performance regardless of operational conditions.
Most significantly, Optimus uses vacuum gas extraction and hermetically sealed and protected optics to completely eliminate the false alarms of the kind that frequently afflict on-site DGA systems. Optimus ensures high quality gas selectivity through its use of vacuum gas extraction, which operates regardless of oil temperature or gas pressure, and by employing spectral scanning to aid selectivity.
The robust and durable device has components and piping that are made of stainless steel and aluminum, features a magnetic gear pump and valves, and relies on no consumables, which would require servicing or replacing. With a practical browser-based user interface, the device has no need for additional software.
“DGA analysis has long been accepted as one of the most effective means of assessing transformer condition,” said Teemu Hanninen, Product Manager at Vaisala. “At Vaisala, we recognized that there was room to improve the reliability, usability and lifetime costs of the existing devices, and we decided to take on the challenge. With its proven durability and sensors protected from contamination, Optimus has shown that it can deliver reliable and accurate data.”

CAC GAS & Instrumentation’s GDS-100 gas distribution system improves efficiency of calibration gas systems, reduces costs and reduces technician time when calibrating multiple gas detection instruments or analysers.
The GDS-100 provides a simple solution for distributing calibration gas to multiple instruments, calibration stations or docking stations.
Utilising our multiple-panel outlet panel, the GDS-100 provides calibration gas to all outlet points allowing the technician to calibrate multiple instruments at the same time. Multiple panels can be linked to provide an unlimited number of connection points. Each outlet point has a C10 valve which permits the connection of fixed flow, variable flow, on demand flow or pressure regulators.
As part of a docking station system, the GDS-100 can be designed to accommodate single or multiple gas mixtures. Outlets can be linked to one gas type or dedicated to different gas mixtures, whether corrosive or non-corrosive, as panels and all connections are stainless steel.
Additionally, the GDS-100 gas distribution systems can be designed so gas cylinders are in a safe location away from the outlet panels and calibration area.
By increasing the size of the calibration gas cylinder, the cost/ litre calibration gas cost is reduced, decreasing overall costs of maintenance and calibration.
