Safety Enhancements to core product in control and safety system family
of solutions allow quick system upgrades and improve productivity Yokogawa Electric Corporation has announced that it has added new functions to the CENTUM VP integrated production control system, and released it as CENTUM VP R6.06 on July 17th. CENTUM VP is the core product in the OpreXTM Control and Safety System family of solutions. It is widely used for monitoring and control of plant operations in various sectors including oil and gas, petrochemicals and chemicals,
The enhancements to CENTUM VP R6.06 include the addition of support for Windows Server 2016, a modification that enables FCS programs to be upgraded with minimal interruption to operations, and the addition of a function to the Automation Design Suite (AD Suite) integrated engineering environment that allows minor modifications to be made to applications software during witness inspections. (This is in addition to the bulk editing function already provided with AD Suite.) This improves engineering efficiency and helps customers improve productivity.
CENTUM VP provides an optimum operation, monitoring, and engineering environment for the entire plant lifecycle, from initial design, engineering, installation of systems and equipment, and start-up to full operation, maintenance, renovation, modification, and end of service. Yokogawa has continued to enhance this system to ensure optimal performance. As full backwards compatibility is assured, users always have the option of updating their system to make full use of the latest technologies.
Although FCS software is usually upgraded when plants are periodically shut down for large-scale shutdown maintenance (SDM), some of our customers have indicated that they would like to be able to choose when to perform these upgrades. Therefore, a function has been added that enables these upgrades to be performed while the FCS is operating. The functionality of the AD Suite engineering tool has also been improved. Combined with the control system virtualisation platform that was released last year, this helps to improve system maintenance and reduces the risk of project delays.
Work that would normally have to wait several years until the SDM period can now be done at a time of the customer’s own choosing. This is possible because of modifications to the CENTUM VP software that enable a smoother switchover between the dual-redundant control-side and standby-side CPU modules. This both improves uptime and allows users to freely choose when to install upgrades. In addition, Yokogawa has enhanced its support organisation to ensure that its customers receive all necessary technical support with their system maintenance activities. With this new version of CENTUM VP, downtime is eliminated, productivity is enhanced, and users are able to take advantage of the latest control technologies.

core value at Uniphos Envirotronic Inc. and to ensure we are providing the best possible protection against toxic gases and
vapors, we have expanded our product line to offer more options in different situations.
CEO Brent Yaschuk said two of the areas Uniphos has branched out in are portable monitors and calibration gases.
“We initiated a partnership with PortaGas a few years ago with a focus on PortaGreen cylinders which provide a refillable environmental solution,” said Yaschuk. “In late 2017, we announced a partnership with Blackline Safety and began distributing their state-of-the-art line of portable gas monitors.”
Some of the popular products that Uniphos distributes includes their 3G wireless monitors, G7x satellite wireless monitors and the web- based monitoring services. The Uniphos team is also looking forward to the release of the new confined space monitor this fall, as this will be a popular addition to the line of products.
When it comes to the calibration gases, we offer several different sizes, as well as single gas, multi- gas, highly reactive gases and regulator materials. Some of the gases we provide include nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and quad gas combinations.
We also offer an assortment of regulator body material such as brass, nickel-plated or stainless steel for different applications.
“Together with the traditional line of Uniphos gas detection tubes and gas sampling bags, these products help round out our total offerings to make sure our clients are working in safe environments,” said Yaschuk.

Uniphos, well known for gas detection tubes and gas sampling bags
Providing reliable measurements of toxic vapors and gases is critical to maintain a safe working environment, and Uniphos Envirotronic Inc. is an industry expert.
Global Product Manager Ed Ligus says the company has focused primarily on products like gas detection tubes and gas sampling bags to exploit our expertise in these products.
“Tubes are most commonly used to take measurements in the workplace for employee exposures, process control gas checks, hazmat response and compressed breathing air,” says Ligus, adding that typically these tubes are used for on-the-spot measurements when you know what to expect, or in hazmat situations to narrow down the possibilities quickly.
“Gas sampling bags are used to collect samples from gas wells, process lines, even pressurized cylinders to name a few, then a detector tube may be used to sample the gas in the bag, but more often to collect a sample to be sent to a lab to be analyzed using laboratory equipment.”
Uniphos specialises in both of these products and is actually the only gas manufacturer to offer two lines of gas detection tubes: the 5 mm Uniphos tubes and the 7 mm KwikDraw tubes. The Uniphos gas detection tubes work with a piston style pump while the KwikDraw tubes are used with a bellows pump.
When it comes to gas sampling bags, Uniphos offers several types: Tedlar®
46816pr@reply-direct.com , FEP® ,Multi-layer and ALTEF®. We also offer a custom service when it
comes to bag sizing, creating bags that are specifically designed to meet your individual requirements. For More Info, email:
