Measurement and Testing Automated Solution Brings Clarity for Natural Gas Analysis
DataApex (Czech Republic) is pleased to announce new significant enhancements for Clarity Chromatography Software available in the new version 2.8. that was released in late October 2009.
The brand new optional extension for natural gas analysis (NGA) calculations greatly enhances utilisation in petrochemical industry. Users will have an automated solution for calculating specific natural gas properties at their fingertips. The NGA extension performs the Compression factor, Mean Molecular Weight, Density, Wobbe index and other calculations using different norms.
Again the new version is focused on adding more comfort to Clarity users. The new Launch Manager utility allows starting Clarity with predefined profiles with different configurations and user preferences. This will facilitate switching instrument configurations. The new OQ Validation Wizard guides the user through the operational qualification of the Clarity Software that can now validate digital detectors.
The version 2.8 newly includes control module for GC series 300 from Cambridge Scientific Instruments (UK) developed in cooperation with the GC producer. The demonstration version of the Clarity Software and the complete list of controlled instruments can be downloaded from the DataApex website.
Clarity Chromatography Software has a strong position in the chromatography data systems market. Clarity is highly regarded for its intuitive approach, excellent performance, cost-effectiveness and proficient technical support. DataApex is solely focused on chromatography software development. A strong emphasis is placed on technological innovation, visionary adoption of new laboratory standards, best practices and extensive customer support.
Reader Reply Card No 135 Corrosion Protection Products for Oil and Gas Pipelines
3M (USA) has introduced new Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) technology 3M™ Scotchkote Coating 626-120 and Scotchkote Coating 626-140. The new products offer solutions to address new challenges and needs for high-temperature pipeline coatings in the oil and gas industry. These Scotchkote coatings protect oil and gas pipelines against corrosion while they operate at high temperatures. Scotchkote coating 626-120 can operate up to 115o temperatures up to 135oC as a stand alone and up to 150o
C as a stand alone and up to 130o C as part of a three-layer system.
Both Scotchkote coating120 and 140 products are a one-part, heat curable thermosetting epoxy powder designed as a stand alone or as the corrosion coating for a dual layer FBE and multilayer polyolefin system for the corrosion protection of pipe. These new FBE coatings have excellent thermal properties that protect natural gas and crude oil pipes against corrosion. 3M high-performance coatings offer a more reliable pipeline system, overcoming the challenges that energy companies face when hot pipelines cause coatings degradation leaving pipes vulnerable to corrosion.
According to 3M’s marketing manager Henry Hernandez, Corrosion Protection Products, pipelines are operating at higher temperatures than ever due to deep downhole oil and gas production. “This creates a problem of corrosion of pipes that requires advanced materials and technologies. 3M’s Scotchkote coatings are designed to withstand the heat and provide an innovative solution that offers reliable high-operating temperature coating systems for the oil and gas industry,” Hernandez states.

Demand for Automatic Vapour Recovery Monitoring Growing Rapidly
Water Analysis Systems
Legislation to install Vapour recovery stage 2 systems on retail forecourts has been introduced in many countries globally. The requirements for Vapour Recovery Equipment Performance for the installed base are similar, and either manual or automatic monitoring of the systems are mandatory.
If a retailer decides to operate sites by employing a third-party conducting See beyond complex water analysis.
manual performance control twice a year, the operational costs of such services will quickly become uneconomical in comparison with a one-time installation of an automatic monitoring system. A site with an Automatic Monitoring System will need much lower control frequencies and costs.
The Fafnir (Germany) Vapour Recovery Monitoring System Vaporix is the most installed system worldwide. Over the past 7 years, more than 70,000 Vaporix sensors have demonstrated exceptional reliability with a MTTF (mean time to failure) of more than 100 years. The system is universal and can easily be installed in all known dispenser brands.

The most reliable ppb D.O. test is also the simplest.
CHEMetrics’ ppb D.O. visual test is ASTM’s primary reference standard for detecting dissolved oxygen in water.* With sensitivity down to 1 ppb, no false negatives and no instrument calibration, it’s easy to see why. If the world leader in technical standards approves the CHEMetrics method, shouldn’t you? Find out more...

The microwave barrier Vega ‘MIP’ (Microwave Impulse Point-level) from Vega (Germany) is especially designed for the special needs of the bulk solids industry. As this is a non-contact measurement, VegaMIP 61 has no direct contact with the medium. This provides reliability for abrasive, aggressive or high temperature applications. In such cases VEGAMIP can measure from the outside through a microwave permeable window, e.g. in ceramic, glass or plastic material. It can also be applied to liquid level detection or object detection, such as truck positioning and on conveyors etc. and operates consistently with dirt, dust or build up. Ranges are up to 100m.
VegaMIP T61 consists of a transmitter and one or several VegaMIP R61 receivers for wider areas. The adjustable sensitivity receiver measures the attenuation of the microwave signal and outputs a relay switch. VegaMIP can be used as a maximum or minimum sensor; switching delays can be set between 0.1 and 20 s.
VegaMIP 61 is fully integrated into Vega's plics® modular system. There are a
range of plastic, aluminium or stainless steel housings as well as different antenna systems and process fittings, thus allowing configuration of the sensor precisely to specific requirements.
