12 Gas Detection Continuous Biogas Analysis – More for Less
A new static gas analyser for anaerobic digestion (AD) biogas, and landfill gas monitoring suits tight-budget demand with top-quality design, components and engineering. The new GA3000 uses Geotech’s robust, field-proven technology to bring low-cost to automated fixed-position monitoring of methane- rich biogas. Easily operator installed, user field-calibrated and zeroed, the compact, self-contained, single-cabinet GA3000 has gas conditioning as
standard. It continuously analyses CH4, CO2, O2 and optionally, H2S at 0-5000ppm. They are measured, at user-set timings, and supply data via three or four, 4-20mA local outputs. Users also set alarm levels and can see screen-displayed readings on a large, clear, backlit display.
Already creating a stir since its July 2010 preview at the UK Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Association (ADBA) NEC show, the strong interest in the GA3000 is its application for AD, wastewater sludge treatment and landfill gas extraction. The GA3000 is available from Sept 2010.
AD is increasingly being used in waste processing and biogas production to recycle food and farm waste, avoid landfill and generate biogas and energy from waste. These AD installations, large and small, need continuous gas analysis to optimise AD, maximise output and ensure safety and compliance with environmental guidelines and legislation.
This new robust, reliable and cost-effective system provides continuous and accurate sampling of methane, carbon dioxide and oxygen from a single sample point. Hydrogen sulphide sampling is a GA3000 option. User field calibration of the analyser and exchange of the optional hydrogen sulphide (H2S) sensor reduce operational costs. With no training required and engineered for low ownership cost, this ISO 17025 calibration accredited unit is designed for quick and easy self-installation in any country, worldwide. User relocation of the GA3000 is just as easy.
With gas conditioning included as standard, to ensure top quality gas analysis, the user-replaceable H2S sensor and analyser ‘Hot Swap’ capability offers zero downtime.
The GA3000 adds to Geotech’s static gas analysis range which includes the current Automated Extraction Monitoring System (AEMS) that has more extensive application options with, for example, multiple sampling points, data inputs and 4-20mA local data outputs, Profibus and Modbus comms. options, Ethernet and Internet connectivity, data logging and transfer. For applications not requiring the extensive capability of Geotech AEMS, the GA3000 now delivers exactly what many users need at the very attractive package price they want - available on application. The GA3000 will be on display, with more information, at EBEC 6-7 Oct., stand J17, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire UK. More:

S, CO, VOC’s atmospheric and borehole pressure, Gas Detection Camera Helps Assure Process Safety
FLIR (Belgium) Advanced Thermal Solutions has announced a new application story that describes how the Bayernoil Refinery in Southern Germany has integrated the GasFindIR gas detection camera into its leak detection and repair program.
Looking for fugitive emissions - refinery plants are subjected to a general turnover, a huge inspection and maintenance operation during which units are taken out of operation, partially dismantled, cleaned, maintained and tested. With safety and environmental considerations paramount - Bayernoil have adopted the FLIR GasFindIR as a key preventive maintenance tool to ensure process safety.
FLIR regularly publishes application stories where you can read how its customers are using FLIR infrared cameras and thermal imaging solutions.

button operation. Simultaneously monitor and display H2S, CO, O2 and combustibles. With flexible power options, AA batteries or a rechargeable battery pack, the GasAlertQuattro is always ready for your shift. The large LCD with intuitive icons and backlight simplifies on-site auditing and compliance. Bump test and calibration icons are clearly identifiable, and extralarge digits are easy to read in varying light conditions. The green LED confidence flash provides continuous visual confirmation of detector operation and compliance. The versatile GasAlertQuattro was designed for harsh environments. A durable exterior with reinforced bumpers and integral concussion-proof boot protect the detector. Suited to a wide range of industrial applications including general confined space entry, the GasAlertQuattro offers a simple, automatic calibration procedure and is compatible with BW’s MicroDock II automatic test and calibration system. With the GasAlertQuattro, seeing is believing.
