Air Monitoring - UK Focus ix Gas Analytic Solutions to the Next Level


Siemens UK & Ireland has launched a new generation of continuous gas analytic solutions boasting increased flexibility, precise measurement capability and an industry-first modular operating concept - all designed to meet changing industrial needs.


The SIPROCESS GA700 series is a step change in the field of modern process gas analytics. It builds on Siemens’ reputation for outstanding quality and technology-driven innovation by adding a new concept for process gas analytics: a system of modularity. The new generation now offers tangible continuous gas analytic advantages for typical application areas such as process control and optimisation within incineration plants, process monitoring at chemical and petrochemical plants and quality control of high purity gases.


The SIPROCESS GA700 range offers three analysis modules, two housing types and one operational display unit to provide a previously unmatched level of flexibility to satisfy the increasingly diverse range of market requirements.


For the first time, industrial customers can utilise two analysis modules within each of the two available


housing types – rack or wall-mounted. By combining OXYMAT 7, CALOMAT 7, or ULTRAMAT 7 modules, both measurement and interfering gas corrections can be accessed via one device, offering fast and easy replacement when required. In addition, modular operation via a single display unit is supported by a universal operating concept across the range that includes menu navigation, as well as display functionality in ten languages.


Installation is easy and based upon a ‘plug and measure’ principle. Customers can simply insert the module, plug in, turn on and begin measuring. After setup, module configuration takes place automatically. Customer specific settings can be saved and transferred quickly when replacing a module, minimising error sources and downtime.


Bob Lane, Business Manager – Analytical Products & Solutions at Siemens UK & Ireland says: “The launch of the SIPROCESS GA700 range offers an industry- leading gas analysis solution for industrial users and is testimony to the continued investment commitment made by Siemens to engineer the best gas analysis solutions on the market. The flexibility and modular concept at the heart of its development is designed to help users combine individual analytical solutions, while the ‘plug & measure’ operating principle provides a quick and straightforward answer for easy retrofitting and simple conversion tasks.


“The uniform operating concept, together with innovative auto-calibration, access to fast data and improved operational efficiencies, means the SIPROCESS GA700 series now offers an unmatched and complete solution for modern process gas analytics.”

“By utilising ‘single-line’ spectroscopy, the Laser Gas Analyser (LGA) range can be configured for continuous analysis of a number of key compounds, with an enormous dynamic range from single figure ppm to % levels, without interference from other process components,” he adds.

S and H2


Typical applications include waste to energy, incineration, ammonia slip control, HCl measurement for sorbent injection optimisation, furnace oxygen, flue gas monitoring in FCC catalyst regeneration, trace H2


O in natural gas, H2 S measurements in sulphur recovery, cross-duct CO monitoring for electrostatic precipitator safety, and many others.


“The LGA range of process gas analysers delivers the well-established benefits of TDLAS technology - high specificity, fast response, super-low maintenance, with proven reliability in harsh operating environments and very low ownership costs,” comments Keith. “Developed out of Stanford University California, the cradle of TDLAS commercialisation, FPi was established in China in 2002 and now employs over 3,000 staff. We have visited a number of LGA installations and were very impressed by the standards of quality and reliability being delivered by these instruments.”

37019pr@reply-direct.com Incomplete and Unclear Says the CIEH Government Plan to Meet NO2


Defra’s final Air Quality Plan, released just before Christmas, is incomplete and fails to give local authorities all the help they need the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) has said.


In the Plan, published on 17 December 2015 shortly before the deadline set by the Supreme Court in April, the Government announced that it will use default powers to require key cities to implement Clean Air Zones (CAZs).


But the CIEH has warned that without draft Directions and with Defra still working on its template for CAZs, promised only for `early 2016`, it is still not clear how much of the detail will be prescribed or whether local authorities will just be instructed to achieve the limit values.


Funding remains another concern and the CIEH’s Principal Policy Officer, Howard Price, said: “As a new burden imposed by the Government, CAZs should be fully-funded.


“But while the Plan states at the beginning that funding will be provided for scoping studies, later-on it says only that they will be ‘supported’, with a suggestion that there will be a bidding process to secure the money.”


A further funding issue for the CIEH is that the Plan is silent on the on-going costs of employing expert people while it says providing the infrastructure and maintaining the new schemes is to be paid-for by charges on non-compliant vehicles which, at the same time, will be capped at the cost of that.


“That in particular makes no sense,” said Howard Price. “The more non-compliant vehicles there are expected, the lower that suggests charges and, of course, their deterrent effect, will have to be. Conversely, the more successful schemes are, the less likely they will cover their costs.”


The CIEH is also disappointed that the Plan does not meet their previous calls to counter the growth in road traffic generally or to reverse the trend in diesel car use. There are also no moves to reverse the growth in Permitted Development Rights, giving councils back more control over planning, and, overall, the CIEH believes local authorities’ jobs are being made harder than they need be.


Howard Price added: “While deciding to apply legislation might help placate the European Commission, whether the new Air Quality Plan will actually bring compliance with NO2 limits and, as required, ‘as soon as possible’ remains open to question.”
