Climate Agreement Also Offers Companies Short-Term Benefi ts


Innovatively Designed Gas Sampling Equipment Ensures Maximum Reliability


Ankersmid Sampling BVBA (Belgium), a family-owned company, is the manufacturing Division of Ankersmid-M&C and based with the full production and administration in a brand-new building, designed and constructed according to the specifi c requirements of a manufacturing high-tech company. Ankersmid is located in Wilrijk/Belgium.


Subsidiaries in several countries (Netherlands, France, China, Romania, Korea, Germany etc.) as well as a world-wide network of distributors with highly-qualifi ed employees assures Ankersmid-M&C for more than 30 years now a leading position in the fi eld of gas sampling and gas conditioning as well as laboratory equipment.


Using the latest technologies and innovative designs guarantees reliable products for all kinds of pollution/exhaust/waste/CEM applications such as CEM (continuous emission monitoring), Pollution control, Environmental measurement, Incinerator, Crematory, Furnace, DENOX, Refi nery (gas/oil), Waste dump, Silo monitoring, Tunnel ambient air monitoring, Steel industry, Chemical & Petro- chemical industry, University, Car industry (special fi lter for motor/engine test stands), Coal bunker and many more.


Ankersmid Sampling’s portable products are f. e. used by and very popular at stack testing companies and monitoring/certifying institutes. Ankersmid Sampling are always looking to extend their existing global sales network by new distributors.


By the year 2100, earth may be warmed by no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. That is what world leaders agreed upon at the COP21 climate conference. The fi rst evaluation moment is in 2023. One of the criticisms of the plans is that the focus is very far into the future. That makes the need for companies and governments to prepare for any changes less urgent. Wouter Last, president of Dutch plant IT and engineering specialist Hint therefore argues for a short-term perspective on the climate agreement. “The industry should focus on the benefi ts and economic gains we can already achieve in the next few years.”


Global warming must be stopped by reducing the emission of greenhouse gases around the world. Wouter Last: “It is natural that internationally applicable requirements and rules for CO2


,


NOx and SOx emissions will be implemented, both for the industry and individual countries. These rules and requirements focus on a very gradual reduction, taking decades to reach its fi nal objective. But in the meantime, businesses may already benefi t from the new rules. New markets will emerge for products and services that can support the industry in their sustainability plans. As a company, you can respond to this and make it profi table soon.”


One example, according to Last, is the new market that will emerge for measuring and analyzing emissions at factories and plants. “Because we all have to comply with strict emission requirements, a lot will need to be measured. The market involved in this will strongly develop in the coming years. Currently, measuring methods are not optimal yet and we often don’t know exactly which gases are being emitted and in what quantities. Systems to analyze gases, such as pressure, temperature, composition, make it possible to collect relevant data on emissions.”


Much of the required technology already exists, Last says. “The software that we need is already developed, but is now still being used for other applications. With a few small tweaks, you’ll come a long way in transforming the functionalities. In my view, the market for this will be gigantic, because the new standards need to be met worldwide by everyone. So, there’s a lot of work in store for plant IT and engineering specialists, provided that they act quickly.”


Worldwide, greenhouse gas emission levels must be down by 40 percent in 2100, compared to the 1990 levels. For many businesses and citizens, it is diffi cult to oversee such a long term. This reduces the sense of urgency to take sustainable measures. Last: “Plans for the next fi ve or ten years are a lot better to oversee than objectives that are 85 years in the future, which has the advantage of making it easier to convince entrepreneurs and citizens of the importance of sustainability. In the wake of this, there will be the need to develop sustainable technology. I see plenty of business opportunities arising from the new climate agreement.”

CEM 2016 Conference Programme Announced


For More Info, email: email:


The organisers of CEM 2016, the international emissions monitoring event, have published details of the conference that will run over three days in Lisbon from 18th to 20th May. Featuring speakers from 13 countries there will be 48 presentations within seven main themes: Regulation Standards and Quality, Predictive Emission Monitoring, Innovative Measurement Technology, Fine Particulate Monitoring, Mercury and other Trace Metals, Fugitive Emissions, and Industrial Case Studies.


For More Info, email: email:


The Conference presentations will address a wide range of testing and monitoring issues covering the latest international regulations, standards, methods and technologies in applications such as power stations, waste incineration, laboratory analysis, ship emissions and the Maritime Directive, biofuels, coal and biomass fi red boilers, hazardous waste incineration, cement plants, chlor-alkali plants and landfi ll emissions.


CEM 2016 organiser Marcus Pattison believes that the CEM 2016 Conference is particularly well timed. “The emissions reduction targets agreed by 195 nations at COP21 in Paris will place a growing emphasis on the accuracy and reliability of monitoring at a time when, thanks to Volkswagen, public understanding of air pollution issues has never been greater. The automotive industry is keen to highlight the signifi cance of industrial emissions, so it is vital that industry continues to provide ‘real-world’ data that can be trusted.


“According to the World Health Organisation, in 2012 air pollution was responsible for 3.7 million deaths, representing 6.7% of total deaths. This pollution caused about 16% of lung cancer deaths, 11% of pulmonary disease deaths and more than 20% of deaths from heart disease and strokes. Air pollution is the single largest environmental health risk in Europe; responsible for more than 430,000 premature deaths every year.”


CEM 2016 is the 12th in a series of international events focusing on emissions monitoring. In addition to the CEM Conference, there will also be a Poster Display of research projects and an Exhibition featuring over 50 of the world’s leading monitoring instrumentation and service providers.


CEM 2016 abstracts for all of the presentations are available at on the website, and earlybird registration will be available until 15th April. 37430pr@reply-direct.com


Tablet PC Based Environmental Test Meter Kits


For More Info, email: email:


GrayWolf Sensing Solutions (USA), introduces new multi-parameter air measurement kits that include 7”, 8” or 10” tablet PCs to meet lower cost DirectSense IAQ, TVOC, TOX, HVAC and AIR applications. Use these WIN 8.1 tablets for portable display of measurements, “snap-shot” data-logs and/or long-term trend logging. Connect a single probe, incorporating 1 up to 6 sensors, into the USB connector or multiple probes may be connected simultaneously, with a USB hub. All of these tablets come with cameras that enable direct attachment of photos and videos to data fi les, on-site. Their microphones allow audio note attachment for highly effi cient and reliable documentation of fi eld surveys. The included WiFi card empowers optional GrayWolfLive cloud software for remote access to logged fi les, and optional remote alerts/alarms. DirectSense TAB kits also come with GrayWolf branded accessories; a protective pouch with hand strap/stand/neck strap (for 8” and 10” versions), probe adapters, hard-shell security case, capacitive stylus and more. GrayWolf probes may be used cross-platform (tablets, GrayWolf’s rugged, purpose-built AdvancedSense meters, GrayWolf’s WolfPack area monitors and/or WIN XP/7/8 laptop PCs).

When it comes to environmental measurements for applications such as indoor air quality (IAQ) assessment, worker exposure monitoring or general HVAC testing, appropriate sensor technology is crucial. Multiple sensors may be connected to the DirectSense tablets (up to 32 simultaneously). Measure your choice of TVOCs, Carbon Dioxide (for ventilation assessment), Particulates, Air Velocity, %RH, °C/°F and specifi c gases (such as Ozone, Formaldehyde, Carbon Monoxide, Ammonia, NO2


, NO, H2
