28 Air Monitoring Dates Announced for Methane Emissions Conference


The organisers of the Industrial Methane Emissions Conference have announced that this year’s event will take place alongside PEFTEC 2017 in Antwerp on 29th and 30th November. “By running both Conferences at the same time and in the same place, we will provide delegates with an opportunity to visit the PEFTEC Exhibition which will feature many of the technologies being discussed at both events,” says Scientific Committee Chair Rod Robinson from NPL.


The Industrial Methane Measurement Conference 2017 will put a spotlight onto industry requirements in an increasingly regulated post ‘Paris Agreement’ world. Leading experts will discuss latest field studies and policy developments alongside showcasing cutting edge methods and novel technologies for monitoring fugitive methane emissions including leak detection, identification and quantification as well as long term monitoring.


The key themes of the conference will include: an examination of anthropogenic methane emission sources; the assessment of uncontrolled and controlled emissions; current measurement methods, including case studies; relevant international regulations and drivers; industry needs; quality assurance and validation; the interpretation of measurements, and an evaluation of emerging technologies.


The conference themes were chosen by the event’s scientific committee which includes internationally respected academics and researchers from NPL (UK), Environmental Defense Fund (USA), Royal Holloway University of London, DBFZ (Germany), Sigma Space Corporation (USA) and TOTAL (France).


Methane is an important Greenhouse Gas, absorbing significantly more energy than carbon dioxide for example, so it performs a major role in global warming. However, the persistence of methane in the atmosphere is much shorter than carbon dioxide, so initiatives to lower methane emissions are likely to be effective more quickly. “It is therefore vital that methane emissions are measured accurately and reliably,” says Rod Robinson. “International treaties to combat climate change rely on the quality of emissions data, and amendments to prior estimates can have enormous ramifications for industries such as oil, gas, waste management and agriculture.


“Reliable data are also required to inform decision making in the energy sector because different energy sources cause different levels of methane emissions. Methane is also an important component of many fuels, so it is a valuable resource that must be monitored accurately and effectively to avoid wastage and improve efficiency.

“Conveniently, the PEFTEC exhibition will provide delegates from both Conferences with an opportunity to see the latest technologies for monitoring methane in fugitive, vented and partially combusted emissions from the world’s leading test and measurement equipment manufacturers.”

Measurement technology manufacturer Lufft announced the official launch of the VS20k. This is the first Lufft visibility sensor on the market that can measure at distances of up to 20 kilometers, thus making it particularly suitable for meteorological applications or airport monitoring. It’s an addition to the Lufft VS2k visibility sensor with a range of 2 km. The right technology to measure reduced visibility Air saturated with water particles, fine dust, or sand can lead to reduced visibility - a risk factor that all too frequently leads to road and air traffic accidents. Between 2011 and 2015, there were 3,277 accidents on German highways, with 107 of the 3,686 people injured killed.1

Lufft’s VS2k and VS20k sensors ensure greater safety on the roads and warn of emergent poor visibility conditions. Both sensors detect visibility at ranges of up to two or 20 kilometers respectively by using measuring reflectance in accordance with the 45° forward scattering principle and deliver updated results every minute. A maximum reading means that the visibility is clear.

Since meteorological services and airports require reliable sensors with a particularly large measuring range, Lufft has created the VS20k visibility sensor with a measurement range of up to 20 km. It complements the VS2k sensor which measures up to two km. The two sensors are based on the same measuring technique and only differ in terms of certain hardware components and the firmware. Both the VS2k and the VS20k are low-maintenance. This is due to the anodized and seawater- resistant housing offering IP66-class protection. An intelligent self-monitoring function detects and reports dirt on the lens. The electronics’ automatic zero-point calibration also helps to reduce maintenance intervals. Lufft offers a suitable calibration kit for further on-site calibration measures. The Lufft UMB visibility sensors can connect with the measurement network via RS485 halfduplex 2-wire and SDI-12 interface.

or process applications where there is insufficient pressure at the sample point. A diaphragm-type pump has long been considered the industry standard for these applications, due to its versatility to handle both pressure and vacuum, as well as its contamination-free nature. Air Dimensions, Inc. (ADI) is pleased to introduce its new M-Series Dia-Vac pump with Zone II ATEX certification. The small, yet durable diaphragm pump is ideal for hazardous gas sampling applications where corrosion resistance and durability to aggressive media are paramount. With performance ranges from 3-20 LPM, 0-250 torrA, and 0-2 barG; this small pump provides substantial punch for its size.

In these tough, continuous applications where downtime is unacceptable; it is imperative that the sample pump is properly sized for the requirements. Oversizing the pump or simply choosing from a small selection in a catalog, leads to a “one-size-fits-all” approach. At Air Dimensions, engineers tailor the pump to suite your actual pump parameters. Engineering the pump to match requirements, leads to less downtime, quieter operation, and simpler sample system design.


With over 3,500 pump options; ADI can meet your gas sampling requirements quickly, easily, and affordably. Standard shipments are within 1 week.
