22 Water / Wastewater Northern Ireland Water selects wearable gas monitors


to keep workers connected in real time – even underground Northern Ireland Water (NI Water) has purchased more than 700 connected wearable devices by leading safety technology provider Blackline Safety Corp. for its frontline workers.


The devices – Blackline Safety’s G7c wearable cloud-connected multi-gas monitors, with integrated cellular connectivity and location technology – provide NI Water with the unprecedented ability to detect the presence of hazardous gases and obtain gas readings in real-time, with built-in two-way communication, even deep underground. “NI Water’s priority is the safety and well-being of our staff, and while we operate to high industry safety standards, we are always seeking new technology and innovative solutions to increase safety and eliminate potential risks,” said Jason Devine, Senior Technical Trainer of NI Water. “The real-time visibility provided by the Blackline devices – combined with GPS location, messaging and indoor location compatible capabilities – were key features to augment safety across our organisation.”


G7c is the world’s fi rst 3G-connected gas detector with integrated, as-it-happens lone worker monitoring and evacuation management tools. Fully scalable and supported by Blackline Live, Blackline Safety’s powerful, cloud-connected monitoring and data analytics platform, the technology enables organisations to view in real-time all their workers’ locations and gas readings in the fi eld and confi gure their devices, from any Internet-connected smartphone, tablet or computer, no matter how remote the location.


The devices automatically watch over workers and call for help when needed. Should a gas leak, fall or a no-motion incident be detected, assisted GPS capability guides responders directly to the worker’s location. G7c provides full-view insights for optimised emergency responses, enabling teams to react with all the information necessary for rescues in complex, hazardous environments.


Water Quality Pocket


Testers as Accurate as Lab Myron L®


offers a variety of ULTRAPEN™ pocket testers, each featuring simultaneous measurement of Temperature and one critical parameter: PT1 and PTBT1 measure Conductivity, TDS, and Salinity; PT2 and PTBT2 measure pH; PT3 and PTBT3 measure ORP; PT4 and PTBT4 measure Free Chlorine Equivalent (FCE


); PT5 and PTBT5 measure Dissolved Oxygen (DO); PT6 and PTBT6 measure Nitrate.


PT1 and PTBT1 instruments are engineered with a proprietary conductivity cell that delivers accuracy of ±1% of reading and ±0.2% of reading at calibration point.


PT2 and PTBT2 instruments employ a proprietary sensor with a large KCl reservoir for extended life. The user can choose to perform a 1-, 2-, or 3-point calibration. Accuracy is ±.01 pH.


PT3 and PTBT3 proprietary sensors are constructed of a 99.9% pure platinum electrode. There are 3 calibration options with automatic solution recognition. Measurement accuracy is ±10mV.


PT4 and PTBT4 determine the chemical activity of a solution without the hassle and subjectivity of colorimetric and test-strip methods. These instruments feature a proprietary sensor and accuracy of up to±0.3 ppm FCE


™.


PT5 and PTBT5 instruments are accurate to ± 2% of reading with 3 calibration methods: Water Saturated Air; Air Saturated Water; and 0 ppm DO. Readings are adjustable for altitude and salinity and display in concentration, % saturation, or both.


PT6 and PTBT6 measurement method is compatible with EPA Approved Standard Method 4500-NO3— D. The user can select either a 1- or 2-point calibration option and choose from one of 4 standard solutions depending on the application. Readings display as Nitrate, Nitrogen, or mV.


pH, ORP, FCE, DO, and Nitrate sensors are all user replaceable.


Original PT Series instruments feature one-button programmability, measurements, and calibration while the new PTBT Series pairs with most Android™ or iPhone®


Bluetooth® enabled devices allowing the user to control settings, measurements,


calibrations, and data reporting tools from the PTBTX2™ mobile application. Later, the user can email data in .csv, .xls, .xlsx, or Myron L Company’s proprietary encrypted format, .mlcx, compatible with Guardian2 software.


All ULTRAPENS are compact, lightweight, dust-tight, and waterproof with fully encapsulated electronics and bodies of rugged aircraft aluminum.

“Our devices deliver layers of protection to ensure a critical lifeline in the event of an emergency,” said Simon Rich, Sales Director – Europe of Blackline Safety. “What’s more, this advanced technology not only allows organisations to actually see what’s happening in the fi eld in real-time so they can gain a better understanding of safety situations facing workers in the moment, but it also gives them the ability to analyse incident responses, identify areas for improvement, and predict what might happen in the future.”

Chlorine generation – a simple and reliable

overcomes the traditional diffi culties associated with handling Chlorine gas cylinders, such as problematic accuracy and erratic shelf life.


For More Info, email: email:


The rugged, portable and battery-operated tool is designed for use in a wide range of industries, including the water treatment sector, where personnel face the challenges of testing and calibration. The GazCal comes in a robust and compact carrying case and allows for rapid testing and calibration with negligible warm-up time. This simple-to-use device can be operated by anyone, requiring only the necessary PPM level to be set via the unit’s dial-up digital display.


The GazCal generates Cl2 F2


20 ppm and is also suitable for use as a surrogate for the cross-calibration of O3


, COCl2 , HF and


. Its design overcomes the problem of short shelf life. The cell life is only used up when the unit is in operation, while traditional cylinders can simply die out before 6 months. The generator can last for up to a decade, often without the need to change the cell and requiring only a yearly recertifi cation of calibration.


The GazCal cell can operate for up to 500 parts per million (ppm) hours, which is equivalent to a continuous usage of 100 hours at a concentration level of 5ppm. This extended lifespan allows for a minimum of 400 calibrations to be conducted. The device includes a cell life indicator that displays the remaining life of the generating cell, enabling operators to plan ahead. Installing a new generating cell is a simple process once the current cell has been depleted. Although the GazCal generator may have a higher initial cost compared to a small cylinder, it is a more cost- effective option in the long run.


Also, unlike gas cylinders, which only attain one specifi c concentration per cylinder purchased, the GazCal is entirely adjustable between the 0.5ppm to 20.0ppm range and in 0.1ppm steps. The GazCal produces many different concentration levels from one device. In addition, low concentrations of Cl2

the GazCal, even 1ppm and 2ppm levels, whereas it is extremely problematic to achieve cylinder stability at low concentration levels.
