New Gas Analysers for Hazardous Areas
The new gas analyser series EL3060 unifies ABB measuring techniques with many years of competence in continuous monitoring of gases for hazardous areas. The completely flame-proof housing fulfills all the requirements of Category II 2G and due to its high safety standards can be used in plants with potentially explosive gas atmospheres of Zone 1 and Zone 2. The series EL3060 is convincingly compactly built. The paramagnetic oxygen and thermal conductivity analysers have been dramatically reduced in size and can therefore be integrated into the housing of the control unit. The Infrared Photometer is built into its own flameproof housing. This assures the possibility to make use of all the available options.
The paramagnetic oxygen Analyser Magnos206, as well as the thermal conductivity analysers Caldos27 and Caldos25, can be combined with the Infrared Photometer Uras26. This means that complex measuring require-ments measuring up to five components with one device, using one control unit and one indicating device, is possible. The control unit is equipped with a separate terminal box which is completely protected. This way the customer can safely and easily connect flexible signal lines for analog and digital output, Profibus or Modbus, as well as status signals, without compromising the hazardous area protection. The multi- lingual, menu driven operating interface enables the analyser to be intuitively operated. The menu structure is consistent for all the Analysers and is equivalent to the approved EasyLine series. Touch Keys are actuated through an explosion-proof glass pane. This makes the operation safe and continually reliable without the housing having to be opened. ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 115,000 people.

Continuous Fine Dust Measuring System
The DustMonit from Con.Tec Engineering (Italy) is a complete system for continuous monitoring of particulate concentration in the air. This DustMonit has been designed for making reliable continuous mea surements without the presence of operators. This unit can be used in air pollution monitoring networks, in mobile laboratories, in places you need in a particular time a particulate concentration measurement. The met - hodology used by DustMonit for detecting particles in the air and for classifying them depending on their dimensions is ‘Laser Scattering’. The DustMonit is an instrument for: Measuring in real time and simu - ltaneously the dust concentrations expressed as PM10 - PM2.5 - PM1 without utilising external impactors. It also measures in real time and simultaneously the dust concentrations expressed as Inhalable - Thoracic - Respirable (as described in EN 481) without utilising external impactors.

New Zero Air Generator for Air Quality Monitoring Systems Launched
Casella Monitor (UK) introduces a time and cost-saving original product to its range of ambient monitoring equipment. Its new, cartridge-based, ZeroGen zero air generator removes the need for zero calibration gas cylinders when performing calibration checks on ambient air gas analyser systems.
The cartridges are designed to be easily replaced each year, saving considerable time and expense compared to the use of traditional zero calibration cylinders. Gary Noakes, Product Manager at Casella Monitor, said: "Operators of Air Quality Monitoring stations will benefit from reduced operating costs, and achieve a higher accuracy of data with the installation of the ZeroGen. "The Zerogen scrubs the incoming ambient air and produces a purer true zero gas for calibration without all the complications and mechanics of transporting and installing zero calibration gas cylinders."

New US EPA Approved Gas Analyser Series from Ecotech
Ecotech, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of environmental monitoring equipment, is pleased to announce US EPA approval for its new Serinus gas analyser range. According to Ecotech’s General Manager, Nicholas Dal Sasso, the approvals are a vital step in the global launch of the new product line. “We are pleased to obtain U.S. EPA approval for the entire range of Serinus gas analysers,” said Mr. Dal Sasso. “We are confident that the Serinus will give customers the performance they need, with Ecotech’s proven reliability, but at a much lower total cost of ownership.”
The Serinus series includes the following: Model
Serinus 10 Serinus 30 Serinus 40 Serinus 50
Parameter Ozone (O3
) Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Oxides of Nitrogen (NO, NO2 Sulfur Dioxide (SO2
) , NOX )
US EPA designation # EQOA–0809–187 RFCA–0509–174 RFNA–0809–186 EQSA–0809–188
Further specialist models, including precursor trace gas analysers, will be progressively rele - ased from 2010 onwards.
The Serinus series ambient gas analyser derives its name from the genus (group) of the canary, which was the first effective ‘method’ used to detect harmful gases in coalmines. Just as the humble canary helped protect the
health of early coal miners, so too will the new gas analysers play their part in helping deliver a cleaner, safer, healthier global environment.
