Fifth Edition of Eco Expo Asia to Focus on ‘Business Solutions to Climate Change’


The fifth edition of Eco Expo Asia will be held at the AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong from 3 - 6 November 2010. For the second consecutive year, the territory’s only trade fair dedicated to products and services for environmental protection has the total support of the Environment Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government, which will act once again as co-organiser of the event. The 2010 event will focus on ‘Business Solutions to Climate Change’, during which time effective solutions tackling the environmental challenges faced in Asia will be introduced. In addition, four main exhibit profiles will concentrate on Air Quality, Energy Efficiency & Energy, Waste Management & Recycling and Eco- friendly Product, plus, special areas for electric vehicles, green building and green technology have also been allocated. This, combined with the highly regarded concurrent Eco Asia Conference, featuring acclaimed environmental experts from around the world, highlights Hong Kong’s status as an international marketplace for innovative environmental technologies 2010 event to be held concurrently with C40 Conference. The 2010 edition of Eco Expo Asia will coincide with the city’s hosting of a C40 Conference on two key aspects of the climate change solutions: building energy efficiency and electric vehicles. The Conference will be held from 5 - 6 November, bringing together government officials and environmental experts from over 40 cities including commercial and non-governmental sectors to share their insight of the climate change solutions. Senior officials of the C40 cities, as well as key


officials from related Chinese mainland government departments, environmental professionals from business, civil society, academia and relevant local stakeholders will converge in Hong Kong to share valuable information. Eco Expo Asia is the ideal parallel platform to be appraised of the latest environmental technologies and meet with key industry players.

Linde Awarded Certification by Chinese Government for Supply of Calibration Gases to Help Support Environmental Monitoring and Pollution Control


Linde Gases announce it has been granted important GBW certification by the Chinese State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, approving Linde’s production of gas reference materials from its plant in Suzhou, Jiangsu province in eastern China. GBW is the official Chinese quality standards institute and their accreditation is a requirement for gas production facilities wishing to supply specialty calibration gas mixtures to both domestic and foreign-owned companies operating in China. This requirement is above and beyond any other ISO standards which may have been awarded, including those ISO standards for metrology. The plant will produce Linde’s HiQ®


high purity gases as well as HiQ®


control of combustion emissions for power generation, and will enable Linde to better support the growing emphasis being placed by China on tackling its CO2 “There is increased importance on pollution control, sustainability and regulatory requirements by the Chinese government and this has substantially increased domestic


gas mixtures for the calibration of measurement instrumentation for environmental monitoring purposes, including the detection and emissions.


demand for certified calibration gases,” said Zhu Min, Special Gases Business Manager, Linde China. “Linde’s Suzhou production facility will now make a valuable contribution to this.” To achieve the GBW certification, Linde made significant investment in plant operations through the appointment of both Chinese and expatriate scientists, engineers and other technical specialists, installation of best of breed laboratories and state-of-the-art gas filling facilities. Additionally, a specialised weighing device called a mass comparator was installed, capable of measuring the mass of a gas cylinder (approximately up to 401kg) with a resolution of 0.002g and repeatable to within 0.003g. To draw an analogy, this level of accuracy in measurement is the equivalent of a normal bathroom scales being able to determine if someone is holding a piece of paper or not. “Previously customers had limited options when sourcing measurement standards that met both Chinese and international standards. Now they can reliably purchase from


a reputable global manufacturer known for its production quality and highest available consistency across its specialty gases ranges,” said Stephen Harrison, Global Head of Specialty Gases and Specialty Equipment, Linde. “We are delighted that the Chinese authorities have formally recognised our efforts by awarding us the GBW certification.”

Award Winning Digital Mass Flow Meters Offers Highest Accuracy Yet Bronkhorst (UK) has introduced the latest Mass-Stream®


D-6300 series of digital mass flow meters and controllers for gases, which brings new levels of performance and


sophistication to direct inline measurement. Whilst remaining true to the proven through-flow measurement technology, the new design has more powerful digital processing capabilities, a modern graphic display with push-button control, improved accuracy and a greatly increased measuring range from 0.01 to 5000 Ln/min air-equivalent.


So impressive are the Mass-Stream D-6300 credentials that it won a category prize at this year's Golden Gas Awards, which are judged on the basis of technical


innovation and staged by international publication Gases & Instrumentation. Bronkhorst UK Managing Director, Andrew Mangell, picked up the award at PITTCON 2010 in Orlando, last month.


Mass-Stream D-6300 instruments are suitable for use in the analytical, environmental monitoring and effluent treatment industries with applications including dirty or wet


gases and those with a tendency to particulate. Measuring applications include biogas from landfill sites and digesters, dirty exhaust gases from combustion processes, analyser carrier, control and purge gas, calibration gas and produced gas from N2/O2 generators.


The model series extends from 0.01 – 0.2Ln/min at the lowest scale, to 100-5000 Ln/min at the highest range, with a turndown ratio of up to 1:100. Standard accuracy is ± 2%, with ± 1.5% available on request, and repeatability is better than ± 0.2%. They are available in aluminium or stainless steel for corrosive gases, and offer both an RS232 and analogue signals as standard in addition to optional Flow-Bus, Device Net, Profibus-DP and ModBus-RTU protocols.

Tiger Optics (USA) announce that Singapore’s National Metrology Centre (NMC) has selected the company’s LaserTrace Duo as a key component for its new gas laboratory.


Established in 1975, the NMC is the national measurement authority for the Republic of Singapore.


With its purchase, NMC joins a dozen other national metrology institutes that have turned to Tiger Optics since the company’s first sale in mid-2001. Many of the institutes are using Tiger instruments as a transfer standard to calibrate their own gas standards for research and industrial purposes. Some also rely on Tiger analysers in their research of such problems as acid rain and global warming. Tiger instruments are employed in the metrology institutes of China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, The Netherlands, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.


Tiger Optics holds exclusive rights to multiple, broad-based patents from Princeton University on the


field-proven technology known as Continuous Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CW-CRDS). The company’s instruments can detect down to low parts-per-trillion in a variety of gas matrices. The LaserTrace Duo met NMC’s demand for a multi-point, multi-species, multi-gas analyser capable of simultaneously measuring trace concentrations of moisture and oxygen in pure gases.
