Geotech (UK) customers requested, “Data storage and download with improved H2S analysis.” In response, Geotech upgraded its Biogas Check after its first three year’s successful in-field use. New features for the rapidly growing and developing anaerobic digestion (AD)
biogas market, include an internal H2S gas analysis cell to replace an external plug-in pod and an improved H2S measurement range because of the high level of H2S some AD operators are experiencing. Data storage and download functions are now standard with optional download software. New product highlights from gas-analysis specialist manufacturer, Geotech for the Biogas Check, include:
Higher H2S range up to 10,000ppm from 5,000ppm now an internal gas analysis cell; Data storage and download for importing gas analysis data into a spreadsheet; Geotech’s new optional GAMBIO download software and Free data storage and download upgrade to all
existing Biogas Check units at time of back-to-factory service and calibration. All are available now on this ATEX certified biogas analyser. Used with farm waste, food waste, wastewater AD and methane recovery, the Biogas Check measures biogas concentrations of CH4,
CO2, O2 and H2S and biogas flow very accurately and very adequately for carbon credit trading with CDM projects. The new data storage and download capability enables consistent collection of data for improved analysis and more accurate reporting and analysis. With field-
proven technology, the easy-to-use Biogas Check has user-configurable operation, easy user field calibration and interchangeable filters. The Geotech Biogas Check measures differential and barometric pressures, reads gas temperature with optional temperature probe, calculates balance gas and measures gas flow
with range of external devices including an anemometer, flow pod or Pitot tube. With the CH4 concentration and biogas flow data the Biogas Check helps AD operators assess the total output and yield of methane. It can also help check that the digester process is running efficiently.

New Advanced Portable Multi-Gas Detector
MSA (Germany) is proud to present the next level of advanced technology in portable gas detection: The ALTAIR 4X multi-gas detector with MSA XCell Sensor Technology. The ALTAIR 4X is a reliable multi-gas detector
that measures O2, H2S, CO and combustible gas. A rugged housing provides unsurpassed durability, including the ability to withstand a 6 m drop test onto concrete. And with large, glove-friendly buttons and a high-contrast
display, the ALTAIR 4X is easy to operate in any work environment, even in low- light conditions.
Exclusive safety features like the optional glow-in-the-dark case, standard. MotionAlert and InstantAlert make the ALTAIR 4X ideal for applications like confined space entry. Toughness and durability aren’t the whole story. The real strength of the new ALTAIR 4X comes from the new MSA XCell Sensor Technology.
Superior stability, accuracy, repeatability and fast response characterise the new MSA XCell sensors. They are remarkably long-lasting and designed for an average life of more than four years. An end-of-sensor-life indicator gives advanced warning to user, eliminating service outages. Micro-electronics inside the sensor lead to faster response and calibration times. The ALTAIR 4X is the first of the ALTAIR family to come with the new MSA XCell Sensor Technology.
For further information about the new ALTAIR 4X please contact your local MSA representative or visit our website:

Open Path Gas Detectors Receive CSA & BASEEFA Hazardous Area Certification
Senscient (USA) received two certifications this June for its ELDS Open Path Gas Detectors (OPGD) in potentially explosive or hazardous environments. Both CSA and BASEEFA certificates apply to ELDS 2000 and 1000 Series detector transmitter and receiver units.
The Certificate of Compliance from independent product testing and certification organization CSA International certifies the Senscient line of ELDS Open Path Gas Detectors (OPGD) for use in hazardous locations in the US and Canada. This CSA certificate assures compliance to CSA and UL standards for hazardous locations/zones and product safety. The BASEEFA 10ATEX0066X certification covers the same ELDS detectors for use in "potentially explosive atmospheres" for ATEX (Europe).
ELDS is designed to provide new levels of plant safety and risk reduction in offshore platforms, FPSOs, onshore petrochemical facilities and refineries in addition to other industries with toxic or flammable gas hazards. The CSA North America and BASEEFA ATEX certification are the latest in a string of independent third party certifications covering product safety, use, application, and manufacturing.
Previously, Senscient ELDS Open Path Gas Detectors received both the FM Global and FM ATEX
International Performance Certification that ensures ELDS open path gas detectors are capable of detecting hazardous gases over a specified line of sight coverage to
LEL.meter standards, and triggering isolated multi-channel analogue output signals to a remote Safety PLC. With completion of these two Performance Standards, the new ELDS OPGD became the FIRST and ONLY laser-based open path gas detector line to be certified to the highly challenging international Performance Approval Standards, clearing the way for ELDS use in systems requiring Safety Integrity Level (SIL) compliance around the world.
