12 Gas Detection Flare gas measurement specialists secure Best Business Award


Fluenta, a global leader in ultrasonic fl are gas measurement for the oil and gas, LNG, and petrochemical and chemical processing industries, was announced last month as the UK’s Best Innovation category winner at the 2021 Best Business Awards. Fluenta’s FlarePhaseTM transducers, which launched in 2021, were recognised as the innovation of the year, setting the standard for accurate ultrasonic fl are gas measurement. The Best Business Awards are one of the UK’s highest-profi le awards. They pride themselves on having a large panel of independent expert judges who select winners according to strict criteria for each category and sector.


Commenting on Fluenta’s win, the chairman of the judges said: “Following the introduction of its ground-breaking ultrasonic sensing technology for measuring gas fl are, Fluenta Solutions has become a leader and disruptor in its market. Congratulations to Fluenta Solutions for taking ultrasonic sensing technology to the next level and improving safety and profi tability for the oil and gas industry.”


Upon receiving the Award, Julian Dudley-Smith, Fluenta’s Director, said: “we’re delighted to be recognised as an innovative business. Flare gas measurement has been our sole focus for over 35 years. We’re dedicated to helping operators not only exceed the regulatory requirements across the world but also enable them to champion revolutionary decarbonisation plans fi t for the time of crisis we live in and contribute to achieving net-zero goals.” The Best Business Awards’ high profi le attracts many entries from all sectors, from large international PLCs and public sector organisations to dynamic and innovative SMEs. The winners all have one thing in common – they are truly outstanding at what they do.

has emerged recently, offering extra-long distance detection capacities. The Gazoscan, manufactured by Gazomat is an instrument capable of detecting methane up to 100m. This opens up new perspectives in the fi eld of natural gas pipeline network monitoring, as illustrated in the following example.

This case relates to a conventional gas distribution network inspection conducted from a mobile leak survey vehicle. The scheduled route includes a bridge over a river where the pipeline crosses underground. Running at a distance of approximately 50m from the bridge, that part of the network is listed as non-accessible and non-surveyable. Driving over the bridge, the survey technician decides to test the laser-based Gazoscan detector. Standing right at the centre of the bridge, he points the laser beam towards the water surface and scans the area between both river banks. As it reaches the middle of the river, the Gazoscan’s alarm sets off powerfully. On the device screen, the reading displayed in ppm/m corresponds to a methane concentration almost 50 times above the levels usually encountered by the operator.


To make sure, the somewhat taken aback technician shoots again with the Gazoscan. Readings however do remain at the same high level. The gas leak detected IS really signifi cant, and yet there are no visible signs in the area - no burnt grass, no dead fi sh, no gas bubbling up to the water surface. Looking carefully, he identifi es gas pipeline markers indicating the presence of a transmission pipeline. Alerted, the services in charge of the transmission network and of the distribution network must urgently determine the leak source. As a fi rst step, the service pressure in the distribution pipeline section is modifi ed and measures taken using the Gazoscan from the bridge. The results quickly show the leak originates from the distribution network. Major repair works are scheduled, comprised of (trenchless) directional drilling over a 2 km distance and the replacement of the leaky pipeline section running under the river bed.


As to the technician involved, he freely admits he will never forget the experience that showed him all the benefi ts and potential of this type of detectors. As he says, ‘the devices are so easy to use and so quick to start up. Wherever pipelines or installations are hard to access, they simply make fi eld inspections easier and more exhaustive, while allowing to keep safe distances’.


Atex and IECEx certifi ed, the methane detector offers an extended range of application in a variety of industries.

Methane detection made easy with extra long distance detector A new generation of methane selective portable detectors


Delivering excellence in benzene monitoring instrumentation for the chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries


Monitoring benzene exposure levels is critical for the health and wellbeing of staff and the public who may encounter this group one carcinogen. While benzene has many useful and practical applications in industries, the risk to health is undeniable and requires exact and precise monitoring to mitigate damage. Having accurate and dedicated monitoring instrumentation specifi cally for


managing the risk of benzene is essential for any business that works with this chemical.


As benzene is both widespread in industrial applications and poses a signifi cant risk to health, there is pressure from public health and industrial safety perspectives on making sure it is managed and monitored properly. The most effective way of minimising exposure to benzene is through appropriate safety and monitoring practices. Using PID (photoionisation detection) instruments from ION Science is an excellent way of protecting against potential hazards.


ION Science has a dedicated range of instruments specifi cally designed for monitoring benzene. As a compound that poses a range of long- and short-term health risks associated with exposure, having instruments that can monitor wherever staff are working and in areas where there is potential for public or environmental exposure is key.


For protecting individual staff, ION Science offers the Cub TAC (total aromatic compound) 10.0 eV personal benzene gas monitor. This personal monitoring solution is worn within the breathing zone on the person, allowing individual monitoring of exposure levels to be exact. Equipped with audio and visual alarms when exposure goes beyond pre-set levels, the Cub TAC is designed to keep workers safe in all situations. Data can be uploaded for review by the site occupational hygienist or health and safety offi cer, so any exposures that pose a risk can be quickly addressed and dealt with.


The Titan fi xed benzene specifi c gas monitor is a standalone unit that can be fi tted around sites, factories, and storage units. This is particularly useful for monitoring benzene, as one of the highest risk factors in benzene exposure is related to the storage and distribution of petrol and petroleum-based products. Benzene can also be found on sites such as oil refi neries and foundries, which are often large and not necessarily always monitored in person. The Titan fi xed unit is wall mounted and samples air every minute, providing an accurate readout of benzene air concentrations within just 60 seconds. With a dynamic detection range, the Titan is designed to monitor for benzene at just 0.1 ppm concentration levels, keeping staff as safe as possible when in proximity.


Where portable detection is essential, ION Science offer the Tiger Select portable benzene gas detector. Ideal for use around sites and for checking levels while working, the Tiger Select keeps staff safe as well as monitoring air levels and concentrations for health and safety purposes. With both 15-minute short term exposure limits and 8 hour time weighted averages, the Tiger Select makes it possible to monitor exposure risks at all levels and throughout the day.


What really makes ION Science’s range of benzene specifi c instruments valuable to the customer is the fast lead times available on the majority of products. ION Science is proud to offer delivery time turnaround of days, not weeks, and in some cases, it may even be possible to have products arriving to customers within 24 hours.


With a global network of suppliers, distributors and offi ces, ION Science boasts superior supply chains to get products where they need to be. Whether customers have an immediate need, such as a suspected leak or impending legislation change, or a long-term commitment to improving environmental and public health, choosing from ION Science’s range of benzene detection instruments means products can be on site in some of the fastest lead times available.
