With political and media activity approaching fever pitch on the subject of air pollution, the role of monitoring is under more scrutiny than ever, so AQE 2018, the Air Quality & Emissions event (Telford, UK 21 and 22 November), is set to be the busiest yet. Registration is now open at
www.AQEShow.com and all pre-
registered visitors will benefit from free parking, refreshments and lunch, in addition to free entry to WWEM 2018, the co-located water and wastewater monitoring event. Both events include a major international exhibition offering access to the latest technologies from the world’s leading brands in testing and monitoring. In total there will be almost 200 exhibition stands representing over 300 world-leading organisations. There are charges for attending some of the conferences, but entry to the exhibitions and workshops is free. AQE 2018 will include a comprehensive technical programme of
conferences, seminars and workshops. For example, the STA (Source Testing Association) will run a conference on the first day, Wednesday 21 November, focusing on the Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD), which will come into force on 20 December 2018, and affect over 30,000 plants in the UK, such as generators and incinerators. Ambient air
quality will be the focus of a conference organised by IAPSC (Investigation of Air Pollution Standing Committee) on the second day. The main themes of this conference will be: sensor-based air quality monitoring techniques; engaging the public with air quality; and green infrastructure and its potential role in LAQM. Seeking ways to improve urban air quality, the Environmental Industries
Commission (EIC) will host a one-day seminar on 21 November focusing on the development of Clean Air Zones (CAZs), and the Renewable Energy Association (REA) will also host a seminar at the event. Workshops will run throughout both days, offering visitors the opportunity
to learn more about the latest methods and technologies on show. With so much to choose from visitors are being urged to register
early at
www.AQEshow.com and to plan their visit in advance. AQE

BEKA associates have introduced a new accessory which provides impact and IP66 ingress protection for the rear of their panel mounting 96mm x 48mm instruments and their 60mm x 105mm rugged stainless steel panel instruments. The kit allows the extensive range of BEKA panel mounting loop powered indicators, rate totalisers, counters, timers and tachometers to be safely mounted in an open panel, or within a cubicle which may accumulate condensate, or be subjected to mechanical damage. The BA495 rear cover is manufactured from 1.5mm thick 316 stainless steel with a silicone sealing gasket. It has two M20 entries for cable glands, one of which is supplied fitted with an IP66 removable blanking plug. The kit has been ingress tested by a UKAS accredited testing laboratory to confirm that it provides IP66 protection for the rear of the instrument. All BEKA panel mounting instruments have IP66 front of panel protection and are supplied with a gasket which seals the joint between the instrument and the panel in which it is installed. For further information including datasheets and ingress
certificates please visit

TRULY SMART GAS FLUE MEASUREMEnT
The new testo 300 flue gas analyser combines intuitive touch-operation with robust construction and highly efficient documentation. The most conspicuous feature of the
new testo 300 is the large 5” Smart-Touch display. It allows especially intuitive operation – just like a smartphone. All measurement values can be seen on its 5” HD display as graphs, or table. Clearly structured menus for all applications involving heating systems are stored in the testo 300, including the following measurements, among others: Flue gas,
draught, ambient CO, differential pressure, and O2 air input. Measurement reports containing all information on measurement values,
customers addresses, and site details can be created directly on site with the testo 300. It is also possible for the user to include their own comments. The customer confirms the work of the technician with an electronic signature directly on the touchscreen of the testo 300. You can send reports to the office or customers straight away via wireless LAN. They are also stored in the instrument for archive purposes. Kits using testo long-life sensor technology together with automatic
dilution of measured flue gas allow measurements up to 30,000 ppm CO without instrument damage. Another benefit of the long-life sensors is an expected working lifespan of six years which compared to other analysers can save the cost of a set of sensors across a typical five year working life.
