FCI Model ST75V Flow Meter
18 February, 2016With its no-moving-parts thermal dispersion mass flow sensing element, a solar-powerable FCI Model ST75V Flow Meter with built-in Vortab flow conditioner provides direct mass flow measurement of a gas site without the additional equipment required with other flow measurement technologies.
Emerson Rosemount 5708 Series 3D Solids Scanner
22 January, 2016The Rosemount 5708 Series 3D Solids Scanner, which uses acoustic measurement and 3D mapping technology to provide continuous level and volume measurement, is now suitable for a broader range of applications.
Detecting nitrogen dioxide
28 October, 2015Australian and Chinese researchers have developed a low-cost and reliable method of detecting nitrogen dioxide (NO2) — an air pollutant that contributes to more than seven million deaths worldwide each year.
Emerson Roxar Corrosion Monitoring System
27 October, 2015The Roxar Corrosion Monitoring system, consisting of wireless-based probes, will provide refineries with flexible, responsive and integrated corrosion monitoring. Combined with the Emerson's Field Signature Method (FSM) technology, a non-intrusive system for monitoring internal corrosion at the pipewall, refinery operators will be able to access more comprehensive corrosion information and corrosion rates.
FCI ST75 Air/Gas Flow Meter for biomass gasification plants
12 October, 2015Process engineers responsible for managing biomass gasification plants will find the ST75 Series Air/Gas Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) operates in hot, wet, dirty environments to provide measurement of mixed composition gases, including hydrogen, carbon monoxide and trace methane.
Remote wireless monitoring of landfill groundwater and leachate
22 September, 2015The Rural City of Wangaratta in Victoria owns and operates an EPA-licensed landfill at Bowser. It is a challenging site as it divided in two by the Sydney-to-Melbourne four-lane Hume Highway, which was a major reason for the requirement of a wireless system.
