A global packaging company is monitoring VOC emissions (volatile organic compounds) continuously at its facility in Ireland – primarily to manage and improve the plant’s environmental performance and to demonstrate regulatory compliance. Due to a changeover in equipment, a short-term requirement arose for VOC monitoring with a flame ionisation detector
With the COP-28 climate conference about to start in Dubai, political and media attention will focus on greenhouse gas emissions, and as a specialist manufacturer of methane and carbon dioxide emissions analysers, Signal Group is well-positioned to comment on the role of industrial process emissions on air quality and climate
Following several abortive attempts to monitor potentially hazardous methane gas in a boiler’s emissions feeding a pilot carbon capture unit at a natural gas combustion plant in southern Arkansas, engineers from Aqualung Carbon Capture contacted Signal Group (UK) looking for a solution. Aqualung is trialling its novel carbon capture technology
Global regulations limit the environmental emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial processes. This is because VOCs contribute to the formation of ozone, a constituent of photochemical smog. Methane and some halogenated VOCs, such as refrigerants, are also powerful greenhouse gases, and thereby contribute to climate change. Also, in
The 2nd FERIA Conference, the European Conference on Fuel and Energy Research and Its Applications, will take place at the University of Sheffield from 4th to 6th September 2023. “This is an ideal sponsorship opportunity for us,” explains Signal Group MD, James Clements. “The majority of our gas analysers are
Signal Group’s Managing Director, James Clements believes that it should be possible to remove the screens of all gas analysers, and connect with them wirelessly. “It no longer makes sense to fix the screen into the analyser,” he explains. “Everyone is completely comfortable with portable keypads and screens, and analysers
Levels of uncertainty in gas measurements can be increased, for example, by calibration gases that offer poor levels of accuracy. For this reason, Signal Group manufactures gas handling and calibration equipment as well as gas analysers. “The linearity check is particularly important,” explains Managing Director James Clements. “Our Model 821S
Responding to a demand for short-term monitoring, Signal Group has established a fleet of gas measurement instruments that are available for hire. “Some of our customers only need the equipment for a specific project or for a short-term investigation,” explains MD James Clements. “In these circumstances it would not be
Loved and adored by his family and friends, much liked and admired by his peers, John Clements was a hugely popular man, and will be sadly missed by those that were lucky enough to have known him. John passed away after a short illness on 28th January 2023 at the
Signal Group is currently celebrating the 30th anniversary of its gas sample cooler/dryers. Over the years, Signal has developed a fleet of ancillary equipment to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its gas analysers, and this has included cooler/dryers that condition sample gas before analysis. Despite advances in technology, Signal Group has
Signal Group’s portable heated FID VOC analyser, the S4 SOLAR XPLORE, has made it to the finals of the Instrumentation Excellence Awards, and a team from Signal will be donning their red-carpet attire for a glittering award ceremony that will take place at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London on
Intriguingly, the Signal Group stand will be staffed by gas analysis experts wearing T-shirts saying ‘Ask me about MCERTS!’ It’s too early to say more, but anyone interested in VOC emissions monitoring should head for Stand-L5…if only to try out the detachable tablets. With a heavy focus on technology development,
Researchers at the University of Sheffield are exploring new exhaust aftertreatment systems for heavy-duty engines capable of running on clean, zero-carbon fuels. This 4-year project is funded by an EPSRC grant and supported by the industrial partner Eminox. The project is led by Bill Nimmo, Professor of Energy Engineering and
