How Santa’s Workshop Became Emissions-Compliant with the Solar CEMNEX
The surprising story of how the North Pole turned to advanced gas analysis to keep Christmas clean and green. For centuries, Santa’s Workshop has been celebrated as one of the most productive manufacturing facilities on Earth. With millions of toys produced annually, an entirely renewable transport fleet powered by reindeer, and a workforce of highly […]
Multiplexed gas analysers can lower costs
Just as a puppy is not just for Christmas, a gas analyser is not just for regulatory compliance. Process managers generally install a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) because they have to, by law. In the following article, James Clements, MD at Signal Group, explains how businesses can extract maximum value from an investment in […]
Sustainable packaging can be a bit like ‘whack-a-mole’
Gas analysers are performing a vital role for packaging manufacturers looking to check the environmental performance of their latest products as they seek new ways to develop sustainable packaging. Signal Group, the UK based manufacturer of gas analysers, has seen a particular increase in demand for its continuous VOC measurement instruments in the packaging sector. […]
FID: the VOC emissions monitoring reference method – for over 50 years!
The Flame Ionisation Detection (FID) method was first developed in the 1950s for the laboratory analysis of organic chemicals. Later, when environmental regulations began to limit the emissions of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in the 1970’s and 1980’s, the FID method was adapted for emissions monitoring. Signal Group was one of the first companies in […]

Carbon capture relies on accurate greenhouse gas monitoring
As the world urgently seeks ways to decarbonise, James Clements from Signal Group explains how gas analysis will perform a vital role – not just for CO2 but for all of the important greenhouse gases. The climate crisis is forcing nations to urgently find ways to lower their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and carbon capture […]
COP29 moving towards the establishment of a global carbon market
An important outcome from the first week of COP29 was the approval of international standards in the global carbon market… This decision provides a formal basis for the mechanism established by Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement; known as the ‘Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism’. Article 6 of the Paris Agreement details how participants can pursue […]
‘Test & Measurement Product of the Year’… will it be Signal’s?!
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 Thursday this week. Flame Ionisation […]
Signal invites AQE visitors to a test-drive
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, Signal’s MD James Clements is […]
Developing catalysts for a clean fuel future
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 Sustainability, with PhD student Madhumitha […]
