Signal partners with gas analysis experts in Korea
Signal Group has announced the further expansion of its network of international distributors with the appointment of Y&J Eng in South Korea. “Asia is fast becoming one of our major markets, so it is important that we have a local partner in the Korean market,” explains Signal MD James Clements. “We recently welcomed two members […]
Advancing Emissions Monitoring: The Critical Role of Gas Analysers in Carbon Capture Initiatives
In the modern era, emissions monitoring has become a critical environmental responsibility for industries worldwide. Gas analysers play a pivotal role in this context, offering the tools necessary to accurately measure the presence and concentrations of various gases in emissions. Their importance cannot be overstated, as they provide the data needed to comply with environmental […]
Can engine design lower greenhouse gas emissions?
Some of the ‘noise’ around global warming can be a little confusing, so in the following blog James Clements, from gas analysis equipment manufacturer Signal Group, explains some of the key issues… Most people know that global warming is caused by excessive quantities of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere that act a bit like […]
Rented gas analyser safeguards packaging manufacturer’s environmental performance
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 (FID) that was hired from […]
The effects of combustion process emissions on air quality and climate change
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 change. Signal’s Managing Director James […]
Signal Group gas analyser enables carbon capture pilot
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 on a generic gas-fired boiler, […]
Monitoring VOC emissions to ensure US compliance
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 high concentrations, many VOCs are […]
Signal Group sponsors fuel & energy research conference
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 used for the analysis of […]
One day, all gas analysers will have detachable screens
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 are often in inconvenient or […]
Measurement accuracy depends on more than just the gas analyser
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 Gas Divider, for example, has […]
