AQE launch for next-gen certified FIDs
Signal Group, the UK developer and manufacturer of advanced gas analysis and calibration instrumentation, has submitted both portable and fixed VOC analysers for MCERTS certification, and the company’s stand (D11) at AQE 2022 will feature both instruments. The 3010 MINIFID rugged, portable, heated FID VOC analyser has been designed to demonstrate compliance by hydrocarbon […]
Researchers investigate ammonia fuel for marine decarbonisation
A group of academic and industrial partners have been awarded a £5.5million grant by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to accelerate understanding, technologies and policies relating to the use of ammonia as a sustainable fuel. The project begins in June 2022 and will run for 5 years. Entitled ‘Decarbonised Clean Marine: Green […]
Did you know?
Our S4 units are capable of having all the flows, pressures and temperatures read and adjusted remotely via the internet. This together with the out of limit alarms may be messaged to Signal Group where the service department can check the readings and adjust the settings if necessary. All S4 gas analysers have digital signal […]
Rapid service assures environmental accreditation
In April 2022, Leeds based Alkali Environmental was awarded UKAS and MCERTS accreditation for its emissions testing services. However, just three weeks before the MCERTS audit, a vital piece of the company’s in-house instrumentation required urgent service and repair, so the company faced the very real prospect of having to defer the audit. “UKAS and […]
Gas analyser helps optimise carbon canister performance
Many Signal Group customers employ the company’s gas analysers to measure the combustion emissions from engines that are under development. However, internal combustion engine vehicles also represent an opportunity for evaporative emissions, so vehicles are fitted with a carbon canister to prevent such releases. MAHLE ANAND Filter Systems – India, a leading global manufacturer of […]
New stove emissions regulation sets a minimum standard
From 1st January 2022, a new regulation will impose Ecodesign requirements for solid fuel local space heaters. Regulation (EU) 2015/1185 24/5/2015 describes the requirements which will harmonise energy consumption, particulate matter (PM), organic gaseous compounds (OGC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission requirements for solid fuel local space heaters manufactured in the European […]
Signal Group expands range of service contracts
Signal Group (UK), the gas analyser manufacturer, has announced the launch of a new flexible range of service contracts, which enable customers to determine the level of service required. “No two companies are the same,” explains Signal Group Service Manager Roy Kinslow, “so it makes sense for us to offer a tiered-package approach to service […]
New heated VOC analyser is truly unique
Signal Group (UK) has announced the launch of a new, highly innovative, portable gas analyser, the SOLAR XPLORE. One of the company’s core technologies is Flame Ionisation Detection (FID) for the measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and the new instrument brings the unique advantages of the latest fixed analysers to a compact, portable device […]
Growing demand for non-methane VOCs analysis
Signal Group, the UK gas analyser manufacturer, has seen a growth in demand for reference-grade analysers that are able to differentiate between total VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and Non-Methane VOCs (NMVOCs). “This demand is largely driven by domestic regulatory requirements, where countries are seeking to control emissions of both pollutants and gases that impact climate […]
How to check the calibration and linearity of gas analysers
Calibration is the process of establishing the relationship between the output of a measurement and a known input. In common with most measuring instruments, gas analysers require calibration following installation, and then at regular intervals to check that they are performing to specification. Regular zero and span checks (known inputs) are necessary, but it is […]
