Detronics announcea the FlexSonic™ Acoustic Gas Leak Detector, the non-contact gas leak detector of its kind that recognizes 24 discrete ultrasound bands. The FlexSonic™ detector features a high-fidelity microphone that continuously monitors for the distinct ultrasound emitted by pressurized gas leaks across the widest spectrum of frequencies.

Unlike traditional, non-contact gas leak detectors, it can be programmed to ignore background noises, discerning between gas leaks and environmental noises, such as metal-on-metal contact, fans, machinery or vehicles.

Additional features:

-Detects leaks instantly in the harshest weather and environmental conditions

- Onboard acoustic learn mode that detects real leaks and tunes out false positives

- Removable micro-SD card that records the acoustic spectrum

- Globally approved for all gas types

- Certified SIL 2 Capable

Topics such as integration, remote control or intelligent data management are becoming increasingly important. The precise volume measurement of the water is critical to process control and optimization, and also billing. This is the world of Proline Promag 400. The new Promag 400 combines industry-optimized design with experience and innovation. Compliance with guidelines for custody transfer (OIML R49 and MI-001) and the providing of industry-relevant drinking water approvals are certainties.

Promag 400 is durable and guarantees reliable measurement operation even under extreme conditions. Promag 400 copes with permanent use underwater or in the ground and also in highly variable climatic conditions without additional protective measures:

• Certified corrosion protection (EN ISO 12944)

• Rugged, fully welded sensor and IP 68 protection

• Corrosion-resistant junction box with multiple seal design

PAC, a leading global provider of advanced analytical instruments for laboratories and online process applications, recently released its latest version of the MicroDist, the most advanced online distillation analyzer on the market. Its unique technology provides complete and accurate distillation and density analysis in a single instrument. With the new density analysis, the applications for the MicroDist are expanded, including calculating the Cetane Index for diesel fuel process streams and intermediate blends according to ASTM D4737 and D976.

With complete distillation results in less than 10 minutes that correlate to ASTM D86, the MicroDist enables refineries to make quick and accurate decisions to continuously control the process and increase profitability. With this instrument, refineries are able to maximize production with cut point optimization of the crude oil; increasing T90% by 1°C may result in .5% to 1% additional diesel production, which can, depending on production levels, increase profits up to $1 Million.

"Refining business complexity keeps increasing, making timely decisions even more important to drive improved profitability for our customers,” said Daniel Benitez, PAC Vice-President of Process Analytics. “Recognizing this challenge, the expanded analytical capability of the MicroDist supports process plant optimization and reduces product quality giveaway.”

The new DMU-5010, Ethernet I/O module which supports the Modbus TCP protocol has been designed specifically for wind power equipment monitoring and general automation, has been toughened up and given even greater performance. Now, with a cast iron casing and greater range of Digital input (DI) and Digital Output (DO) ports located at the front of the module it’s even easier to mount and wire the DMU-5010 on DIN-Rails or walls.

With support for daisy chaining, which makes it easy to use, it also has 8 x AI channels, 8 x DI channels and 4 x DI/DO channels. This flexibility ensures that the DMU-5010 can be connected to many different devices without the need to buy additional modules, thereby saving maintenance issues, additional costs and the need for a separate Ethernet switch.

Designed to work in the most extreme environments, the DMU-5010 will work in temperatures as low as -20°C and as high as 70°C, making it ideal for monitoring wind farms located in the wilderness.

With support for industrial Modbus/TCP protocol, the DMU can communicate with any Modbus such as PLC, IPC, UNO and WebAccess and so on. To aid system management, system engineers can quickly develop management tools using the Advantech Domain Focused Configuration Tool.
