New options for this
biogas flowmeter
The Optisonic 7300 Biogas ultrasonic
flowmeter (photo) for the measurement
of dry and wet (raw) biogas with
variable composition has been updated.
Besides the standard temperature
sensor, it now features an optional
pressure sensor, which is mounted
on the flow tube. In combination with
the integrated flow computer, the additional
sensor provides for advanced
biogas measurement. A temperature
sensor in combination with the measured
velocity of sound enables direct
measurement of methane content
via calculation of the molar mass. By
using an additional pressure sensor,
Optisonic 7300 Biogas devices can
also provide calculation of gas flow
volume in standard conditions. The
meter is available in line sizes 2, 3, 4,
6 and 8 in. (DN50, 80, 100, 150 and
200). - Krohne Messtechnik GmbH,

This boundary monitor now
includes VOC emissions data
The new Guardian2 site boundary
monitor (photo) is designed to help site
management remain compliant with
emissions levels. Using remote monitoring
and reporting of noise, dust and
vibration levels, the Guardian2 now
includes monitoring of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) at concentrations
up to 6,000 parts per million (ppm).
Equipped with a photoionization detector
(PID), the Guardian2 generates
text or email alerts when limits are exceeded
and produces manual or automated
reports for site dust or noise
compliance. - Casella Solutions,

Backpressure valves and
pulsation dampeners combined
New Fusion dampeners (photo) combine
the technologies of this company's
backpressure valves and pulsation
dampeners to simplify a chemicalfeed
system installation by blending
two previously separate accessories
into one product. The combination of
these two devices into one accessory
will also reduce the number of joints,
creating fewer leak-path opportuniA
new digital service to
transform engineering in the CPI
This company's Advanced Modelling
and Simulation (AMS) service can help
engineers to make better-informed decisions
at an earlier stage, maximizing
efficiency and reliability, reducing risks
and optimizing operating costs (OPEX).
Users can now virtually visualize heatand
fluid-flow scenarios that were merely
speculated before. Building on the latest

ties and provide for a smoother, nearly
pulseless chemical-feed system, says
the company. The initial offering of Fusion
dampeners is available in NPT
connection sizes of 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2
in. and with two pulsation-dampeners
in 6 and 10 in.3 volumes. Due to the
large internal passages in the new
fusion dampeners, there are no restrictions
on flowrate or pumped fluid
cleanliness, according to the company.
The new devices have a maximum operating
pressure of 150 psi (10 bars)
at 70°F (21°C). - Griffco Valve, Inc.,

A tablet makes data available,
even in hazardous zones
The new Tab-Ex 02 industrial tablet
(photo) is ATEX/IECEx Zone 1/Div. 1
certified and makes data permanently
available across the entire process
chain of a plant. Based on the latest
Samsung Galaxy Tab Active, the
Tab-Ex 02 also includes augmented
reality (AR) capabilities to support the
precise completion of tasks and ensure
rapid plant commissioning and
effective preventive maintenance and
asset
management. AR visualization,
along with the permanent availability
of all data for a specific plant
or asset, allows users to quickly and
easily identify objects, space requirements
or technical defects. The TabEx
02 also simplifies data exchange
- when an entry is made, the date
of modification and the employee's
name are stored automatically. This
guarantees the traceability of the
data. No information is lost because
it is entered directly via the mobile
device. - Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH,
