During the Buncefield incident in Hertfordshire in 2005, it was established that there was no coordinated response to potentially adverse air quality incidents. As a result, the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs asked the Environment Agency to lead a coordinated monitoring and modeling response with the Met Office, Health Protection Agency, Public Health Wales, Health & Safety Labs and the Food Standards Agency, to set up air quality incident response teams.

The key

ABLE is pleased to announce the order award for their Jerome mercury analyser for the Shell operated Clipper gas production platform. The portable Jerome Analyser will be used during maintenance and engineering activities on the platform and associated satellite wellhead platforms in the Southern sector of the North Sea., approximately 62 km from Bacton.

During gas and oil extraction, a mixture of sand, silt & mud is also drawn from the well. This sludgy silt mud is rich in heavier me

ABLE is pleased to offer the new Computrac MAX-4000XL moisture in solids analyser. The 4000-XL provides the same reliability and ruggedness of the MAX-2000XL but with 25% faster throughput.

Significant performance enhancements include uniform heating and a lid fan which rapidly cools the heat chamber to reduce time between tests and allow for greater ease of use and accuracy. A colour LCD display comes as standard on this instrument to make it more user friendly.

The 4000-XL a

ABLE is pleased to announce the order award by Morgan Est for flow metering systems in the Thames Water London Ring Main extension.

The Ring Main was built to improve the speed and efficiency of moving drinking water throughout the capital. The current ring main is 50 miles long and runs underneath London at an average depth of 40 metres. The tunnel is wide enough to allow a car to pass through and is built in a ring so that water can flow in either direction. If a section is taken out o

The Jerome 405 is redefining the portable mercury vapour analyser market by way of significant performance enhancements and modern communication capabilities combined to create a new option for mercury spill detection and clean up analysis. It is considered the instrument of choice within the UK Oil and Gas industry, with many major oil companies and operators already taking advantage of its impressive capabilities.

With emphasis on health and safety at the forefront, reliable, fast a

ABLE is pleased to announce the award of the field instrument package for the natural gas pipeline connection linking EDF Energy’s new 1,300MW combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Station at its West Burton site in Nottinghamshire to the National Grid National Transmission System (NTS), some 12 miles away, at Grayingham, Lincolnshire.

EDF Energy was granted consent to build the new Power Station by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory reform on 30 October 2007, with initial

Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Service, acting on the advice of one of its Fire Board’s constituent local authorities’ scientific advisory services namely, Glasgow Scientific Services, has recently purchased ABLE’s Mercury Detection System for its technical support teams and mobile technical support laboratory.

Mercury, also called quicksilver or hydrargyrum , is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80. Mercury is one of only six elements that are liquid at or nea

ABLE are pleased to announce the award of ATEX approval on their Xentaur XPDM Portable Dewpoint Meter, negating the need for hot work permits to be issued for use in hazardous areas.

The portable meter is used for fast and precise spot checks of moisture in gasses over the range of minus 100oC to plus 20oC dewpoint. Aluminum oxide sensors adsorb much faster than they desorb water molecules. It is an advantage, if at the beginning of the measurement the sensor is dryer than the sample to b
