Hach Ultra released this just about 6 weeks back (03/25) - it's impressive that DDI got on the distributor/integrator agreement right on its heels. For Electrowave/DDI to have a demo prototype available so soon to show at the OTC, would probably mean they worked closely with Hach Ultra for a month or two to get it working even as Hach was bringing it into the market. For folks thinking this is fluff, think again. This is not DDI being just a distributor, but an integrator and a VAR (value added reseller) who is adding value to Hach Ultra's product as well to their own Marine/umbilical monitoring system/product.
"In addition, these rapid fluid particle counting systems can be used to test both manually collected samples and in-line samples. Together with our Electrowave USA division, Deep Down intends to integrate this vital in-line monitoring capability into our marine vessel monitoring systems and offer clients real-time monitoring of their on-board fluid conditions. We believe such a time and money saving device will be in high demand within our market, and we will be demonstrating it, along with the rest of Deep Down's services and products, at this week's Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, Texas," Smith concluded
Revolutionize Glycol Fluid Cleanliness Testing With the HIAC GlyCount
2008.03.25 - Technology
Hach Ultra, the makers of HIAC liquid particle counters, introduces a new development in glycol cleanliness monitoring – the HIAC GlyCount. The portable HIAC GlyCount measures, stores and reports glycol fluid cleanliness in a fraction of the time needed for traditional analysis methods in offshore and subsea petroleum production. This new portable instrument analyzes glycol fluids and coolants in bottle sampling or on-line modes. The HIAC GlyCount provides rapid test results that are as accurate as a conventional laboratory microscope or liquid particle counter analyses. True particle counting analysis results are delivered in less than 20% of the time needed for traditional analysis practices. This portable instrument delivers cleanliness results at the point-of-use under actual operating conditions, reducing manpower and analysis time. With a concentration limit of 30,000 particles/mL, the HIAC GlyCount monitors the dirtiest glycol fluids. Superior optics and design provide eight channels for reporting particle counting data. Temperature measurement is also available for assessing fluid conditions. The HIAC GlyCount features a wide array of reporting formats, including NAS 1638, SAE AS 4059 and ISO 4406. The HIAC GlyCount can be calibrated with PSL spheres in water or ISO-MTD in glycol. The instrument contains a buffer for storing 500 analysis results. A rugged carrying case is also included for your portable offshore needs.
