| Greetings!
In this April News Edition I've included an exerpt from a paper we presented at PITTCON 2009 entitled "Remote Monitoring of Methane for Landfills and Septic Systems". For a complete listing of our participation in the Pittcon Technical Program click on the "E-Newsletter Archive" on the left-hand margin of this email and choose the "March E-Newsletter Pittcon Preview" .
The Product of the Month is our Model 112 which utilizes the same RF mote technology as our work completed at the Barnstable County Alternative Septic System Test Center.
Attention Global Spec subscibers out there: check out our FEATURED PRODUCT: Inexpensive Continuous ppb VOC Analyzers in the April 9th Email Edition of Scientific Instruments.
Our post-sales service and support contact information is listed at the end of this email. Make sure to email me to receive a discount on the service of your 101 or 102 PID.
Calling all Gen Y Chromatographers: try UPGRADING your existing lab GC with an HNU PID detector (Model 52-02C Add-On PID). We've got the best sensitivity in the industry. Our PID is 50 times more sensitive than an FID!
We are looking for Domestic and Foreign Distributors. Contact me to discuss opportunities in your territory. mailto:jen@pid.bz |

Remote Wireless Monitoring of Methane from Landfills & Septic Discharges Abstract Number: 250-45 Slot # 45
Presented at the Pittcon 2009 Sunday Poster Session by PID Analyzers and Suffolk University (W. Johnson, K. Han, J. Kim, F. Little, P. Perov,
N. Perova & J. Porter)
"The goal was to develop and test a wireless methane detection system for monitoring of methane production in landfills and septic systems. Nitrogen in septic systems is a problem on Cape Cod because the majority of sewage is handled by septic systems. We were interested in measuring methane levels produced by septic systems to determine if sufficient quantities were available for capture and reuse in the system to remove nitrogen".
This project was successful due to the cooperation of the Barnstable County Alternative Septic Test Center.

Model 112 PID VOC (ppb-ppm)-
Fenceline or Area Monitor with
RF Data Transmission & Geographic Position Sensor
Our Model 112, is available in a NEMA 4 enclosure for measuring VOC's from 0.1 to 3,000 ppm. This Analyzer has a response time of 1 sec for VOCs in the ppm range. An optional ppb range covers the range from 1 to 50,000 ppb and is ideal for fenceline monitoring or indoor air quality measurements. The 112 can detect ppb levels of aromatic, olefinic or parafinic hydrocarbons (except methane), chlorinated hydrocarbons, gasoline, diesel fuel... This Analyzer has a PID response library of nearly 300 with the capability to calibrate on any gas or provide direct response for any component in the library. Calibration is easy with the 4 button keypad, menus and prompting on our two line x 16 character display.
An RF Mote can be used to send the data back to a base station with a transceiver that logs and plots the data on the PC. The files can be saved as an Excel spreadsheet or an SQL database. The analyzer can be run off a solar powered battery that will keep the instrument running continuously for long periods of time. The advantage of this system is that no wires or power lines have to be run to the Analyzer and the analyzer is quite compact and can be easily moved. Multiple Analyzers can be logged into the same PC base station since each Mote has a different ID. An optional GPS system is available that can be used to fix the location of the fenceline or area monitor.
Applications include leak detection, monitoring indoor air quality,
homeland security, area monitoring, fenceline monitoring.

Model PI52-02C Add on Photoionization Detector (PID) for GC
A new and improved PID is now available. We have reduced the electronic noise in the PID by adding a constant current high voltage power supply and a new low noise electrometer. This has resulted in an increase of the dynamic range to 108. For comparison, a typical FID has a dynamic range of only 106. The detection limit for benzene is now down to 0.5 pg without any sample preconcentration.
There are several inlet designs available for the most popular GCs and the detector can be purchased with a power supply only or with a combination power supply and electrometer. This detector can added on to any existing commercial GC.
