Parafour manufactures an economical, ecological and reliable storage pneumatic system for the operation of pneumatic actuators for internal valves and ESV's, 

This new product, the Eco-Air-IVS 100 is designed to provide clean, reliable compressed air, which is more economical than nitrogen.  Packaged in a compact, robust ZERO-MAINTENANCE solution, with a self-diagnostics and preset for the best actuator operation, the Eco-Air-IVS, is the solution!  The Eco-Air-IVS Is not just an air compressor.  Sure, you can buy a cheap discount home garage grade air compressor with a 3-5 gallon tank for less than $300.00.  But will it last?  Without daily water draining, oil level maintenance, air filtration and other inconvenient and costly maintenance, it simply won't last.  Unmaintained standard air compressors will fail in as little as 6 months!  The Eco-Air-IVS is a purpose designed and built unit, specifically for the rigors of propane internal valve operation.

If you are still using tank vapor to actuate your internal valves and if you are complaining about mysterious "lost gallons"; then the Eco-Air is for you.  Have you experienced failed regulators and pressure gauges from liquid condensing in the vapor lines?  Or perhaps in cold weather, the low tank vapor pressure fails to fully open internal valves?  It is not just an inconvenience and a high operating cost.  Each 100 cycles of internal valve actuation results in not only the cost of one gallon of propane, but also the emissions of more than 356 cubic feet of propane hydrocarbon emissions!  It is not only costing you as much as $600 per year in "Lost Gallons", but pending regulations in many states may make it illegal to release these harmful emissions.  Save money, improve reliability and help keep the Clean Choice in alternative fuels CLEAN, with the Eco-Air-IVS!

The Eco-Air-IVS is assembled with the highest quality components:

• Durable, long life military grade compressor, oil free and maintenance free, rated for 100% run time duty cycle

Elimination of Lead in the Rochester Gauges Dallas facility

This notice is to inform you that Rochester will be ceasing the use of lead counterbalances in various liquid level gauges. All gauges currently employing lead will instead use a plated steel counterbalance. This is being done to better conform to various environmental standards and to improve workplace safety. For more than 90% of the gauges, there will be no increase in cost.

The gauges will have slightly different forms in as much as the steel counterbalances are shaped slightly differently from the current ones of lead. However, there is no effective change to fit or function.

The transition will begin in 3rd Quarter 2013 and take place gradually through the next several months.

Thank you for your continued patronage of Rochester Gauges and we look forward to having a cleaner and safer future with you.
