New ultrasonic gas detection website

Hazard detection specialist Groveley Detection has launched a new website that focuses entirely on its ultrasonic gas detection equipment and solutions – www.groveley-ultrasonic.com

   Ultrasonic or acoustic gas detectors instantly detect gas leaks by 'hearing' the sound generated by escaping gas rather than responding to specific measurements of LEL or ppm.

   Managing director Robert Bennet said: “Ultrasonic is the only commercially-viable method of gas detection without the gas cloud needing to come into direct contact with the detector. The technology is impervious to wind, fog or gas dilution and is therefore very reliable in outdoor installations. Our intrinsically safe and flameproof sensors detect gas at the speed of sound.”

   Groveley also manufactures aspirator-type gas sampling systems and catalytic gas detectors. And it markets Simtronics’ GD10P and GD10PE point infrared gas detectors as exclusive UK distributor.

   A new corporate video on the website shows Groveley’s expanded new premises and upgraded production facility.

Groveley Detection: largest order for its GDU-Incus ultrasonic gas detectors is shipped to Papua New Guinea LNG

Hazard detection specialist Groveley Detection has shipped 31 of its GDU-Incus ultrasonic gas leak detectors to the new upstream LNG plant in Papua New Guinea – in Groveley’s largest Incus consignment to date.
   The units – supplied against two orders to a total contract value of $350,000 – will monitor potential gas leaks in the LNG plant gas compression areas and other areas with pressurised gas.
   Ultrasonic gas detectors instantly detect gas leaks by 'hearing' the sound generated by escaping gas and is the only method able to detect gas without the gas cloud needing to come into direct contact with the detector. The technology is impervious to wind, fog or gas dilution and is therefore very reliable in outdoor installations.
   The GDU-Incus incorporates four independent sensing heads to allow unobstructed sensing and a larger detection range.
   The Papua New Guinea liquefied natural gas (PNG LNG) project is a new gas project built to handle three large gas discoveries in the southern and western highlands of the country. It includes gas production, processing and liquefaction facilities, as well as offshore and onshore pipelines.
   LNG cargoes are due to start in 2014. The PNG LNG project has an estimated lifespan of around 30 years, by which time it could produce around nine trillion cubic feet of gas.

New worship software package gives synchronised control for band and projection

A new worship software tool has been launched for worship teams that seamlessly joins up the functions of lyrics, chords and projection – all controlled from a single source.

  Worship, Inc stores and maintains all a band’s lyrics and chords on laptop or tablet PCs, then displays them as a live playlist to each member through standard Wi-Fi.

  It ensures all musicians always have the same words and chords. Songs can be transposed at click of a button by the worship leader and instantly displayed to each musician. 

  The Worship, Inc package is being offered free for a three-month trial, fully-functioning. Without entering credit card details and with no commitment to purchase, musicians can load in their songs, invite up to ten friends to join the group, share and subscribe to playlists.

  Phil Read of Charthouse Data Management, the Dorset-based company that created the new software, said: “It makes the process of sharing songs flawless, simple and very fast.

  “Worship leaders are excited because gone are the days spent photocopying chord sheets or coordinating slides. This has been designed with corporate worship and band leaders in mind, providing everyone present with a unified, but personal, view of the songs being played.

  “Musicians can carry all their songs and chords on a tablet PC or laptop – no more lugging that big binder around with them. 

  “And projection is simpler because the package enables remote control of the projector display from anywhere on the network. A singer, pastor or even someone sitting in the congregation can select the media to display, ensuring you have the right words all the time.”

   Guitarists can use capo keys to display the appropriate chords for using a capo, while leaving the song in its original key for other band members.

  Song lyrics and chords are stored and distributed from a central website and to all musicians. During a service, songs can be added into the playlist as inspiration leads and the song is instantly made available to other band members and projection.

  Lyrics can be projected verse-by-verse in large meetings where the size of text is important, or displayed as the whole song for small groups. Worship, Inc can also be used to display all the media needed during a service, including videos, pictures and recordings.

   The Worship, Inc package costs £12.99 for a single user, £57.99 for five users and £275.99 for up to 25 users.
