CELEBRATING A DECADE OF DEDICATION 👏 |  This month, we’re proud to recognise Glen Macpherson on his 10-year milestone as a Service Technician with Control Equipment Pty Ltd.

With more than 20 years of hands-on experience in instrumentation, Glen has become our in-house technical expert across the industrial hygiene product range. His depth of knowledge and practical insight make him an invaluable resource not only to our team but also to our customers.  Glen’s commitment to excellence has seen him travel to London to complete specialist training as a certified Casella service and repair technician — further strengthening the level of support we provide.

While based in-house, Glen is frequently called upon by customers for advice, troubleshooting, and guidance on selecting the right instrumentation for their applications. His approachable nature and willingness to share knowledge are qualities that truly set him apart.

Congratulations Glen, and thank you for your ongoing contribution to our business and the support you provide to our customers every day.

YOU CAN’T OPTIMISE WHAT YOU CAN’T MEASURE | Methanation is gaining momentum as part of the global decarbonisation strategy—converting hydrogen (H₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) into methane (CH₄) to create a usable, energy-dense fuel.

But achieving efficient conversion requires accurate, real-time gas measurement. The OHC-800 Gas Calorimeter uses a unique opt-sonic sensing method that combines optical and sonic sensors to continuously determine gas composition and energy content. This approach enables precise monitoring of mixed fuel gases used in methanation, flare gas, hydrogen blending, and other energy applications. The OHC-800 instrument is perfect for applications involving:

✔️ Methanation and hydrogen blending
✔️ Flare gas monitoring
✔️ Biogas and renewable natural gas analysis
✔️ Refinery and industrial fuel gas monitoring

Fast, precise measurement data is crucial for making better decisions related to energy efficiency, emissions reduction, and flare gas recovery.

OXYGEN MONITORING ISN’T OPTIONAL – IT’S CRITICAL!  Installing a complex fixed gas detection system isn’t always practical for small labs, individual rooms, or retrofit spaces.

The OX-600 Stand-Alone Oxygen Monitor  solves this by providing laboratories with simple, dedicated oxygen monitoring exactly where the risk exists:

✔ Protect individual rooms without installing a full gas detection system
✔ Quick wall-mounted installation for immediate safety coverage
✔ Simple to set up – supplied with 2 preset alarms and ready to operate
✔ Flexible power options — AC, 24 VDC, or battery operation
✔ Remote sensor placement for cabinets, gas stores, or enclosed equipment spaces
✔ Clear tri-colour alarm display for instant atmosphere status

BREATHE EASY | If your lab needs reliable oxygen-deficiency protection without system complexity, the OX-600 delivers a practical standalone solution without major system upgrades.
