Glen10Yr Anniversary

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.

OX-600 Monitor

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.

Industry Applications

Alongside supplying and maintaining a wide range of gas detection devices, we offer a comprehensive selection of specialist solutions for fumigation monitoring, airborne monitoring, and wireless systems. Whether you need a fixed or portable gas detection system for manufacturing, petrochemical, council, defence, fumigation, emergency services, or aerospace sectors, Control Equipment can provide an appropriate solution.

Industrial Hygiene

With the addition of Casella, Control Equipment is able to supply dust monitors, sound and other hygienist’s equipment. To reduce occupational and environmental health risks through effective monitoring solutions.

Oil & Gas / Petrochemical

Our wireless gas monitors combine the most advanced gas detection technology for industrial safety applications with the latest in connected data systems. This ensures safety personnel have up-to-date information at their finger tips.

Confined Space

A common issue when working in a confined space is the size of instrument used. With the smallest gas monitor on the market we take this issue out of the equation. In conjunction with this we also offer sample draw instruments.

Laboratories

We have a long history of doing business with research labs. We understand the environment and requirements, and our products are particularly suited to the needs. In research labs many experiments conducted are highly toxic or flammable.

HVAC

Our many HVAC products are dedicated to the optimisation of building performance. Control Equipment uses all-encompassing solution systems that deliver to clients energy efficiency, sustainability and tenant comfort.

Environmental

With the addition of the Testo range to Control Equipment’s gas detection family, we are now more than ever ready to assist in the detection of low level VOC’s. We even offer instruments that are able to detect for up to six independent gases.

Defence

A long time supplier to the defence industry, we are proud to be involved in keeping our defence personnel out of harm’s way when it comes to gas detection. Our initial contact with the defence industry dates back to the year we first began operation – 1977.

Shipping / Marine

As the Australasian agent for Riken Keiki we have long been associated with the marine industry. We pride ourself on our ability to quickly provide marine instruments to our customers and onboard calibration services.

Fumigation

Control Equipment’s range of gas detectors covers all areas of the fumigation industry. Whether it is for checking the amount of methyl bromide, monitoring for leaks or for personal protection for phosphine, we have your application covered.
