HACH LANGE LTD

West Burton B CCGT is a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine power station near Nottingham in the UK. It has three open-cycle gas turbines capable of generating enough electricity for approximately 1.5 million UK homes. In common with all combustion based power stations, the CCGT has a requirement to monitor silica levels in the Plant’s water and steam processes. Sean Todd, the Plant’s Control & Instrumentation (C&I) Team Leader, says: “Boiler chemistry is one of the major challenges facing power plant managers, and the monitoring systems that were originally installed at this plant met the required specification but failed to deliver the accuracy and reliability that we need.

HACH LANGE has achieved FDT certification for its sc200 Universal Controller and associated sensors, which means that process managers will find it simpler and quicker to integrate the company’s broad range of water and wastewater analytical instruments.

Following a rigorous testing programme, HACH LANGE’s Biotector B7000 Online TOC Analyser has been awarded the 200th product conformity MCERTS certificate by SIRA, the body that manages the MCERTS scheme on behalf of the Environment Agency.

Commenting on the results of a 4 month trial of nutrient monitors, HACH LANGE’s John Moroney says he is absolutely thrilled with the report on his company’s instruments which outperformed the competition in almost every measure.

HACH LANGE has launched a completely new web site that, in addition to a new online shopping facility, now enables visitors to access a vast database of information on water quality testing in the laboratory, in the field and within industrial and municipal processes.

Reliable 24/7 monitoring and control of a pharmaceutical company's wastewater facility is fundamentally important to the successful operation of the entire business. This is because failures or down-time in the wastewater treatment process would quickly result in waste stream back up. It follows therefore that monitoring equipment should be extremely reliable and this is why Shasun Pharma Solutions employs HACH LANGE monitoring equipment at many locations around their manufacturing facility just north of Newcastle upon Tyne.

As one of the world's largest manufacturers of instruments and reagents for water analysis, HACH LANGE has a duty to create the most environmentally friendly system possible for the management of chemical waste resulting from the use of its products. Dismissing less sustainable options, the company has invested heavily in a state of the art environment centre that handles waste reagents, bottles, cuvettes and packaging from all over Europe.

Leading analytical instrumentation manufacturer HACH LANGE is delighted to announce a new multi-million pound Framework Agreement contract for a range of water monitoring instrumentation with a major UK water company.

Leading analytical instrumentation manufacturer HACH LANGE will demonstrate a range of advanced technology for the brewing industry at this year’s International Brewing Convention.

In recognition of their outstanding commitment to recycling, HACH LANGE has awarded two companies with silver bars made from recycled chemical test reagents.

HACH LANGE has been rewarded for its innovative recycling scheme for used cuvettes by judges at one of Europe’s most prestigious sustainability awards, beating off fierce competition from hundreds of other companies.

A high-speed, high-temperature HT200S laboratory digester from HACH LANGE has helped one of Europe’s largest recycled packaging companies to cut analysis times by 75%.

The Orbisphere 1100 series optical dissolved oxygen sensor from HACH LANGE is providing major advantages to international service company Serco, in the course of its work to solve corrosion problems within the UK power generation sector. The instrumentation has helped reduce maintenance time and service requirements to improve the overall monitoring efficiency of testing carried out under plant conditions.
