New Explosion Proof Gas Detector & Chromatograph System Unveiled

Edmond, Oklahoma, U.S.A.- April 10, 2010 – An advanced, fully-enclosed gas detection and chromatograph system that can perform safely in a Class 1 Group D environment has been announced by iBall Instruments, LLC of Edmond, Oklahoma.

A pre-production unit will be unveiled for the first time at the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Annual Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana in April of this year. The unit is currently undergoing long term and ATEX Certification Testing and is expected to be available in the second quarter of this year.

The system integrates wireless Ethernet and worldwide GPRS connectivity and can be monitored from anywhere in the world through the Bloodhound^TM server system.

Powered by any AC Voltage from 90 to 260 Volts and between 40 or 70 Hz, this advanced unit employs solid-state environmental conditioning, Bloodhound^TM Infrared Sensing technology and digital signal processing. It is housed in a rugged case that can be clamped to a drilling rig and left unattended. Further, the unit can power an external 12 VDC explosion-proof gas extractor.

One of the most exciting innovations is the new sample line water extractor system that is integrated into the design and eliminates all moisture from entering the detector system.
