At the upcoming Gasworld Specialty Gas Summit, held 10th–12th June in Utrecht, Netherlands, GCE® Speciality will exhibit its druva® brand of ultra-high purity, high purity and technical grade gas control equipment, as well as feature the new InduSuite FloCloud digital solution for monitoring and analyzing gas consumption. GCE will also deliver a technical presentation focusing on Digitisation and Effective Management of Ultra-High Purity Gases on Day 3 of the Conference.
“We look forward to networking with engineers, designers, installers, distributors, and end-users in the specialty gas industry and discussing how our complete range of solutions can empower them to achieve their highest standards with confidence and excellence,” says Dr. Thorsten Kuster, Director Specialty Gas.
Complete range
For applications requiring up to N7 (99.99999%) purity levels, GCE Speciality offers a complete line of manifolds, cylinder regulators, valves, line regulators, point of use products and accessories such as header rail assemblies, valves, hoses, gauges, cylinder connectors, and more. Systems are available in a full range of body materials and designs to meet the needs of specialty gas installers, gas companies, laboratory professionals, and operators. Industries served include research laboratories, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, automotive, aerospace, refrigeration, petrochemical, food and beverage, laser and plasma cutting, marine and industry.
“Demand is quite high for ultra-high purity solutions due to growth in semiconductor and related industries as well as green energy and laboratory applications,” says Dr. Kuster. “These end-users rely on GCE expertise to create cleaner, safer and more efficient environments with products that have reliable delivery times of 10 to 12 weeks or less.”
Visualising gas consumption
FloCloud includes a combination of robust, battery-powered sensors that digitally tracks the pressure, temperature, consumption and gas flow from the manifold to the point of use, then automatically communicates this data via wireless technology. The software sends all the information directly to the cloud, which can then be accessed via a computer, tablet or other mobile device. Because the information is transmitted directly from the end points, there is no chance for misinformation or need to manually check data. FloCloud’s easy-to-use dashboard and reporting system tracks every end user point and sends notifications if gas pressure drops (indicating a potential leak) or if the flow is outside the process parameters (such as weld procedure specification).
“FloCloud has helped large end-users save more than €1 million in gas spend by detecting leaks and stopping over-consumption,” says Dr. Kuster. “By tracking gas consumption in real-time, cylinder swap-out can be planned, uptime is improved and gas use per station is easily documented for QA and cost tracking purposes.”
