Rig monitored

Hired mercury analysers from
instrumentation specialist Ashtead
Technology have helped to ensure
the fast, effective safety inspection of
an oil and gas platform 150 miles off
the coast of Scotland.

Inspection and servicing company
MS Industrial Services, based in
Invergordon, contacted Ashtead
Technology to hire a pair of Jerome
J405 Mercury Analysers to monitor
conditions on the rig prior to a
shutdown and a month-long safety
inspection.

The J405 Analysers, which use
proven technology to provide high
levels of accuracy and usability for
toxic vapour and gas detection, were
deployed during the preliminary
atmospheric testing process.
