Mel Henry, Managing Director of Level and Pressure measurement manufacturer VEGA Controls Ltd, won the recent Wessex Institute of Measurement and Control Annual Golf Day at West Wellow Golf Club in Hampshire. “I’m very pleased to participate in the industry and social events” said Mel, pictured with his trophy “ and I was delighted to be the winner and hope to be able to defend my title next year!“. So the question remains, can he keep his hot streak going with a victory in the VEGA Summer Open in September?

Biomass level measurement is key to good supply and delivery efficiency of the feedstock, here’s why; As biomass fuels are becoming more and more important to the power generation mix of UK generators. A number of new ventures and projects are underway, even Eddie Stobart transport have their own division in the company sourcing and supplying materials. VEGA are helping a number of suppliers and generators in projects where waste timber, low grade softwoods and wood chip level measurement and control is required for silo level indication on Biomass plants . It’s important as the feed stock availability at both supplier (for collection) and power generation (for delivery) are key areas. New non contact radar level sensors with PLICSMOBILE technology offers integrated SIM cards and battery power packs for sensors that can measure silo levels up to 75m high without being affected by dust, filling or changing bulk denisty and report back to facilitate maximum capacity for logistics planning. This ensures product is there ready for collection to fully utilise transport capacity – and that space is available at the power plant to accept delivery – thus helping to avoid ‘empty runs’.

There are many applications where existing pressure sensors are installed in marine applications for level measurement, but they don’t have the longevity required to meet the harsh environment, corrosive liquids, impacts and pressure shocks. However they still have to deliver a reliable measurement. A major company using HANLA pressure sensors on their ships, has now begun upgrading by replacing all their units with VEGAWELL and VEGABAR transmitters to deliver higher reliability at a competitive price in applications such as bilge, grey water, black water and fuel level measurement. The level and pressure sensors use VEGA CERTEC ceramic measuring cells offering excellent stability and robust diaphragm on submersible pressure sensors. There is an industry section on our website showing the full capabiltiy for level measurement on ships in the marine sector : http://www.vega.com/gb/737.htm and an industry brochure available at : http://www.vega.com/downloads/PR/EN/28725-EN.PDF for more information.

VEGA, manufacturers of level measurement, are sponsoring two brave men from Diageo who have pledged to make some fairly drastic changes to their appearances to raise money for Red Nose day. Mr Barry Paterson has gone all out and given himself a red Mohican! His colleague Ian Graham has bravely shaved off what appears to be a fairly long term project, his beard. Congratulations to them both.
