PowerTest 2023 delivers for EMT ... Proceedings kicked off with a presentation at the New Product Forum on the world’s first 4in1 SF6 & Eco Gas Analyser, the Zerowaste Eco+. This followed by live product demos of our latest technologies for insulating gas analysis and handling, where the theme at the EMT booth was very much on future proofing insulating gas management equipment. There was a hive of activity with notable interest in the new Leak Hunter Dual SF6 & Eco Gas Portable Leak Detector; for rapid detection of leaks on GIS, switchgear and gas insulated compartments containing SF6 or Eco based insulating gases. The EMT Moisture Pro also proved popular for its portability, smart features, and fast, reliable, accurate moisture determination in dry air, SF6 and alternative gas assets. And the SmartMix Automated Gas Mixing System created a buzz at the show, leading to several requests for custom projects by the EMT Engineering division.

They say pictures speak a thousand words; here’s our latest Site Services project completed for a UK electric utility. Following a site survey, the team confirmed SF6 leaks on all phases of the asset, which required immediate repair and preventative maintenance. The project was for x6 flange repairs; x3 upper flange and x3 lower cover plate with sensor. All repairs were carried out under live conditions and full pressure. From surface preparations; to soft shell mounting and reinforcement; through to hard shell, resin application, final seal and post repair testing – our expert engineers followed proven and rigorous EMT protocols using trusted and reliable EMT technologies and solutions, to ensure compliance at every stage of the project.
