Bionic Fuels are small / medium size commercial biodiesel producer based in East Sussex, UK. The company has been involved in testing and assisting in the development of a biodiesel specific field test kit designed to give key data throughout the production cycle.
Biodiesel production, despite being a fairly simple chemical reaction, encompasses many variables that can affect finished product quality. There is a recognised European standard (EN14214), however, the full suite of tests can be costly and the regularity with which these tests may be required can prove cost negative for the smaller producer. That said, sub standard fuel producers have in the past caused the fledgling industry to attract a bad name in some areas.
Most commercial producers now realise that in order to compete in the important fleet sector,quality is not only a key buying motivator but a prerequisite to opening discussions. The problem then, is to identify and manage the variables in batches between regular laboratory tests.
When sensor market leader ifm electronic launched the efector metris a year or so back it caused quite a storm as the first affordable device to monitor consumption or leakage of that major commodity, compressed air.
Just announced by Pressure Vacuum Level Ltd is a new range of top-quality industry standard heavy duty level switches that is totally compatible with and is a cost-effective replacement for Solartron Mobrey heavy duty level switches. PVL supplies all necessary flanges, gaskets and fitting kits to make replacement straightforward. 
For high speed and high torque applications the new KHK high precision, ground spiral bevel gears from R. A. Rodriguez are an excellent choice. These strong gears have high load ratings and run at speed with minimal noise and vibration..jpg "Re-Actrans")
Brownell Re-Actrans Transformer Breathers are self-reactivating to eliminate the need for periodic desiccant replacement on power and distribution transformers up to 500MVa, with low intermittent power consumption and simple installation combined with no moving parts and minimum maintenance. 
The simple pneumatic dispensing machine is generally low cost and almost ubiquitous. They improve the application of materials like single part adhesives, coatings, sealants and inks, by enhancing a manual process to one which is more controlled and repeatable, while health and safety benefits include less mess, less exposure to potentially hazardous chemicals and fewer RSI issues.
