The Environics 9100 is the unit of choice in the Air Quality Monitoring Programs of the EPA and California Air Resource Board (CARB).
The Series 9100 consists of a single chassis supporting up to 3 thermal mass flow controllers, an ozone generation module, a mixing zone, a reaction chamber for gas phase titration, and control electronics.
Commands are entered from the front panel and displayed on a backlit 25 line by 80 character liquid crystal display. The instrument may also be operated using contact closures or an RS-232 serial data interface.
The mass flow controllers are calibrated to a NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) traceable primary flow standard. The calibration data consists of a comparison of desired versus actual flow over the full dynamic range of the instrument, with linear interpolation between points. Calibration data is stored in the non-volatile memory and may be updated by the user with a suitable standard.
The Series 9100 ozone generator is factory calibrated using a NIST traceable ozone standard. This temperature controlled, ultra-violet (UV) based ozone generator includes a precision photo-optical feedback circuit to compensate for lamp aging effects as well as built-in pressure compensation.
25 line by 80 character display permits editing and viewing of an entire seven-day schedule of calibration events in worksheet format.
Internally-stored mass flow controller calibration data improves accuracy by as much as a factor of ten and simplifies field recalibration.
Ozone generator pressure compensation insures repeatable ozone generation at a flow rate and back pressure other than that at which it was originally calibrated.
Concentration Mode: User enters Target Output Gas Concentration (ppm or %) for the span gas. The actual concentration is displayed during mixing.
Flow Mode: User enters Target Flow Rate (cc's or liters per minute) for the span gas and dilution gas. Actual flow rates are displayed after mixing is initiated.
Volts Mode: User enters a command voltage to the mass flow controller and the ozone generator. The actual voltage is displayed during operation.
Program Mode: Permits multi-event programming and unattended automatic operation of the instrument over a seven-day schedule.
Biological Activity: Catalyzes cis-trans-isomerization of X-Pro-peptide bonds. Accelerates protein folding reactions that are limited by the isomerization of X-Pro-peptide bonds.
1.The Government of India provides technical training to officials in Government, Private and Public Sector, Universities, Chambers of Commerce and Industry, under two bilateral training programs.
2. Under these two programmes about 800 Filipinos nationals have been trained in various courses listed below. The major highlights of the programme is that it is fully funded by the Government of India including economy airfares. For the year 2014-2015, there are 35 slots available for the Filipino nationals under the ITEC programme and 15 slots under Colombo Plan programme. One of the novel features of the ITEC programme is that it also caters to the semi illiterate and rural women in the Philippines. About 10 filipino women from various rural regions are presently in “Barefoot”college in India to be trained as solar engineers and in rain water harvesting so that on their return they can pass on this knowledge to other rural women.
ITEC is about cooperation and partnership for mutual benefit. It is response-oriented and it addresses the needs of developing countries. India possesses skills of manpower and technology more appropriate to the geographical and ecological conditions and the stage of technological development of several developing countries. These training facilities are also available for nationals of Palau and Micronesia.
Under training in India of nominees of ITEC partner countries, which includes Philippines and Marshall Islands/Micronesia/Palau, training is provided as many as 277 courses in 47 empanelled-Institutes. The training is offered in varied subjects, such as parliamentary studies, government accounts and finance, auditing, crime records, standardization, computers, advanced computing, telecom technology and management, management, labour issues, entrepreneurship development, micro, small and medium business development, rural development, English-language proficiency, mass communication, statistics, bank management, technical teachers training and research, educational planning and management, rural electrification, tool design, scientific instruments, production management, remote sensing, pharmaceuticals education & research, railways signaling, textile research and renewable energy sources.
Comprehensive details on the ITEC training courses, including the eligibility criteria, terms & conditions, procedure for application and the Application Forms, can be accessed on the ITEC website:
Another cooperation programme of India, the Technical Cooperation Scheme of Colombo Plan, was started in 1950 with a view to providing technical assistance to neighboring Colombo Plan countries. Through this Scheme, India provides comprehensive and integrated training to participants from Asian member countries of Colombo Plan with the purpose of assisting them to enhance their administrative and technical capabilities through human resource development. The Ministry of External Affairs, India, has been entrusted with the administration of the TCS of Colombo Plan since April 2010. Under this Scheme, India offers 500 slots (in total to all the Colombo Plan member countries) for training in India at 26 centres of learning covering diverse disciplines keeping in mind the needs of the Colombo Plan countries.
Under the TCS of Colombo Plan, candidates nominated by the Phillipine Government are sent for training courses to various institutions in India, which is fully sponsored by the Government of India. The TCS of Colombo Plan sponsored training programmes are mostly short-term (2 to 4 weeks) to medium term (8 to 12 weeks), though a few long term training programmes are also available (6 to 12 months). The TCS of Colombo Plan trainees are provided with airfare, tuition fee, accommodation and living allowance by the Government of India.
The target participants are Filipino citizens in the age group of 25 to 45 years, and should have the eligibility criteria for the training programme to which they wish to apply.
