NSC Southern Conference & Expo, 2019

mPower Electronics Inc. is gearing up for a big month in April, starting off with the NSC Southern Conference & Expo in New Orleans, where our team will be showcasing some of our best innovations in gas detection.

The Conference from April 10-12 is one of the primary events for safety professionals, and our team at mPower is thrilled to be among respected colleagues to address industry-specific needs to keep workers, and communities, safe.

“At mPower, we are passionate about protecting our customers from potentially hazardous situations,” said Brent Yaschuk, VP Sales and Marketing. “We take the time to listen to what our customers need and with the support of our seasoned engineers and professionals, we develop valuable products focused on safety. Events like the NSC expo provide us with the opportunity to meet first-hand with colleagues and customers to exchange ideas and work on mutually-beneficial solutions.”

UNI Single Gas Detector

We hope to see many of our friends in the industry and encourage them to pop over to booth #236 to check out our gas detectors and alarm systems.

Notably, we will have our UL-approved UNI MP 100 single gas detectors and our UNI 321 maintenance-free single gas detectors on display.

Our UNI MP100 offers a simple portable solution for the widest array of toxic gas and oxygen applications on the market. In addition to typical sensors such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, ammonia and sulfur dioxide, we offer less-common sensors including hydrogen fluoride, phosphine, ozone, ethylene oxide, methyl mercaptan and acetaldehyde.

POLI Multi-Gas Detectors

The UNI 321 is a disposable, maintenance-free version of the UNI single gas monitor. It detects hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide or oxygen in a selection of models for an operating life of either 12, 24 or 36 months.

Also, we are pleased to announce that our POLI multi-gas detector will be on hand. The POLI multi-gas detectors offer 4- or 5-gas monitoring of oxygen, combustibles, toxic gases, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds.

UNI Ozone Monitors Used in Corona Virus Disinfection

Currently there is much interest in using UV and ozone generators to kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 disease. Hospitals and businesses are treating entire patient rooms, offices, and other workspaces during off hours while no one is permitted to enter the rooms. During ozone treatment, concentrations over 20 ppm are recommended by generator manufacturers for adequate disinfection. UV light kills viruses directly, but may generate some ozone as a by-product. Workers using batch equipment sterilizers, where several thousand ppm of ozone may be applied, also need protection. Ozone is highly toxic to humans, and therefore UNI ozone monitors are being employed to ensure that residual ozone has decomposed or ventilated before employees can re-enter the workspace safely. Ozone has an 8-hour TWA exposure limit of about 0.07 ppm in many countries including most of Europe. In the US, the ACGIH makes the following 8-hour TWA recommendations:

  • 0.05 ppm for heavy work
  • 0.08 ppm for moderate work
  • 0.10 ppm for light work
  • no more than 0.20 ppm for any 2 continuous hours.

The UNI Ozone monitor has a resolution of 0.01 ppm and can measure up to 5 ppm ozone with a response time of 60 seconds, making this small, low-cost unit convenient and accurate for protection of the workforce.

mPower Electronics' Updates on CoVid-19

In order to meet urgent needs for public health and worker safety, our dedicated staff continues processing purchase orders as essential tasks, and makes timely shipments from our offices in Pasadena, TX and Santa Clara, CA. The state governments of California and Texas have ordered citizens to stay at home in a bid to contain the coronavirus outbreak. While these two offices are locked down during normal business hours, we will accommodate critical pickups if advanced arrangements are agreed in compliance with the pandemic gather rules.

In addition, our Shanghai factory has been shipping orders globally since the 1st week of February 2020, and has been running at a full capacity since early March.

We are very grateful to our loyal customers for giving us business, and would like to thank our employees for keeping it going in such a severe pandemic period.

Let us stay safe, healthy and strong!
