New gas samples were collected by Entracers from the Full-scale Emplacement (FE) experiment on Nov. 11th-12th, 2021. This was the first sampling planned for Phase 27 of the Mont Terri Project.
A picture of Entracers “in action” can be found in the Mont Terri Rock Laboratory field report.
On Oct. 28th 2021 Entracers collected new samples at the HotBENT experiment at the Grimsel Test Site that will provide the data basis to interpret future changes in the gas composition within the drift. After the sampling we enjoyed the nice autumn weather on the way back to Zurich.
After the revision of one of the valves of the gas circulation system at the HotBENT experiment, on Sept. 16th 2021 the gas monitoring of all sampling ports within the drift was launched. This will allow observation of possible changes in the gas composition even during the early stages of the experiment.
After a couple of months Entracer’s first portable membrane inlet mass spectrometer system (aka miniRUEDI) is ready to determine gas concentrations in the environment. A few applications that exemplify the flexibility of this instrument:
Many thanks are due to Matthias Brennwald at Gasometrix GmbH for supporting its construction!
A few more custom parts and our portable membrane inlet mass spectrometer will be ready to run.
Entracers’ first portable mass spectrometer system is getting a more concrete shape. It should be operational within a couple of months.
The first “serious” piece of equipment is growing! You can guess what is this device…
Social media are part of the business… This should be the first post linked to Entracers’ Twitter account!
On Jun. 24th/25th 2021 Entracers performed the first gas sampling in the HotBENT experiment at the Grimsel Test Site.
Between April 8th and April 9th 2021 Entracers GmbH collected gas samples from the Full-scale Emplacement (FE) experiment located in the Mont Terri Underground Rock Laboratory.
