CiDRA SONARtrac(R) Systems Receive ATEX Approval



    CiDRA Corporation ("CiDRA") CiDRA Corporation proudly announces
    ATEX Class I, Zone 2 certification for the SONARtrac process
    monitoring systems. The certification by UL International Demko A/S is
    ATEX II 3 G EEx nL(nL) IIC T4 IP55. The ATEX directive was adopted by
    the European Union and compliance is mandatory for all electronic
    equipment offered for sale in any EU country if intended for use in
    explosion-hazard areas. This approval signifies the availability
    throughout the European Community of SONARtrac systems which may be
    safely used in hazardous locations classified as Class I, Zone 2
    (explosive gas mixtures). This certification is extremely important as
    CiDRA broadens its global operations, as new opportunities in Oil and
    Gas, Chemical and other industries in Europe emerge.

    SONARtrac clamp-around systems allow deferment-free retrofit
    installation on existing flow lines without compromising the integrity
    of the production system, especially in brown field developments,
    where this translates into a unique value proposition. International
    Oil & Gas customers have repeatedly expressed their high interest in
    such a technology for accurately allocating production. "ATEX
    certification further enhances SONARtrac surveillance systems' unique
    value proposition to the oil and gas industry by combining the ease
    and convenience of clamp-on surveillance with the ability to operate
    in hazardous areas, " said Paul Khuri, Vice President and General
    Manager for CiDRA's Oil and Gas business.
