Our team has a comprehensive overview of which methods are suitable for various gases, allowing us to assess potential solutions in each measurement scenario using a combination of theoretical understanding and practical experience.
We can combine different optical methods and optimize online sample preparation—such as collection and filtering—based on the specific application. Our well-established gas analysis toolbox enables accurate spectral analysis for determining gas concentrations.
Together with our colleagues in SINTEF Industry, with their extensive domain competence, we enhance our understanding of gas measurement challenges and develop new solutions by integrating expertise in physics, optics, and application-specific knowledge.
We have extensive experience in developing new gas measurement instruments. In collaboration with the Micro Optics group, we have contributed to several spin-off companies that provide specialized gas detection solutions—such as Tunable and GasSecure.
We are also equipped to address the challenges associated with placing sensors in harsh environments, including issues like scaling and high temperatures. In such cases, we work closely with the Demanding Environments group to find robust solutions.
Typical applications for our technologies include smart cities, offshore safety, process monitoring, environmental monitoring, and health and safety. We are a preferred partner for optical gas analysis for the European Space Agency (ESA) and, indirectly, NASA. A notable example is our contribution to ANITA2, the ISS technology demonstrator that sets a new standard for multi-gas monitoring [REF].
