Product catalog summary
Introduction
Axetris utilizes advanced Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometry (TDLS) technology for gas detection. This involves a narrow bandwidth diode laser beam scanned across a target gas absorption band, enabling high-resolution near-infrared absorption measurements. The technology eliminates the need for a physical reference channel and allows continuous sensor status monitoring.
Specifications and Features
  • Optical, contact-less, accurate laser measurement
  • High selectivity and fast response
  • Self-contained and easy to integrate
  • Continuous sensor status monitoring
  • Calibration-free operation
  • Low cost-of-ownership
  • Hot-gas measurement option up to 190°C
Applications
  • Process Control: Used in incineration, carbo-nitration of steel, and combustion processes.
  • Emission Monitoring: Applicable in SCR for power generation and engine development, and wet/dry emission compensation for power plants.
  • Environmental Monitoring: Suitable for monitoring landfills, greenhouse gases, and livestock emissions.
  • Safety: Effective for leak detection, refrigeration, and toxic gas monitoring.
  • Climate Control & Monitoring: Used in livestock, climate chambers, and rooms.
Application Examples
  • NH3 Monitoring: Effective in de-NOx processes using SCR, offering low ppm-level measurement in heated sample gas cells.
  • Methane Monitoring: Reliable for low ppm concentration measurements in environmental research and CO2 certificate commerce.
  • Methane Leak Detection: Suitable for city-gas networks and shale gas extraction site monitoring, with fast reaction times and rugged design.

Laser Diode Gas Detectors for OEM Integration Axetris’ Laser Gas Detectors (LGDs) are self-contained, ready-to-use modules for the measurement of gases such as NH3, CH4, H2O, CO2, HCl, HF or O2. The modules are designed for integration by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), active in the field of gas detection and monitoring in diverse industries. Typical applications include process control, emission & environmental monitoring, safety and air conditioning. Based on state-of-the-art Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometry (TDLS), the LGD modules have virtually no cross-sensitivity with other gases...

Application Examples • Monitoring of NH3 slip in de-NOx processes based on Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) In power generation, NOx can be reduced by 99% with SCR where NH3 is injected into the exhaust gas. This process is extensively used in power plants and has found its way into emission control of truck and car diesel engines. In all applications ammonia slip can occur, which either needs monitoring during operation or for system desgin and testing. The LGD is a perfect tool for OEM integrators because it offers a contact-less low ppm-level measurement of NH3 in a heated sample gas cell...
