Gas monitoring instruments and systems for semiconductor manufacturing
by Gasmet Technologies Oy based in Helsinki, FINLANDIn the semiconductor manufacturing industry, various perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are used. The emissions of the PFC compounds into the ambient air are reduced by scrubbing of the exhaust gases from the process. In this process, the Gasmet™ FTIR Gas Analyzers can be used to measure the emissions into the atmosphere and also monitor the efficiency of the scrubbers. Typically monitored PFCs in the exhaust gas include carbon tetrafluoride CF4, trifluoromethane CHF3, and hexafluoroethane C2F6.
Gas monitoring instruments and systems for DeNOx process control
by Gasmet Technologies Oy based in Helsinki, FINLANDIn most combustion process atmospheric nitrogen reacts with oxygen in high temperature conditions to produce nitrogen oxides (NOx). Total NOx production is the sum of nitrogen monoxide NO and nitrogen dioxide NO2. The emissions of these gases are controlled through setting of emission limit values (ELVs) for power plants.
Gas monitoring instruments and systems for anesthetic gases
by Gasmet Technologies Oy based in Helsinki, FINLANDThe anesthetic gases and vapors which leak into the indoor atmosphere during medical procedures are considered waste anesthetic gases (WAGs). The exposure is of relevance to thousands of professionals in hospitals, operating theaters, patient recovery rooms, dental offices, and veterinary clinics around the world, who may be continually exposed to the waste anesthetic gases during their workday. Typical gases of concern include nitrous oxide N2O and several halogenated compounds in vapor form, such as sevoflurane, isoflurane, enflurane, halothane, desflurane, and methoxyflurane. Short-term exposure to these gases may lead to several symptoms, such as dizziness, headaches, fatigue, nausea. Long-term exposure to some of the anesthetic agents may result in sterility, birth defects, cancer, and liver and kidney disease.
Gas monitoring instruments and systems for compressed breathing air
by Gasmet Technologies Oy based in Helsinki, FINLANDCompressed breathing air is subject to strict limits of harmful contaminants defined in European standard EN 12021 and various defence standards such as DEF STAN 68-284 issue 3. The testing interval of breathing air compressors and associated equipment is 3 months and gases tested include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oil vapour defined as hexane and heavier hydrocarbons. EN 12021 covers underwater applications including self-contained open circuit compressed gas breathing (SCUBA) and compressed gas line breathing (hard-helmet diving), respiratory equipment used on ground for escaping from toxic atmospheres and for working in contaminated atmospheres. It also covers breathing gas for hyperbaric operations and synthetic air. While EN 12021 does not cover aerospace applications, the British MOD publication DEF STAN 68-284 and its counterparts in other countries cover also the breathing gases used in aviation.
Gas monitoring instruments and systems for greenhouse gas emissions from soil
by Gasmet Technologies Oy based in Helsinki, FINLANDMeasurement of greenhouse gases released from soil and water surface forms an important part of climate change study. Microbial activity in the soil or for instance the melting of permafrost releases greenhouse gases such as Methane and nitrous oxide N2O into the atmosphere. Measurement of the concentration for these gases inside an open-bottom soil chamber placed on the soil over time tells the emission rate (flux) per chamber footprint area.
Air sampling & monitoring systems for biomedical, chemical & pharmaceutical industry
by HI-Q Environmental Products Company based in San Diego, CALIFORNIA (USA)HI-Q Environmental Product Company provides air sampling instrumentation & systems for several niche applications in a number of disciplines in the broad area of `Life Sciences`. In the Biomedical, Chemical, & Pharmaceutical industries, HI-Q has marketed instrumentation for certain applications for many years. Our ambient, in-door breathing level air samplers, commonly known in the industry as `Goose-Neck` or `Giraffe` air samplers have been instrumental in analyzing workplace exposure. HI-Q has also developed accurate pre & post heap filtration stack sampling systems to aid laboratories in inventory control & atmospheric exposure monitoring for chemicals such as Radio Iodine.
