Continuous Improvement
and Process R & D

The Laser Gas Analyzer is a versatile research tool that can be used for real-time study of a variety of processes with gases as inputs, intermediate products, end products and by-products.

Optical filter and sensor combinations have been formulated for more than 100 gas molecules. At the time an LGA is ordered customers select the eight gases they need to monitor and/or control.

With the addition of inputs from optional pressure and temperature sensors and sampling once per second, the data logging function of the LGA's computer is capable of capturing concurrently the relevant attributes of gas-based chemical reaction processes.

New insights can be possible for processes that have been little more than "black boxes" due to the costs and limitations of prior analytical methods.

The Laser Gas Analyzer can perform complete gas analysis not possible from gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers and IR sensors. And test data can be recorded and interpreted in minutes rather than hours.

Processes controlled by the LGA can be adjusted on-the-fly with immediate feedback of results, rather than requiring discrete test runs under varied experimental conditions. This makes the LGA an advantageous tool for high speed exploration of the problem spaces of continuous industrial process improvement research studies.

Atmosphere Recovery is affiliated with application development partners for process improvement in the heat treating and pharmaceutical (fermentation) industries.
