Gasmet is a company based in Finland. Their technology was developed at a University in Finland in the early 1990s. Their technology is based on Fourier Transform Infared (FTIR). They didn’t invent FTIR technology, what they did was perfected it. They have developed methods to lower the detection limits of FTIR into the lower PPB range, for over five thousand gases. They also have developed the ability to take FTIR technology out of the lab and put it in both a portable instrument for industrial hygiene and hazmat applications and also into CEMS systems they can be directly mounted onto a smokestack.
They have ruggedized the FTIR technology to take it out of the lab and into the field. They also have unique software that will notify a user if the current library of gases doesn’t match the gases in the sample. The instruments can measure up to fifty gases at a time. If there’s a fifty first or fifty second gas also present, the instrument will mark that in the results as an error.
The end user can do a search of the recorded spectra from the sample that was taken, identify the other gases that are there, load those gases into the library and continue to do measurements in real time. It’s the only portable FTIR analyzer that can go into the field and take continuous real time measurements down into the PPB range without any cross sensitivity.
