Trace-level impurities such as carbon oxides, oxygen, nitrogen, argon and water may be present in process gases, and they can have a significant impact on the iron and steel materials being manufactured. To ensure quality, the industry needs a robust, high-performance analytical system – one that provides real-time results. Our technologies provide the most precise measurements and the most reliable solution, so they’re a real game-changer for this industry.
We know that the iron and steel industry consumes high volumes of oxygen and argon, as well as many other gases. With our over three decades in industrial bulk gas purity analysis, we’re true pioneers in the field. In fact, in the 1990s, we even invented the first interference-free online N2 in argon analyzer.
Unlike many others in the market, we’re not just GC integrators; we’re technology designers. If a solution doesn’t exist, we’ll create it for you, from the ground up. That means that whatever your needs, you can count on us to provide you with the most robust, easy-to-use technology – and always at an affordable price.
As a compact, online trace argon/helium analyzer, the N2Sense is powered by our patented enhanced plasma discharge (Epd) technology. Compared to other commercially available analyzers, which use a single wavelength measurement, the N2Sense uses a combination of unique stabilizing/focusing electrodes and electron injection electrodes with the spectral compensation optical measurement. All of which means that you benefit from better performance and signal stability.

With the introduction of oxygen steelmaking, the effects of nitrogen contamination on the steel became apparent. Whether present as a residual element or added deliberately as an alloying element, the effects of nitrogen in steel are significant. Nitrogen impurities in O2 are known to cause embrittlement in steels. We have worked with many O2 producers or steel manufacturer to implement our solutions. Most realized that N2 level in O2 was much higher than anticipated due to poor O2 quality or simply leaks that have developed over time on the distribution line. Our solution is the perfect companion to continuously manufacture high quality steel.
