The Problem

Industries rely heavily on monitoring reactive flows, whether it's the plume from an aircraft engine, the flame from a welding spray gun, the plasma jet from high and low-temperature torches, or the combustion process in the engine chamber. Accurate measurement of these reactive flows is crucial for optimizing the equipment efficiency by tracking key characteristics such as temperature, velocity and species concentration.


However, these measurements often occur in challenging environments with dust, acoustic noise, mechanical vibrations, and thermal radiation. Traditional detection methods, such as thermocouples and infrared sensors, struggle with accuracy under such conditions.

Our Solution

Our advanced optical detection technology directly addresses the challenges posed by traditional measurement methods. Here's how our solutions solve these problems:

High accuracy

Based on advanced laser spectroscopy, our detection delivers accurate measurements with a high signal-to-noise ratio. This ensures you receive accurate flow-field data, which is critical for improving your system’s performance and safety.

Non-Invasiveness

Our sensors are designed to be non-invasive, eliminating the need for intrusive sensors that disrupt the running system. This enables the installation and maintenance of our sensors with zero risk on your system and minimises system downtime.

Miniaturization

Our solutions are compact and portable, enabling seamless integration into various industrial settings, regardless of space constraints or environmental challenges. This flexibility also ensures in-situ measurement of the reactive flows without the need for sample extraction.

Fast Response

Our sensing technology provides kHz and above data rate, enabling quick decision-making and immediate responses to any issues. This rapid feedback loop is also essential for maintaining optimal performance and avoiding costly disruptions.
