6 GAS DETECTION


A new name to remember in the field of gas sensor technology


Since 2019 a German company, Sensorix GmbH from Bonn, has established itself as a global manufacturer of sensors for gas detectors in safety-critical applications. Its main focus is the production of the niche products, sensors for detection of exotic toxic gases such as O3


, HCN, NH3 , Cl2 , ClO2 , TBM, THT, as well as standard toxic gases like H2 S and CO.


“Sensorix was founded responding to a global demand for high quality sensors made in Germany”, the founder, Dr. Andreas König says. All electrochemical sensors are designed to be used primarily in industrial safety applications. “Our goal is to establish long-term partnerships by providing customised solutions for gas detection tasks. We can achieve our goals through cooperation and thereby realise our vision - Together we save lives worldwide.”


“Quality, reliability and service are embedded in the DNA of the company”, as Dr. Andreas König points out. The high quality of Sensorix sensors is based on the 150-year experience of the Sensorix team in the toxic gases sector.


In the Sensorix laboratory in Bonn, they develop mainly electrochemical sensors which offer highly selective detecting of the target gas. As an example, the Sensorix TBM sensor detects mercaptans with zero cross sensitivity towards H2


, CO, H2 S and is ready for use in H2 response time and minimal effects from humidity and temperature changes”. All Sensorix sensors have low and very stable baseline.


Sensorix’s combined years of manufacturing experience ensures that they produce all sensors to be accurate and reliable, conforming to their customers’ specifications and delivered on time. According to customer feedback, working with Sensorix is a pleasure thanks to their rapid and competent response to any request made.


The Sensorix team working in their extensive research and development department in the Bonn premises solve each gas detection task individually. All sensors are available in various standard formats, as well as in customer specific mechanical adaptations. Sensorix have also received very positive feedback from the market about their products “Your HCN sensor is outperforming others”, and “We are very satisfied about the lifetime of the H2


S 2000 sensor in 150,000 ppm hours H2 S”, are among the positive testimonials they have received. Especially O3

New Sensor Evaluation Board (SEB) allows real-time evaluation of CO2


with a dedicated board and software


email: For More Info, email: email:


Gas Sensing Solutions has just launched a new sensor evaluation board to market. The SEB allows users to easily assess the performance of a GSS CO2


sensor


in real-time while assessing the suitability for their application with no need to write software in advance.


The SEB, which allows for graphing of CO2 ,


temperature and humidity is included, providing the user with a comprehensive evaluation of the sensor attached. Users can also benefit from the SEB’s snapshot mode, designed for graphing the sensor’s current. This feature is useful for ensuring that the customers system is able to supply the peak current. For those wishing to log live data but analyse at a later date, the board can log data for subsequent investigation. Additionally, the SEB is designed to communicate with the sensor in UART or I2C Mode, dependant on the sensor requirements and user preference.


When using the sensor evaluation board, a GSS CO2 sensor can be separately powered and all


features brought out at the board edge for customer evaluation. The SEB can also be used to set up and zero a sensor remotely.

When constructing its biogas plants, one of the top 5 German companies in the renewable energy sector pays attention not only to modern process technology, but also to reliable methane gas monitoring. During the fermentation process, gas leaks can occur at any time and cause catastrophic damage in the event of ignition. For the production of biogas, farm animal waste is mixed with plants. The mixture is processed into a kind of liquid manure in the corresponding fermentation plant. Millions of bacteria now swarm in this mixture and slowly decompose it. This process causes methane gas to form.


For successful gas monitoring with specified SIL requirements, the stationary PolyXeta®


2 gas detector


from MSR-Electronic with the innovative exchangeable sensor has been the first choice of many biogas plants.


The microprocessor-based gas sensor with output signal as well as alarm and fault relays (all SIL2 certified) monitors the ambient air for combustible gases and vapours by means of a catalytic pellistor sensor element. The 4–20 mA / RS-485 Modbus output signal makes the sensor suitable for connection to the PolyGard®

gas controller series from MSR-Electronic as well as to other MSR controllers or automation devices. As an option, the PolyXeta®


For PolyXeta® 2 sensor is also available with


LCD and relay output. Individual customer configuration, e.g. for alarm thresholds and relay assignments, is possible as well.


2 sensors from MSR-Electronic without LCD, calibration is performed via the handy calibration device STL06-PGX2 or the PC software PCE06-PGX2. Sensors with LCD have an integrated calibration routine that is started from the outside with a permanent magnet without opening the housing. For sensors with LCD, the background lighting changes from green to red in case of alarm or error. The exchangeable sensors thus enable simple and time-saving calibration on site.


The PolyXeta® 2 sensor is used in industrial areas like oil/gas industry, biogas plants, petrochemical industry, power plants etc. in Ex-Zone 1/2.
