Chemical Properties Sensors

Chemical sensors detect the presence and quantity of chemical species. These can include toxic and hazardous species, such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, metals; and combustion-related products such as nitrogenous species, hydrocarbon emissions, CO2 and H2O, combustion pollutants CO and NO, and unburned hydrocarbons.

Process Analysis for Emissions Assessment and Inventory

Methods have been developed to assess emissions from storage tanks, pipelines, and process streams These measurements assist in determination of emissions inventories.

Forensics Detection and Sensor Systems

Different detection systems have been devised to study forensics-related chemistries, materials, and national and homeland security issues. The methods are non-invasive and do not destroy or alter the sample being studied.

Fiber Optic Sensors and Chemometric Analysis

Near-infrared (NIR) spectra of samples are collected with silica optical fibers. Chemometric analysis of the spectra significantly improves detection capabilities.
