Cluster Spotlights French Expertise

Axelera, a competitive cluster for the chemical and environmental sectors introduced some of France’s top innovators in industrial testing and analysis at Pittcon. Companies on the stand included APIX which proposed gas chromatography solutions dedicated to online and real time process monitoring for petro-chemistry, gas quality measurements, (eg BTU, biogas, shale gas); a  miniaturised and portable GC system enabling direct and on site measurements for real time air quality analysis, VOCs emissions or water & soil pollutions down to ppb level; also portable and modular gas analysers offering quick response time and high specificity for on-site measurements of any chemical threats (warfare agents, toxic compounds or explosives detection). www.apixanalytics.com

Avenisense displayed its plug & play sensors and transmitters for the continuous monitoring of oil and gas, fuels, lubrication oil quality, beverages, chemicals, paints and inks. The company is involved in long-term relationships with OEM, system integrators and co-developing companies worldwide. The high-tech instruments are designed to help enhance the profitability, safety of industrial processes and play a key role in reducing the maintenance cost of lubricated machineries. www.avenisense.com

The industrial analysis department of IDEEL offered a panel of efficient analysing techniques: separation techniques, spectral techniques, and specific sensors, that can provide expertise around industrial analysis and the factory, experimental means for feasibility test, as well as support for R&D. www.ideel-factory.fr

IVEA Solution offer complete packages for elementary analysis using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), giving qualitative and quantitative chemical elementary analysis of atomic emission lines of the plasma generated by laser.

The instruments were said to offer real time analysis under multiple conditions: laboratories, on-site and production lines applications. Portfolio solutions MobiLIBS, EasyLIBS and LinyLIBS are turn-key, modular and portable or transportable systems for solids, liquids, gases, aerosols, powders, emulsions, viscous liquids, soils, waste applications.
