Products & services
The first in situ 3-in-1 biogas analyser
The VAISALA MPG261 and MPG262 are the only inline analysers that measure CH4, CO2 and humidity simultaneously. The probes can be installed directly into the gas line without the need for sample treatment.
Digital and intelligent sensors for pH, oxygen and CO2
Digital sensors with ISM (Intelligent Sensor Management) can be calibrated and controlled via your PC. You only need the special iSense software and a "dongle". Using the iSense software for maintenance and calibration increases the service life and reduces maintenance costs.
Inline Brix or concentration measurements
Measuring the refractive index using an inline refractometer is the only technique that directly measures the concentration of your medium. Pressure, temperature, particles, vibrations, drift, etc. all have no influence on the measurement. Refractometry is a reliable, stable measurement technique that does not require calibration and requires little or no maintenance. This produces correct measurement results that enable you to save costs, increase quality and optimise returns. The PR-43 Process refractometer has a built-in web server with homepage. It allows you to monitor, configure and diagnose remotely. Different models are available, customised to your process and application (F&B, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, etc.).
Digital MemoSens electrodes for liquid analysis
Our digital electrodes are intelligent. They use the globally known MemoSens protocol. MemoSens sensors use inductive transmission of the measurement signal. This makes them insensitive to moisture, earth potentials and other electrical disturbances. For you, this means trouble-free, stable measurements and a longer life for your electrode! The electrodes are pre-calibrated, which helps you save time.
Inline turbidity sensor
The AF16-N is a high precision turbidity sensor. It measures the attenuation of light through the process fluid. The AF16-N sensor is specially designed for inline installation and is non-invasive. Its modular structure offers maximum flexibility for direct connection to the production line, without influencing the measurement accuracy. The fluid is crossed by a focused and constant light beam. This measurement of the intensity of the light transmitted in relation to the light emitted allows the monitoring of variations in turbidity inline and during production.
Retractable process connections
Retractable process connections are the ideal way to mount sensors in a process and still keep them accessible for maintenance and calibration without process interruption. CERAMAT: Full ceramic seal making it the most chemically resistant retractable sensor holder on the market. No O-rings, whereby products with abrasive particles are no problem. Pneumatic operation with possibility of automatic cleaning and calibration of the sensor. Different insertion depths up to 2 metres.
Gas analysis without compromise
The GPro® 500 TDL Series is designed for tough and challenging gas measurement applications. The series is highly suited to demanding process applications where accuracy and fast response is crucial despite a varying background gas composition and a high dust load. The range of process adaptions provides the ultimate in convenient process connection flexibility. The GPro Series can be easily calibrated without interrupting the process, providing a reliable, low maintenance and flexible in situ gas measurement solution.
Unrivalled overflow detection in the toughest conditions
The IJinus CSC and LCS overflow detectors detect overflow by means of a capacitive measurement with the CapAir® technology air reference. This ensures that maintenance is significantly reduced, in contrast to traditional resistive and capacitive technology. Both the CSC and the LCS work on this principle. The difference is in the cabling with the LCS being wireless.
Wireless H2S detector
In addition to the significant, insidious danger that H2S, in gaseous form, is for humans, there are also devastating consequences for the infrastructure, such as corrosion of metal and concrete. Odour nuisance is, of course, another consequence not to be forgotten. Sewers and production processes are increasingly monitored for H2S concentrations. This can often be dealt with by dosing chemicals to prevent the formation of H2S. The LOGAZ from IJINUS is the solution in the form of an autonomous, compact and smart device. By connecting an electrochemical H2S gas detection module to the LOGV3, a battery-operated measurement solution is created, including data logging and 3G or Sigfox communication. This module connects seamlessly to the cylinder and is replaceable for calibration. This gives you the benefits of a robust and proven sensor platform combined with a very specific measurement that detects H2S gas at the ppm level.
Compact ultrasonic level measurement
Ijinus’s LNU is a compact ultrasonic level sensor. It’s possible to monitor the level in real time by means of the Ijitrack platform. This autonomous system contains a powerful battery, combination of data logger and GSM modem and then the ultrasonic measuring module.
Inline total solids analyzer for waste water.
The Valmet TS (total Solids), dry solids measurement, is designed for municipal and industrial wastewater applications. This microwave-based measurement technology makes it possible to continuously measure sludge (or other solids) inline within a range of 0 to 50% with high reproducibility. By having real-time insight into the dry matter concentration at various positions in your water treatment plant, it becomes possible to control the dewatering process in a more targeted manner. This not only results in a higher efficiency of dewatered sludge, but also in cost reduction in energy consumption, transport, polymer and maintenance of your systems. The Valmet TS has no moving or optical parts, so no periodic maintenance is required. This means that the system is virtually maintenance-free and also works above 3 bar pressure (max 100). No optics are used, so that there is little or no influence of struvite, oil or grease on the accuracy of the measurement.
Versatile portable multiparameter instrument with digital sensors.
The YSI ProDSS (Digital Sampling System) is a portable multiparameter instrument developed for the measurement of several critical parameters allowing accurate monitoring of the water quality: dissolved oxygen (optical), turbidity, pH, ORP, conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, TDS, resistivity, TSS, ammonium, ammonia, chloride, nitrate, chlorophyll, blue algae, depth and temperature.

High-precision converters and galvanic isolators for energy measurements.
In industrial applications, measuring and control signals must be isolated when being transmitted — for safety reasons and in order to achieve optimal signal quality. The products used must safely master dangerously high voltage levels and a variety of ground potentials. Knick offers a complete range of universal measuring converters. In addition to the range of solutions for standard measuring signals, there are also modules which can double this signal, process it passively or protect it intrinsically. Galvanic separation amplifiers ensure a reliable result during signal conditioning. Knick also offers DC converters for voltages and currents in rolling stock, which comply with the applicable railway standards.
PC-free spectroscopy with significant calculating power.
With Embedded Spectroscopy, the electronics of the spectrometer completely take over the tasks of the computer. Without loss of functionality, the calculation of critical process parameters is placed completely outside the classic PC environment. This preserves the processing power that is required for chemometrics, for example, and there are no more risks of compatibility issues when operating programmes are updated. It is clear that Embedded Spectroscopy goes beyond a compact stand-alone UV-VIS, NIR and even Raman spectrometer. It is a platform in the field of hardware and software, data security and communication capabilities, which connects seamlessly with, for example, Industry 4.0.
Fast bioburden analyser for real-time microbial detection.
The 7000RMS bioburden analyser measures real-time microbial contamination (bioburden) in pharmaceutical water. Laser technology allows immediate detection and quantification of microorganisms directly from the water sample, overcoming the limitations of time-consuming growth-based methods. With real-time monitoring, you know immediately whether contamination has occurred and can intervene immediately. Variations (e.g. seasonal or production-related) are detected in an early stage, as a result of which the water quality can be maintained. The online results help you to optimise sanitation frequency, saving you time and money. Such data-driven decisions are necessary in modern water management. A real-time bioburden analyser increases confidence and optimises the entire water purification system.
Opt for a permanent monitoring of your water quality.
TOC (Total Organic Carbon) is one of the most important water quality parameters in the pharmaceutical industry. Both during water purification itself (WFI, PW, HPW/UPW) and after CIP (Cleaning In Place) or at the points of use, permanent monitoring of the water quality, including TOC, is necessary. Speed, accuracy, stability and reliability are then of the utmost importance. A classic analyzer will only give you an update periodically (e.g. every 6 minutes). Have you thought about what can happen in the meantime? Choose a continuous TOC analyser and get a new value every second! Contrary to expectations, such an online continuous analyzer has an even simpler design than periodic analyzers. No pumps, no membranes, no heat exchanger, etc. So as good as nothing can break down. As a result, the 'uptime' is also high, with a low maintenance cost. Add to that the built-in diagnosis that warns you when maintenance is required, and you know what to choose!
Innovative compact silica and phosphate analyzer.
The 2850Si Silica Analyzer provides unique capabilities for 3-in-1 multi-stream silica and phosphate detection for power plant water chemistry. Silica analysers are responsible for the protection of the turbine. Let that be the most precious part, the heart, of a power plant! A small investment in these analysers prevents a mega bill for early maintenance or replacement of the turbine.

The LDI ROW is an autonomous non-contact sensor that detects oil on water in real time from 1 micron and from a height of up to 10 meters! Protect your waterways through 24/7 continuous, online industrial and environmental water monitoring, whether discharge or in-take points. Receive early warnings so you can react quickly.
cCare | Fully Automated Sensor Maintenance System for pH
cCare ensures accurate measurements through fully automatic cleaning and calibration of pH sensors and reduces maintenance and material costs at the same time. It contributes to process optimization, quality, the safety of people and the environment. Based on retractable sensor holders, the pH electrode is pulled out of the process periodically or on command. The sensor is then completely isolated from the process in a rinsing chamber. In this chamber, the sensor is rinsed with water and other chemicals of choice such as acids or solvents. Afterwards, the sensor is rinsed with water again. This is followed by a fully automatic calibration with pH buffers. After calibration, the sensor is put back into the process. The measured value is re-released after an adjustment time. The entire process is fully adjustable. The calibration and cleaning cycles are completely independent. This allows you to clean several times a day and calibrate fully automatically once a week.
Radar level sensor
Efficiently monitor the level of streams, rivers, canals, as well as in storage tanks or basins. The Ijinus LNR is a compact level sensor hat is equipped with the latest radar technology. Measurements are therefore not affected by external factors such as wind or temperature fluctuations. This makes it an ideal solution for outdoor measurements, even in remote locations where no power supply is available.
