CASE STUDY
Wastewater Treatment
Challenge
In wastewater treatment plants, monitoring GHG emissions is crucial. A common method uses large hoods over treatment basins to capture and transport gases to sensors over 100 meters away, providing point measurements. While this method offers some data on methane and carbon dioxide levels, it lacks complete analysis of hotspots and detailed insights into the process.
Our Solution
Our solution offers a significant improvement over the current method. This approach uses a remote TDLAS laser diode gas analyzer that can be deployed in a mobile fashion.
Key Results
Our solution advances greenhouse gas detection and analysis in wastewater plants by providing comprehensive, real-time monitoring over large areas. It improves emission insights, enhances leak detection, and supports efficient treatment operations with minimal maintenance, offering a superior alternative to traditional point measurements.
OUR SOLUTION
Key Advantages
Comprehensive Coverage
Unlike the point measurements provided by the hood system, BeamSight can measure gas concentrations through scanning over the entire surface area of the pool. This includes multiple pools if needed.
Enhanced Leak Detection
BeamSight covers a broader area, effectively detecting gas emissions and identifying hotspots during the treatment process. This detailed insight is crucial for maintaining efficiency and environmental safety.
Real-Time Data
BeamSight offers real-time, high-sensitivity data, capable of measuring even background levels of GHG. This analysis ensures that any fluctuations in gas levels are detected and addressed, improving processes.
Mobility and Flexibility
Beamonics BeamSight offers flexibility in deployment with its reflection setup. It can be easily moved and set up around different basins as required, making it adaptable to various plant configurations and operational needs.
Reduced Maintenance
Designed with high-quality, replaceable components, BeamSight has low maintenance costs and a long operational lifespan. This makes it a cost-effective solution in the long run, providing sustained performance.
Long-Term Reliability
The BeamSight system eliminates the need for regular cleaning or additional maintenance. This feature not only reduces operational costs but also ensures uninterrupted process analysis.
GAS ANALYZERS
Our Products
Why Implement TDLAS?
Industries handling gas monitoring face challenges like calibration demands, limited sensitivity, and high maintenance, especially in harsh environments. Traditional analyzers can disrupt operations and compromise safety when dealing with hazardous gases.
Beamonics’ gas analyzers — based on Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS)—solve these issues by providing highly sensitive, and calibration-free gas analysis.
- BeamCell provides an accurate extractive gas analysis, delivering results at parts-per-billion (PPB) levels. This system is self-referencing, reducing calibration needs and enabling continuous operation even in rugged conditions.
- BeamStack is a versatile turnkey gas analyzer that integrates seamlessly with industrial PLC systems. Its low-maintenance, robust design makes it ideal for challenging environments, with portable options for situations requiring flexibility, such as battery-powered operation.
- BeamSight offers a unique solution for remote, stand-off gas analysis up to 100 meters away, ideal for monitoring hazardous areas safely. Its portability and alignment-free setup allow for easy deployment in both stationary and mobile configurations.
TDLAS-based solutions empower you to conduct precise, reliable gas analysis with no maintenance, enabling safer, more efficient, and compliant operations across sectors.

OUR TECHNOLOGY
How Our Technology Works
1. Laser Emission
A tunable diode laser emits specific colors (wavelengths) of light that is directed through the gas sample.
2. Absorption Measurement
As the laser passes through the gas, molecules absorb some light, which is then measured and recorded.
3. Concentration Calculation
The absorption is analyzed to determine the gas concentration, providing precise, real-time measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What gases can be analyzed?
We cover many common process gases and technically all gases that absorb light in the spectrum from 650 nm to 2.5 μm. Including, but not limited to: Methane (CH₄), Oxygen (O₂), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Fluoride (HF), Ammonia (NH₃), Nitrogen Oxides (NO, N₂O), Water Vapor (H₂O), Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S), and Hydrogen Chloride (HCl).
Are your instruments sensitive to surrounding light?
No, our instruments are designed to only analyze the light at a specific wavelength. Therefore, the surrounding can be in darkness, daylight, fluorescent light or other artificial light sources.
Are your products certified?
Our products are both patented and carry the CE mark, fulfilling a wide range of applications where they are currently deployed. If you have specific requirements, please contact us and we will look into it.
When can we have the solution up and running?
Our products offer an out-of-the-box experience operational within seconds, but we always recommend integration of the product into specific processes to ensure optimal performance. For the most common process gases, we have a turnkey solution ready to deliver to the integrator within weeks. For more unusual gases or applications, it may take some additional time, primarily due to the availability of components, especially the laser. Please contact us for guidance, whether you are an end-user or an integrator who wants to become a partner, we have turnkey solutions ready to be delivered within weeks.
How is the price level compared to other gas analyzers?
The price level depends on the application and the need for integration. However, in general, the ROI is very competitive compared to other gas analyzers on the market. We offer real-time data with higher accuracy in tough conditions, minimal maintenance costs, and long-lasting products made with high-quality and replaceable components.
TDLAS seems great, but I need multiple sensors for point measurements in several positions in my facility, do you have a solution for this that can be competitive?
Yes, we can provide a solution where gas is extracted from each position where you need to measure, and the gas is analyzed in a central unit. Due to the speed of the TDLAS, even sampling of over 30 points can be done in tens of seconds.
What kind of support can I expect from you?
As a partner, you will receive support directly from the inventors, who are dedicated to creating the world's best laser diode gas analyzer. We are committed to working closely with our partners to deliver the best solution for the end-user.
There are several TDLAS solutions on the market, why choose Beamonics?
