Technologies and solutions to improve coal-fired power generation

Optimize processes, save costs, and achieve cleaner gas emission with the help of our real-time coal quality analyzers. Our instruments can provide continuous gas monitoring from boiler to stack for coal-fired power plant operation.

Air quality monitoring for mining operations

Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) help mining operations monitor toxic gases and comply with environmental standards. Our personal dust monitors help ensure the shift-average respirable dust exposure does not exceed regulatory limits.

Radiation detection and monitoring in mining

Our personal radiation detectors alert workers to potential radiation exposure at greater distances so they can respond quickly and decisively to real radiation threats. Our dosimeters monitor radiation exposure over time.

Service and support for bulk weighing, monitoring and sampling

We offer a wide selection of proactive, proven service options for bulk material handling systems. With our service team as your partner, you will have access to a global network of technical support experts, factory-certified engineers, consultants, and industry professionals to help realize high-uptime solutions.
