Imagine having a high-tech nose that can smell exactly what's happening inside a giant fermentation tank without ever getting clogged or dirty. It uses a special microchip to pull gases out of liquids and analyze them instantly. This lets operators see a chemical crash coming before it happens, rather than finding out after the system has already stopped working.
Biogas production is currently 30% below potential due to unexpected organic overloading in fermentation tanks. These failures cause production halts lasting from 3 weeks to several months.
The SI-LGA, a mass-spectrometer for industrial use featuring a patented microchip inlet and real-time quantification software.
If you are a biogas producer dealing with unexpected process failures that last from 3-6 weeks to several months — this project developed the SI-LGA analyzer that increases production yield by 5-15%.
If you are a pharma company dealing with the need for precise, real-time monitoring of fermentation reactions — this project developed a robust mass-spectrometer inlet that provides sub-second measurements in liquid media.
If you are a facility manager dealing with unstable biochemical reactions in wastewater treatment — this project developed a self-cleaning sensor that integrates live data directly into your SCADA control systems.
Based on available project data, specific unit pricing is not disclosed, although the company targets 55m in revenues within 5 years.
Yes, the system is designed for in-line industrial process applications and integrates directly into SCADA industrial monitoring and process control systems.
The technology is based on a patented microchip consisting of a membrane inlet system with an integrated vacuum and gas-handling system.
The solution provides live data integration into SCADA industrial monitoring and process control systems for real-time optimization.
The project aimed to move the technology from TRL6 prototypes to TRL9 and full commercialization by the end of the project period in March 2024.
The project is led by a single Danish SME, Spectro Inlets APS, which acted as the sole partner. This lean structure indicates a highly focused commercialization effort where the developer maintains 100% control over the IP and industrial application of the SI-LGA technology.
