Global concerns about energy security, greenhouse emissions and fuel costs are bringing international efforts to improve the efficiency of power production and usage across every world industry.

New instrumentation technologies are a vital part of the solution. Our sensors can offer unprecedented levels of control in the harshest of conditions. Fibre ^UK / Fiber ^US Optic sensors can go where even the best electronic sensors cannot go:

• Extreme temperatures of >1000C (1800F)
• Hostile / corrosive chemical environments
• High levels of electromagnetic interference
• Need for interrogation at a distance
• No electrical power available at the sensor head

Principal markets include:

Energy Production and Emissions Monitoring:
Enabling control in combustors, boilers, gas turbines, nuclear reactors, high temperature fuel cells. Analysis of exhaust streams, laser diagnostics, detection of gas species.

Transport
Advanced control of gas turbine, diesel and automotive engines, avionic emissions monitoring; high temperature controls in noisy electromagnetic environments. Advanced avionic sensors and systems

Safety Systems, Process and Equipment Control:
High temperature equipment health monitoring (temperature, vibration).
