Infrared sensor for furnace gases Techint Goodfellow Technologies Inc (TGTI) has signed a licensing agreement with Professor Murray J Thomson and Salvador Rego Barcena, of the University of Toronto, to commercialise a new infrared emission spectroscopy optical sensor for real-time measurement of combustion gases including CO, CO 2 and temperature, emitted from an industrial furnace. The new passive sensor measures the gas composition and temperature remotely by analysing the infrared emission spectrum emitted from the furnace – and at a significantly faster rate than the existing technology. Unisearch Associates Inc will exclusively manufacture the new technology. This collaborative effort was made possible through the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) whose mandate is to facilitate partnerships between research and development initiatives and industry for successful commercialisation of cutting edge technologies.
