GAS ANALYSIS - THE CORE OF OUR BUSINESS
Servomex is one of the world's largest specialistmanufacturers of gas analyzers and systems. Servomexsolutions are relied upon in research, development andprocess facilities spanning a diverse range of industriesfrom oil production to critical healthcare.
All Servomex analyzers are based on long life, reliablesensor designs and many of the analytical technologiesthat are now commonplace were originally introduced byServomex. These include magnetodynamic paramagneticoxygen analysis and hazardous area approved, on-line gasfilter correlation spectrometry.
Our experience in gas analysis, built over more than 50years, coupled with a detailed knowledge of its applicationin pharmaceutical development and manufacturing, is yourguarantee of safe operation of plant, product complianceand process efficiency.
MEETING YOUR APPLICATION NEEDS
Servomex understands that reliable, accurate measurement
provides faster scale up, higher yields, increased safety and easier
regulatory compliance. Our philosophy is to use only stable, long
life, low maintenance sensors in all our products; along with
hazardous area protection concepts that do not require purging.
This means reduced running costs, through fewer consumables and
less frequent calibration, coupled with higher measurement
performance.
Servomex currently produces class leading analyzers for:
� Oxygen and nitrogen purity
� Inerting
� Solvent recovery
� Thermal oxidizer control
� Continuous emissions monitoring
� Production process control
� Bioreactors and fermentation
� Portable spot checkingCUSTOMERS INCLUDE

TECHNOLOGY THAT STANDS AHEAD OF THE CROWD
By using a range of technologies Servomex is able to meet
pharmaceutical measurement challenges head on.
Oxygen Measurement (Magnetodynamic paramagnetic type)
Magnetodynamic paramagnetic measurement is acknowledged as
the safest and most accurate form of oxygen analysis. This
technique avoids the problems of electrochemical analyzers, which
can provide false readings when cell chemicals are depleted or
poisoned, and those of thermomagnetic analyzers, which are
affected by temperature variations and changes in background gas
composition.
Infrared Measurements (eg H2O in solvents, CEMS)
Servomex’s unique infrared source and chopper motor have been
developed over many years to minimize drift, maintenance and
running costs. Used with the single beam, dual wavelength
technique this provides a powerful approach which minimizes cross
interference and maximizes sensitivity.
Combustion Analysis (O2 and combustibles)
Incineration of solvents typically creates acidic gases which can
quickly destroy low cost in-situ analyzers. Servomex overcomes this
by using a rugged, close coupled, semi-extractive arrangement with
unique zirconia and thick film sensors.
EASING TODAY’S CHALLENGES, RISING TO TOMORROW’S
At Servomex we realize that an analyzer alone is not the answer to a
problem. Gas conditioning systems, multipoint sampling solutions
and full analyzer houses are regularly supplied, all backed by a
global network of skilled engineers.
As industry pressures for faster scale up increase, Servomex can
advise on units for pilot plants that use the same measurement
technologies as their process analyzers. This allows methods to be
tested and parameters defined before committing to a full process
standard solution.
In an industry with an ever increasing burden of documentation,
Servomex can also assist clients by providing IQ and OQ
documentation packages for certain analyzers.
Looking to the future, Servomex has a rigorous market research and
product development program, and considers customer input as
essential to the success of both. Combined with our people and our
technologies this ensures that Servomex will continue to deliver
exceptional solutions to the pharmaceutical industry.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
1 Nitrogen and oxygen production
2 Inerting of vessels and centrifuges
3 Inerting in granulating and coating machines
4 Safety monitoring of waste ducts
5 Incinerator combustion control
6 Incinerator emissions monitoring
7 Safety monitoring of carbon beds
8 Recovered solvent quality (moisture)
9 Monitoring of bioreactors
10 Packing room applications
Gas analysis is vital for the accurate control of a range of
safety or quality control processes. There are also a number
of process stages where efficiency can be optimized if
accurate data on gas compositions are available.
