ABB celebrates 85 years of the technology that revolutionized emissions monitoring

URAS was the first gas analyzer to inspect the composition of gases in real time leveraging infrared measurement technology.

ABB celebrates 85 years of the technology that revolutionized gas analysis and emissions monitoring in chemical plants and refineries, the pulp, paper and metal industries, power generation, cement, and others.

When launched in 1938, URAS was known as the first “ultra red absorption recorder” (in German, Ultra Rot Absorptions Schreiber), a continuous gas analyzer capable of instantly measuring the concentration of more than 100 gases through infrared spectroscopy (light absorption technology).

How instrumentation powers the Circular Water Economy

In recent years, instrumentation technology has been at the forefront of powering the Circular Water Economy, enabling more efficient and sustainable water management practices.

What if we could use water in a way that waste and pollution were never created in the first place? This is what the Circular Water Economy (CWE) is about, a concept with huge potential impact on water sustainability compared to the Traditional Water Economy. The Circular Water Economy is built on the so-called six Rs: "Reduce," "Reuse," "Recycle," "Reclaim," "Recover...
