Greater Accuracy

Proven NDIR Gas Detection Technology

The EMIA-Pro Carbon/Sulfur Analyzer utilizes the infrared method to measure the carbon and sulfur content of a sample after combustion in an induction furnace. It leverages HORIBA's reliable Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) measurement technology, providing a measurement range optimized for carbon from 1.6 ppm to 6.0% and for sulfur from 2 ppm to 1.0%. The analyzer features a unique CO detector and can be utilized for a wide range of inorganic materials, including steel, cokes, catalysts, non-ferrous alloys like aluminum, and lithium-ion battery materials.

Flexible Upgrade after Installation

Customer has the option to expand the functionality of the EMIA-Pro system at any time, even after installation, depending on their specific needs:

  • Purifier Unit for carrier gas (for C Analysis) - Enables measurement of ultra-low carbon concentration with high accuracy by eliminating hydrocarbon impurities in the carrier gas.
  • Auto Sampler Unit - Able to accommodate up to 20 positions.
  • Halogen Trap Unit - Helps remove halogen elements in the sample to prevent damage to the device.

 


 

Improved Measurement and Maintenance Efficiency

Substantial Reduction in Maintenance

Along with the EMIA-Pro's cleaning feature, HORIBA has developed a robust design with fewer components for more reliable use and less service requirements.

 

The latest innovations have enabled the cleaning time for the EMIA Series to be typically half that of our conventional models (patent applied for*). Additionally, the structure around the combustion area has been designed to be as simple as possible, allowing for quick and intuitive maintenance. Specialized skills or knowledge are not required for maintenance work.

 

Flat design around the crucible stand    

 

The cleaning efficiency of the EMIA Series instruments has been significantly improved compared to our conventional Carbon/Sulfur analyzers with the use of a unique automatic cleaning mechanism (patent applied for*). This allows users to repeat measurements up to 200 times**, with reduced time required for maintenance and cleaning, without sacrificing measurement accuracy.

High Throughput

The EMIA Series can complete one measurement cycle, measurement-display result-cleaning, in 70 seconds (i.e. about 50 samples/hour).

 


 

More Intuitive Software for Easy Operation

Advanced Operation Software

The EMIA Series features its own proprietary operating software, which has been designed with a focus on ease of use, optimizing layout, operating menus, and functions for enhanced user-friendliness.

 

Enhanced Operator Assistance

Additionally, the software includes a self-diagnostic monitoring feature to assess the status of connected devices, an alarm function, and three navigators to recommend the most suitable conditions for samples, troubleshoot errors, and alert users to perform maintenance. These features improve daily operation and ensure efficient analysis.

Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon Analysis in Nuclear Fuels
Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon Analysis in Nuclear Fuels
From the perspective of ensuring energy security and reducing CO2 emissions, the use of nuclear energy is attracting worldwide attention. A joint declaration was also released by 25 countries setting forth a cooperation policy toward the ambitious goal of tripling the world's nuclear power generation capacity by 2050 compared to 2020 levels. The safety of nuclear fuel as well as the improvement of fuel performance is extremely important, and the content of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon must be strictly controlled in nuclear material performance.
Analysis of ultra-trace amounts of sulfur in metal
Analysis of ultra-trace amounts of sulfur in metal
As the steel materials are becoming more sophisticated, such as natural gas or crude oil pipeline, sulfur content is recommended below 0.5 ppm. Hence, more accurate ultra-trace amount sulfur analysis is required. Analysis of trace amount of sulfur in steel materials can be done quickly with the conventional combustion-infrared absorption method, but the problem is that the sensitivity of the detector is insufficient and it can not be measured.
Purity Analysis in Precious Metal Recycling
Purity Analysis in Precious Metal Recycling
While precious metals such as Au, Ag, Pt, and Pd are finite materials, they are essential for electronic components and functional materials. Therefore, it is important to separate and extract the necessary precious metals from the final products and recycle them as high-purity precious metals in order to secure resources and reduce costs. Impurities, which must be controlled, include light elements such as carbon, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. For example, Au (gold) used in electronic devices must be at least 99.999% pure.
