ABOUT THE COMPANY

Water is the basis of life. It is essential for nature, people, food production and economic development. The availability of sufficient clean water has become a societal issue all over the world. In our water-wise world research programme we work on the optimal organisation and management of the water cycle, with a circular economy as a key driver and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals in mind. Research at KWR is guided by our scientific vision, which is embodied in five research programmes.

MAIN BENEFITS
Cost and Space Savings.

Significant reduction of number of gas mixtures required for initial sensor characterization. Usually one mixture and balance gas is enough. Buying cylinders is expensive and limits the availability of mixtures that may be required. Gas cylinders are also large and often require special storage arrangements, as well as taking up valuable space.

Successful Achievement.

The MCQ gas blender is used for measurements of cross sensitivity of gas sensors to gases which might potentially occur in field application. Allowing on-demand, real time characterisation of sensors.

Flexibility and Compactness.

By using the MCQ gas blender it is possible to dial up a simulation of a mixture at any time, and to a certain degree, different concentrations of the blended gas mixture. Compact gas blending solution that can be used in many applications, easy to transfer and operate.

Software Automation.

Thanks to our Software PRO Version and its option “Automatic Program”, now the KWR can bring forward experiments in automation. Moreover Software is easy to operate (no need for long training of personel).

Gas Mixer vs. Gas Cylinder.

The ability to blend different gases on-demand is an incredibly powerful tool in the development of innovative gas detection equipment. And provides a level of flexibility that gas cylinders cannot provide. Mixing of gases allowing for analysis of sensor response over a wide range of concentrations.

Stable Flow and Repeatability.

Thanks to our revolutionary method every gas flow has a great stability as KWR can easily conduct repeatability tests that can be used to verify components quality.
