TAS was formed in 1992 to support adoption of open path spectroscopy for industrial fenceline monitoring systems

TAS develops techniques, technologies, and systems to make research instruments more industry hardened and useful to monitoring systems.

TAS fielded the first permanent fenceline monitoring system using multiple open path technologies

The list of remote sensing innovations is long. and this remains the core of TAS business and a key differentiator from all other open path system integrators. None come close to the TAS experience and innovations. Optical remote sensors are coming of age. TAS is uniquely qualified to design. field. and manage optical remote sensing systems.

TECHNOLOGIES

Open path sensors provide a linear beam of light projected across a space to monitor hazardous gases moving across its line of sight. A path can range from less than a meter to over 800 meters to create a fence-like line of detection for emissions entering or leaving an area.

Open path sensors are highly versatile gas monitoring tools. Short path process and emissions monitors. longer small area monitoring, and long path large area and fenceline monitoring. Optical remote sensors can play many roles in process, safety, and emissions monitoring.

Various technologies of optical remote sensors are suited to a wide range of industrial chemicals. Infrared, ultraviolet, and near IR laser technologies are adaptable to many applications for safety, health, and emissions monitoring.

APPLICATIONS

Adoption of open path sensing technologies required development of relevant and effective methods. TAS developed and fielded the first real-time permanent open path application. TAS open path systems are in permanent mission and process critical operations throughout the Americas. Fielding. data collection, data use. and reliable maintenance of these systems is one TAS legacy.
