Emerson has acquired Spectrex, a manufacturer of flame and open path gas detectors. With this addition, Emerson Process Management will have the comprehensive line of flame, gas, and ultrasonic leak detector solutions used for safety monitoring.
Spectrex has developed the world’s first ultraviolet-infrared (UV/IR) and triple infrared (IR3) flame detectors and was first to introduce xenon flash lamps in open path detector design, increasing detectors’ resilience to atmospheric conditions while reducing power consumption. These innovative advancements in safety monitoring provide a powerful solution for customers in the oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical and power industries.
Spectrex and its staff are located in Cedar Grove, N.J., with sales and technical support offices in Houston, the United Kingdom, and Taiwan.
