Duvas Technologies Limited - Development Of Prototype - Portable Gas Analyser For Oil & Gas Industry

Duvas成立于2008年4月，旨在开发和商业化一种新的多物种气体分析仪。该技术允许高度特异性的紫外指纹识别，可以识别许多关键气体，这些气体要么是其他技术无法测量的，要么是无法在单个设备中测量的。该技术的独特优势包括能够在一个具有成本效益的紧凑型单元内进行多个物种的准确实时气体分析，该单元可以部署在固定，移动的或便携式基础上。核心技术开发迄今为止一直集中在AQM市场，但Duvasnow希望扩展到石油和天然气（O&G）行业，这将打开一个更大的全球市场机会。为了解决O&G市场，Duvas需要开发一种原型现场便携式气体分析仪，市场研究表明，与需要重新设计的光学配置的现有AQM市场设备相比，这将需要在尺寸和重量上减少50%。重要的是，O&G行业在潜在的易燃环境中还需要非常高的安全标准，因此任何设备都不应有任何火花或其他液体/气体点燃的风险（ATEX认证）。O&G现场便携式气体分析仪将允许更快地识别气体泄漏，这将直接带来健康和安全效益。如果存在致癌化学品，炼油厂停工时间也会产生经济影响。对于英国，以及Duvas的额外工作岗位，我们打算在英国制造这些装置，并将潜在的制造商缩小到两个，一个在英格兰，一个在苏格兰。O&G产品的成功将创造一个小型但高技能的工厂，该项目的目标是为油气市场开发一种现场便携式气体分析仪，这对公司的商业成功至关重要。

Duvas was established in April 2008 to develop and commercialise a new multi-species gasanalyser.The technology permits highly specific ultraviolet fingerprinting which allows for theidentification of many key gases, which other technologies either simply cannot measure, orthat cannot be measured in a single device. The unique strengths of the technology include theability to carry out multiple species accurate real-time gas analysis within a single costeffectivecompact unit, which can be deployed on either a fixed, mobile, or portable basis.Core technology development has to date been focussed on the AQM market, however Duvasnow wishes to expand into the oil & gas (O&G) industry, which opens up a significantlylarger global market opportunity.In order to address the O&G market, Duvas needs to develop a prototype field portable gasanalyser, which market research has indicated will require a 50% reduction in size and weightfrom the existing AQM market device requiring a re-designed optical configuration. Asimportantly, the O&G industry also requires very high safety standards given the potentiallycombustible environment, such that any equipment should not risk cause of any sparking orother ignition of liquids / gases (ATEX certification).The O&G field portable gas analyser will allow faster identification of gas leaks that will leaddirectly to health and safety benefits. There are also economic implications in terms ofrefinery downtime should carcinogenic chemicals be present.For the UK, as well as additional jobs at Duvas, we intend to manufacture the units in the UKand have narrowed down potential manufactures to two, one in England and one in Scotland.The success of an O&G product will create a small, but highly skilled, number ofmanufacturing jobs.The objective of this project is to develop a field portable gas analyser for the O&G market,which is important to the commercial success of the company.
