Public Profile

Process Instruments is focused to development of Raman spectroscopy instrumentation specifically for industrial process monitoring. The firm is focused on the design of state-of-the-art, affordable, frequency-stabilized, narrow-linewidth diode lasers and efficient, optically fast (f/2.0) spectrographs for use in industrial process control applications. The firm built out from a medical instrumentation company (Albion Instruments) founded to develop laser-based Raman scattering for real-time anesthesia monitoring. In 1990 the medical products company was sold. Process Instruments has its Raman systems in some of the largest refinery and petrochemical plants in the U.S. This equipment is being used to optimize the production of gasoline, chemicals, and polymers. We also work closely with pharmaceutical companies to develop Raman scattering technology for use in optimizing their manufacturing operations. The firm’s specialty is problem solving for industrial process control applications. The firm do not just sell Raman instrumentation and components, rather Raman instrumentation are used to solve critical process control problems. An ability to design our excitation lasers for any given wavelength (630 nm to 860 nm) allows tuning of the lasers for optimum Raman signal collection while avoiding unwanted fluorescence. In September 1990 Albion Instruments was acquired by Boc Health Care I
