Our Organizational Structure
Started in 1993 to develop detector tubes, detector strips and dosimeter tubes for phosphine, it has grown multifold over the years and has developing detector tubes for more than 120 different toxic gases and chemical vapors. The Division has also developed other type of chemical detectors like charcoal tubes, dissolved ion detector tubes, air flow indicator tubes, etc. The air sampling pump used with the gas detector tubes has also been developed here. It has an on-going R&D program for development of new chemical detectors needed by the industry.
The MSA Detector Tube division, acquired by UEPL in 2014, has been integrated with the existing manufacturing facilities to form an integrated manufacturing set-up for both the Uniphos and the KwikDraw gas detector tube lines.
Uniphos and KwikDraw gas detector tubes, manufactured using state of the art production facilities are sold all over the world and are acknowledged by the industry for their precision, accuracy, quality and price.
The Electronics Division, having state-of-the-art production facilities produces a wide range of electronic instruments. They include personal and portable gas monitors, fixed gas detection systems with smart gas sensors, UV/IR based fire detectors, breath alcohol analyzers, the full range of fumigation monitoring equipment, instruments for oil quality parameters, Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) for stack gases, Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System (AAQMS), Online COD, TOC and Cyanide Analyzers etc.
The Software & Hardware Development section of the Electric Division focuses on development of new circuits, PCB designs and also improvement of the existing circuits. It is also involved in the development of user friendly software for different products.
With the Sensor being the heart of all electronic gas detection instruments, Uniphos initiated a program of sensor development as early as 1996. Over the years Uniphos has developed Catalytic Combustion Sensors (Pellistors) for flammable gases and Electrochemical Sensors for many toxic gases like CO, H2S, Cl2, NO2, etc. This activity has grown into a separate division where the division produces electrochemical sensors, Pellistors and TCD’s meeting our own demand for sensors. Uniphos has an ongoing program for the development of new sensors. All electrochemical and flammable gas sensors are drop-in substitutes for commercially available sensors in the market.
Having developed various types of gas detection instruments using electrochemical and other sensors a new Division was formed for the development of a variety of other instruments, using various other techniques, for environmental monitoring and other analytical applications.
Some of the instruments developed in this Division for wastewater analysis are COD monitors, online TOC analyzers, online residual chlorine analyzers, online cyanide analyzers, water quality meters and chlorine demand analyzers.
Chemiluminescence based NOx analyzer and Optical Fluorescence based SO2 analyzer have been developed for ppb level detection of NOx & SO2 in ambient air. The above-mentioned techniques are endowed with high specificity and sensitivity. The same technology has been extended for stack gas analysis.
Non-Dispersive Infrared Spectroscopy offers an alternative method for the detection of many of the toxic gases in the stack or atmosphere, using infrared spectrum as the finger print of the target gas. NDIR based gas analyzers have been developed for NOx, SO2, CO, CO2, CH4, MBr, etc. A portable impinger-based air sampler and a portable non-dispersive spectrometer was developed for the TWA measurement of pollutants like SO2, NOx, Cl2, NH3 and O3 at PPB levels in the ambient air. This handy instrument is useful for ambient air quality monitoring applications.
Several non-dispersive spectrometers for the measurement of edible oil quality parameters like FFA & PV were developed. The division has an ongoing program for development of stack gas analyzers, stack dust analyzer, headspace O2 & CO2 analyzer and other sensitive spectroscopic instruments using different light sources, including lasers.
The Analytical Division of UEPL is equipped with several GCs, Spectrophotometers and other analytical and gas generation facilities, for providing analytical and calibration service to different divisions of UEPL. It also develops new analytical procedures / methods.
