Emerson Process Management, a leader in helping businesses automate their production, distribution and processing facilities in key industries, has announced that it has acquired Spectrex, a leading manufacturer of flame and open path gas detectors.

Following the acquisition, Emerson will have the most comprehensive line of flame, gas, and ultrasonic leak detector solutions used for safety monitoring in the industry, said a statement from the company.  

Spectrex will join the Rosemount portfolio of measurement and analytical technologies, it added.   

For nearly 34 years, Spectrex has been the leader in flame and open path gas detection. It 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.

Tom Moser, group vice president of measurement and analytical technologies, Emerson Process Management, said: “We are very excited about adding the Spectrex product line to our flame and gas detection portfolio.”

“Emerson is committed to helping our customers protect their employees, facilities, and the environment, and we are now better positioned to serve that need,” he said. – TradeArabia News Service
