A Brief History
Atmosphere Recovery, Inc. (ARI) was incorporated in Minnesota in 1994 to research, develop and produce systems for recovery, reprocessing and reuse of high temperature industrial furnace and refining process gas.
The aim was to produce a system to contain the off-gases of a furnace process to reduce energy use and nearly eliminate off-gas air emissions.
Funding for the initial system prototype was provided by Dana Corporation (a first-tier automotive components supplier) and the U.S. Department of Energy.
From 1994 through 1997 ARI invented, developed and operated a full scale prototype of its proprietary technology for recovery and recycling of heat treating furnace atmosphere exhausts. The system reduced process air emissions more than 96% and saved more than 25% of the process energy.
The project showed that rapid and reliable gas sensing was key to operating a process of this type. From 1997 through 1999 ARI adapted a medical gas sensor and tested its operation as a production gas sensing system. With extensive modification this product became ARI's Laser Gas Analyzer.
During the same period ARI tested its process gas control systems approach and developed technology to improve the speed and quality of furnace-related processes through gas blending.
ARI is located in the Minneapolis suburb of Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
ARI Products
ARI has a full range of process gas management and control products for Industrial applications.
Laser Gas Analyzer and Controller
The LGA and Controller monitors and controls eight or more gas species using Raman Spectroscopy.
Systems are custom built and come in several configurations:
Batch Furnace Multi-gas Process Analyzer System
Multi-zone Furnace Multi-gas Process Analyzer System
Transportable Multi-gas Process Analyzer System
Bioprocess Multi-gas Analyzer System
Gas Analyzer for Power Plant Applications
Pressure Monitoring System
Pressure monitoring is available for 8-16 points with a range of 0-100 PSI. The monitor uses 1/8’’ stainless steel tubing and PC software is provided for recording pressure data through an RS232 connection. Contact ARI for more information.
Temperature Monitoring System
Temperature monitoring is available for 8-32 points for type K thermocouples. The monitor is provided with PC software to track and record temperature data through an RS232 connection. Contact ARI for more information.
Sampling Systems
ARI offers automated gas sampling systems to connect a gas source within a process to an on-line analyzer system. Gas filters are available to remove particulates greater than 1 micron.
Gas Blending Controller
ARI’s Laser Gas Analyzer and Controller is integrated with the required valves and process supply gases to provide accurate blending of gases for industrial applications. Closed loop control of the blended gases and continuous process monitoring provide the most accurate picture of complex gas processes. Contact ARI for details.
Variable Capacity Industrial Air Conditioner
ARI’s Industrial Air Conditioner is designed to accurately control enclosed process spaces to ±0.5F. Evaporator and condenser fan speeds are continuously variable throughout their range. Typical air conditioner size is 1400BTUH. |
