Coffee has become a craft. Micro-roasteries, single-origin beans, direct trade and precise roast profiles have transformed a mass-market product into a technically sophisticated business. Origin, aroma and process control are scrutinized closely. What is often less visible is that roasting, degassing and storing coffee can release gases that create a real safety risk in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.

Hazardous gases rarely announce themselves in time. Many are colorless and odorless, and some are flammable, toxic or critical to the process. This makes them especially dangerous in industrial plants, because the risk can build up long before people notice anything.

smartGAS presents: TCDM & GD TCD – the latest generation of thermal conductivity detectors

The energy transition requires precise measurement technology. With our new thermal conductivity detectors, we are setting new standards in gas analysis – especially for the growing hydrogen economy.

Hydrogen is much more than just an energy carrier—it is a key building block for a climate-neutral future. As a versatile molecule, H₂ can store, transport, and release energy. This opens up completely new perspectives for industry, mobility, and energy systems. Whether as a fuel in fuel cells, as a raw material in chemical processes, or as a storage medium for electricity from renewable energies, hydrogen is considered a key element of the energy…

The EU has established that wastewater treatment plants emit significant quantities of nitrous oxide (N₂O), a gas with a greenhouse effect 300 times greater than CO₂. In order to monitor these emissions, a regulation was passed that obliges wastewater treatment plants to implement continuous measurement systems.
