Gas detection · High tech and specialty gases
Semiconductor processing, research laboratories and specialty gas handling need detection far below the thresholds of industrial gas monitoring — and a supply relationship that keeps the consumables coming.
Where it is used
Honeywell's high tech portfolio covers toxic gas detection instrumentation for applications where the hazardous substances are harmful long before an industrial sensor would register them: semiconductor processing, photovoltaics manufacturing, industrial gas handling and storage, research laboratories and emergency response.
Three detection principles are used side by side. Chemcassette® tape-based systems measure at parts-per-billion level and leave a physical stain as evidence of the event. Infrared spectroscopy covers multi-point monitoring across many gases at one location. Electrochemical cartridges cover single-point detection where a full multi-point system would be oversized.
Systems and instruments
Honeywell Vertex™ Multi-Point — supplied and supported by VERTEX GmbH, Krefeld. The system provides precise, continuous detection of low-level toxic gases using Chemcassette® technology, with up to 72 points of simultaneous monitoring.
Honeywell Vertex™ Multi-Point Gas Monitoring System in detailVertex™ M is the middle tier of the Chemcassette® family: 8 to 24 points of continuous toxic gas monitoring at parts-per-billion level, for installations that need tape-based detection but not 72 measuring points.
Honeywell Vertex™ M and Vertex™ Edge in detailThe SPM Flex is a tape-based gas detection system for low-level toxic gas monitoring, engineered to detect gas at parts-per-billion level with an intuitive design suitable for clean rooms yet rugged enough for extreme outdoor environments.
SPM Flex in detailThe Midas® S2 is a fixed, extractive single-point gas transmitter for continuous monitoring of low-level toxic, flammable and oxygen gases in high-purity environments.
Midas® S2 and the Midas® family in detailThe ACM 150G2 is a centralised gas monitoring system using FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy. It monitors up to 40 points sequentially and can detect up to 15 gases per location.
ACM 150G2 in detailThe VC4 four-point Chemcassette® analyser and further configurations of the Chemcassette® range are available through us on request.
Please note
Honeywell Vertex™ is a product of Honeywell International Inc. VERTEX GmbH is the company that supplies and services it in Germany — an independent business registered in Krefeld in 2020 under HRB 17755. The two names are similar by coincidence, not by ownership.
In practice this is an advantage for the customer: the Honeywell Vertex™ Multi-Point system, delivered and supported by VERTEX GmbH, Krefeld, comes with the engineering, installation, calibration and consumable supply from the same contract partner.
FAQ
No, and the similarity of the names causes regular confusion. Honeywell Vertex™ is a multi-point gas monitoring system manufactured by Honeywell International Inc. VERTEX GmbH is an independent German company registered in Krefeld in 2020 under HRB 17755, which supplies, installs and services that system along with the rest of the Honeywell gas detection portfolio.
When the substances are toxic at parts-per-billion level and a reading alone is not enough. Chemcassette® tape reacts chemically with the target gas and leaves a stain, so an exposure event is physically recorded rather than only logged. This is the standard approach for hydrides, mineral acids and other specialty gases in semiconductor manufacturing and in research laboratories.
Honeywell Vertex™ covers up to 72 points and detects over 40 gas types, Vertex™ M covers 8 to 24 points, and the VC4 is a four-point analyser. For infrared multi-gas detection, the ACM 150G2 monitors up to 40 points sequentially with up to 15 gases per location. The point count is a consequence of the sampling concept, so it is decided together with the tubing layout and the required response time.
Consumables and discipline. Chemcassette® tapes, sampling tubing, filters and spare cartridges have to be available before they run out, calibration and functional testing have to happen on schedule, and the documentation has to hold up to a customer or regulatory audit. That continuing supply and service relationship is the part we contract for, not just the initial delivery.
