RELIABLE Trace Gas Detection for Battery Manufacturing

Simplify Battery Manufacturing with Process Insights Gas Analyzers

Battery manufacturing is changing fast to keep up with the growing need for energy storage and transportation. As electric vehicles and consumer electronics become more popular, making high-quality lithium-ion batteries is more important than ever. To meet this demand, manufacturers must run efficient, optimized processes.

One key part of this is detecting trace gases like oxygen (O₂), nitrogen (N₂), and moisture (H₂O). Even tiny amounts of these gases can lower battery quality and performance. That’s why it’s important to closely monitor gas levels during production to ensure product consistency and safety.

Process Insights offers advanced gas and liquid analyzers that provide real-time measurements. These tools help manufacturers spot problems early, improve yields, and run more efficiently at every stage of production.

We also know that strong quality control is essential. Our analyzers are built with proven technology that gives accurate results with zero cross-interference, so you can trust the readings for O₂, N₂, and H₂O.

Plus, our systems are low maintenance and easy to calibrate, which makes them perfect for busy production environments. With our global support network and industry knowledge, Process Insights helps you keep production running smoothly, reduce costs, and deliver reliable, high-quality batteries.

Why Trace Gas Detection Matters

In lithium-ion battery production, keeping out contamination is critical—from electrode preparation to final cell assembly. Our analyzers detect gas leaks or impurities at parts-per-million (ppm) levels, helping you catch issues early and protect product quality.

Protecting Battery Manufacturing with Process Insights Gas Analyzers

In lithium-ion battery production, controlling contamination is critical—from electrode fabrication to cell finishing. Process Insights gas analyzers play a key role in maintaining product integrity by detecting trace gas contaminants at the ppm level.

Key Benefits & Capabilities

  • Rapid Detection: Instantly alerts operators to dangerous gas contamination (O₂, N₂, H₂O), enabling swift corrective action.
  • Trace-Level Accuracy: Measures impurities at ppm levels to prevent product degradation and safety risks.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Online analyzers provide continuous data, supporting proactive quality control.
  • Contamination Prevention
      • Nitrogen & Oxygen can reduce battery performance and service life.
      • Moisture may lead to hydrofluoric acid formation, increasing the risk of thermal runaway.
  • Operational Efficiency:  Helps reduce downtime and operating costs through early issue detection and resolution.

      Process Insights solutions ensure consistent quality, safety, and performance across all stages of battery manufacturing.

      Our GUIDED WAVE™ analyzer systems make spectral measurements in both the UV/Vis and Near-Infrared (NIR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. When analytes produce overlapping peaks, we apply multivariate statistical models to uncover the relationships between the overlapping bands and the property of interest. The most commonly used modeling technique for this purpose is Partial Least Squares (PLS).

      In addition to full-spectrum measurements, we can also monitor specific parameters using a simpler filter photometer system. A photometer utilizes pre-selected filters (wavelengths) to focus measurements on the spectral regions of interest. This method is often employed for measurements such as color, water concentration, or binary mixtures.

      UV-Vis spectroscopy is highly effective for measuring various UV-Vis active compounds in both process and quality control environments. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the consistency and purity of materials used in NIR UV-VIS Process and Lab Analyzers EV and battery manufacturing processes. Specifically, UV-Vis spectroscopy helps measure chemical concentrations, chemical purity, and physical properties.

      Our GUIDED WAVE product line includes full scanning spectrometer systems capable of measuring multiple sample points. Additionally, we offer a filter photometer system that can measure two separate sample points.
