Újfajta intraband kaszkád lézeren alapuló moduláris felépítésű fotoakusztikus koncentráció-mérő műszer- a kedvezményezett neve: HOBRÉ Laser Technology Kft. által vezetett konzorcium
A projekt célja olyan mérőműszerek fejlesztése, amelyek alkalmasak gázminták kémiai összetételének, illetve a mintákban található szennyező-komponensek koncentrációjának nagypontosságú, valós idejű, automatikus mérésére. A projekt eredményeként két új PA műszercsalád prototípusa készül el, az egyik földgázipari, a másik orvosi diagnosztikai alkalmazásokra. A Hobré Laser Technology Kft. által kifejlesztett földgázipari műszer hozzájárul a biztonság növeléséhez, mivel segítségével ellenőrizhető, hogy a hálózatba kiadott földgáz megfelelő koncentrációban tartalmazza-e azt az ún. szagosító komponenst (THT), ami lehetővé teszi pl. a gázszivárgás érzékszervi detektálását. A földgázipari PA műszer jelentős szerepet játszhat a környezetszennyezés csökkentésében, a BTEX komponensek mérése révén. Ugyanennek a műszernek a földgázösszetétel mérésére történő alkalmazása lehetővé teszi a földgáz fűtőértékének új módszerrel történő meghatározását. |

A consortium which is led by Hilase Ltd. and also includes Videoton Holding ZRt, University of Szeged and the Pannon University (Veszprém) won a project (identifier: GOP-1.1.1-11-2012-0114) on “Development of a novel type of air-quality measuring instrument for real-time monitoring of the degree of aerosol hazard”. The project will last till middle of 2015 and Hilase aims to commercialise a photoacoustic instrument developed during this project and expects it to be one of its main business in the coming years.

From 2007 to 2010 Hilase was the consortium leader of the JEDLIK_AEROS "Development of instruments and methods, which contribute to the fulfilment of latest EU regulations for aerosol pollution in ambient air" project by the National Office for Research and technology.
From 2007 to 2009 Hilase participated in the project: "Development of novel type of photoacoustic gas detection systems based on the latest scientific result in photoacoustics" within the Kozma László program of the Hungarian Ministry of Education.
Between 2005 and 2006 Hilase Ltd. successfully completed the project: "Commercialization of photoacoustic gas detection and gas permeability measuring systems" (identification number: GVOP-3.3.1.-2004-04-0027/3.0) within the program: "Support of the innovative tasks of start-up and spin-off companies" of the Hungarian Ministry of Economy and Transport, co-financed by the European Union.
Our background
Hilase works in close cooperation with the University of Szeged and the Videoton Holding Zrt. The University of Szeged ensures the scientific background of the activities of Hilase, while Videoton Holding Zrt provides the engineering support for the company. Furthermore Videoton Holding Plc. has a production facility capable to produce photoacoustic instruments on a large scale in case it is required.

About our customers
A typical Hilase customer either interested in one of our already commercialised instruments (e.g. for measuring H2S and/or H2O in natural gas; for airborne measurement of atmospheric humidity on aircrafts or measuring atmospheric aerosols in an the NIR-VIS-UV wavelength range) or has a special measurement need in gas concentration monitoring, and seeks for a supplier, who is specialised in developing a highly reliable measurement method, builds a prototype and finally organises and accomplishes the mass production of the developed instrument.
About us
Hilase is specialised in developing, prototyping and producing instruments for measuring the concentration of gases or aerosols in various applications in accordance to the requirements of its costumers. Hilase already successfully completed commercialising an instrument family (Hilase-Ex) for the natural gas industry for measuring water vapour, hydrogen-sulphide and carbon-dioxide. The company also offers its measurement service in selected applications including
- gas permeability measurement of polymers,
- atmospheric water vapour and total water measuring instrument operable on research aircrafts,
- mobile environmental monitoring station for atmospheric aerosols measurements.
The operational principle of the Hilase instruments is laser based photoacoustic spectroscopy. The unique advantages of the method are its exceptionally wide measurement range, fast response, simplicity, robustness and its long term fully automatic and trouble-free operation. Hilase was founded in 2004. It is a spin-off company of the Department of Optics and Quantum Electronics, University of Szeged, Hungary. Photoacoustic gas detection is an active research field at the Department for more than two decades. Most of the employees of the company are experts in photoacoustics with either having a PhD or a diploma thesis based on photoacoustic R&D work. Hilase is a member of the Videoton group. Videoton Holding Plc. is the 23rd most considerable EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services) company in the world.
