Micromem: Update on LIBS Project
April 27 2015 - 12:20PM
Micromem Technologies Inc. ("Micromem") ("the Company") (CSE:MRM)
(OTCQX:MMTIF) through its wholly owned subsidiary Micromem Applied
Sensor Technologies Inc. (MAST) is pleased to announce the
following update on its Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
("LIBS"), MEMs-based Sensor Solution project. Micromem previously
announced the acceptance of its LIBS prototype on November 12,
2014. Micromem has now completed the design and integration of a
microfluidic cell front-end ("MCF") to our patented sensor platform
for detecting wear materials in lubricating fluids. The MCF is
designed to be incorporated into our clients' current maintenance
network of wind turbines, marine vessels and construction equipment
with follow on for automobiles and heavy machinery. The entire unit
including the MCF will be approximately 50 cm3 or approximately the
size of a deck of cards.
The purpose of the MCF is to allow controlled lubricant to flow
past the laser target allowing for real time online analysis of
wear materials while the machinery is in operation. The MCF will
ensure that the lubricating fluid is continuously available to the
detector platform irrespective of vibration, orientation,
temperature and pressure. A video is available on our website which
shows the detector in operation with the resulting analysis in real
time (www.micromeminc.com/applications and
www.mastinc.com/applications (oil well sensor solutions/MEMs sensor
solution)). This analysis was derived by a blind sample sent by the
client where Micromem's technology accurately reported the
contaminants in the sample. From the triggering of the laser
through to the analysis and wireless transmission of the data all
occurred in less than 5 seconds.
This technology will enable our client to diagnose, in real
time, the condition of the lubricant with all of its customers
wirelessly. The ability to do this analysis in real time without
having to send in technicians or wait for a service interval will
allow for more efficient maintenance, less waste of lubricating
fluids being unnecessarily disposed of and more cost effective use
of materials. This is another example of how Micromem is working to
build and enhance the Internet of Things for its clients.
