A nitrogen sensor is a tool that gauges the amount of nitrogen gas present in a given environment or system. Nitrogen sensors come in a variety of forms, but they all essentially function by identifying modifications to a material’s electrical, optical, or physical properties brought on by the presence of nitrogen.
The electrochemical sensor is one sort of nitrogen sensor, and it works by using a chemical reaction to generate an electrical signal that is proportional to the amount of nitrogen gas present in the environment.
Another form is the optical sensor, which recognises when molecules of nitrogen gas absorb or emit light.
Agricultural, food-processing, and environmental monitoring businesses all frequently utilise nitrogen sensors. Nitrogen sensors can be used in agriculture to monitor soil nitrogen levels, enabling farmers to apply fertiliser more efficiently and increase crop yields.
By detecting the presence of nitrogen gas, which is frequently employed as a food preservative, nitrogen sensors in the food processing industry can be used to monitor the quality of packaged foods.
Researchers can analyse the effects of nitrogen pollution on the environment by using nitrogen sensors to assess air nitrogen levels during environmental monitoring.
Global nitrogen sensor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A free smartphone app developed by the fertiliser company Yara lets farmers estimate the amount of nitrogen their crops would need by taking pictures of the leaves on the plants.
Early growth stages of winter wheat, rapeseed, corn, and barley are when the YaraIrix system analyses chlorophyll levels. It provides a prompt recommendation for fertiliser dosage. Growers can apply a clip that covers the phone’s camera to transform it into a nitrogen sensor for later development stages.
Moreover, the new Yara N-Sensor ALS 2 is smaller than its predecessor in size. It was created by Yara, a Norwegian fertiliser business, and their strategic partner, Agricon GmbH.
A brand-new version of Yara’s N-Sensor ALS has been released. Highlights include variable angle and vertical measurement, integrated dew recognition technology, and reliable LED technology.
New nitrogen sensor using ALS technology was launched by Yara. Versatile angle and vertical measurement, integrated dew identification technology, and reliable LED technology are features.
Comparable to its predecessor, the new Yara N-Sensor ALS 2 is smaller in size. It was created by German-based Agricon GmbH and Norwegian fertiliser producer Yara together with other key stakeholders.
More compact and lightweight than its predecessor is the latest generation N-Sensor.
The device is now considerably simpler to put on a tractor’s roof, claims Agricon.The sensor heads may additionally be installed independently as an option.
This makes it possible to add sensor heads to spraying rods or the booms of pneumatic fertiliser spreaders. The N-Sensor ALS 2 system can also be upgraded with up to 8 additional sensor heads for a significantly wider measuring range.
Until recently, it was impossible to employ active sensor technology on crops that were wet with dew. The incorporation of dew recognition has changed that.
The system is operational 24/7 in all weather situations thanks to this technology. Along with performing angular measurements, the new Yara N-Sensor also makes it possible to perform vertical measurements.
This increases the system’s adaptability. For example, the N-Sensor can now be used in particular crops or test fields where working widths are constrained.
A technical challenge for an enhanced nitrogen sensor for septic systems was launched by the US EPA and its collaborators.
In order to assess the long-term operation of advanced septic systems, which are onsite wastewater treatment systems that remove nitrogen, participants in the challenge’s Phase I will need to design a nitrogen sensor.
The best entries will also get the ability to network with businesses, authorities, and sophisticated OWTS test facilities in search of future prototype funding.
Experts from the EPA and university engineering programmes, such as the New England Onsite Wastewater Training Programme at the University of Rhode Island, will evaluate the challenge, which will be handled by InnoCentive, EPA, and partners.
The 4-electrode Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) sensor, the NO2-B43F, was introduced by Alphasense Limited (UK). Both the “A” 20mm and “B” 32mm Series variants of this new sensor in Alphasense’s electrochemical product line are available.
The vast and well-established range of toxic gas sensor products is supplemented by this NO2 sensor. Original Equipment Manufacturers now have a replacement option for existing products for a variety of applications thanks to the new nitrogen dioxide sensor.
Resolution to 10 parts per billion is made possible by strong signal levels working in conjunction with a low zero current and the fourth electrode. The sensors can be used in portable safety instruments, stack gas analyzers, or sensing heads for fixed installation.
The sensors use cutting-edge catalyst technology and specialised filters for Ozone, NO, and other gases to minimise the impacts of a variety of common cross-interference gases while maintaining batch to batch uniformity and steady output.
The employment of the sensors in the most difficult conditions is made possible by their physical robustness. Only sensors that are performing according to specification are passed to the company’s unique ATAV (Alphasense Test and Validation) system, as is the case with all other Alphasense sensors.
This is done by using stabiliser racks to continually monitor each sensor during initial conditioning.
Every sensor has a serial number that is bar coded on it, and this number is matched up with the important operational features for each sensor. At the time of dispatch, this information can be made available to buyers, ensuring complete traceability.
