The
Company Proengin is French developer and manufacturer of biological
and chemical warfare agents detection systems based on flame spectrometry.
Proengin is the only company using this technology to manufacture field
usable chemical and biological detectors. |

Proengins
designs and markets chemical and biological warfare agents detection
systems or industrial toxic products. AP4C family detectors allow a
reliable and immediate alarm in case of attack or accident and the rapid
set-up of protection measures. Proengin detectors are in service in
Armed Forces, Civil Defense , Police and customs organisations of more
than 45 Countries. Visit Proengin at Eurosatory Hall 5 Stand J808 |

Proengin’s first activities in the seventies were mainly studies of special products for the French Ministry of Defense. Several products were developed related to production of energy, monitoring of gas within submarines and production of hydrogen. In the eighties, the French ministry of defense, through the Centre d’Etudes du Bouchet has decided to develop a new chemical warfare agents detector. The technology to use was the flame spectrophotometry. |

CHEMICAL
DETECTION |
||||
Proengin
has developed biological and chemical warfare agent field detectors
using flame spectrophotometry. The well-known and world widely used
AP2C has proven the capacity of that technology to be the most reliable
on the field with the lowest false alarm rate and the simplest ease
of use.
The new extended rage field handheld chemical detector AP4C. New developments such as the AP4C have extended the capacity of that technology to include chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial material in a simultaneous mode. There is no limitation in number of gas detected by the AP4C. All nerve agents, all blister agents and all blood agents can be detected by AP4C within the requirements of response time and sensitivity of NATO recommendations. The AP4C has extended the range of chemicals that can be detected by Proengin chemical detectors. All dangerous compounds containing Sulfur, Phosphorous, Arsenic and/or HNO chemical bond can be detected in a simultaneous way. AP4C has the capacity to work in very severe environmental conditions (explosive areas) and the measurements are unaffected by high humidity levels or by the presence of other organic chemical compounds such as paint. The AP4C technology allows the simultaneous detection of an unlimited number of gases and the identification of the chemical elements that constitute these chemicals. It is therefore possible to detect impure agents or chemicals manufactured by terrorists that would not fit into traditional libraries of other detectors. Moreover AP4C will detect without upgrade new agents that will be developed in the future, as well as still not precisely known agents like Novichok agents (or Non Traditional agents). The
response time is among the shortest on the market, but what makes the
AP4C unique is the recovery time after a positive detection. |

AP4C-V for use on reconnaissance vehicles and battle tanks Based
on the same detection technology and the same internal design, air entrance
has been designed to face high wind: AP4C-V is able to take in representative
sample of the outside air, even with a direct cumulated wind and speed
of 100 km/h. Data are shown on easy to understand control box or directly
on the control computer of the vehicle. |

AP4C-F for use aboard naval ships At sea, ANEP-57 recommendations stipulate the availability of both fixed and mobile means of chemical detection. As AP4C is the perfect mobile chemical detector for contamination control, the use of AP4C-F provides the naval ships with reliable and efficient chemical detection. This ruggedized detector shows the same detection performances as the AP4C, with 2 supplementary features. It produces its consumable gas by electrolysis, thus lightening daily maintenance, and more than an alarm, is able to trigger the ventilation of the vessels, thus protecting the citadel from the chemical danger. The AP4C-F is able to be operated on open deck, with the same performances. AP4C-F for critical buildings and areas protection National palaces, courts and parliaments are more and more equipped with fixed chemical detectors. AP4C-F, being able to be operated on naval citadels, is of course able to provide the same detection and protection on terra firma, for this kind of critical buildings. |

DETECTION |

The
MAB, a new generation of biological field detector.
MAB has the unique capacity of detecting and categorizing biological particles with a proven extremely low false alarm rate and the unique capacity to discriminate dangerous or suspicious biological particles such as Anthrax spores from natural background. The very liable MAB has been designed to be mounted on track vehicles. It is insensitive to diesel exhausts. As all Proengin products and thanks to the flame spectrophotometry technology, MAB is running in very severe outside conditions, shows the lowest false alarm rates (negative and positive) and requires reduced maintenance. It shows such a high level of availability. |

AP4C-FB
for critical buildings and areas protection Government premises, courts and parliaments are also more and more equipped with fixed chemical and biological detectors. AP4C-FB combines both chemical detection as for the AP4C-F, and biological alarm as for the MAB. This detector may be associated with a radiological probe, featuring the all in one full CBRN detector. |
