Our team: measurement technology for climate protection from Herten
Behind our process measurement technology are people from development, production, lab, service, sales, purchasing and administration – and Tory, our digital colleague. Hover over the picture and get to know us.

Herten, Ewald colliery
From coal mining to measurement technology for climate protection
Where coal used to be mined, we now develop and build process measurement technology: for biogas plants, wastewater treatment, recycling and emission monitoring. Structural change in the Ruhr area, made tangible – and work that makes a difference.

Technology that makes methane, nitrous oxide and emissions measurable
Roots back to 1848 – Fresenius Instruments since 1992
Development, production, lab and service work under one roof in Herten.
From measuring principle to finished device
This is where new process measurement technology is created: electronics, firmware and software – from the NDIR measuring principle to the user interface. AI helps with design and simulation.
Our service team maintains, calibrates and repairs gas measuring devices – in our Herten workshop and with partners worldwide, also for devices from other manufacturers.
Team spiritWhen things get tight, everyone lends a hand – from apprentices to management.
Friendly with each otherWe greet each other, listen and laugh together – within the team and with our customers.
Short distancesDevelopment, production, lab and service in one building – decisions are made quickly.
ResponsibilityEvery device is tested and calibrated before delivery. ISO 9001 sets the frame.
Curiosity and AIWe try out new tools – with AI training for everyone.
Meaningful workOur measurement technology supports climate protection – in biogas, wastewater, recycling and emissions.

Diversity Charter
Diversity makes us strong
Since August 2024 we have been a signatory of the Diversity Charter. What counts for us is the quality of ideas and work – not origin, gender, age or background. As early as 1908, the Fresenius laboratory opened its training to women.
Women in STEMin training since 1908 – today in lab, administration and sales
Decent work, education, gender equality and climate action: we support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – as an employer and with our measurement technology. Pick a highlighted goal.

Measuring CO₂, CH₄, N₂O and CFCs
SDG 13 — Climate Action
What isn't measured can't be reduced. Our CEMS and emissions monitoring systems capture climate-relevant gases continuously: CO₂, CH₄ and NO built on the GA210/GA220 analyzers, the highly climate-active nitrous oxide (N₂O) with the GA320, and highly climate-damaging fluorinated greenhouse gases such as CFCs/HFCs (halocarbons). They provide the data basis operators need to record, report and actively cut their emissions — from industrial plants to biogas facilities.
Raw and product gas quality monitoring
SDG 7 — Affordable and Clean Energy
Renewable gases need precise analytics. We measure the quality of both the raw biogas and the upgraded product gas (biomethane) — from CH₄, CO₂ and H₂S to further trace gases — ensuring stable processes, higher yields and grid-compliant gas quality. We additionally monitor solvents in battery production, supporting a key technology of the energy transition.
So we protect nature in all its richness
SDG 6 — Clean Water and Sanitation
Wastewater and sewage plants produce digester gas — a valuable energy source that can also contain toxic components. Our analyzers monitor not only CH₄ and H₂S but further biogas components such as CO₂, NH₃ and siloxanes, while tying the plants into emissions monitoring at the same time. This protects staff, equipment and the environment and makes digester gas safe to use — so we protect nature in all its richness.
Air quality and workplace safety
SDG 3 — Good Health and Well-Being
Clean air at the workplace is a basic right of our employees and customers. We measure formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as a wide range of toxic gases. This data helps companies comply with limits, detect exposure early and safeguard healthy working and production environments.
Clean air in cities
SDG 11 — Sustainable Cities and Communities
Clean air in urban areas starts with controlled emissions. Our CEMS and ambient-air technology monitors exhaust streams from industry, power plants and municipal facilities, providing robust data for clean-air plans and regulatory reporting. Gas measurement thus supports livable cities and healthy living environments.
Efficient processes, long service life
SDG 12 — Responsible Consumption and Production
Resource efficiency starts in the process. Continuous gas analysis in production helps run processes more stably, avoid rejects and save energy and raw materials. Combined with long-lasting equipment — our analyzers are designed for a long service life and years of spare-parts supply — we reduce resource consumption and waste.
Process analytics + Cloud Connect
SDG 9 — Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Digital, precise processes are the core of modern industry. Our process analytics and the Cloud Connect Kit make gas analysis data available in real time — for remotely monitored plants, automated diagnostics and data-driven process optimization. We combine proven measurement technology with digital innovation.
Global partner network
SDG 17 — Partnerships for the Goals
Sustainability only succeeds together. Through our global partner program we build a network of qualified sales and service partners who distribute and support our analyzers with local expertise. Together we bring measurement technology to where it cuts emissions and makes processes more sustainable.
Development that pays off
SDG 4 — Quality Education
Expertise only grows when it is deliberately fostered. We invest in the training and development of our employees, finance professional qualifications and continuously expand professional, methodological and social skills — because personal growth is the foundation of our mutual success.
Diversity Charter signed
SDG 5 — Gender Equality
Diversity is lived practice for us: by signing the Diversity Charter we commit to a corporate culture defined by mutual recognition and participation. The fact that the Chemisches Laboratorium Fresenius opened its training programme to women as early as 1908 is an early testimony to this ethos — and to this day we actively advance gender equality and equal opportunity.
Fair work, long-term partnerships
SDG 8 — Decent Work and Economic Growth
Safe, fair and appreciative working conditions are the basis for economic success. As an employer with local and international suppliers, we are committed to the sustainable development of our region and of culturally diverse economic centers worldwide — carried by a culture of recognition and participation.
Participation and equal opportunity
SDG 10 — Reduced Inequalities
Participation must not depend on background. With the Diversity Charter and an active culture of advancement we make room for different perspectives, life paths and talents — internally and across our international partner network. In this way we reduce inequalities and strengthen equal opportunity.
Regular support for the regional food bank
SDG 2 — Zero Hunger
Hunger often starts on our own doorstep. We support the food bank in our region with regular donations so it can buy exactly what it needs — a concrete contribution against hunger and for people in difficult situations.
