Instrumatic

What Instrumatic does

Instrumatic is a privately held Danish environmental monitoring instrumentation company founded circa 1984 and headquartered in Ry, Denmark, operating through two legal entities—Instrumatic EMI A/S and Instrumatic Marine A/S—with sister brands OXYDAN and GreenMatic. The company employs 1-10 people and serves industrial operators, marine/shipping operators, energy companies, research institutions, and testing/inspection organizations across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, with stated intent to build a worldwide partner network. Its named customer base includes A.P. Møller-Mærsk, Ørsted, Vattenfall, Rockwool, HOFOR, Eurofins, FORCE Technology, DGC, and a roster of Nordic universities.

The technical core combines proprietary OXYDAN DP7900 dilution-probe sampling with fourth-generation ABB OA-ICOS laser absorption spectroscopy analyzers to form the UP-CEMS (Ultraportable Continuous Emission Monitoring System), targeted at CO2, CH4, and related emissions from marine engines and industrial stacks, including LNG-fueled applications where FID/HFID methods can overstate CH4 by more than 50%. Instrumatic also holds Nordic representation rights for Tekran mercury monitoring, LI-Ca soil/water flux systems, KUNAK air quality monitoring, and FAI Instruments ambient air monitoring, with measurement traceability to DFM and PTB. Recent product additions include the MIU-8 multi-point sampling module and the ABB OA-ICOS Triple-Isotope Nitrate analyzer.

Instrumatic makes money primarily through direct hardware sales of proprietary and represented CEMS instruments and customized monitoring systems, supplemented by regional distribution margins on third-party brands. GTM is enterprise field-sales led in the Nordics, with explicit pursuit of OEM, licensing, and channel-partner arrangements targeting CCS providers, abatement developers, and new-fuel technology organizations. The company is founder/management-controlled with no disclosed venture or institutional investment, and has not raised external funding.

Core offering

Instrumatic develops, manufactures, and distributes high-precision emission monitoring instruments for marine, industrial, energy, and research applications. The company combines its proprietary OXYDAN DP7900 dilution sampling technology with ABB OA-ICOS laser analyzers to deliver the UP-CEMS continuous emissions monitoring system for marine scrubber compliance. Instrumatic also represents and distributes leading international brands including Tekran (mercury monitoring), LI-Ca (soil and water flux), KUNAK (air quality), and FAI Instruments (ambient air monitoring) across the Nordic region.

Product overview

Instrumatic is an environmental monitoring instrumentation company that operates as both a manufacturer of proprietary emissions monitoring products and a regional representative for multiple international brands. The core product portfolio centers on the UP-CEMS (Ultraportable Continuous Emissions Monitoring System) combined with the proprietary OXYDAN DP7900 Dilution Probe, forming a complete greenhouse gas monitoring solution for marine and industrial applications. The company represents and distributes internationally-manufactured environmental monitoring equipment including ABB OA-ICOS laser-based gas analyzers for greenhouse gas and isotopic analysis, Tekran mercury monitoring instruments, LI-Ca soil flux and carbon measurement systems (PS9000, PS3010, PS3020, LI-2100, SF-3500), KUNAK air quality monitoring systems, and FAI Instruments ambient air pollution monitoring equipment. The products work together through shared technology platforms—the ABB OA-ICOS analyzer integrates with LICA soil measurement systems, while the UP-CEMS system supports modular expansion through the MIU-8 Multiport Inlet Unit and optional measurement modules for NOx, SO2, N2O, NH3, and CO.
