Neutrongate Oy

NeutronGate Oy is a public limited company based in Finland. The company specializes in element analysis systems (EAS), which facilitate highly accurate content analysis in industrial raw material flow, or flow of other matter. The EAS developed by the company provides highly accurate and representative elemental analysis and moisture measurement real time and on-line at the factory production line. Our first customers are in Energy, Mining and Steel industry but analysis on almost any solid or liquid flow is possible. We also provide economical sample analysis for our clients. Founder of the company, nuclear physicist Hannes Vainionpää has extensive expertise in neutron technologies and various measurement methods. The backbone of the company's EAS lies in neutron activation analysis (NAA) and unique particle accelerator design that acts as the neutron source. The principle in NAA is that object is irradiated with neutrons. Once it becomes excited through neutron capture or inelastic scattering, we can detect the resulting decay radiation and analyze it to define the elemental composition and the structure of the object. This technology can be applied for many different applications.
