IMA Ltd is a specialist company providing expert services to its clients. Established in 1991, IMA Ltd initially specialized in humidity and moisture measurement and has developed rapidly year upon year to provide a wealth of expertise in other areas such as Hygrometry/ Moisture, Watercut/ Oil in Water, Hydrogen Sulphide and Process Gas analysis systems. IMA Ltd supplies Hygrometers, Trace Dewpoint Meters, Relative Humidity Analysers, and Moisture in Solids Analysers to all corners of the industry. For the oil industry we offer the Delta C Watercut analyser, AKA Water in Oil analyser or WIO analyser. For produced water discharge we supply UV fluorescence Oil in Water Analysers that are typically used in PPM oil in water discharge. We also supply a range of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) measurement system for a variety of applications including: Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ammonia (NH3), Nitric Acid (NO), Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), Ethylene Oxide (ETO), Hydrofluoric Acid (HF), Methane (CH4), Oxygen (O2) and many more.
We are pleased to offer a range of Calidus gas and liquid chromatographs (GC) from Falcon, which are both innovative and cost-effective, providing an ideal solution for measurement, control and automation. The combination of accuracy, high performance and speed means increased productivity and profit across a range of industries, including hydrocarbon processing, oil and gas exploration and production, food and beverage and environmental industries. All the Calidus GCs deliver results 10 to 50 times faster than traditional GCs. The range boasts flexibility too – a simple operation of one switch enables the operator to easily change from gas to liquid samples.
Leading the way in oil in water measurements, the innovative EX100 from Advanced Sensors was the first water pollution analyser that did not need regular routine maintenance. Today, both the EX-100 and the EX-1000 monitor water pollution using a laser induced UV fluorescence technique which resulted in this breakthrough. Both models are ideal for measuring oil in water levels before discharge or re-injection and can monitor from low ppb (parts per billion) to 20,000 ppm (parts per million) of oil. The EX-1000 has an integrated spectrometer so that different oil contamination types can be identified and alerts the user to any changing conditions. In the 9 years since their introduction, these Advanced Sensors systems have successfully operated in hazardous areas without maintenance, continuously making accurate, reliable and repeatable measurements.
The Advanced Sensors HD-1000 handheld water pollution analyser enables users to easily take speedy measurements in water feeds, water return outlets or in rivers and seas. The probe can measure directly in water samples, pipes or flows and provides real time measurement. A full spectral analysis gives complete and reliable oil type identification and chemical identification, which represents an innovative and ground-breaking step forward in water pollution analysis. Head to our website where you can see a video of the HD-1000 handheld water pollution analyser.

This high precision reference standard hygrometer from MBW Calibration is used to measure the dew point, or frost point, of gases. Precise and accurate measurements of humidity are achieved by controlling the temperature of a polished mirror. A light-sensitive detector measures the thickness of condensation on the surface of the mirror. Thermo-electric coolers (or a peltiers device) are used to cool the mirror until the temperature at which condensation occurs is reached. The MBW373 reference standard hygrometer provides a rapid response time without affecting either stability or accuracy. There is a detailed data sheet for this device available on our website.

Regular and effective maintenance is crucial to ensuring high production rates and lower maintenance costs. We offer a variety of maintenance contracts to suit your requirements. When you schedule regular maintenance calls your systems become a high priority for call-outs. We understand the importance of maintaining production as much as possible in the event of equipment failure and we endeavour to fix the fault with a minimum of interruption. A maintenance contract with IMA will help to reduce emergency call-outs and give you considerable peace of mind. All our engineers are fully trained and experienced in maintenance work. We can also provide remote technical support as needed.
When you purchase any new system, there is still work to be done to ensure that it is performing as efficiently and effectively as possible. We can help you to achieve set-up that is to the manufacturer’s specifications. Further, optimising the measurement systems to your unique requirements will produce the best possible and most accurate results. We provide a short commissioning report after the system has been checked. You can discuss your commissioning requirements with one of our experts by phone or by using our on-line contact link.
It is no surprise that with over 20 years of experience IMA are experts in systems integration and sample let-down design.

Contact details are on our website.
If you want to reduce operational costs and thereby increase profits, process optimisation is a splendid tool. When you invest in getting greater efficiency from your processes you will soon see an excellent return. At IMA, we specialise in de-humidification, drying, separating and de-sulphurisation processes, which makes us the ideal people to come to to optimise your processes and get the best possible results from your system. We can provide a short study that could result in significant cost reductions. We will investigate the effect of contamination on process fluids, optimising systems and lowering maintenance costs. Call and speak to one of our experts or contact us on-line.
We can provide a service to determine if your process is or is not humidity dependent. Our knowledgeable engineers can perform studies which will indicate whether or not an analysis system is required. If the studies indicate that an analysis system is needed, our experts can suggest sampling and measurement options. Several solutions are available, including undertaking a series of test measurements or taking a look at your process with a view to improving process efficiency. We suggest you speak to or contact one of our experts on line to discuss your requirements and learn about all the options available.
Off the shelf systems are not suitable in all applications and it is therefore sometimes preferable to develop measurement and analysis systems specific to an individual customer’s precise requirements. We look at a number of ways in which development can take place. In some cases, new technologies from other industries can be applied successfully. If there is no suitable measurement system available, we work with our technology partners to find a system that delivers to specific requirements. As always, our experts will be happy to discuss options and solutions with you.
