On 5 October 2026, gas-sensing developer NevadaNano announced that Emerson has integrated its Molecular Property Spectrometer™ (MPS™) 6.0 technology into the Rosemount™ 628MP Combustible Gas Sensor, for use with the Rosemount™ 928 Wireless Gas Monitor.
What was announced
- According to NevadaNano, MPS™ 6.0 consumes 1.35 mW and is designed for battery-powered gas detection systems.
- The technology detects hydrocarbons and hydrogen, classifies the gas present and applies the corresponding response for lower explosive limit (LEL) measurement across a range of flammable gases.
- NevadaNano states that the sensor requires no field calibration, includes built-in self-testing and uses temperature, humidity and pressure compensation.
- The underlying sensor is designed for a 15-year operating life; Emerson specifies more than 10 years for the completed Rosemount™ 628MP sensor module.
- The Rosemount™ 928 uses WirelessHART® connectivity. Target sites named in the announcement include offshore oil and gas, chemical processing, hydrogen production and storage, compressor stations and LNG facilities.
Why it matters for gas detection projects
The announcement reflects a wider design direction: extending fixed combustible-gas detection to remote locations where running power and signal cables is difficult or costly. In a battery-powered detector, the sensor’s power draw, warm-up behaviour and calibration interval directly affect battery life and maintenance planning, so they become system-level design decisions rather than component details.
Airgreen’s perspective
Our core technical team has 20 years of experience in gas sensor design and R&D, and supports sensor integration, PCB and circuit design, microcontroller programming and customised enclosures. When engineers evaluate combustible or hydrogen detection, we recommend defining the target gases, measuring range, power budget, communication interface and calibration plan before selecting a sensing principle, then validating the complete detector rather than relying on a single component specification.
