Products & services
BIAR SA - Inline sampling valves
BIAR’s in-line sampling systems are industry-leading, combining exceptional operator safety, ease of use, and high sampling accuracy. Designed with a true zero dead-zone and precision-engineered spindle, the system ensures fully representative samples are obtained every time, eliminating contamination risk and stagnant zones. The design prioritises safe operation, particularly in hazardous and high-risk environments, allowing operators to take samples with confidence and minimal exposure. BiAR systems are available in a wide range of standard and exotic materials, making them suitable for demanding applications across the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage industries. This includes critical and hazardous services such as liquid chlorine and HF alkylation.
BIAR SA - Reactor sampling systems
Depending on the specific constraints of the reactor or vessel, BIAR designs and manufactures a range of adapted sampling systems to ensure safe, reliable and representative sampling in demanding process conditions. BIAR offers modular reactor sampling solutions that can be installed in different positions according to the process configuration: - Top-of-reactor sampling systems - Side-mounted sampling valves - Bottom-mounted sampling systems These modular systems are available in a broad selection of materials — including stainless steel, corrosion-resistant alloys and PFA-lined versions — and can be configured with multiple options to suit the process media, operating conditions and installation requirements.
BIAR SA - Gas and liquefied gas sampling systems
BIAR designs and manufactures modular sampling systems for gases and liquefied gases, helping operators collect representative samples while improving safety, containment and ease of use. Depending on the application, process conditions and sampling method required, BIAR offers several configurations, including: sampling valves for use with containers or syringes conventional sampling cylinders double-spindle valves and dedicated containers All systems are based on a modular construction, allowing the sampling solution to be adapted to the process, product characteristics and site requirements. Designed for demanding industrial environments, BIAR gas sampling solutions are suitable for applications where operator safety, sample integrity and reliable operation are essential
BIAR SA - Tailor-made and quantitative sampling solutions
When standard solutions are not enough, BIAR develops bespoke sampling systems in close collaboration with its customers. Designed for demanding applications, these solutions can handle: - very high pressures and temperatures - large-diameter pipelines - specific process constraints - quantitative sampling with chamber Custom-built for your process. Engineered for safe, reliable and representative sampling.
