Industry Segments We Serve

Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Manufacturing

The pharmaceutical sector is the backbone of Goa's industrial landscape, particularly in areas like Verna, Kundaim, and Tuem. In this segment, the accuracy of RTD PT-100 sensors is not just a quality metric; it is a regulatory mandate. Drug manufacturing involves complex chemical reactions where temperature deviations of even 0.5°C can result in distinct impurity profiles or failed stability tests. We serve API manufacturers and formulation plants that rely heavily on thermal processing. These companies are subject to intense scrutiny from global regulators like the USFDA and MHRA. Consequently, they require calibration certificates that are traceable to national standards (SI units) to prove that their critical process parameters (CPP) were under strict control during every batch production. Our services ensure that the thermal sensors used in bioreactors and centrifuges maintain the integrity required for life-saving medications.

Food Processing & Hospitality

Goa’s reputation as a global tourist destination relies heavily on its vibrant hospitality and food processing sector, spanning from Panjim to Margao. This industry deals with perishable goods that are highly susceptible to bacterial growth if not stored or cooked at precise temperatures. Industrial kitchens, seafood processing plants, and beverage bottlers use RTD PT-100 sensors to monitor pasteurization, fermentation, and cold storage. Compliance with FSSAI and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) standards is non-negotiable here. A drifting sensor in a blast freezer or a pasteurization tank can lead to food spoilage, massive financial losses due to wasted inventory, and severe reputational damage. Our calibration services provide the documentation needed to verify that your Critical Control Points (CCPs) are being monitored accurately, ensuring food safety and public health

Marine, Shipping & Shipbuilding

With the Mormugao Port Trust and Vasco being central to India’s maritime trade, the marine industry is a critical segment for our services. Ships and offshore platforms utilize hundreds of PT-100 sensors in engine rooms, exhaust gas systems, and cargo hold monitoring. The harsh saline environment and constant vibration make marine sensors prone to drift and mechanical failure. Accuracy here is vital for engine efficiency—monitoring exhaust gas temperatures helps in balancing cylinder load and preventing engine overheating. Furthermore, for reefer vessels transporting pharmaceuticals or frozen foods, the calibration of hold temperature sensors is mandatory to meet international maritime safety and insurance requirements. Vega’s robust calibration protocols address the unique environmental challenges faced by marine instrumentation, ensuring reliability at sea.

Chemical & Agrochemical Industries

The chemical manufacturing zones in Bicholim and Sanguem house facilities that handle hazardous and volatile reactions. In these environments, RTD PT-100 sensors act as the primary safety barrier. Exothermic reactions require precise thermal management to prevent thermal runaway scenarios which could lead to explosions or toxic leaks. Unlike thermocouples, RTDs offer the high stability and linearity needed for these narrow-range, high-precision control loops. We support these industries by ensuring their sensors meet the intrinsic safety and accuracy requirements necessary for hazardous area operations. Our calibration reports help plant managers demonstrate to safety auditors that their emergency shutdown systems and process controls are functioning based on accurate thermal data, thereby protecting both personnel and plant assets.

Industrial Use Cases

Autoclave & Sterilizer Validation (Pharma/Medical)

In the pharmaceutical hubs near Ponda and Goa Velha, autoclaves are used to sterilize surgical equipment and manufacturing components. The sterilization cycle (typically 121°C for 15 minutes) is controlled by RTD PT-100 sensors. If a sensor reads 121°C when the actual temperature is 119°C, the load is not sterile, risking patient safety. Conversely, if it reads lower than actual, the cycle runs too long, degrading materials. Our calibration service validates the "controlling sensor" and the "recording sensor" of the autoclave. We ensure that the PT-100s responding to the steam temperature have a fast response time and high accuracy (Class A or better). This use case is critical for passing the Bowie-Dick test and leak tests during daily operations, ensuring the sterilization assurance level (SAL) is consistently met.

Lyophilization (Freeze Drying) Cycle Control

For high-value biotech products manufactured in Verna, lyophilization is a standard preservation process. This process involves freezing the product and then reducing the surrounding pressure to allow the frozen water in the material to sublimate directly from the solid phase to the gas phase. RTD sensors are embedded directly into the product shelves and sometimes the product itself. The process operates at very low temperatures (down to -50°C or -80°C). A calibration error here can lead to "melt-back" or incomplete drying, destroying batches worth millions. We provide low-temperature calibration specifically for these applications, ensuring that the shelf temperatures are uniform and accurate, which is vital for the sublimation process to occur efficiently without damaging the protein structures of the drug.

Custody Transfer in Oil & Gas Terminals

In the fuel storage terminals near Vasco, large storage tanks hold thousands of liters of fuel. The volume of these liquids changes significantly with temperature. When transferring fuel for sale (custody transfer), the volume must be corrected to a standard temperature (usually 15°C). This correction relies entirely on the average temperature of the tank measured by multi-element RTD probes. An error of just 0.1°C in a large tank can result in a volume calculation error of hundreds of liters, leading to significant financial discrepancies between the buyer and seller. Our calibration services for these multi-point averaging RTDs ensure that the financial transaction is fair and accurate, protecting the revenue streams of petrochemical companies.

HVAC Building Management Systems (BMS)

Large commercial complexes and hotels in Calangute and Candolim use Building Management Systems (BMS) to control air conditioning. RTD sensors are placed in return air ducts, supply air ducts, and chilled water lines. The BMS uses this data to modulate chilled water valves and fan speeds. If the chilled water supply sensor reads 2°C higher than actual, the chiller works harder than necessary, wasting electricity. If it reads lower, the building becomes humid and uncomfortable. We calibrate these sensors to ensure the "Delta T" across the chiller is accurate. This allows facility managers to run their plants at optimal efficiency, reducing carbon footprints and operational costs—a critical concern for eco-conscious businesses in Goa.
