 Rapid
Chemical Identification
CASS is an innovative chemical
identification tool used for
inspecting and measuring the
contents in sealed containers.
CASS uses a series of ultrasonic
pulses to measure the acoustic
signature of a liquid.
By
using, CASS inspectors can
quickly examine typical chemical
containers including drums,
barrels, pipelines and tanker
trucks, without physically
opening the container. In
addition, inspectors can more efficiently comply with
Site Security Guidelines by
easily detecting products that
have been tampered with, hidden
compartments and submerged
contraband.
Rapid, Risk-Free and
Cost-Effective Chemical
Identification
The primary benefit of CASS is
its
ability to determine content
without opening containers.
This not only avoids health and
safety risks associated with
human handling of potentially
hazardous materials, it also
allows for a more secure
chemical plant.
Another benefit of CASS is its
ability to distinguish similar
from dissimilar container
contents. This allows for swift
dispatch of large numbers of
containers presented as a single
product, allowing acceptable
containers to move quickly
through inspection while
suspicious or mislabeled
containers are targeted for a
more thorough analysis. Such
sorting reduces requirements for
expensive, time-consuming direct
sampling and laboratory
analysis. Once CASS has
determined the acoustic
signature of a known chemical,
it can identify that chemical in
any other container.
 Reliable, Real-World Track
Record
CASS is fast and easy to use in
the field under various weather
conditions. Numerous units have
been deployed for enforcement
and policy activities supporting
treaty verifications, export
control, illicit drug
interdiction, and interdiction
of materials associated with
weapons of mass destruction.
Early models were used for
chemical weapons inspections by
United Nations inspectors in
Iraq and by On-Site Inspection
Agency inspectors for the
U.S.-Russia Bilateral Treaty.
The U.S. law enforcement
community has also used this
technology in drug interdiction
operations.
