Portable FTIR gas analyser - and oxygen too!

The Gasmet DX range of portable FTIR gas analysers have become extremely popular with stack testers for mobile emissions monitoring, particularly since the award of MCERTS certification

The Gasmet DX range of portable FTIR gas analysers supplied by Quantitech of Milton Keynes have become extremely popular with stack testers for mobile emissions monitoring, particularly since the award of MCERTS certification.

With its multi-component analytical abilities and speed of response, perhaps the only serious limitation of FTIR for stack monitoring has been its inability to measure oxygen.

This limitation has now been overcome by the addition of a Zirconia cell to the Gasmet Portable Sampling System normally used with the gas analyser.

This TuV approved sensor detects oxygen to 0.1 vol % and is fully integrated with the FTIR, so that results are processed and displayed by the same Calcmet software that handles the FTIR results.

The Gasmet Sampling System uses no dilution or drying, so that trace concentrations of water-soluble gases like HF, HCl, and NH3 can be analysed in wet, corrosive gas streams.

All active surfaces in the sampling system can be heated to up to 180C to prevent condensation problems.

The sampling system is equipped with several safety features such as automatic zero gas flushing in case of system error or power loss, temperature and gas flow alarms from the sampling system and automatic zero calibrations at user-set intervals, making the system ideal for unattended operation.

Gasmet portable FTIR analysers can also be rented through the Quantitech EnviroRental service for evaluation or short-term monitoring tasks.
