Gas analysis

Continuous gas analysis for process control, quality and emissions monitoring. We select the technology together with the sampling system.

From the required measurement to the analyser family

ABB AO2000

Advance Optima AO2000

Modular system combining multiple analytical techniques and measurement points. AO2020 for rack mounting and AO2040 for wall mounting.

Before selecting the instrument

We start with the actual mixture and sampling point. Full scale alone does not define the solution: condensation, adsorption and leaks can alter the sample before it reaches the cell. Response time must include transport through the line.

Information for a quotation

To select a gas analysis system, send us the following information, even if preliminary:

  • Components to be measured, background gas and expected interferents.
  • Normal, minimum and maximum ranges; units and dry or wet basis.
  • Pressure and temperature at the sampling point; moisture, dust and condensable components.
  • Required response time, number of points and distance from the sampling point.
  • Area classification, indoor/outdoor installation, available signals and utilities.

Frequently asked questions

Can one analyser measure any gas?

No. Components, ranges and interferents determine the measurement principle and configuration. The same family can contain very different modules.

Is a sampling line always needed?

Yes for extractive systems. In-situ measurement takes place in the process, but still requires compatible access and installation conditions.
