November 7, 2011 - Servomex introduces Servotough LaserCompact gas analyzer with Tuneable Diode Laser (TDL) technology. Designed to deliver true continuous in-situ monitoring across short distances, the LaserCompact is optimised for measurement across pipes and along short cells. Able to detect a wide range of gases including O2, HCl, HF, NH3, CO, CO2, H2O, H2S, HCN, NO, N2O, CH4 and other hydrocarbons, the LaserCompact delivers a fast response time of less than 2 seconds, highly stable performance and minimal interference from background gases. With minimum sample conditioning requirements, zero drift and no moving parts and consumables, the LaserCompact delivers a low cost-of-ownership through minimal maintenance or downtime.
As Servomex’s TDL technology delivers measurement through a highly focused laser beam, the LaserCompact is able to measure through very thin nozzles, reducing or even eliminating consumption of purge gas. Certified to ATEX and IECEx standards, the LaserCompact meets the requirements of new flammable sample regulations in full, allowing safe operation in situations where the process stream itself is flammable and has been classified as a Hazardous Area. Optimised for easy installation on measurement cells or DN50/ANSI flanges, the robust design of the LaserCompact makes it ideal for gas measurements in hot, dirty or dangerous environments that can pose problems for some extractive analyser systems.
Key applications for the LaserCompact include a range of chemical industry applications, monitoring for contaminants and moisture in petrochemical processing, non-contact analysis of corrosive, dusty, tarry or sooty gases across pipes, and use in automobile manufacture on engine test stands.
