ATEX approval for gas analysis in harsh conditions

Quantitech is delighted to announce that on-line analysers from PMS have received ATEX approval for continuous monitoring at ppm/ppb levels in potentially explosive environments
Quantitech is delighted to announce that on-line analysers from PMS have received ATEX approval for continuous monitoring at ppm/ppb levels in potentially explosive environments. Quantitech Managing Director Keith Golding says 'This approval covers the AirSentry-IMS, ProSentry-IMS, StackMaster-IMS, and IonPro-IMS range of products which are used for ambient, stack and process stream monitoring. The analysers incorporate Ion Mobility Spectrometers which are field-proven, highly selective, and sensitive.

They provide 24-hour unattended, continuous, specific monitoring, detecting real-time concentration fluctuations to ensure maximum efficiency.

On-board analyser 'intelligence' provides for easy, user-friendly operation with accurate, direct, low ppb measurement of vapours or gas.

Analysers are unaffected by changes in temperature and humidity, operating in temperatures from -40 to +50C and within a humidity range of 0-100% RH.

No other analysers can operate continuously under such a wide range of temperature and humidity'.

These analysers are used to monitor for gas-phase contamination, such as ammonia, ammonia-in-hydrocarbon streams, HCl, HF, Cl2, and many others in a wide array of industrial environments.
