    Three Critical Customer Challenges 

    1. Regulatory Compliance

    Customer Challenge: Keeping Pace with Evolving Requirements

    Environmental and safety regulations continue to evolve, placing greater demands on gas monitoring programs. Facilities need measurement technologies that provide the sensitivity, reliability, traceability, and continuous data required to support compliance today while remaining adaptable as detection limits and reporting requirements change.

    “Can I prove, with reliable data, that we’re within the limit every time a regulator or auditor asks?”

    The T-I Max EtO provides continuous, real-time EtO monitoring at parts-per-billion (ppb) levels, helping facilities:

        • Maintain a more complete 24/7 EtO measurement record
        • Detect low-level EtO concentrations in real time
        • Reduce monitoring gaps with low-maintenance CRDS technology
        • Provide reliable measurement data for compliance and reporting
        • Adapt monitoring programs as regulatory requirements evolve

    2. Workplace Safety

    Customer Challenge: Detecting Hazardous Gases Before They Put People at Risk

    Toxic gases, fugitive emissions, and oxygen-deficient conditions can create serious risks for employees. Facilities need reliable, continuous gas monitoring capable of detecting changing concentrations quickly, providing operators with the information needed to identify potential hazards and take action before conditions escalate.

    “Will You Catch a Leak Before Someone Is Exposed?”

    The T-I Max EtO provides continuous, real-time trace monitoring to help facilities:

      • Detect low-level EtO releases early
      • Continuously monitor areas where exposure risk is highest
      • Protect workers around production, sterilization, storage, and transfer areas
      • Support workplace exposure and industrial hygiene programs
      • Reduce monitoring gaps with low-maintenance CRDS technology

    3. Scalability & Futureproofing

    Customer Challenge: Selecting a Gas Analyzer That Can Meet Tomorrow’s Needs

    Process requirements rarely stay the same. New gases, lower detection limits, additional measurement points, changing regulations, and expanding production can quickly make a narrowly specified analyzer inadequate. Customers need scalable gas analysis technology that can adapt to new applications and measurement requirements helping protect their instrumentation investment and avoid costly replacement as operations evolve.

    “If EtO limits get tighter, will our monitoring system keep working or will we have to start over?”

    The T-I Max EtO helps facilities build a monitoring program that can grow with their needs:

      • ppb-level sensitivity for increasingly stringent monitoring requirements
      • Continuous 24/7 operation
      • Low-maintenance CRDS technology
      • No consumable sensors
      • Expandable across multiple monitoring locations
      • Industrial communications for integration into plant-wide monitoring systems

        Compliance & Certifications

        • EPA NESHAP: Engineered to align with the latest emission standards.
        • Occupational Safety: Supports monitoring at OSHA/NIOSH-defined levels.
