ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR Ambient Air Monitoring

Helping You Meet Ambient Air, Environmental and Emissions Standards

AMBIENT AIR MONITORING

Globally, ambient air quality regulations are becoming stricter and the penalties for violating them are severe. The ability to accurately, quickly and efficiently monitor harmful chemicals and combustible gases is crucial in order to comply with these regulations. For over 35 years, Our Extrel™ portfolio has been delivering mass spectrometers for industrial applications with the reliability and performance needed for demanding applications in the toughest environments.

Ambient Air Monitoring for industrial hygiene and emissions monitoring needs high speed analysis of multiple chemical compounds from several locations with detection limits as low as 10 parts per billion (ppb). The FASTValve™ expands the systems capabilities by analyzing up to 80 sample points per valve assembly. The MAX300-AIR™ Environmental Mass Spectrometer Gas Analyzer also can be configured to monitor a larger number of samples, with the use of several different valve combinations. This gives the MAX300-AIR the largest sample capacity available for a process mass spectrometer. The MAX300-AIR can easily and quickly measure fugitive benzene at < 0.6 µg/m³ (0.2 ppb).

BENZENE FENCELINE MONITORING

The MAX300-AIR measures fugitive benzene at < 0.6 µg/m³ (0.2 ppb). Recent amendments to 40 CFR 60 and 63 have lowered the actionable level to 9.0 µg/m³ (2.8 ppb), at this concentration Extrel mass spectrometers offer a real-time, fully automated solution with better than 99.9% accuracy. Air is pulled continuously from the sample points back to the MAX300-AIR for analysis. There is no need for personnel to manually collect samples, or send anything to an offsite lab, and real-time alerts of benzene transients are crucial for easily and accurately identifying the source.

AIR QUALITY MONITORING

Emissions from urban environments; industrial or agricultural operations; and power generation are the main focus to prevent hazardous pollutants to pose a health risk for the population. HCl, NH₃, NO_x, CO, formaldehyde and many others contribute to environmental concerns, such as acid rain, ground ozone and smog, which cause many adverse health effects in humans. With our ultra-sensitive CRDS analyzers, you can monitor many of these hazardous pollutants precisely at low levels to ensure that any excess emissions are detected immediately.

GREENHOUSE GAS MONITORING

Methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) are the most important drivers of climate change. Researchers use sophisticated computer models to predict the influence of these greenhouse gases on climate change. Such models require precise measurements of atmospheric concentrations, as well as quantification of sinks and sources of these gases. Our Tiger Optics’ analyzers deliver compact, affordable and easy to use solutions for researchers, regulators and industrial customers to monitor CH₄ and CO₂ with great precision and reliability.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE IONIZATION MASS SPECTROMETER (APIMS)
