PITTSBURGH, PA - AMETEK Process Instruments expanded its line of Model 5100 Series gas analyzers based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) with the introduction of the Model 5100HD gas analyzer that hosts a dual laser platform.
Two separate lasers are installed in the instrument, sharing a common optical path through the sample, allowing the instrument to measure two analytes simultaneously, resulting in significant cost savings for users. Where the required concentrations of the analytes differ considerably such that different path lengths are required, two sample cells are used.
Model 5100HD is capable of dual stream analysis and can measure any two combinations of water vapor, methane, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen in process or flue gas. Another key feature is the use of sealed reference cells that contain known amounts of analyte gases measured for referencing the emission wavelengths of the lasers. This allows users to both line lock the lasers and continuously verify the instrument’s calibration.
The Model 5100HD is designed to handle sample gases with high dew points. The standard version has its sample cell heated to a maximum of 100C. A version is also available for 150C. The instrument is set up to perform all-digital implementation of wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS). It employs digital signal-processing methods that allow for the successful implementation of multivariate calibration and help to accurately measure two separate species with completely overlapped spectral responses.
AMETEK Process Instruments—the leader in on-line analytical instrumentation with the industry’s most extensive product line—offers analyzers based upon eleven differentiated technology platforms and used by markets ranging from oil, gas, and power to pharmaceutical and semiconductor chip manufacturing.
