New gas analyzers

Here's the new Titan-OL systems that provide real-time, multicomponent extractive gas phase analysis for on line and continuous multipoint analysis.

Systems include an industrial Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer system, gas cell(s), sample manifold, valve control electronics, and software. Hardware is enclosed in appropriately rated NEMA enclosures, (up to and including Class 1, Div. 1) or in a standard industrial rack mount cabinet (see photo). The unit's fiber optic distribution electronics provide a single hub for temperature, pressure, mass flow, external alarm, and optical switching signals and can accommodate up to four 12 port manifolds for a total of 48 sample, purge, and calibration lines. Communication between the hub and control computer is over fast, stable fiber optic cable, the firm says.

Systems take advantage of new dual ADC architecture and mirror drive control for increased sensitivity and low detection levels for a variety of compounds. Custom gas cells are corrosion-resistant and are available in path lengths of 1cm to 30 m. Systems can operate at temperatures from ambient to 240° C., allowing moist sample streams to be analyzed without condensation.

Analyzers are fully automated with AutoQuant Pro software package including method calibration, data collection, trend analysis charts, manifold control, and integration of alarm and control functions with plant process hardware and software.

New web site focuses on ISA 100 Standard

The ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute has launched a web site to support ISA100 Standard conformance programs, education, and technical support for suppliers and users of ISA100 wireless networking technology.

The site is at www.isa100wci.org.

The site will be updated on a weekly basis with new content relevant to the ISA 100 Standard, conformance program support, and educational content about the technology.
