Gas Analyzers

What Is a Gas Analyzer?

Gas AnalyzerReal-time gas analysis enhances efficiency, safety, throughput, product quality, and ensures environmental compliance. Gas analysis utilizes various technologies such as tunable diode laser spectroscopy, zirconia oxygen analysis, infrared gas analysis, stack gas analysis, dust monitoring, process gas chromatography, continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS), hydrogen purity analysis, and gas density systems. Selecting the correct technology is critical to measurement accuracy, reliability, and durability.

Yokogawa's years of application expertise enable our customers to save time, money, and resources by collaboratively selecting the optimal gas analyzer solution.

  • Can be used in hazardous areas with explosive atmospheres (FM, CSA, TIIS)
  • Hydrogen purity and replacement meter for power generators

What Is a Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer?

ZR402/ZR202 Zirconia Oxygen Analyzers

  • Measurement with probe directly inserted into furnace or boiler
  • Integrated and separate types available
  • Also can be used as a high temperature humidity analyzer
  • Fully field-repairable probe
  • HART communication
  • Explosionproof (FM, CSA, ATEX) (ZR22S, ZR202S)

Application Note
Overview:

The U.S. refineries represent approximately 23 percent of the world's petroleum production, and the United States has the largest refining capacity in the world. Petroleum refining is an industry, which is undergoing intense amounts of scrutiny in the United States from regulatory agencies and environmental groups.

Overview:

NH3 injection lowers NOx in stack flue gas, boosts dust collection efficiency, and prevents erosion. Precise measurement and control of NH3 are crucial to avoid excess use, which increases costs and causes odors. The TDLS8000 solves these issues with direct measurement for effective NH3 management.

Overview:

Environmental pollution caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become a global environment issue, including issues on effects upon health. This paper introduces a system based on detection and sampling technologies and developed for measuring goes in the global environment. Small amounts of VOCs are measured with a gas chromatograph or photoionization detector (PID). VOCs in water are sampled using a sparging method. A small quantity of VOC constituents of more than 20 different types can be measured with a gas chromatograph using a programmed temperature oven. The PID can detect a ppb level of VOCs that are ionized using a vacuum ultraviolet radiation lamp. We expect these devices will be useful for improving the global Environment.

AV8C Channel reset code
(KB-000-0410)
You can use code 58 to reset a single AV8C channel.  First scroll the display to the channel you would like to cycle, then enter code 58. 
Here is the link to download the AV8G Manual.
The part number you see on the channel card circuit board is not the part number for the channel card. It is the part number for the circuit board before any parts are installed.  There are 2 versions on the channel card.  If you look at ...
The AV550 automatically turns off the power to the channel card when it is removed. You have to either cycle power to the whole unit, or use the channel card power.  To get to the channel card power menu hit the Setup Key (wrench). See below:&n...

Overview:

Yokogawa’s new TDLS8000 houses all of the industry’s leading features in one robust device. The platform design is for in situ measurements which negate the need for sample extraction and conditioning. The non-contacting sensor allows for a variety of process types including corrosive, abrasive and condensing. The first generation platform has been proven in many others for the measurements of O2, CO, CH4, NH3, H2O and many more NIR absorbing gases. This second generation platform has improved reliability and ease of installation and maintenance while still meeting or exceeding designed application demands.
