I saw the recent news of a first for continuous gas analyzers that combines laser and paramagnetic detection methods. The Rosemount™ QX1000 Continuous Gas Analyzer is designed for comprehensive multi-component gas analysis for various industrial applications.
Combining these measurement methodologies provides greater accuracy and reliability in meeting regulatory requirements, such as those for continuous emissions monitoring. Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) are required at most sites with stacks that emit gases into the atmosphere, and they are widely used in chemical, oil and gas, power generation, pulp and paper, refining, water/wastewater, and other industries.
Laser-based measurements excel in complex gas streams. The QX1000 uses paramagnetic detection for O₂ and quantum cascade laser direct absorption spectroscopy for all other gases to meet stringent performance requirements. No moving parts enable lower maintenance requirements, less downtime, and reduced lifecycle costs.
A web-based human-machine interface (WebHMI) enables quick setup and configuration, provides real-time measurement insights, and includes built-in troubleshooting tools. An optional LCD display on the device provides local visibility into analyzer health, diagnostics, and status updates.
