In Brief Combustion processes generate gas composition changes on timescales of milliseconds to seconds. Analyzers with response times measured in tens of seconds or minutes report averaged values that obscure transient events, including short emission spikes, burner...
In Brief TDLAS (tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy) can measure gas temperature across industrial process streams without physical contact with the gas. Because the technique reads molecular absorption features that shift with temperature, it provides...
In Brief The purchase price of a gas analyzer is a small fraction of what it costs to operate over a decade. Calibration gas, sensor replacements, maintenance labour, sample conditioning consumables, and unplanned downtime dominate the lifecycle cost of conventional...
In Brief The Beamonics product line covers three TDLAS measurement configurations: cross-stack (BeamStack), extractive (BeamCell), and remote stand-off (BeamSight). Each configuration has genuine strengths and genuine limitations. The right choice depends on the...
In Brief TDLAS analyzers complete a full spectroscopic measurement in as little as 100 microseconds, enabling analysis rates up to 10 kHz. This speed is genuinely useful in applications where gas concentrations change on timescales of seconds or less: combustion...
In Brief Dust, fog, condensed droplets, and other particulate in the optical path attenuate the TDLAS laser beam and reduce measurement performance. This is a real limitation. What Beamonics TDLAS offers is a degree of inherent resilience through its spectral fitting...
