EXTRACTIVE GAS ANALYZER
BeamCell™
Real-time extractive gas analysis delivering high-precision data rapidly, allowing multi-point sampling and analysis.
Beamonics offers a high-performance turnkey solution for precise gas analysis of extracted or sampled gas in real time, operational within seconds. By extracting gas in a parallel flow for analysis in the controlled environment of the BeamCell™, away from potentially dangerous zones, very high measurement performance can be achieved. Beamonics BeamCell™ is designed with user and integration-friendliness in mind and gas analysis results are readily available for integration into PLC and computer systems.
The gas analyzer is highly durable and extremely robust in harsh environments, providing real-time analysis results in a fraction of a second, allowing for cost-effective multi-point sampling in an extractive gas analysis application.
Like all Beamonics products, BeamCell™ is both calibration-free and maintenance-free, unless it notifies you. BeamCell™ offers extremely fast and precise (PPB-level) gas analysis and can measure everything from very low concentrations up to atmospheric saturation levels, continuously. It can analyze many common industrial gases — please read more in the data sheet.
