An Opsis system configuration including the AR650 analyser, designed to monitor a
number of gases in the IR wavelength range
AR 650: Additional Gases for Monitoring in
Chemical and Other Industries
Continuous Emissions Monitoring and Process Control
As an appendix to the A5 application sheet on
Chemical and Other Industries, we present an
additional list of compounds which can be moni-
tored with the AR650 analyser.
Emission monitoring and/or process control of
these gases will be interest for refineries, chemi-
cal and other industries. However, the applica-
tions will vary widely from industry to industry.
Therefore, detailed technical specifications, such
Fibre optic cable
Cabinet including
DOAS Analysers
as measurement ranges, detection limits etc.
can only be determined when the environment
in a given application is known in detail.
A new optical fibre – OF100A – is used in
some of the AR650 applications monitoring the
compounds overleaf.
We ask you to contact your local Opsis rep-
resentative for further evaluation of your spe-
cific application.
