Gasmet CEMS II e FTIR gas emissions analyser

Gasmet Technologies’ continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) system has completed EN 15267-3 testing using FTIR technology for the analysis of low-range HF, low-range NO, CH₄ and formaldehyde. This means that it meets the performance specifications in European directives and also the more stringent specifications in the type approval standard EN 15267-3 for a large number of components.

The results for hydrogen fluoride were said to be as good as or better than other FTIR manufacturers, while the data for nitrogen oxide and formaldehyde was particularly significant. No other FTIR is certified down to 150 mg/m³ NO, according to the company, and no other instrument is approved for formaldehyde at all.

Other improvements include a reduction in the product’s baseline noise level significantly, improving sensitivity by a factor of two.

The CEM system has since been denoted ‘CEMS II e’ to highlight the extended range of certified components and the enhanced analytical performance. The same improvements also apply to all Gasmet portable FTIR analysers.
