Description
NEO Monitors LaserGas™ III ammonia analyzer (3rd generation) is specially designed for operation in hazardous areas and it provides real time in-situ NH3 measurements for virtually any type of DeNOx systems. The configuration is transmitter/receiver units for cross-duct/stack installation. An external junction (cable connection) box simplifies installation and maintenance. The operation principal is based on well proven Tunable Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TLAS) implemented using fast scanning absorption technique with fully digital signal processing. Years of experience allowed us to carefully design this highly compact NH3 analyzer which offers exceptional performance in harsh environments, is truly robust and provides immediate benefits in terms of operation ease and low cost ownership.
