Offering superb sensing capability and comprehensive remote connectivity, the Servomex SERVOPRO FID is the ideal analyser for CO2 recovery operators who need accurate trace hydrocarbon measurement from a single versatile, easy-to-operate unit. Utilising high-performance, low-noise Flame Ionization Detector technology, the SERVOPRO FID offers accurate CO2 measurement and clean operation with a guaranteed 100ppb resolution.

The FID offers full ethernet and internet connectivity that greatly increases remote communication options via a network or an internet browser, as well as monitoring options via a standard 4-20 mA output. With all flow electronically regulated and temperature regulated, the system offers a "Lock Range" facility to allow the operator to fix the unit within a desired range, as well as an automatic ranging feature that changes the measurement parameters according to the impurities it detects. Ease of use is facilitated by a simple and intuitive user interface, enabling users to view values including real time measurements and system status.

With the accuracy, stability and reliability of the FID measurement optimised by a wide dynamic range, fast response time and flexibility of operation, the SERVOPRO FID is the ideal solution for a trace measurement of CO2 on storage tanks, pipelines or individual cylinders.

Delta F DF-150E oxygen analyser guarantees quality and safety for heat treatment processes

Tuesday, 28 February 2012 00:00

Offering exceptionally accurate oxygen (O2) analysis through unique coulometric sensor technology, the Delta F DF-150E from Servomex delivers heat treatment processes the measurement stability and reliability that guarantees exceptional batch quality and improves plant safety.

Offering both single range or 3 range options - ideal for furnace start-up and operation conditions - and exceptional accuracy of ±3% of reading / 0.5% of measurement range, the DF-150E utilises Servomex's unique, non-depleting E-sensor technology to ensure accurate results with no sensor drifting, no false low readings and no frequent calibration requirements. This produces a 'no fail' performance crucial to successful heat treatment processes, where a false O2 reading can waste thousands of dollars in poor batch quality or cause safety issues when using hydrogen (H2) or mixtures using H2 as a blanketing gas.

Able to measure O2 in a range of inert and modified atmospheres the DF-150E's exceptional ability to monitor low levels of oxygen means it can protect against oxidisation in a range of process conditions. This covers atmospheres in a wide range of heat treatment processes including reflow (which uses nitrogen), annealing and sintering (H2), batch annealing (H2 and N2) and brazing (inert gases).

Servomex's coulometric E-sensor offers a host of advantages over competitor techniques, with the technology's exceptional stability reducing maintenance costs through lower calibration requirements. The sensitivity of the measurement avoids the schedule disruption, waste and scrappage costs incurred by oxidized product, as well as ensuring plant safety is fully maintained when using H2 as a purge gas in sintering and annealing processes.

The flexibility of the DF-150 enables easy integration into multiple zone sample systems using a manual or automatic sequencing system to assure that a quality product comes out of the furnace.  The DF-150E is therefore ideal for OEM Furnace Manufacturers who supply analysers as an option or as standard for the end-user customer, heat treatment contractors and on-site processes which provide treatment for end products in-house.

The DF-150E offers users a range of configuration options that enables the analyser to be built to their particular measurement requirements. Choices include CE Certification, a choice of Outputs, Flow Alarm, Sample Pump and Remote Sensor options. A unique acid gas sensor option also neutralises trace levels of acid gases in the sample including CO2, H2S, NOX and SOX.

Every analyser is custom configured under ISO-9001 controls, factory calibrated to standards traceable to NIST and tested for several days before shipping to ensure flawless performance.
