WS-CRDS for Monitoring Stack and Auto Emissions

In industries such as petrochemicals and power generation, emissions from industrial stacks, flares and flues are subject to ever tighter regulations. This brings a concomitant requirement to test and verify compliance as well as a potential need for on-site testing by personnel from regulatory agencies. Picarro WS-CRDS analyzers are used in these applications for several reasons. First they combine high (ppbv) sensitivity with a wide dynamic range. Just as important, these are compact rugged instruments with no moving parts that can operate unattended for months without recalibration. Because of this, they are perfect for use in remote locations with limited accessibility and harsh operating environments. In addition, the same instruments are ideal for use in reference laboratories, simplifying transfer of testing specifications and protocols. And finally, Picarro WS-CRDS analyzers use a modular internal design enabling them to be factory-configured for custom combinations of trace gas species.
