  • Overview

    What Do Continuous Gas Analyzers Do?

    Continuous gas analyzers are generally designed to monitor the levels of one or more designated gases at individual sample points within a facility. These are usually cabinet-sized systems that are permanently installed and are larger and have more capacity than portable gas analyzers. Since these analyzers undergo continuous exposure to a sample gas, they often incorporate sample conditioning equipment to clean or dry the sample gas before analysis.

    Real-world applications of these systems include hydrogen plants, landfills, steel mills, and other facilities where process gas data is required in order to ensure safe and efficient operations. Common industrial applications for Nova gas analyzers include:

    • Biogas production.
    • Combustion efficiency.
    • Flue gas monitoring.
    • Hydrogen purity.
    • Power generation.
    • Steelmaking.

    Gases Measured

    Continuous gas analyzers may be suitable for monitoring many different gases. Some are used to only monitor one gas in a mixture. Nova’s gases measurement capabilities include:

    • O₂: Oxygen.
    • CO: Carbon monoxide.
    • CO₂: Carbon dioxide.
    • CH₄: Methane.
    • H₂: Hydrogen.
    • SO₂: Sulfur dioxide.
    • NO: Nitric oxide.
    • NO₂: Nitrogen dioxide.
  • Features

    Design Features that Count

    Nova continuous gas analyzers are made from rugged, industrial-grade materials and feature designs that can withstand harsh operating conditions and uninterrupted use. In some cases, they are available in various cabinet styles to meet the needs of each facility.

    Nova continuous gas analyzers feature:

    • Modular design.
    • Multi-gas capability.
    • User-friendly interfaces.
    • Reliable sensors & detectors.
    • Effective sample conditioning and particulate filtration options available where necessary.
  • Styles

    Cabinet Styles

    Five Different Continuous Analyzers
    Some applications permit a choice of cabinet options for our gas analyzers. Options can include:

    • Rack mount (RM). To be integrated into your gas analysis instrument rack. This is sometimes used as a control cabinet in two-cabinet configurations designed for some types of process applications.
    • NEMA 4 (N4). Our most commonly-used cabinet features powder-coated steel construction with tight-fitting door seals to ensure protection from ambient dust, gas, or liquid ingress. Some Nova air quality monitor cabinets are also available with a red strobe light to indicate ambient gas alarm conditions.
    • NEMA 4X (N4X). Stronger and more corrosion-resistant than the N4 cabinet, the N4X features stainless steel construction, which is ideal for use in industrial settings.
    • Explosion Proof (N7MC). Hazardous gas analyzers require an explosion-proof cabinet to meet the unique demands of Class 1 Division 1 applications. This heavy-duty cast aluminum box features magnetically operated controls to allow operation without disturbing the cabinet seal.
  • Filtration

    Particulate Filtration

    For some continuous applications that have particulate or soot in the sample gas, it is important to filter the gas at the extraction point. The Nova Model 7240 provides this function. It mounts at the stack or duct and is usually controlled by the analyzer. The filter system uses a blast (or ‘blow-back’) of nitrogen or compressed air to periodically clear the filter element and the probe. The frequency and duration of the blowback can be easily programmed by the user. The basic configuration of the system looks like this:

    Maintenance and Ongoing Support

    To ensure proper maintenance of your gas analyzer, it’s necessary to perform routine maintenance such as replacing filters & pumps when necessary, and regular calibration.

    Nova Analytical Systems also offers remote support and in-house gas analyzer repair services.

    Start-Up and Installation Services

    Continuous gas analyzers are self-contained units that are permanently mounted on a wall or other vertical surface. To ensure proper operation and reliable analysis, installation should be performed by qualified technical personnel. Nova can provide commissioning services to inspect your analyzer installation and provide training on its operation and maintenance. We can also offer remote tech support and operator assistance to help resolve problems and ensure your maximum uptime.
