ammonia sensor Applications

Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) is a very useful chemical used in a variety of industries. However, HF is highly toxic with potential fatal consequences with exposure to humans, so facilities that make or use HF should exercise great care. Nevertheless, there is always the risk of leaks from process elements such as valves, pump seals and storage vessels. Tanker loading, transporting and unloading operations also provide opportunity for HF releases. Industrial processes that make or use HF typically have arrays of point...

The release of refrigerant gases into the environment can be harmful to both the potential occupants of the space, as well as to the environment in general. Chlorofluorocarbons, commonly known as CFCs, which were formerly considered relatively safe, are now known to be a key contributor to the thinning of the ozone layer. These are gradually being replaced by more environmentally friendly refrigerants such as R134a. This however, does not lessen the need for leak detection. Regardless of their reduced impact on...

NH3 (Ammonia) is a colorless gas with a distinctive pungent smell. Ammonia monitoring is essential in coal-fired power plants, where NH3 is used to reduce NOx emissions. The ammonia consumes all of the NOx, but its high concentration that is needed for these purposes also starts reacting with other things and in the process can clog up filters and cause premature failure of expensive SCR equipment and pre-heaters. Not to mention that these high levels create an irreparable damage to the environment.
