Engineered specifically for low cost, high performance monitoring of cross process applications. Capable of simultaneous monitoring of more than 350 compounds in Cerex’s FTIR library, the FT-5000 provides continuous emissions monitoring without having to extract the gas samples from the stack.
Cerex manufactures stock and fully custom FTIR analyzers within the FT 5000 product series. Cross stack, Probe based, and UVDOAS FTIR hybrid systems allow this line of products to monitor a wide array of compounds that would typically require multiple devices. Minimal maintenance expenses, coupled with automatic calibration cycles and continuous logging and transmission of data make the FT 5000 series perfect for your monitoring application.
Our FTIR analyzers accurately measure common combustion gases, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Water Vapor, and can easily be configured to monitor over 400 other compounds. All our devices feature custom alarms, complete integration into your existing data network, and an unparalleled ease of use.
Cerex has the capability to adapt analyzers to extractive, cross-stack, and insitu scenarios, whilst safely providing data in real-time. For extractive applications, heated tube bundles are available; for cross-stack applications, transmitters and reflectors are available; for insitu applications, gas probes are available. The FT-5000 can be customized to fit your specific application needs.
Offering true part-per-billion (ppb) detection limits in an easy to operate package, the Cerex FT-5000’s air-conditioned system can reliably deliver unattended, continuous real time monitoring of ultra low ppb concentrations of individual gas species with absorption features spanning the IR spectrum from 2 to 14 microns. There are no tedious ongoing calibrations, or additional costs for sample handling, wet chemistry, carrier gas, or sorbent filters. Results are immediate, and the raw data containing all the information necessary for gas identification and quantification is always saved.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is the preferred technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid, and gas.
The FT-5000 operates by sending a beam of infrared light through a sample space. The IR beam is directed by a series of optics to an ultra-sensitive cryo-cooled MCT detector where minute changes in IR absorption are sensed due to trace concentrations of individual gases. A classical least squares regression analysis compares the measured absorption spectrum to calibrated reference absorption spectra files. Beer’s law is then used to determine gas concentrations (Beer-Lambert Law).
The result of coupling our proven detection system with our CMS real time analytic software is an industry leading FTIR multi-gas analyzer.
Cerex has over 385 compounds available for detection with the FT-5000. If your compound is not one of the compounds already available within our database, the Cerex FT-5000 FTIR may import gas spectra from the numerous FTIR databases on the web (NIST, EPA, PNNL, etc.)
If you have a compound that is not available in a public database, we may be able to work with you to develop a custom spectrum. Detection limits are a function of the IR detector, installed path length, and site conditions. The detection limits shown have been empirically determined from bump tests of fielded instruments at full path-length.
It is efficient as an alarm and easily integrated into your existing alarm system.

Cerex recognizes that detailed gas monitoring results need to be reliable and available quickly to various stakeholders. For this reason, Cerex engineers developed software to accurately detect and display gases within the air in real time from any location.
On the FT-5000, a user can see results remotely on a phone, tablet, or computer anywhere in the world via a virtual connection. Cellular configurations make this possible in remote environments.
All data is automatically saved in an easy to access .csv file; this feature helps our clients in various ways - from daily use to crucial events such as evidence in court. Early detection translates into quicker response times, reduced environmental impact, decreased plant downtime, and reduced exposure to site personnel and the community.
