FTIR Gas Analyzer

Introduction

The ESEGAS ESE-FT600 FTIR Gas Analyzer is designed for simultaneous measurement of more than 10 gas components in industrial emissions and process gas streams. Based on Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), it can measure multiple conventional pollutants and greenhouse gases. Special gas measurement capabilities can also be customized according to specific application requirements. It is widely used in waste incineration plants, environmental monitoring, chemical industries, and laboratory gas analysis.

Measured Gas: SO₂, NO, NO₂, CO, CO₂, CH₄, HCl, HF, NH₃, N₂O, VOC, H₂O

Technology: FTIR

Configurations: Online | Portable | CEMS-FTIR

Measuring Principle

The ESEGAS ESE-FT600 FTIR Gas Analyzer uses Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to continuously and simultaneously measure multiple gas components in industrial process gas and emission streams. The gas analyzer uses a broadband infrared light source. When infrared radiation enters the interferometer, the interferometer divides it into coherent light beams, which then pass through the gas sample in the gas cell.. Different gas molecules absorb infrared energy at their characteristic wavelengths because of molecular vibration and rotation. The detector receives an interferogram containing the absorption information of the sample gas. The analyzer then performs a Fourier transform to convert the interferogram into an infrared absorption spectrum. Because each gas has its own characteristic infrared absorption features, the analyzer can identify and quantify multiple gas components at the same time. Spectral analysis and concentration models establish the relationship between absorbance and gas concentration.

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)

The FTIR technology owns wide coverage area. Each gas absorption has small interference, and it can simultaneously measure multiple gas components. When the infrared radiation enters the interferometer, it will produce two beams of coherent light. The gas sample in the gas chamber absorbs energy of coherent light with specific wavelength. When interferogram that contains sample gas absorption information has been detected by the detector, computer will perform Fourier transform and obtain the infrared spectrogram finally.

FTIR-schematic-diagram

When the infrared radiation passes gas sample, it can be observed that some infrared radiation of certain wavelength cannot get through the gas completely. That is to say, different gases will absorb the infrared radiation of specific wavelength. The infrared radiation interacts with gas molecules, and then the gas molecules gain energy from the infrared radiation to start vibration or rotation. All the vibration and rotation will cause absorption of specific wavelength in the infrared radiation. in the infrared radiation.

The absorption spectrum presents absorption degree of sample in different infrared bands through graphical form. Spectrum displays a function that infrared radiation is regarded as wavelength when passing through gas. For each wavelength, to get transmittance T, divide the infrared radiation intensity when passing through the sample gas by the infrared radiation intensity when entering the sample gas. passing through the sample gas, If the radiation intensity that enters the sample is I0, and the radiation intensity through the sample is l, then the transmittance T can be expressed as:

T=I/I0

In formula: T=Transmittance I0=Intensity when entering the sample I=Intensity when passing through the sample

In addition, the logarithm of reciprocal value of transmittance T is the absorption of infrared radiation:

A = log10(1/T)

In formula: T=Transmittance A=Absorbance

Every kind of gas will be absorbed at specific position, and concentration information for each kind of gas can be forecasted through the established relation model between sample gas absorbance and concentration.

Here’s how the online FTIR gas analyzer works:

  1. Infrared Light Source : The FTIR analyzer uses an infrared light source to emit a broad spectrum of IR radiation.
  2. Sample Cell or Path : The IR light passes through a sample cell where the gas mixture to be analyzed is present. Alternatively, the IR beam may pass through an open path in the atmosphere for environmental monitoring.
  3. Absorption of IR Radiation : As the IR light passes through the gas sample, specific wavelengths of the light are absorbed by the gases present. Each type of gas absorbs IR light at specific and characteristic wavelengths corresponding to the vibrational and rotational transitions of its molecules.
  4. Interferometer : A key component of the FTIR analyzer is the interferometer. It modifies the incoming IR light into an interference pattern. This pattern changes as the path difference between two beams of light (created by the interferometer) changes.
  5. Detector : The interfered light then reaches a detector, which records the intensity of the IR radiation at different wavelengths.
  6. Fourier Transform : The recorded interference pattern (known as an interferogram) is mathematically transformed using a Fourier transform algorithm. This transformation converts the complex interferogram into a more interpretable spectrum, showing the intensity of IR radiation as a function of wavelength or wavenumber.
  7. Spectral Analysis : The resulting spectrum is analyzed to determine which wavelengths were absorbed by the sample. By comparing these absorption features to known spectra of different gases, the analyzer identifies the gases present and determines their concentrations.
  8. Continuous Monitoring : In an online FTIR system, this process occurs continuously, allowing for real-time monitoring and analysis of the gas composition.

An online FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) gas analyzer is a sophisticated instrument used for continuous monitoring and analysis of gas compositions. This type of analyzer is particularly useful in industrial and environmental applications where real-time monitoring of various gases is critical.

FTIR gas analyzer is an advanced multi-component instrument that uses Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy to identify and quantify multiple gases simultaneously.

FTIR gas analyzers are commonly used for continuous emissions monitoring, process gas analysis, environmental testing and laboratory research. Depending on its configuration, the ESEGAS ESE-FT600 can measure more than ten gas components in a single analyzer, reducing the need for multiple single-gas instruments.

FTIR gas analyzer uses a broadband infrared light source and a Michelson interferometer to produce an interference signal. When the infrared radiation passes through the sample gas, different gas molecules absorb energy at their characteristic infrared frequencies.

The detector records the resulting interferogram, which is converted into an infrared absorption spectrum using Fourier Transform processing. The analyzer then identifies the gases through their characteristic absorption features and calculates the concentration of each component.

Depending on the selected configuration and application, the ESEGAS ESE-FT600 FTIR gas analyzer can simultaneously measure:

  • SO₂
  • NO
  • NO₂
  • CO
  • CO₂
  • CH₄
  • HCl
  • HF
  • NH₃
  • N₂O
  • VOCs

An FTIR gas analyzer offers several advantages for complex multi-component gas measurement:

  • Reduced need for separate single-gas analyzers
  • Continuous and real-time measurement
  • Identification of multiple infrared-active gases in complex mixtures
  • Flexible gas components and measurement ranges

The standard delivery time for an ESEGAS FTIR gas analyzer is usually 3-4 weeks after order confirmation.

The exact lead time depends on the required gas components, measurement ranges, sampling system and customization requirements. A complete FTIR-based CEMS or customized gas analysis system may require additional engineering, production and testing time.
