HCl Gas Analyzer

HCl Gas Analyzer

Introduction

The ESEGAS ESE-LASER-200WM Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Analyzer is designed for continuous measurement of HCl concentrations in industrial process gases and emission streams. Using Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), it identifies HCl through its characteristic laser absorption wavelength, providing selective measurement in complex gas mixtures. Because hydrogen chloride is highly soluble in water and can be lost through condensation or adsorption, the system can integrate heated sampling probes, heated sample lines, and temperature-controlled gas handling components. It is suitable for waste incineration, chemical manufacturing, acid gas emission monitoring, and industrial flue gas treatment.

Measuring Principle

The ESEGAS ESE-LASER Series Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Analyzer uses Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) to continuously measure HCl concentrations in industrial process gases and flue gas. TDLAS measures HCl through the selective absorption of laser light at specific wavelengths. The gas analyzer detects changes in laser intensity and analyzes the absorption spectrum to calculate HCl concentrations. This technology provides high selectivity, sensitivity, and rapid response, enabling accurate measurements from ppm to ppb levels.

Key Features

  • With high selectivity, TDLAS is a high-resolution spectroscopic technique. Due to the unique “fingerprint” characteristics of molecular spectra, measurements are not interfered with by other gases, a feature that offers significant advantages compared to other analytical methods.
  • With broad applicability, TDLAS technology effectively measures all active molecules that absorb in the near-infrared region, covering virtually all major gases used in engineering analysis.
  • With high versatility, TDLAS technology offers advantages such as rapid response and high sensitivity. When combined with a long optical path gas cell, it enables measurement of trace-level gases at the ppb level.
  • Continuous monitoring, ultra-fast measurement response.
  • Dual range design, wide measurement range, ultra-low detection limit.
  • Enhanced Heliotrope light cell structure for ppb-level measurements.
  • Half-year calibration, easy maintenance, no consumable costs.
  • Special coating to effectively minimize the interataction, absorption, and the chemical reaction of the measured gas on the pipe wall.

  • Low concentration measurement

An HCl gas analyzer measures hydrogen chloride concentrations in industrial process gases and exhaust emissions. It supports acid gas emission monitoring, process control, and environmental compliance.

A TDLAS HCl analyzer uses a tunable laser to target characteristic HCl absorption wavelengths. By analyzing the attenuation of the transmitted laser light, it calculates hydrogen chloride concentration.

HCl is highly soluble in water and can be lost through condensation and adsorption on sampling surfaces. Heated sampling components help prevent condensation and minimize sample loss during transportation.

An online HCl analyzer is designed for continuous industrial monitoring, while a portable HCl analyzer supports on-site inspections, commissioning, and troubleshooting at different sampling locations.

Common applications include waste incineration, chemical manufacturing, chlor-alkali production, metal processing, and industrial acid gas treatment.

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is highly soluble in water. If moisture condenses in the sampling system or measurement cell, HCl dissolves in the condensate, causing lower-than-actual concentration readings. HCl can also adsorb onto internal surfaces, resulting in sample losses and slower response.

A heated measurement cell and sampling system help keep the sample above its dew point, preventing condensation and reducing adsorption losses. Heating must cover the entire sample path—including the probe, filters, transfer line, and connections—to eliminate cold spots.

The operating temperature should be selected according to sample moisture, pressure, gas composition, and equipment specifications. Conventional cooling and moisture removal should be avoided unless HCl recovery has been validated.
