  • Fast response: Zirconia and TDLAS technologies provide rapid detection of oxygen concentration changes for real-time process control.
  • High selectivity: Paramagnetic and TDLAS technologies provide highly selective O₂ measurement by using the magnetic or spectral properties of oxygen.
  • High-temperature capability: Zirconia analyzers are suitable for boilers, furnaces, kilns, and other high-temperature combustion applications. The ESE-Z-100 probe can be configured for gas temperatures up to 1700°C with a ceramic protective tube.
  • Stable continuous monitoring: Designed for continuous oxygen measurement in combustion, process gas, safety, and industrial monitoring applications.
  • In-situ measurement option: Zirconia oxygen analyzers can be installed directly in the flue or process stream, reducing sample transport delay and providing faster process feedback.
  • Low-maintenance options: Paramagnetic and zirconia technologies provide long-term measurement without the frequent sensor replacement associated with consumable electrochemical cells.
  • Process and combustion optimization: Real-time O₂ measurements can support air-to-fuel ratio control, reduce excess air, improve combustion efficiency, and help control CO and NOₓ formation.
  • Safety monitoring: Continuous oxygen measurement can help detect oxygen deficiency or excessive oxygen conditions in process equipment and industrial environments.
  • Industrial system integration: The ESE-Z-100 supports 4–20 mA output, alarm outputs, and optional RS232 or RS485 communication for integration with PLC and DCS systems.
  • Wide industrial applications: Suitable for power generation, combustion systems, chemical plants, oil and gas processes, metallurgy, furnaces, kilns, welding gas verification, mining safety, and other industrial oxygen-monitoring applications.

Types of Oxygen Gas Analyzer

Our oxygen gas analyzers IR-GAS-600 come in a variety of models and technologies. We can supply electrochemical-based oxygen analyzers that are suitable for intermittent or continuous measurements, featuring high accuracy, fast response times, low power consumption and a long life span. For applications that require higher accuracy and stability readings over wide ranges of temperature and pressure, we offer paramagnetic-based oxygen analyzers. Zirconia oxygen analyzers are ideal for applications that require accurate and reliable measurements over long periods of time in extreme temperature environments, while tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is an emerging technology which has the advantage of being highly selective to a single target gas. No matter your application, we have the right oxygen analyzer to suit your needs.

An oxygen gas analyzer measures O₂ concentrations in industrial process gases, combustion systems, and environmental applications. It supports process control, combustion optimization, gas purity assessment, and safety monitoring.

Depending on the model, oxygen can be measured using electrochemical, paramagnetic, zirconia, or TDLAS technologies. Each method detects a different physical or chemical property of oxygen.

Trace oxygen analyzers measure very low concentrations, commonly in ppm. Percentage-level analyzers measure higher oxygen concentrations, typically expressed as volume percent. Different sensor technologies and measurement configurations may be required.

Electrochemical analyzers measure oxygen through an electrochemical reaction. Paramagnetic analyzers use oxygen’s magnetic properties to determine its concentration. Paramagnetic measurement is commonly used for continuous industrial gas analysis.

Choose an oxygen analyzer based on the required measurement range, gas composition, operating conditions, response time, and maintenance budget.

Technology When to choose it Main considerations
Electrochemical For economical ppm or percentage oxygen measurement in clean, compatible sample gases. Conventional galvanic sensors require periodic replacement. Check compatibility with acid gases such as H₂S and CO₂, and control sample pressure.
TDLAS For fast, selective oxygen monitoring in demanding processes, including suitable applications containing combustible gases. Available in in-situ and extractive configurations. Confirm detection limit, optical path length, temperature, and pressure. Dust and dirty optical windows can reduce light transmission.
Paramagnetic For continuous percentage oxygen measurement where accuracy, stability, and a non-depleting sensing principle are priorities. Usually requires a conditioned sample. Background gas effects, pressure stability, and vibration sensitivity depend on the sensor design.

Electrochemical sensors offer both trace and percentage measurement options, while paramagnetic analyzers are commonly selected for percentage-level oxygen analysis. TDLAS is particularly useful when fast process response or direct in-situ measurement is required.

For gases containing CH₄, H₂, or CO, selection should consider the complete gas mixture. Suitable versions of all three technologies may be available; combustible gas presence alone does not determine the best choice. Hazardous-area certification must also match the installation.

For an ESEGAS application review, provide the oxygen range, required accuracy, full gas composition, sample temperature and pressure, moisture content, and installation conditions.

Yes. However, background gas composition can affect some measurement technologies. The analyzer must be selected and calibrated for the actual gas mixture to ensure reliable results.

Common applications include metallurgy, petrochemical production, power generation, industrial combustion, gasification, hydrogen production, and gas purity monitoring.
