Abstract:
Ambient air monitoring has come to the forefront of discussions relating to environmental, health, and worker safety in several industries including hydrocarbon processing, polymer production, and semiconductor fabrication facilities. While single point monitors are considered industry standard, they are often expensive and maintenance intensive. A mass spectrometer offers a single point analyzer for multiple components, flexibility for additional species that may need to be monitored in the future, and a centralized maintenance point. The Process Insights Extrel™ Max300 series offers analytical flexibility with minimal downtime in general purpose and classified areas. With lower detection limits that often outperform OSHA requirements, the mass spectrometer also offers linearity in the event of an excursion or chemical release. This presentation will discuss the performance capabilities of the Process Insights Extrel™ Max300 series on various chemicals of interest across different industries and the benefits of utilizing mass spectrometry in life safety applications.
