PTR-TOF technology for real-time monitoring of volatile organic emissions for industrial plants and facilities.

How does PTR-TOF improve industrial safety?

  • Fenceline VOC Monitoring and Ambient Air Quality Monitoring for Petrochemical, Oil & Gas Industries.
  • Leak Testing: Detects gas leaks caused by gasket failure, corrosion, mechanical damage and thermal cycling.
  • Clearance Testing: Ensures safe handling of parts before servicing by confirming the absence of harmful compounds.
  • Stack Emissions: Real-time monitoring of hazardous organic trace gases at the source.

Proton-Transfer-Reaction Time-of-Flight Mass-Spectrometry (PTR-TOF) is the gold standard in real-time air quality monitoring. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganic compounds can be detected with unmatched sensitivity and in real-time.

In Fenceline Monitoring and and Property Line Monitoring applications, PTR-TOF enables continuous emission tracking, allowing industries to monitor and respond to pollution levels as they occur. It supports regulatory compliance by providing accurate and reliable emissions data to help facilities meet environmental standards. It also improves safety by potentially detecting hazardous emissions from leaks before they become critical, protecting both workers and surrounding communities. 

This real-time monitoring system plays a crucial role in maintaining industrial environmental oversight and ensuring a proactive approach to air quality management.

Our PTR-TOF technology not only offers rapid sampling but also automated data analysis. This increases its efficiency by processing large data sets from multiple sampling points in real-time. The technology is future-proof, with software updates allowing for adaptation to new regulatory requirements without requiring hardware modifications.

What makes PTR-TOF ideal for real-time Fenceline Monitoring & Mobile VOC Monitoring around industrial facilities?

  • High sampling frequency: Less than 1 minute per sample.
  • Low Limits of Detection (LoD): As low as 10 ppt, complying with U.S. EPA and KSA RC standards.
  • Multi-compound detection: Measures a complete spectrum, extracting and quantifying numerous compounds simultaneously.
  • Future-ready: Software updates can accommodate emerging regulatory requirements. 
  • Real-Time Monitoring of: Formaldehyde, Amines, Aldehydes, Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS), BTEX, Acetone, Monoterpenes, Toluene, Siloxanes, Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN), Iron Carbonyl, Nickel Carbonyl, Hydrogen Sulfide (Hâ‚‚S).
