Analysis of hydrogen fluoride in the range of 0-3mg/m3 added to stable of precision air emission monitoring instrumentation

Protea has recently announced that a Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) range of 0-3mg/m3 has been added to their atmosFIR EN14181 QAL 1 MCERTS Certified analysers. HF is a highly reactive gas and is seriously damaging to human health, consequently, it has strict emission limits imposed by legislation. Protea has advanced the standard method of HF measurement by providing a continuous, process-specific measurement using an FTIR. Protea’s FTIR systems offer a high-resolution measurement, meaning that the spectrum of HF that is measured is identifiable and of increased absorption, enabling lower detection limits for HF to be achieved.

Protea Ltd is based in the UK with two state-of-the-art manufacturing units. Protea designs, manufactures and supports a comprehensive range of advanced continuous emission monitoring and process analysers and systems. Protea’s technologies include Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysers, in-situ IR and extractive photometers, in-situ UV and extractive spectrophotometers, Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) analysers, mass spectrometers and Flame Ionisation Detector (FID) analyser. In addition to manufacturing analysers Protea has developed a modular CEMS / AMS solution comprising all the necessary elements to monitor and report in compliance with the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). To complement Protea’s range of gas blenders, the portable atmosFieldCal, capable of humidifying certified test gas and calibration solutions, has recently been developed.
