Ametek Combines Global Sales and Engineering Support for Thermox and Land Instruments

Broad line of combustion and environmental monitoring equipment now offered through single source.

Worldwide sales and engineering support for flue gas analyzers from Ametek Thermox® and combustion efficiency and environmental monitoring equipment from Land Instruments are now available from AMETEK Process & Analytical Instruments. The merging of these functions of the two companies is made possible by the 2006 acquisition of Land by Ametek.

Ametek Thermox offers the process industry’s most extensive line of flue gas analyzers for measuring oxygen, combustibles, methane and fuelrich atmospheres. Its WDGIVC combined Oxygen and Combustibles analyzers are a superior alternative to insitu probes, even in heavy particulate and hightemperature flue gas streams, the company reports.

Based on a design pioneered by Ametek, the WDGIVC offers fast response, accuracy and ease of maintenance in a wide range of flue gas applications. It features a hotwire catalytic detector that displays reduced drift and increased sensitivity to lowlevel carbon monoxide (CO) changes, while resisting the poisoning effects of SO2.

Land Instruments offers a comprehensive range of combustion efficiency and environmental monitoring instruments, including the FGA Series of flue gas analyzers. The FGA Series samples up to six pollutant gases (CO, NO NO2, SO2, O2 and CO2). Its dual sensor technology ensures stable longterm operation with high accuracy and very low drift.

Along with its range of combustion efficiency monitors and stack gas emissions analyzers, Land offers dust, opacity and smoke monitors, including the Model 4500 Premier lowlevel continuous opacity and dust compliance monitor. The Model 4500 Premier uses an advanced LED light source to reduce the effect of misalignment on the measured opacity, giving the instrument a 0 to 15 mg/m3 dust density capability.

Thermox and Land are units of Ametek, Inc., a leading global producer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices with annual sales of more than $1.8 billion.
