Condensing or Humid Atmospheres Are No Sweat For Newly Launched Ion Science Falco Fixed PID

Reinforcing its position at the forefront of high performance gas detection equipment for the global occupational health and environmental industries, Ion Science (UK) is highlighting the suitability of its newly launched Falco series of fixed continuous PIDs for monitoring a wide range of VOCs in condensing atmospheres and severe weather conditions.

Setting a new benchmark in fixed VOC monitoring, the ground-breaking Falco offers a fast response to hydrocarbons, solvents, degreasers, paints and fumigants, helping ensure plant-wide safety and the protection of workers operating in potentially hazardous environments. These include refineries, paint booths, shipping fumigations, chemical waste storage areas, polymer plants and pharmaceutical laboratories.

Falco’s ‘typhoon’ technology prevents condensation forming on the sensor eliminating the risk of short circuit and making the instrument ideal for harsh conditions and wet outdoor environments, without the need for weather enclosures. Other potential Falco applications include monitoring the headspace of refinery wastewater streams for excessive hydrocarbon contamination and measuring the effluents of activated carbon systems used to treat contaminated water.

There are eight models in the Falco series offering detection ranges as low as 0 - 10ppm with ppb sensitivity or as high as 0 - 3,000ppm. Customers can upgrade to a unit with a higher detection capacity by purchasing a different electrode and simply recalibrating.

For added convenience and ease of use, brightly coloured red, amber and pulsing (optional) green status indicators are clearly visible in sunlight allowing checks to be conducted from a distance.
