The Applied Analytics #OMA is the ideal multi-component instrument for analyzing true NOX (NO + NO2) in emissions and critical process applications.
The release of nitrogen oxides (NOX) to the atmosphere causes the formation of nitric acid rain and depletes the ozone layer. These emissions are heavily regulated around the world. Industrial combustion sites must report the amount of NOX exiting their stack and often implement processes like DeNOX to reduce these emissions.
Applications

Proven Applications
NOX Absorbance Spectra
To measure true NOX, the OMA individually measures NO and NO2 concentrations. The powerful multi-component software isolates the distinctive absorbance curves of the analytes and mathematically isolates their structures from the total sample absorbance. In accordance with Beer-Lambert Law, the OMA correlates the height of these curves directly to real-time concentrations. The NOX reading is a simple sum of the two measurements.
Sampling
The OMA is built for direct analysis of the hot/wet sample, thus simplifying the scope of the sample system and retaining high sample integrity. From our vast experience in sampling design, we know that applications can be similar but are rarely identical. For this reason, we design and build sample conditioning systems on a project basis, working from the process to the drawing board.
