Measure CO2 in pipelines, biogas plants and landfills

The CarbonHound CO2 gas analyzer (photo) is an accurate, cost-effective and low-maintenance method to detect and measure carbon dioxide in natural-gas pipelines, biogas plants and landfills. The online process analyzer continuously quantifies the amount of CO2 in sample streams in real time using a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) method of measurement. Once introduced with a sample, the IR detection element provides an output proportional to the concentration of CO2. The signal is digitized as a 4–20-mA output, relay alarms, RS-485 or TCP/IP Ethernet to work in different process control systems. Built for use in Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous locations, the CO2 gas analyzer is available in an outdoor weathering packaging. The device has an accuracy and repeatability of +3% of full scale and resolution of 0.01% for readings up to 10 vol.%. — Analytical Systems Keco (KECO), Houston
