Portable FID Analyser has MCERTS

Distributed in the UK by Quantitech Ltd of Milton Keynes, the Bernath Model 3006 FID analyser manufactured by Sick Maihak in Germany was the first portable FID to be awarded MCERTS certification for Total Organic Carbon emission measurements.

The instrument has become very popular with Test Houses - users include ALcontrol, Casella and Scientifics - and with multi-site companies needing to take measurements at multiple locations.

The 3006 measures hydrocarbons in cold, hot, corrosive or condensable gases (including steam), so it will handle most TOC monitoring applications, and with measuring ranges from 0-1ppm to 0-10% volume fully exploits the wide dynamic range of the FID principle. The Environment Agency certification covers concentrations from 0 to 15 mg/m3 and is valid for waste incineration and large combustion plant. It also covers the emission control of chlorinated solvents, like the tetrachloroethylene used in dry cleaning. The instrument is completely self-contained, with its own combustion gas (Hydrogen) and air supplies for up to 170 hours of continuous operation, giving the opportunity for semi-continuous monitoring applications.

For users who have a short-term monitoring requirement but need the confidence that comes from using a certified measuring system, the instrument can be rented through Quantitech's EnviroRental Service. For purchasers and renters alike, Quantitech offer full technical support, service and repair in the UK, so the inconvenience and delays associated with shipping instruments out of the country for repair are avoided.
