Real-Time Ambient and Source Monitoring

CO is an USEPA Priority Pollutant as well as proxy for thermo-genic CO2, while nitrous oxide is the #3 GHG that is produced in combustion processes, livestock operations, and other activities such as soil fertilisation. The MIRA Ultra N2O/CO provides a powerful new tool for lab or field studies of these important species, including regional pollution monitoring (CO) and natural gas leak tracer or soil nitrification studies (N2O).
As an absorption-based method, MIRA Ultra systems achieve high sensitivity and linearity over an extremely wide concentration range. To calibrate or re-zero, Ultra systems come equipped with two programmable sample ports and associated software that enable autonomous calibration (or rezeroing) as well as differential measurements such as in soil chamber studies. For CO, a scrubber can be installed in the analyser to provide high purity zero gas, in most cases eliminating the need for calibration gases or zero gas generators. As the core is heated to 40°C, Ultra systems are ideal for use in humid environments where condensation is of concern.
