GAS ANALYSIS

Precise continuous gas measurement for process control and compliance

PROCESS CONTROL 
AND COMPLIANCE

ABB's continuous gas analyzers deliver real-time measurement of up to twelve gas components, including CO, CO₂, O₂, CH₄, SO₂, HCl, and NH₃, across the most demanding industrial environments. Whether measuring combustion efficiency in power plants, monitoring emissions in waste incinerators, or controlling hydrogen production in steam methane reformers, our analyzers provide the direct read, instantaneous response needed for immediate process optimization and regulatory compliance.

 

All analyzers are developed, tested, manufactured, and calibrated in-house using our dedicated gas analysis laboratory, ensuring precision and reliability when it matters most.

OUR GAS ANALYSIS PORTFOLIO

Hot/Wet Gas Analysis

HOT/WET GAS ANALYSIS

 

Hot/wet gas analyzers are designed for direct, in-situ measurement of gas streams at elevated temperatures, typically at the point of generation or in exhaust systems. These analyzers operate without requiring extensive sample conditioning, delivering rapid response for real-time combustion control and emission monitoring.

KEY BENEFITS

Analyze directly at the source, without sample conditioning

<p>Hot/wet extractive analyzers measure gas at operating temperature, eliminating sample conditioning systems. Result: faster response, lower complexity, better combustion control data</p>

One scalable platform for CEMS, process & maritime

<p>MCA 10 family offers CEMS, process, and maritime variants on a common platform. Consistent performance and shared spare parts reduce inventory and training costs</p>

Ready out of the box, built for long-term reliability

<p>MCA 10 CEMS ships pre-calibrated with touchscreen and remote access. Extended service intervals and proven stability lower lifecycle costs and maximize uptime&nbsp;</p>

Measure more with less

<p>ACF5000 and MCA 10 measure O₂, CO, CO₂, and CH₄ simultaneously. One platform replaces multiple instruments, reducing footprint and operational complexity</p>

PRODUCT RANGE

Products include the ACF5000, iFiD, and MCA 10 series, offering measurement of oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane in demanding high-temperature conditions.

Typical Applications:

  • Power plant combustion optimization 
  • Waste incinerator emission monitoring 
  • Direct process gas measurement in high-temperature environments 
  • Emergency response gas detection in hazardous areas 

COLD/DRY GAS ANALYSIS

 

Cold/dry gas analyzers measure sample gas that has been conditioned to ambient temperature and humidity. This approach enables use of advanced measurement technologies and multiple analyzer modules in a single, modular system. Cold/dry solutions are ideal when flexibility, multi-component analysis, and customizable measurement modules are priorities.

KEY BENEFITS

Modular architecture for multi-component analysis

<p>Advance Optima AO2000 supports up to four analyzer modules measuring six gas components simultaneously. Choose from freely combinable modules (NDIR/UV, oxygen, TCD, FID, and in-situ laser) to build your ideal solution</p>

Advanced performance without complexity, at the right cost

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>EasyLine EL3000 delivers proven analyzer technology in a compact, affordable platform. Automatic calibration eliminates expensive test gas cylinders, reducing operational costs significantly</p>

Certified for hazardous areas, designed for simplicity

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>EL3060 is certified for Zone 1 environments (ATEX, IECEx, NEPSI, TIIS, KC) with flameproof enclosure and touchscreen operation. Shared modules ensure proven Advance Optima reliability</p>

Future-proof connectivity and integration

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>ABB analyzers support Ethernet TCP/IP, OPC, PROFIBUS, and Modbus for seamless DCS/SCADA integration. Built-in remote monitoring and QAL3 compliance (EN 14181) included</p>
