Portable Multigas Analyser – Overview

The Rapidox 5100 Multigas Analyser is a high-spec portable instrument designed for analysing, controlling and monitoring gas in a wide range of applications. This includes biogas, syngas, anaerobic digestion and the fermentation processes. Up to six gases are simultaneously measured using a range of high-precision gas sensors. Each sensor is specially designed and calibrated to avoid cross-interference with background process gas. Safety is ensured by flashback arrestors in the gas measuring circuit where required. Measurable gases include O2, CO, CO2, O3, H2O, H2, H2S), NO, NO2), N2O, SO2, Cl2, CH4 and C2H4. When configured for applications where the gases contain energy (e.g. Biogas, Syngas) the calorific value of the gas sample is determined using thermodynamic calculations and logged and displayed onscreen. For samples taken from a gas source at atmospheric pressure or below, the pump is activated to draw a sample through the analyser. Alternatively, the pump can be deactivated when sampling from a source at a greater atmospheric pressure, allowing the gas to flow through the analyser. Gas flow is regulated manually via a rotary knob on the fascia and displayed electronically on the screen.
