Gas detection systems on show

Among the company’s humidity and contamination resistant volatile organic compound (VOC) monitors on show will be the ‘Titan’ continuous benzene specific monitor, ‘Falco’ series of fixed continuous monitors and the complete range of ‘Tiger’ handheld photoioinsation detectors (PIDs). The ‘Cub’ and ‘CubTAC’ personal PIDs will also be on display. All the company’s instruments incorporate its next generation ‘MiniPID’ sensor which offers a raft of benefits, including improved temperature stability, greater sensor-to-sensor consistency and more repeatable performance.
 
As a truly selective continuous, wall-mounted benzene monitor, Ion Science’s Titan has already proven to be a real game changer for the petrochemical industry.  It is highly sensitive and capable of detecting benzene levels down to 100 parts per billion (ppb) and up to 20 parts per million (ppm).
 
Like all Ion Science PIDs, Titan incorporates the company’s latest MiniPID sensor and unique patented Fence Electrode technology for unrivalled resistance to humidity and contamination, making it ideal for extended operation in harsh environments. Designed to operate in conditions ranging from -20 ºC up to +60 ºC , Titan is unaffected by changes in ambient temperature.
 
Ion Science’s Falco series of fixed continuous VOC monitors help ensure the on-going protection of workers operating in potentially hazardous industrial environments, such as refineries, petrochemical plants and laboratories. Boasting fast response times, simple
 
operation and several innovative design features, the instrument’s typhoon technology prevents condensation forming on the sensor and removes the risk of the system short circuiting. An externally located, intrinsically safe sensor facilitates quick and easy servicing without the need for a hot work permit.
 
Offering a robust and reliable design, the popular Ion Science Tiger handheld PID provides the widest measurement range on the market of 1ppb to 20,000ppm. It is easy to set up and provides advanced VOC detection and software features. It has a fast response time of just two seconds and can be connected directly to a PC via the USB offering rapid data download capabilities.
 
The TigerLT is a streamlined, low cost version of the Tiger instrument. The entry-level PID also offers worldwide intrinsically safe certification for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is ideal for environmental surveys.
 
Another handheld gas detector, the Tiger Select boasts two mode operation for the rapid and accurate detection of benzene and total aromatic compounds (TACs).  Utilising the high output Ion Science 10.0eV monitoring system, a reading for TACs is seen immediately on start-up. Should TACs be detected, a pre-filter tube can be easily attached to ensure rapid detection and selective measurement of benzene.
 
Ion Science’s Cub is the world’s smallest and lightest personal PID. With market-leading ppb sensitivity and a 10.6eV lamp, Cub sets the standard in personal VOC monitoring and features an audible, vibrating and flashing LED alarm designed to give workers an early warning of exposure to hazardous gases. With a dynamic range of 0-5000ppm, Cub sits within the breathing zone and is comfortable and unobtrusive to wear.
 
Alternatively, the CubTAC model is a personal PID for the fast, accurate detection of TACs, including benzene. It has a 10.0eV lamp utilising a special light filtering technology to give a reliable TAC concentration.
