you to:
Accuracy
Extract and transport the sample TRUEpeak method is interference free
Adding Cost and Slowing Response TRUEpeak measures the process without
changing the composition
Condition the sample to protect the analyzer
Rapid 5 second measurement in the process
Adding Cost and Compromising the Accuracy
Cost and Reliability
Protect the analyzer from the elements Installation without sample extraction,
Adding Cost transport and conditioning
No analyzer shelter required
Often the measurement also suffers from No sensor contact
Interferences – Reducing Accuracy
Sensor Degradation – Reducing Accuracy

 Tunable Diode Laser Analysis

At 760 nm Oxygen also absorbs Infrared light

With precise wavelength tuning isolated absorption peaks

can be selected

Only TruePeak area integration gives accurate analysis

with varying background gases, temperature and
pressures

 Accuracy vs. Paramagnetic

Measurement Quality
- No cross interference
- Fast measurement speed - (5 seconds typical) Dry vs. Wet Measurement
- Wet measurement – (no volume errors)
A rough calculation of the dry
measurement errors as follows:

Paramagnetic Interference - Moisture varies from 5-15%, O2 level of 10%

Table below shows a sample hydrocarbon stream
and he amount of paramagnetic interference for
the two most common process paramagnetic
analyzers. This is not a worst case example.
Servomex data (most extensive) lists 57 (out of
138) gases with a higher interference than those
shown below.
- With 15% H2O, paramagnetic will read 11.76%
[O2 dry = 10% (1/(1-.15)) ]
- With 5% H2O, paramagnetic will read 10.52%
[O2 dry = 10% (1/(1-.05) ]
- Using a mid level offset during calibration the
error will be +/- 0.62% oxygen

Vol. Interference Interference

methane 40 -0.08 -0.07 Siemens Oxymat 6 manual 02/04.

 ACCURACY VS. 1st GENERATION(2f) TDL

Measurement Quality
- No cross interference

- TruePeak is the ONLY process TDL that integrates

the peak area, eliminating background gas effects

- Other TDL analyzers either measure peak height

only (bottom table), or “fit” the peak

- Peak fitting has to deal with background gas +

PRESSURE + TEMPERATURE (top chart)

Test of 2f TDL - Calibrated with O2 in N2

(using peak height only) - Background gas changed to 3 different hydrocarbons

samples can destroy damage the cell
or compromise the
- TDL has no sample contact with sensor
measurement: - Liquids can damage the cell
- Windows can be purged to eliminate
analyzer-gas contact

- Spectra (IF stored on analyzer) can

allow historical measurement validation

- Continuous diagnostics

- TruePeak diagnostics stored on the

analyzer

- TruePeak allows Automatic validation - Diagnostics are STORED

with each measurement
- Spectra is stored during
warning/fault conditions,
