- Works during start-up
- Benign, surrogate gas calibration
- Wet and dry sample systems
- Low cost of ownership
Description
The KK650 is designed specifically for measuring hydrogen and chlorine gases within the chlor-alkali industry. Hydrogen measurement is our field of expertise, but this application is not straightforward. Hydrogen levels are low and the mixture is not binary. In addition to the hydrogen and chlorine; oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide are also present. These are referred to as the ‘inerts’. At start-up, the gas stream mainly consists of nitrogen purge gas with a gradually increasing percentage of chlorine.
All types of chlorine plant can be monitored by one of two models which differ in the hydrogen range and resolution (see specification). Each provides accurate monitoring of the process gas from start up to normal running.
