Designed for Online Processes

NIR-O is suitable for online analyses of most processes and process streams. Having the built-in capacity to add more sampling points (up to 12 total channels) within the same process or across processes, in any combination, gives you the flexibility to invest in exactly the capacity you require now. It also minimizes investment for any expansion you may want in the future. NIR-O is compatible with all Guided Wave probes and flow cells which can be used in any combination required for your analytical needs. NIR-O operates in the xNIR range of 1000-2100nm, using process-proven TE-cooled InGaAs detector technology. Built-in Modbus TCP over Ethernet allows easy communication with your system. NIR-O is rugged and robust for process installations.

NIR-O can be configured for up to 12 channels (i.e., independent sample points). This allows you to incorporate the number of sampling points you need now, while being able to easily and more economically add sampling points as your process or facility needs change. NIR-O can measure multiple parameters at up to 12 independent sampling locations in rapid succession, using a solid-state detector by employing digital optical switching technology. Multiplexing greatly reduces the cost-per-measurement point, making cost-per-result more economical.

Research-Grade Signal-to-Noise Ratio

NIR-O’s dual-beam design, coupled with its high output near-zero aberration scanning grating, puts more light into the fiber. This provides an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, which means better sensitivity in your measurements. Each NIR-O provides excellent wavelength accuracy (NIST traceable) and superb wavelength repeatability.
