Revolutionizing Gas Analysis: SICK Sensor Intelligence’s GM32 Gas Analyzer Achieves Class 1, Division 2 Certification

After recent success with the conversion and certification of SICK’s MCS300 HW analyzer solution, esteemed partner, SICK Sensor Intelligence, SICK added another product to its lineup of those certified with Class 1, Division 2. With its direct, fast, and in-situ measurement capabilities, the GM32 sets a new standard for gas analysis in chemical processing settings. This article will delve into the significance of the Class 1, Division 2 certification and highlight the exceptional features and benefits of the GM32 gas analyzer.

Last year SICK Sensor Intelligence announced the achievement of Class 1, Division 2 certification for their GM32 gas analyzer. This prestigious certification ensures the safe and effective measurement of critical gases, including SO2, NO, NO2, and NH3, in chemical processing environments, eliminating the risk of ignition and enhancing overall operational safety.

Uncompromised Measurement Capabilities:

The SICK GM32 In-Situ gas analyzer boasts direct, fast, and in-situ measurement of SO2, NO, NO2, and NH3, as well as pressure and temperature in the gas duct. This eliminates the need for gas sampling, transport, and conditioning, allowing control systems to work directly with highly accurate values. The measured values are reliable and accompanied by an early warning in case of any malfunction, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring and process control.

Compliance and Accuracy:

In addition to its exceptional capabilities, the GM32 gas analyzer is tested for suitability according to the European standard EN 15267, making it a reliable choice for emission measurement of SO2 and NO. It incorporates DOAS evaluation methods, offering numerous independent measuring ranges with consistent accuracy. The automated self-test function (QAL3) eliminates the need for test gases, further reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Enhanced Safety and Reliability:

With the Ex-type option, the GM32 gas analyzer provides extensive safety functions and sophisticated system technology, catering to Ex-zone 2 environments. This encapsulated design ensures reliable operation and adherence to strict safety standards, allowing chemical processing facilities to operate with confidence and peace of mind.

Your Benefits:

The GM32 In-Situ gas analyzer brings a range of benefits to chemical processing industries, including:

• Direct and uncompromised measurement values within the gas duct
• Ability to detect short-term process deviations promptly
• Choice of cross-duct or measuring probe type for representative measurements
• Modular design enabling fast on-site service and flexible maintenance
• Long maintenance-free intervals, reducing operational costs
