TVOC Fixed

TVOCTVOC is the first fixed ATEX approved photoionisation detector (PID) for the continuous detection and measurement of total volatile organic compounds (VOCs). With an intelligent 4-20 mA analogue output, TVOC can be simply integrated into a DCS control system to give warning or control of high VOC levels in the working environment. Designed for simple installation, service and calibration, TVOC is ideal for use in manufacturing and process industries where VOCs are typically present.

TVOC utilises a diffusive sample technique resulting in less contamination issues compared to pumped systems, reducing lamp cleaning and servicing requirements. Simple to install, service and calibrate, TVOC requires no hot work permit and the PID sensor is accessible and changeable in a matter of seconds.
