  A fiber optics multi wavelength process spectrometer

OMA-300

A  Fiber-optics-diode-array process analyzer

For on-line concentration monitoring

The OMA-300  is a diode-array fiber-optics process spectrophotometer, measuring the absorbance of a sample as a function of wavelength. It is constructed of a light source, a dispersion device to select a particular wavelength, a sample area, and a detector. The OMA uses a tungsten, xenon or deuterium light source (depending on application), a holographic grating to disperse the light according to its wavelength, a fiber optics probe to transfer the light to and from the sample and a diode array detector which converts the light intensity into electrical signal. A full spectrum is continuously measured and analyzed, via a multi- wavelength method, to give the composition of the stream.

 

The OMA-300 is designed to address on-line applications that require cost effective, accurate continuous concentration monitoring. A simple touch-screen based user interface is ideal for single and multi component analysis and allows for quick setup and calibration.
Wavelength ranges from 200-1,200 nm are continuously and instantaneously monitored by a diode array spectrophotometer with 2,048 elements. A nonvolatile memory section of the analyzer contains the calculation method, wavelength ranges and the name of the analyte to be displayed on the screen.
 

Standard outputs includes 4-20mA output and digital I/O’s. Since the analyzer incorporates Modbus communication protocol it can readily communicate with external physical devices such as PLCs, RTUs, and controllers. The OMA-300   is offered in two different enclosures: A 316 Stainless Steel enclosure and a Class I Division I Groups B, C &D NEMA 4X / 7 Cenelec approved enclosure. Two fiber optic cables are used to conduct light to and from the probe or flow cell. A variety of flow cells and probes with different optical paths and materials of construction are offered. The two standard sampling system designs are : an extractive aspirated system with a manual or automatic zero and span for gases and liquids, and a semi in situ / extractive stack sampler with flow indication and automatic span and zero.
