Instrava provided the doas gas analyzer based on advanced UV Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) technology provides highly accurate and stable measurement of key gases such as SO₂, NOx, O₂, CO, and CO₂ in industrial emissions.
Designed for hot-wet extractive sampling systems, this analyzer eliminates gas loss caused by condensation, ensuring true and reliable measurement results, especially for SO₂ and reactive gases.
With a long-life xenon light source (up to 10 years), no moving optical parts, and automatic calibration capabilities, it delivers low maintenance, high reliability, and long-term stability, making it ideal for CEMS (Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems) and industrial process optimization.
