Laser Gas Detection Module NH₃ (TDLS)

LGD 2M

Rack 3U monitor using the TDL extractive technology to measure online the NH3 pre and/or post catalyst: SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) or SNCR (Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction)

ENVEA offers this rackable and small footprint NH3 measurement system (3U rack) integrated in its turnkey analysis benches for continuous engine gas measurements.

Its measuring principle is based on gas detection by tunable diode laser spectrometry (TDLS) which offers many advantages and an exceptional value for the customer.

  • Made for easy integration in our turnkey EGAS analysis cabinets
  • Optical, contact-less measurement
  • Accurate NH3 monitoring using TDL spectroscopy
  • High selectivity
  • Fast response time
  • Self-contained
  • Continuous sensor status monitoring
  • No maintenance required, no need for re-calibration
  • Low cost-of-ownership
  • Digital and analog data interfaces
  • Hot-gas measurement up to 190°C
In DeNOx systems using urea injection with ammonia (NH3) as a reducing agent, the flow rate and control of NH3 must be continuously adjusted and controlled to prevent excess NH3 emissions (slip), thus reducing environmental impact and cost of reagents. Therefore, to optimize this process, it is necessary to use a continuous emissions analysis system for the online monitoring of NH3.
