HY-OPTIMA® 700B Series Process Hydrogen Analyzer

General Use Inline Hydrogen Process Analyzer

  • Solid state sensor for durability
  • Wide range of operating temperatures
  • Zero maintenance

Applications

H2scan’s HY-OPTIMA® 700B series in-line, real time hydrogen-specific process analyzers are designed for ease of use, interface flexibility and true process control. The HY-OPTIMA 700B series is a solid-state sensor that is configured to operate in process gas streams with temperatures up to 60ºC. The HY-OPTIMA 700B series is ideal for hydrogen production and petrochemical applications where real-time measurements can enhance process plant efficiencies, diagnostics and maintenance management. The HY-OPTIMA® 700B Series inline hydrogen process analyzer is ideal for gas streams where real-time, hydrogen-specific measurements can enhance process plant efficiencies, improve yields, and reduce maintenance costs.
