Greenhouse gases and pollutants emitted into the atmospheres makes maritime a key contributor to worldwide emissions. Particularly CO2 and SO2 are responsible for ocean acidification, thus destroying this habitat. The BA 3 MA gas analyser is developed specifically for measuring these two components in the extreme environmental conditions of maritime applications.
The BA 3 MA is DNV certified (Statement of Compliance) as per regulation MEPC 259(68) and is therefore particularly optimised for monitoring emissions of maritime pollutant emission control system (SO2 scrubbers). SO2 traces are measured by NDUV spectroscopy, which is particularly insusceptible to interfering gas. Along with the vibration- protected mounting of the gas sensors therefore makes the device optimal for measuring minimal SO2 traces.
The standard pressure compensation and thermostatisation of the gas sensors ensure high signal stability, even in highly fluctuating ambient temperatures. In addition to the SO2 and CO2 gas concentrations, this also shows the important SO2/CO2 quotient in the display and is output via 4 – 20 mA- and Modbus TCP output signals.
