SUPERIOR GAS DETECTION ASSURED WHEN INSTRUMENTS HAVE ‘ION INSIDE’


VISITORS TO SENSOR + TEST 2023 IN NUREMBERG, GERMANY (9 - 11 TH MAY) CAN SEE THE WORLD’S LEADING SENSORS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOCS) AND PARTICULATE MATTER (PM)


“The designers of Gas Detection Instrumentation, Systems and Process Control Equipment will already know ION Science as a manufacturer of the market’s best PID sensors” explains Peter Morris, Head of Sensors at ION Science Ltd “However, they will be delighted to learn that the Next-PM high-performance Particulate Matter sensor, is now also available and will feature prominently on our stand”.


“When customers integrate our sensors into their equipment, they know that having ‘ION inside’ enhances both their performance capability and reliability, which builds trust in their brands. We therefore look forward to welcoming all visitors, including developers, designers, engineers,


technicians and product managers to speak with us at the show, so that we can explain the benefits of the unique patented technology behind the performance superiorities that ION sensors deliver.”


With global organisations looking to lower safety risks and improve their environmental performance, the demand for VOC monitoring technologies is growing. Typically, ION Science customers are developing measurement instrumentation solutions for personnel safety, site, and environmental monitoring, covering Industrial Health and Safety, Air Quality and Fugitive Emissions. Photoionisation Detection (PID) is the recommended technology to detect VOC levels in the air. PIDs break down compounds into positive and negative ions using ultraviolet light to identify VOCs. PID sensors analyse and detect a vast array of chemicals, though humidity is a major challenge for many PID manufacturers. However, all of ION’s Mini PIDs have a patent-protected design with a third electrode that overcomes this challenge, delivering a stable signal from 0 – 99% RH. The sensitivity of PID sensors is extremely important in many applications; particularly where the sensors are deployed in the measurement of trace VOCs. Again, ION leads the field, offering MiniPIDs with ten times the sensitivity of other PID manufacturers. MiniPID Sensors respond to a broad range of VOCs and a few inorganic gases. To see the full list, download our gas response table.


“We encourage anyone with an interest in developing a monitoring solution for VOCs, to view the gas response table” explains Peter Morris. “The table includes the response factors for over 900+ VOCs, as well as a small number of inorganic gases such as hydrogen sulphide, so it’s really helpful in deciding which PID variant is most appropriate to the OEM application or need.”


The NextPM sensor was recently added to the ION Science portfolio following hugely successful field trials at South Coast AQMD in the USA. The NextPM sensors showed strong to very strong correlations for both PM1.0


and PM2.5 with


reference instruments costing several hundred times the cost of the sensors. “These results were incredibly good for such a low-cost sensor,” explains Peter Morris, “the NextPM, therefore, fits well with our philosophy of offering the best sensors to the market.”


NextPM


Thanks to its patented airflow control technology, Next-PM ensures years of maintenance-free measurements, even in polluted and humid atmospheres. These sensors are therefore ideal for inclusion in instruments and systems that monitor industrial processes or air quality; both indoors and outdoors.


Fine particulates are a particular health concern, and the requirement for monitoring equipment is growing rapidly alongside tightening regulations. In 2021, the WHO halved its yearly average guideline limit for PM from 10 to 5 µg/m3


2.5 µg/m3 by 2040 has been set as the PM2.5 target. The EU Commission has proposed a reduction in the PM target to 10 µg/m3 2.5


. In the UK, under the Environment Act 2021, a maximum annual mean concentration of 10 by 2030, and the US Environmental


Protection Agency is currently considering recommendations from its independent particulate matter review panel to lower its target from 12 to between 8 and 10 µg/ m3.


Sensor + Test visitors can see ION’s latest sensing technology and discuss their applications with the technical experts on the stand.
