Prima PRO process mass spectrometer

Features

• Scanning magnetic-sector technology

• Up to 64-port Rapid Multistream Sampler (RMS)

• High analytical precision, accuracy, and stability

• Ideal for gas analysis in the petrochemical, iron and steel, and pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries

Analytical platform

The primary feature of the Prima PRO mass spectrometer is the magnetic sector analyzer. This field-proven technology has demonstrated the strongest performance for industrial on-line gas analysis. Magnetic sector technology offers precision, accuracy, long intervals between calibrations, and resistance to contamination. This is convenient in large batch manufacturing with lots of process materials, where the analyzer must be resilient to contamination to increase yield and profits.

Rapid multi-stream sampling

The unique RMS inlet system allows for the selection of 32 up to 64 streams and sets new standards for speed and reliability of multi-stream sampling and maintenance intervals. Avoid multiple gas chromatographs, extra maintenance of multiple instruments, and rely on one Prima PRO mass spectrometer to analyze up to 64 samples of gases simultaneously.

Cross-Industry applications

The analytical precision, accuracy and stability of the Prima PRO analyzer are desired characteristics across industries for gas analysis. Monitor gases with the Prima PRO analyzer during natural gas processig, olefin production, cracking furnace optimization, ethylene oxide and ammonia production. Optimize primary and secondary steel production and control iron processing with the Prima PRO gas analyzer. Achieve high yielf of product in cell cultures and fermentations in biotechnology and pharmaceutical applications.

Operating principles

The sample gas is introduced via a stream selector and a pressure reduction system. Using an electron emitting filament, the ionization chamber converts the sample molecules into ions which are positively charged molecules or parts of molecules. These ions are then separated according to their mass by a variable magnetic field. The different mass ions are then quantified by the detector.
