As environmental regulations become more stringent and as more gaseous pollutants need to be monitored, there is a need for a cost-effective measurement technique to evaluate emissions from electric generating units and other processing facilities. A Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analyzer is a solution for this issue. FTIR analysis is a technology that generates real-time emissions data at high sensitivities. FTIR analyzers can measure nearly all gaseous compounds while requiring little to no calibration. The two biggest advantages that FTIR analysis has over traditional measurement methodologies are its ability to measure many different gaseous species simultaneously and its ability to generate immediate results.
