These days technological advances are being welcomed in various industries, and the adaptability of these analyzers is set to grow and will drive the growth of the spectrometers segment of the market during the forecast period.
Gas and TOC analyzers
To comply with various environmental regulations, industries continuously need to check their gas emissions for pre-defined permissible levels. The portable gas analyzers offer cost-effective solutions to various industries and environmental monitoring organizations to keep harmful gasses in check. Emission standards shall be established for gases, such as nitrogen dioxide by burning fuel at high temperatures and compared with an analysis of the results already carried out. In power generation facilities, waste disposal sites, and exhaust gasses from diesel engines of vessels and vehicles, portable gas analyzers shall be used on-site to measure combustion gases from boilers and turbines. The analyzers also use a large-volume furnace to prevent severe-duty samples from plugging or failing prematurely and significantly extend routine maintenance intervals. This, in turn, will drive the growth of the gas and TOC analyzers segment of the market during the forecast period.
