The Need

nnnn

Today's chemical producers and

nnnn

consumers are under tremendous

nnnn

pressure to cut costs, lower

nnnn

maintenance expenses, and improve

nnnn

product quality. In order to meet these

nnnn

demanding objectives, process

nnnn

engineers and operators need

nnnn

analytically capable and reliable

nnnn

process analyzers which require

nnnn

minimal maintenance and operator

nnnn

intervention. The analyzers also

nnnn

need to be easy to use and capable

nnnn

of communicating in a wide variety

nnnn

of ways. It is also a benefit if the

nnnn

Xe Flashlamp Lens

nnnn

analyzer is durable enough to be

nnnn

installed in outdoor, wash-down,

nnnn

hazardous, and other environmentally

nnnn

harsh locations.

nnnn

The Solution

nnnn

AMETEK's IPS-4 UV analyzer

nnnn

is a huge step forward in

nnnn

capability and reliability for process

nnnn

spectrophotometers. Using the most

nnnn

modern electronics and diode array

nnnn

technology, the IPS-4 is engineered

nnnn

to perform a wide variety of liquid

nnnn

and gas analyses using UV-VIS

nnnn

spectroscopy.

Analytical Performance

nnnn

The IPS-4 is capable of detecting,

nnnn

quantifying, and compensating

nnnn

for multiple chemicals of interest

nnnn

and interfering species. Up to

nnnn

eight analytes of interest can be

nnnn

measured simultaneously through

nnnn

the combination of a modern, diode

nnnn

array-based optical system with our

nnnn

proprietary process-ready electronics.

nnnn

This combination offers many

nnnn

advantages such as no moving parts,

nnnn

a high signal-to-noise ratio, minimized

nnnn

stray light effects, fast and full spectral

nnnn

acquisition, and wide dynamic range.

nnnn

These traits help to make the IPS-4 a

nnnn

highly capable process analyzer.

nnnn

Optical System

nnnn

The IPS-4 UV's optical system is

nnnn

designed to increase reliability

nnnn

and dramatically reduce the need

nnnn

for routine maintenance, thereby

nnnn

drastically cutting its cost of

nnnn

ownership. The lamp used in the

nnnn

optical system is a xenon flash

nnnn

lamp which has a greater than two

nnnn

year expected life. Use of the diode

nnnn

array and fixed optical bench means
