Chemical Process Monitoring
Distributed Sensor Arrays: A New Architecture for Process Mass Spectrometers (PMS)

Problems with "mainframe" PMS:

  • Large, expensive, high maintenance costs
  • Long sample lines are expensive to install and maintain
  • Time-multiplexed sample point analysis
  • Mainframe failure brings down entire system

    Distributed Array Solution:
  • Small distributed sensors feature low-cost, disposable analyzers
  • At-point sensors eliminate long sample lines
  • Dedicated, real-time monitoring and control
  • System tolerant of individual sensor failures

    Ceramitron sensors offer a flexible, scalable solution as plant needs change.

    ISA and NeSSI-compatible—Small footprint Ceramitron sensors are ideal for integration into the latest ANSI ISA-SP76 sampling system configurations and the exciting NeSSI architecture currently under development.

    A microscale Ceramitron MS sensor on a NeSSI Generation II or III footprint could provide a significant OEM advantage in the highly competitive chemical and gas process monitoring market.
