There are two configuration options for the Thermo Scientific™ TVA2020 Toxic Vapor Analyzer: dual detection FID and PID (photo ionization detector) or FID (flame ionization detector). Reduced response times, improved user-serviceability, and Bluetooth™ connectivity are some salient benefits.
Easy-to-Own and Operate
The TVA2020 Toxic Vapor Analyzer is more portable than most standalone FID analyzers and 21% lighter than previous generations. In addition to being easy to service in the field, the lightweight and compact design minimizes fatigue and ensures genuine portability. A basic or upgraded probe, carrying case, and hydrogen filling assembly are among the many other choices that are available.
Optional Bluetooth connectivity sends concentration data to a handheld device with the LDAR software database, eliminating the need to download files after monitoring and providing improved access to route information.
The Technology Users Expect
Detect gas leaks from refineries and chemical industries to ensure compliance with the US EPA Method 21 and LDAR programs. The TVA2020 Toxic Vapor Analyzer has a high-sensitivity FID for measuring organic chemicals. The FID technique provides a large dynamic and linear range, resulting in steady and reproducible responses.
The analyzer supports FID and PID technologies, allowing simultaneous detection and better analytical capabilities. This dual setup can produce faster readings of organic and inorganic compounds than a single detector technology and offers more complete gas coverage than equivalent-size PID and FID analyzers.
After conducting a main calibration (a calibration kit is provided), the TVA2020 Analyzer can be configured by enabling internal recording settings, downloading a monitoring route, connecting via Bluetooth, setting alarm levels, and activating reaction factors.
