One device for every purpose:
The new gas analyzer system GMS800 performs even better than its predecessor.

With the successor GMS800  the field of application of the approved extractive all-rounder S700 has notably  been enlarged. Part of the new series is for example the multifunctional DEFOR photometer module for measurements in the UV range. With this device even the smallest levels of NO, NO₂ and SO₂, – for example in the exhaust of gas turbines – can be monitored. The GMS800 can also measure H₂S in the natural gas industry and in biogas plants. Further innovations like the very latest in evaluation electronics and an Ethernet interface for data transfer and remote maintenance make it even more interesting for plant and system manufacturers to rely on “one system for everything” for extractive analysis.

Since 2000, the S700 for extractive gas measurement has been one of the most popular and widely spread products of SICK’s process automation line. The successful series was now completely revised and enlarged. The successor GMS800 was introduced to a broad audience for the first time in 2010 during the SICK Process Automation Innovation Week.

The flexible system uses the reliable measuring principles NDIR, thermal conductibility, paramagnetic and electro-chemical O₂ measurement, UV resonance absorption spectrometry (UVRAS) and non-dispersive UV photometry (NDUVF). With currently 6 analyzer modules, one gas module, I/O modules as well as different housing types it covers all extractive measuring tasks and situations. This means advantages for plant operators regarding purchasing, maintenance and service. Moreover, the GMS800 is equipped with the latest software and it offers all interfaces required for the connection to a process control system or the remote control with an OPC server or Modbus.

Qualification test according to EN 15267-3
In the system rack MAC800, the GMS800 was subjected as the first emission system of all to a complete qualification test according to the new standard EN 15267-3 which ensures the device’s suitability for the future. Thanks to its QAL1 certificate, the use of the GMS800 in facilities subject to approval is therefore no problem.
 
Over 60 components in process gases
The GMS800 can now register 60 different gas components in the process gases of chemical and petrochemical plants. It can record for example the concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in reactive or sour gases. With it’s extremely reliable CO monitoring, the system is able to restrict the danger of smouldering fires in coal mills and silos and it controls the danger of explosion by stack gas in furnaces or coke ovens. In hydrogen production, the GMS800 registers even the smallest concentrations of CO in H₂ and grants an efficient quality control in air separation plants and for the purity measurement of gases.

With the DEFOR-module also useful in gas turbines
The new all-rounder is suitable for the monitoring of lowest toxics in power, cement and waste incineration plants as well as in the paper and pulp industry. With the UV spectral analyzer DEFOR as a new additional module, the GMS800 can moreover be excellently be used for gas turbines, in power plants, DeNOx or desulfurization plants to measure even the smallest concentrations of SO₂, NO- and NO₂. The DEFOR module controls NOx in denitrification systems by measuring NO and NO₂ directly and by adding it up to NOx in the analyzing device. Plant operators on longer need special CLD analyzers or NO₂-converters.

Thanks to our sophisticated temperature control, the GMS800 modules offer drift-free, reliable measurements entirely independent of the ambient temperature. Moreover the measurement modules DEFOR, UNOR and MULTOR run without expensive test gases owing to optional automatic adjustment units. For the low-priced system integration, standardized 19" housings are available or system housings optimized for the integration into racks. For the rough industrial use different wall mounting enclosures certified for explosion zones according to ATEX can be chosen from.
