PLGA-1000
Process Laser Gas Analyzer
The PLGA-1000 Process Laser Gas Analyzer is designed to measure hydrocarbons and other gases contained in process gases at petrochemical plants. It uses proprietary IRLAM™ technology to continuously measure low concentrations of acetylene (C2H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) as impurities in high‑concentration methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6), delivering high‑speed, high‑sensitivity performance.
Why Choose PLGA-1000
- Probe‑type optical system for in‑situ HCl measurement
- Both laser and receiver on same‑side probe for compact operation
- Single‑flange installation reduces setup complexity
- Easy swap‑in replacement with existing analyzers
- Stabilized optical axis ensures measurement precision
- Continuous moisture correction maintains accuracy in humid gases

Key Advantages of PLGA-1000
Simplified installation
Minimizes installation complexity in tight stacks
Robust measurement stability
Ensures repeatable HCl readings over long‑term operation
Precise moisture compensation
Maintains accuracy in high‑humidity flue gases
Compact probe design
Saves space and simplifies maintenance access
