RLGA Extreme Raman Analyzer – Advanced Multi-Stream, Multi-Component Gas Analysis
The RLGA Extreme Raman Analyzer sets a new standard in industrial gas analysis, combining the speed, sensitivity, and reliability of intra-cavity Raman spectroscopy with a rugged design built for demanding process environments. Designed for real-time, multi-component measurement, the RLGA Extreme provides operators with accurate, actionable data for process optimization, safety, and environmental compliance.
​
Whether your operation involves chemical production, steam methane reforming (SMR), ammonia production, bioenergy, sulfur recovery units (SRUs), or refining and petrochemical processes, the RLGA Extreme is engineered to deliver fast, precise, and reliable measurements across multiple process streams.
Fast, Real-Time Analysis
​
Many industrial processes require rapid measurement to support near real-time control loops and fast alerting. Traditional Gas Chromatographs (GCs) can take several minutes or more to produce a single measurement, which may not be fast enough for critical process decisions. In contrast, ARI Analyzers deliver measurements in as little as 1 second, giving operators near-instant insights for optimized process control.
Compared to Mass Spectrometers, which are highly capable but often complex and maintenance-intensive due to components like ion sources, extreme vacuum systems, and computational models, ARI Analyzers offer simpler, more reliable performance. With virtually no moving parts and minimal maintenance requirements, the RLGA Extreme is ideal for harsh industrial environments, where uptime is critical and skilled service personnel are limited.
Multi-Stream, Multi-Component Capability
​
Many industrial processes require the simultaneous measurement of 6 or more gases, and in some cases up to 16 components, to ensure product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. Traditional absorption-based methods, like NDIR or TDLAS, are often limited in the number and type of gases they can measure. While FTIR analyzers can overcome some of these limitations, they struggle with core process gases such as Oâ‚‚, Nâ‚‚, and Hâ‚‚ and often rely on complex models and software.
The RLGA Extreme Raman Analyzer solves this problem with the ability to measure up to 16 gas species simultaneously, including all major process gases except noble gases. With multi-stream capability allowing seamless switching between up to 8 process streams, the RLGA Extreme provides a complete, real-time view of complex industrial processes, ensuring optimized efficiency, safety, and emissions compliance.
