Laser Methane
AMMONIA
Portable outdoor and indoor ammonia detector
Ammonia (NH₃) is widely used in various industries. It's a toxic gas that requires strict safety control. In high concentrations, ammonia can cause severe eye and respiratory irritation, and prolonged exposure can be fatal. In addition, at elevated concentrations, ammonia becomes combustible, posing additional risks to large industrial facilities. TGES has developed its own advanced gas analyzer to provide reliable detection and monitoring of ammonia leaks.

How LMA works
TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) technology uses a tunable diode laser for precise gas analysis. The laser emits a narrow beam of light at a specific wavelength that matches the absorption characteristics of the target gas. When this beam passes through the gas and reflects off a surface, part of the light is absorbed by gas molecules. A sensor captures the reflected beam, and the gas concentration is determined by measuring the reduction in light intensity.
