PRODUCT’S INTRODUCTION
Searchpoint Optima Plus Point Infrared Gas Detector
Take advantage of HARTcommunication added to the proven performance of the market-leading hydrocarbonpoint infrared gas detector
With over 40 yearsexperience in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of pointinfrared gas detection, Honeywell Analytics currently has a worldwide installedbase of over 100,000 infrared point hydrocarbon gas detectors in a wide spectrumof applications from light industrial to the most demanding of offshoreenvironments.
Searchpoint Optima Plus is an infrared point Hydrocarbon gasdetector certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The unit’sinfrared detection principle offers the fastest speed of response andfail-to-safe operation, ensuring that your plant is compliant, your personnelare protected and your production process can deliver maximum uptime. Reducedroutine maintenance, when compared with conventional electro-catalytic basedgas detectors, provides low ongoing cost of ownership. The development ofadvanced internal fault diagnostics and false alarm rejection algorithmsensures that the Searchpoint Optima Plus delivers the highest level ofoperational integrity.
TypicalApplications
Offshore oil and gas platforms, floating production storage and offloading(FPSO) vessels, tankers, onshore oil and gas terminals, refineries, LNG/LPGbottling plants, gas compressor/metering stations, gas turbine power plants,solvent printing and coating plants.
Over 100 gas and vapor calibrations available. For a list of gases andvapours which Searchpoint Optima Plus can detect, contact your localdistributor.
