Continuous Gas Analyzers, in situ
Introduction
■ Overview
In-situ process gas analysis
Process gas analyzers are used for continuous determination of
the concentrations of one or more gases in a gaseous mixture.
Determination of the concentration of gases in a process is used
to control and monitor process flows, and is therefore decisive
for the automation and optimization of processes and ensuring
product quality. In addition, process gas analyzers are used to
check emissions, thus making an important contribution to envi-
ronmental protection, as well as for ensuring compliance with
statutory directives.
In-situ analytical procedures feature physical measurements in
the flow of process gas, usually also directly in the actual pro-
cess gas line. In contrast to extractive gas analysis, a sample is
not taken and routed onto the analyzer via a sample line and
3 sample conditioning. Only in exceptional cases, the process
conditions make it necessary to condition the sample gas
stream in a bypass line with respect to process temperature,
pressure and/or optical path length. Further conditioning of the
process gas, such as drying or dust precipitation, is not re-
quired. The analyzer carrying out in-situ measurements must al-
ways take into account changing process conditions (if these
occur) and be able to automatically process them in the calibra-
tion model. Active temperature and pressure compensation is
frequently required for this. In addition, the analyzer must be ex-
tremely rugged since its sensors have direct contact with the
process gas.
The fast and non-contact measurement of gas concentrations
and temperatures directly in the process is the domain of in-situ
diode laser gas analyzers. The gas analyzer LDS 6 combines
the compact and service-friendly design, simple operation and
network capability of the Series 6 analyzers with the well-known
exceptional performance data of in-situ gas analysis - namely
high ruggedness and availability as well as low maintenance -
by using diode laser technology and fiber-optics.
3/2 Siemens PA 01 · 2008
A maintenance-free reference gas cell integrated in the analyzer
means that no calibration gases are required in the field. Remote
scanning and diagnostics of the analyzers is possible at any
time and (almost) any place using the Ethernet interface present
as standard.
Up to three in-situ cross duct sensors (which are also optionally
available in an intrinsically-safe design for operation in hazard-
ous areas) can be combined with an analyzer in the compact
19“ rack housing. The distance between the analyzer location -
typically an existing instrument room or the process plant's con-
trol room - and the max. three measuring points can be up to
1000 m in each case.
The list of gas components currently measurable using NIR di-
ode laser technology already includes O2, NH3, HCl, HF, H2O,
CO, CO2, ... and is being constantly extended along with the de-
velopment of laser technology. The O2 analyzers additionally al-
low simultaneous non-contact determination of high process
gas temperatures.
Diode laser gas measurements feature exceptional selectivity.
Neither high process temperatures, nor high and varying con-
centrations of particles in the gas have an influence on the qual-
ity of the result within wide limits. For example, it is possible to
determine trace concentrations of NH3, HCl or HF directly in
moist process gases even before any gas purification stage.
These features together with fast measurements free of dead
times mean that diode laser gas analysis with the LDS 6 is an ex-
tremely interesting alternative to established extractive analy-
ses.

LDS 6
General

■ Function
Operating principle
LDS 6 is a gas analyzer employing single-line molecular absorp-
tion spectroscopy. A diode laser emits a beam of near-infrared
light, which passes through the process gas and is detected by
a receiver unit. The wavelength of the laser diode output is tuned
to a gas-specific absorption line. The laser continuously scans
this single absorption line with a very high spectral resolution.
The result is a fully resolved single molecular line which is ana-
lyzed in terms of absorption strength and line shape. The influ-
ence of crossinterferences on the measurement is negligible,
since the quasi-monochromatic laser light is absorbed very se-
lectively by only one specific molecular line in the scanned
spectral range.

Typical transmitted light setup of LDS 6
To avoid contamination of sensor openings on the process side,
clean gaseous purging media are used such as instrument air,

Measuring configuration of LDS 6 with heated flow cell
General $EVRUSWLRQOLQH
LDS 6 is connected to the measuring points by fiber optics. The
laser light is guided through a single mode fiber from the central
unit to the transmitter unit of the in-situ sensor. The sensor con-
sists of a transmitter and a receiver; the distance between them
defines the measurement path. In the receiver box, the light is fo- 
cused onto a suitable detector. The detector signal is then con-
verted into an optical signal and transmitted via a second optical
fiber to the central unit, where the concentration of the gas com-
ponent is determined from the detected absorption signal.
LDS 6 usually measures a single gas component by means of 
the absorption strength of a single fully resolved molecular ab-
sorption line. The absorption results from conversion of the radi- /DVHUOLQH
ation energy of the laser light into the internal energy of the mol-
ecule. In the working range of the LDS 6, both rotation-vibration Typical spectral bandwidth of an absorption line compared to the band-

triggered.
In some specific cases, two components can be measured si-
multaneously if their absorption lines are so close to each other
that they can be detected within the laser spectrum by one sin-
gle scan (for example water (H2O) and ammonia (NH3)).

Influences on the measurement
• Dust load
As long as the laser beam is able to generate a suitable de-
tector signal, the dust load of the process gases does not in-
fluence the analytical result. By applying a dynamic back-
ground correction, measurements can be carried out without
any negative impact. Under good conditions, particle densi-
ties up to 100 g/Nm3 can be handled by the LDS 6. Variation
dust load is compensated by scanning the laser over the gas
absorption line and the inherent background. At a scan posi-
tion next to the absorption line, the instrument can "see" only
absorption caused by the dust load where at the line center
the signal is composed of the molecular absorption and the
continuous, unspecific background absorption. With the
wavelength modulation technique, the actual measured trans-
mission is always compared with the baseline. After signal
processing, a lock-in detection scheme delivers a signal only
from the molecular line free of background.
The influence from high dust load is complex and is depen-
dent of path length and particle size. At longer path length the
optical attenuation increases. Smaller particles also have a
very big impact on the optical attenuation. At a combination of
high dust load, long pathlength and small particle size, the
technical support at Siemens should be consulted.
• Temperature
The temperature influence on the absorption line strength is
compensated by a correction factor determined during cali-
bration. A temperature signal can be fed into the instrument
from an external temperature sensor. The signal is then used
for correction of the influence of the temperature on the ob-
served line intensity. If the temperature of the sample gas re-
mains constant, it is alternatively possible to carry out a static
correction using a preset value.
At high temperatures there may be noticeable broadband IR
radiation of gas and dust, or flames may occasionally occur in
the measurement path. In this case the detector is protected
by an optical bandpass filter to prevent saturation by the
strong background radiation.
• Pressure
The gas pressure will affect the line shape of the molecular ab-
sorption line. LDS 6 uses a special algorithm to adapt the line
shape. Additionally, an external pressure signal can be fed to
the instrument to provide complete compensation for the pres-
sure influence including the density effect.
• Cross interferences
Since LDS 6 derives its signal from a single fully resolved mo-
lecular absorption line, cross interferences with other gases
are quite unlikely. LDS 6 is therefore able to measure the de-
sired gas components very selectively. In special cases, the
composition of the process gas might have an influence on
the shape of the absorption line features. This influence is
compensated by analyzing the full shape of the detected sig-
nal curve applying specific algorithms.
LDS 6
General
• Optical path length
The absorption values analyzed by the LDS 6 are typically
small. As a result of Beer-Lambert’s law, the extinction of laser
light depends on the optical path length within the gas. There-
fore, the precision in determining the effective optical path
length in the process might limit the overall precision of the
measurement.
As the sensor openings toward the process normally need to
be purged to keep them clean over a long period of time, the
thickness of the mixing zone between the purging media and
the process gas and its concentration distribution need to be
considered. In a typical in-situ installation with some meters of
path, the influence of the purging gas on the effective path
length can be neglected.
Path length and dust load are mutually influencing: the higher
the dust load in the process, the shorter the max. possible
path length.
Maintenance and fault messages
LDS 6 signals different warnings via relays:
3
• Need for maintenance (measured value is not influenced)
• Operating error (measured value might be influenced)
Note
Individual requirements for the measuring point can make the
utilization of special sensor equipment necessary. The possibili-
ties for adapting the sensors are:
• Different purging media, such as instrument air, ambient air,
nitrogen or steam
• Different purging modes on process and sensor sides
• Special materials of purging tubes and/or sensor flanges
• EEx-proof sensor configurations
Essential characteristics
• Integrated calibration adjustment with an internal reference
cell
• Negligible long-term drifts of zero and span
• Dynamic background correction for varying dust loads
• Isolated signal outputs of 4 to 20 mA
• User-friendly, menu-driven operator control
• Selectable time constants (response time)
• Two user levels with individual access codes for prevention of
unwanted and unauthorized operations
• Operation according to NAMUR recommendations
• Monitoring of overall optical transmission
• Remote preventive maintenance, and servicing via Ether-
net/Modem
• Straightforward replacement of the central unit, since connec-
tions can easily be removed
• Sensor and central unit housing free of wear and corrosion
• Easy operation with a numerical keypad and menu prompting
Certified versions for emission monitoring
The LDS 6 is available as certified instrument for emission mon-
itoring of ammonia, water and the combination of both. The cer-
tificates are issued by TÜV for Germany and MCERTS for the
United Kingdom. For conducting regular calibration and linearity
checks, test kits for ammonia and water should be used. These
kits can be ordered separately as instrument accessory. For new
analyser orders, kits named „version 2“ have to be ordered. For
already installed analysers, please contact Siemens for spotting
the correct kit version, or consult the instrument manual.

The influence from high dust load is very complex and is dependent of
path length and particle size. At longer path length the optical attenuation
increases exponentially. Smaller particles also have a very big impact on
the optical attenuation. If dust load is high, path length is long and parti-
cles are small technical support at Siemens should be consulted.

ceiver unit contains a photodetector and an electronics PCB,
and is connected to the transmitter unit by a loop cable.
The sensors are mounted onto flanges. The easiest way to avoid
condensation and dust deposits on the sensor windows is to
purge them, e.g. with instrument air. Purging must be selected
depending on the application. The cross-duct sensors can
therefore be configured for the respective situation. The applica-
tion reference table provides recommendations for suitable
purging for the standard applications.
3 If a component is to be measured which is also present in mea-
surable quantities in the purging medium - such as oxygen or
moisture - it is necessary to use purging gases such as nitrogen,
superheated process steam or similar. In such cases it is usually Increased purging on process side

DN 80/PN 16 or ANSI 4“/150 lbs. The optical surface to the pro-
cess is borosilicate glass. Flanges can be equipped with win-
dow purging, but without purging tubes. Possible purge modes
for the window flanges are „A-C“ (no purging or moderate purg-
ing on the process side). Window flanges are tested for leakage
before delivery at over pressure and show leakage rates of less
than 10-5 mbar·l/s.
For ordering this application, the MLFB code of the central unit
with the application code „P“ has to be selected. The suitable
process interface for the sensors can be chosen by selection of
the 6th configurable position of the MLFB number.
The most important sensor purging configurations are presented

purge gases are nitrogen or carbondioxide. The flow of purging
gas required in this case is approx. 1 to 6 l/min and can be set
using a needle valve (included in delivery). The combination
shown here of purging with superheated process steam on the
process side and with nitrogen from a compressed gas bottle on
the sensor side may satisfy the necessity for O2-free purging
e.g. also in combustion plants with boilers without own nitrogen
network.

Sensor configuration with high purging on process side, with 6 mm joint

The purging media used on the process side flow through purg-
ing gas tubes into the process gas stream. The tubes extend a
few centimeters into the process area, usually perpendicular to
process gas flow. This results in a cut-off edge being generated
in the inlet zone of the purging gas. The effective measuring path
in the process gas is therefore well-defined as the distance be-
tween the ends of the two purging gas inlet tubes.
