Toxic gas detector RAPIDplus

industrialreal-time

The RAPIDplus is a highly reliable and robust second generation stand-off detector that can automatically Detect, Identify and Monitor all known Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA) and important Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) at long distances. The one piece self contained systems provide real time detection and can be used on any platform or infrastructure, with an extended substance library. The instruments utilises Brukers proven RockSolid™ flex-pivot interferometer and can be operated whilst static or on the move with no degradation in performance. The software RAPIDplus Control VOM Software provides the user with enhanced visual surveillance and analytical displays overlaid on video and an increased detection capability. The RAPIDplus instrument has a real-time colour wide dynamic camera that supplement the intuitive operator displayed software. In the current industrial age, hazardous substances are produced, stored and shipped in large quantities. An accidental or deliberate release of such substances can result in a chemical cloud that endangers civil population and first responder. By means of classical analytical methods (e.g. Ion-Mobility Spectrometry, Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry, test papers) chemical clouds are only measureable if a detector operator enters that cloud. Using these standard techniques, the dimension and movement of such a cloud are not assessable. The RAPIDplus is a stand-off detector for the detection and identification of chemical agent clouds. The RAPIDPlus mounted onto a stationary tripod is able to detect ammonia in industrial complexes up to a distance of several kilometers.
