OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Hydrogen sulfide reacts specifically in presence of lead acetate by forming lead sulfide (Pbs)
Pb (Ac)2 + H2S = Pbs + 2 ACOH
The NOVASULFTM HG 400 Series measures the speed of darkening resulting from the formation of lead sulfide on the tape by means of a fiber optical photodetector. At the beginning of each measurement cycle, the tape advances to a new blank portion (spot) of the tape. As soon as the H2S reacts on the tape, the speed of darkening measurement is done by comparison with the calibration curve stored in the instrument memory. Several measurements are done on the same spot, up to the saturation level.
When saturated, the tape advances for a new measurement cycle. During the tape advances, the last measurement is held in the instrument memory. Using this method no zero or span drifts can occur. Furthermore, measurements can be achieved even on already darkened (polluted) spots as far as it does not reach the saturation point.
By measuring every millisecond and averaging every second, the instrument response time is very fast even at very low concentrations. The H2S concentration is directly digitally displayed in the required units (PPB, PPM…).
Several analog outputs are available including process and instrument failure relay contacts.
