What is FTIR Gas Analysis at Element?
FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red) gas analysis is an advanced emissions measurement technique that identifies and quantifies multiple gas compounds simultaneously in stack emissions. At Element, we use this powerful technology to analyze both organic and inorganic compounds onsite, detecting their unique infrared fingerprints. This allows for immediate comparison between your process conditions and actual emissions, delivering actionable, real-time insights for compliance and operational efficiency.
