VOCAM™ (Volatile Organic Chemical Air Monitor)
Portable GC PID, Gas Chromatograph with Photoionization Detector
for Detecting Volatile Organic Compound (VOCs) in Air
PORTABLE GAS CHROMATOGRAPH GC FOR VOCS IN AIR
The VOCAM™ can detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air delivering lab-quality results in less than 10 minutes. It is a high-resolution GC system specifically designed for remote monitoring.
The VOCAM™ GC will detect chemicals in addition to semi-volatile organic compounds such as naphthalene. It can detect VOCs at sub-part-per-billion levels or at high part-per-million levels depending on its configuration.
The VOCAM™ is highly customizable. The OEM unit can be integrated into your own system and/or you can purchase the fully integrated system in an enclosure, as shown.
Offering this type of customization allows the VOCAM™ to suit a variety of applications. VOCAM™ operators can use it to determine trace amounts of suspected benzene at hydraulic fracturing sites or at refinery fence-lines while the results are reported to the web. Other applications include using VOCAM to monitor worker exposure to solvents used in the workplace. This is all done without waiting for results from an offsite lab.
