1 SpectraSensors SS500 Mid-Sensitivity Moisture Analyzer Key Features Virtually Maintenance Free No Interference from glycol, methanol or amine contaminants (vapor phase) Fast and Accurate Real-time Measurements No wet-up or drydown delays Reliable in Harsh Environments Short Term Payback; No Consumables NIST-Traceable Calibration Analog and Digital Outputs for Remote Monitoring SpectraSensors SS500 has a lower detection limit of 2 lbs per Million SCF Natural Gas. Other than the reduced detection limit, the SS500 has all the benefits of the SS2000 including: RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY MEASUREMENTS Analysis software measures the amount of laser light absorbed by water molecules. This very sensitive method provides reliable readings because of the very specific wavelength that is being analyzed. FAST RESPONSE TIME The laser, detector, software and electronics are extremely fast. 4 measurements are taken every second. The display updates every 0.25 to 2 seconds (adjustable). NO CONSUMABLES The SS-Series sensor heads do not need regular in-field or factory calibration. The sensor heads do not need to be periodically reconditioned. The sensor does not make contact with the gas so it does not get contaminated. NO INTERFERENCE Gases such as methanol, amines and glycol are not a problem for the SS Series product line because of the line-spectroscopy technique that is employed. The technique relies on information at very narrow wavelength ranges where the water spectrum is completely isolated. PAYBACK A short payback period can be realized by eliminating the cost of consumables, extra sensor heads, and the labor and overhead associated with excessive maintenance. Additionally, intangible (but real) costs associated with unreliable gas measurements can be reduced. For example, added processing steps, poor gas quality and the possibility of costly damage to equipment can result from sensors that produce incorrect data. The potential savings easily justify the need for a reliable, fast and maintenance free solution such as the SpectraSensors SS500 moisture analyzer. $60k $40k $20k Year 1 Year 5 Year 10 $0 SS500 Quartz Al 2 O 3 Crystal Comparison Graph Demonstrates the ongoing impact to the bottom line.

3 SpectraSensors SS1000 Portable Gas Analyzer Key Features Virtually Maintenance Free No Interference from glycol, methanol or amine contaminants (vapor phase) Fast and Accurate Real-time Measurements No wet-up or drydown delays Short Term Payback; No Consumables NIST-Traceable Calibration Ask about other available products: SS2000 Gas Analyzer with Sample Conditioning Panel SpectraSensors SS1000 Portable Moisture Analyzer is a highly mobile, battery-powered moisture or carbon dioxide analyzer utilizing the same extraordinary sensor technology as the SS2000. The instrument is designed for convenience and allows for fast and easy measurements in the field. The SS-Series analyzers take measurements FAST 4 times per second with a laser and detector and average the results. The laser does not contact the gas, so these real-time measurements are not hampered by wet-ups or dry-downs as with surfacedbased sensors. Using state-of-the-art technology RELIABLE developed by NASA/JPL, the SS-Series analyzers are more reliable and repeatable than surface based sensors and not subject to the interpretation errors of a chilled mirror. The portable units are designed for fast hookups and contain their own power supply. Commonly, the portable is used to verify measurements and for spotchecking when other methods provide questionable results. In applications such as natural gas pipelines or petrochemical process control, poor quality measurement results are extremely costly. For example, additional processing or dehydration costs, upset conditions, shut-ins, and inconsistent process results may be caused by sensors that do not perform properly. The SS1000 can reveal poorly performing sensors, pinpoint high moisture or low BTU sources and can be used as a standard for measurement validation. NO INTERFERENCE SpectraSensors has combined our special lasers with control electronics and "smart" software to create an analyzer that requires no sensor element in contact with the sample gas stream. The result is an analyzer which does not suffer from contamination or drift due to vapor impurities such as glycol, methanol, amines, hydrogen sulfide, or mercaptans. PAYBACK The SS1000 sensor heads are not subjected to corrosives or contaminants in the gas stream because the sensor is a photonic device that is isolated from the actual gas. A quick payback period can be realized by eliminating the cost of consumables, extra sensor heads, factory calibrations, and the labor and overhead associated with excessive maintenance. Moreover, the problems caused by unreliable gas measurements such as added processing steps and poor gas quality can be eliminated by using the SS1000.These savings easily justify the need for a reliable, fast and maintenance free solution such as the SpectraSensors SS1000 portable analyzer PPM Reliability and Speed are ultimately critical in process measurements, especially with a portable unit.

7 SpectraSensors SS2100/SS2200 Process Gas Analyzer High Resolution Spectrometer Simple design, trouble -free operation Robust laser light source Fast Response, no wet-up or dry-down No interference or drift from contaminants Reliable in harsh enviroments Available in single or dual channel for various applications & sensitivities Spectrum software tool Serial and analog outputs The SS2100 is an exceptionally reliable gas analyzer used to measure trace levels of gas components using Tunable Laser Diode Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS). This technology is a form of infrared spectroscopy in which the light source is a diode laser, giving the SS2100 the benefit of long life, simplicity and reliability. Additionally, the SS2100 utilizes an high-resolution technique that allows it to measure specific gases with very high accuracy. The SS2100 analyzers take measurements 4 times pet second with a laser and detector and averages the results. These real-time measurements are not hampered by wet-ups (absorption) or dry-downs (desorption) as with surfaced-based sensors because the laser does not contact the gas. Trustworthy measurements are vital in process analytical applications. The SS2100 does not require regular maintenance and calibration or periodic replacement parts due to the inherent characteristics of TDLAS technology. Because the measurement is the percent of absorbed light that travels through a gas sample, the sensor is unaffected by contaminants and corrosives. The analyzer measures a spectral feature that can be displayed as a peak. The software uses peak tracking to maintain the center of the peak which eliminates the possibility of drift. The diode laser is a solid-state semiconductor device. The useful life of the laser is many times longer than incandescent sources. The instrument has no choppers or other moving parts to replace. The SS2100 comes with analog, serial, and Modbus outputs as well as a functionally intuitive touchpad and LCD screen interface. Installation is as easy as plugging it in and turning it on because there are no start up calibrations or procedures. SpectrumPlot software provides easy-to-analyze text and graphics on laptop or desktop PC computers. The analyzer is available in a single-channel (SS2100) or dual-channel (SS2200) package and each channel can be configured for a variety of measurements. An assortment of sample cell lengths and tunable laser wavelengths provide sensitivity in the parts-per-billion for many applications in the refining, natural gas, bulk gas, semiconductor, and environmental monitoring industries. Components that can be measured include moisture (H2O), carbon monoxide/dioxide (CO & CO2), ammonia (NH3), nitric oxide (NO), hydrochloric acid (HCI), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ethylene oxide (ETO), hydrofluoric acid (HF), methane (CH4), Oxygen (O2) and more. 972 North Amelia Avenue San Dimas, CA Tel: Fax:
