ABB Sensi+ ™ NG: Multi-contaminant analyzer for natural gas and biogas
ABB Sensi+™ Natural Gas Analyzer, part of the GLA533 Wall-mount Series, brings precise, real‑time monitoring of gas contaminants into a single, rugged package ideal for demanding industrial, pipeline, and custody-transfer environments. With integrated OA‑ICOS laser spectroscopy, it detects H₂S, CO₂, H₂O, and O₂ simultaneously, empowering operators with immediate visibility into gas composition and enabling rapid, data-driven decisions.
Why Choose ABB Sensi+? Efficiency Meets Accuracy
- One analyzer. Multiple contaminants.
Consolidates what traditionally required several devices into a compact wall-mounted unit, saving space and simplifying deployment.
- Down‑to‑the‑minute insights
With lightning-fast refresh rates and advanced cross‑interference suppression, it keeps readings sharp and error-free.
- Low maintenance, low cost
Requires no routine calibration. Analyzes samples directly with minimal gas flow, reducing consumables and environmental waste
Built for Industrial Resilience
- Hazardous‑area ready
The hermetically sealed, flame‑proof housing resists harsh conditions, simplifying installation without complex purging systems.
- Save wall space
Compact and modular, it installs neatly on overhead or plant walls, freeing up operational floor area.
- Service made simple
A modular, user-friendly design allows technicians; regardless of laser-spectroscopy experience, to perform quick and effective maintenance.
