Extrel™ MAX300-RTG™ 2.0 – Real-Time Industrial Gas Analyzer for Advanced Process Control

The MAX300-RTG™ 2.0 by EXTREL, a division of Process Insights, is a next-generation quadrupole mass spectrometer designed for real-time industrial gas analysis. Built for demanding environments, this system delivers continuous, high-precision monitoring of gas stream compositions, supporting process optimization, environmental compliance, and safety-critical applications.

Unmatched Quadrupole Technology

At the heart of the MAX300-RTG 2.0 is EXTREL’s industry-leading 19mm quadrupole mass filter, offering:

• Near-zero mass scale drift for long-term stability
• Uniform resolution across the mass range for consistent sensitivity
• Extreme resistance to corrosion and contamination
• High-speed analysis – full stream composition in seconds
• Wide dynamic range – from parts-per-trillion (ppt) to 100% concentration

This enables detection of both trace and bulk components with a single analyzer, reducing the need for multiple instruments and simplifying system architecture.

Intuitive Operation & Automation

The MAX300-RTG 2.0 features a 15″ touchscreen interface for easy operation and full access to Questor® 5 software, allowing users to:

• Configure unlimited analysis routines and data tags
• Automate sampling across 160+ sample points using a multi-port selector
• Perform manual or fully automated calibration and validation
• Integrate seamlessly with control systems via Modbus TCP/IP, analog/digital I/O, fiber optics, and more

Real-Time Process Insights

The system instantly calculates and transmits key control parameters such as:

• BTU value
• Specific gravity
• Wobbe Index

These metrics are critical for optimizing combustion, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring product quality.

Industrial Applications

The MAX300-RTG 2.0 is trusted across a wide range of industries:

• Oil & Gas – natural gas composition, leak detection, flare gas analysis
• Power Generation – emissions monitoring, fuel gas BTU analysis
