Several FPI instruments have obtained IECEx and GOST EAC 012 explosion protection certifications. IECEx (the International Electrotechnical Commission System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres) and GOST EAC 012 (the Eurasian Economic Union certification for explosion-protected equipment) are both internationally recognized and authoritative certification systems. They represent the rigorous testing of product safety and reliability against international standards for use in flammable, explosive, and other high-risk operating environments.
The FPI products that have obtained these two certifications include:
IECEx:
- ProGC-3600 Industrial Online Chromatography Analyzer: An industrial chromatography analyzer independently developed by FPI with fully independent intellectual property rights. It integrates high-precision column-switching and sampling technologies to enable rapid and comprehensive analysis of gas components, distinguishing it from traditional benchtop models. Designed for continuous operation in demanding environments, it ensures minimal sample loss and high-fidelity data quality, making it an indispensable tool for optimizing industrial processes.
- LGA-4100/4500/8100/8500: FPI’s LGA systems utilize proprietary tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology to meet in-situ and extractive measurement requirements with high accuracy, rapid response, high reliability, and virtually maintenance-free operation.
GOST EAC 012 (Explosion Protection Certification):
- ProGC-3600 Industrial Online Chromatography Analyzer: The ProGC-3600 excels in industries where highly accurate gas analysis is essential. Its rugged design enables seamless integration into existing workflows, providing practical insights for process optimization and compliance assurance.
- LGA-4100/LGA-4500: With more than 8,000 systems installed, LGA systems are widely used in combustion and safety control, process optimization, energy recovery, scientific research, and environmental monitoring. To date, these instruments have been deployed in metallurgy, refining, petrochemicals, natural gas, power generation, waste incineration, cement production, and other industrial applications requiring gas measurement.
- LGA-4500IC Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) Trace Gas Analyzer: A trace gas analyzer that combines tunable diode laser (TDL) absorption spectroscopy with Herriott cell enhancement technology to achieve precise gas concentration measurements at the ppm and ppb levels, with sensitivity hundreds of times higher than conventional methods.
- OMA-3510 SRU Analyzer: An analyzer specifically designed to accurately measure H₂S and SO₂ concentrations in the tail gas of Claus-process sulfur recovery units. The system consists of a pressure-reducing probe, a sample conditioning system, and an analyzer, providing extremely rapid and accurate response for stringent process control.
