ALTAIR 5X PID What is a VOC? Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs are organic chemical compounds whose composition makes it possible for them to evaporate under normal indoor atmospheric conditions of temperature and pressure* Many compounds are toxic at very low levels…well before they near combustible levels Example: Benzene Occupational carcinogen (Toxic) & Combustible NIOSH Short-term exposure limit = 1 ppm LEL = 1.2% VOL or 12,000 ppm *Definition from United Stated EPA
ALTAIR 5X PID Common VOCs Solvents Paints Coatings Diesel Jet Fuel Gasoline Acetone Ethanol Benzene Butadiene Hexane Toluene Xylene MEK Ethylene Oxide Many Others
ALTAIR 5X PID Detection Technology Photoionization Detector Photo = Light (UV Light for PID sensor) Ionization = Energize molecules to lose electrons Detects flow of electrons More electrons = Higher concentration of gas Broad Spectrum – Does not differentiate gases Indicates the presence of many compounds Does not determine what the compound is Only works for compounds with lower Ionization Potential (IP) than PID lamp energy
ALTAIR 5X PID Detection Technology VOC molecule absorbs energy from the PID lamp in the ionization chamber VOC molecule is “excited” and loses an electron (e-) while becoming positively charged The VOC is now ionized and the detector measures the flow of electrons Sensor readings are directly proportional to number of VOC molecules ionized AIR VOC PID Lamp UV Light e- Anode Cathode Note: Only the VOC is ionized, Air is not ionized
ALTAIR 5X PID Detection Technology Compounds have different ionization energies Lamp energy must be higher than IP substance Phenol CAN be detected by 10.6eV lamp Methane can NOT be detected by 10.6eV lamp 10.6eV PID Sensor 7 Phenol 8.49 Methane 12.61 16 Lower Energy Required Higher Energy Required Ionization Energy eV
