Sulfur Dioxide Gas Detector

Sulfur Dioxide Gas Detector

$2,170.00

Product Summary

The PureAire Sulfur Dioxide Fixed Gas Detector is designed for continuous, real-time monitoring of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) gas. Featuring a dedicated electrochemical sensor calibrated in parts-per-million (ppm), the detector delivers accurate, immediate detection of SO₂ leaks to help maintain safe working conditions and prevent environmental hazards.

Sulfur dioxide is commonly used in water treatment, pulp and paper processing, food preservation, and chemical manufacturing. It is also a byproduct in fossil fuel combustion and metal smelting. Because SO₂ is a toxic, irritating gas that affects the respiratory system and can corrode equipment, continuous monitoring is critical in areas where it’s used or generated.

PureAire’s SO₂ sensors are engineered for long-lasting use—up to 8 years under typical industrial conditions. They are also easily rechargeable on-site with electrolyte, minimizing both downtime and maintenance costs.

For facilities involved in water treatment, industrial processing, or emissions control, PureAire offers a durable, low-maintenance sulfur dioxide gas detection system that supports regulatory compliance and workplace safety.

Please note that because of the nature of this product, the lead time is typically 2-3 days but may be up to one week. We will make every effort to ship your order as soon as possible.

The PureAire Sulfer Dioxide Gas Detector is a compact fixed gas monitor that’s ideal for protecting workers from toxic and corrosive gas exposure in the workplace. It consists of a transmitter/controller connected to a dedicated, renewable sulfur dioxide gas sensor that automatically inputs the gas and measurement range. Designed as a stand-alone monitor, the Sulfur Dioxide Gas Detector can also be connected to any programmable logic controller or SCADA system. PureAire also manufactures toxic gas detectors with a remote sensor. 

The heart of the Sulfur Dioxide Gas Detector is a smart, renewable sulfur dioxide sensor cell programmed with specific gas and measurement range information. When servicing the sensors, they can be recharged with fresh electrolyte and dynamically gas-calibrated in the maintenance shop away from the transmitter.

 

Sampling Method Diffusion. (Optional: sensor can be remote up to 30 feet from the transmitter)

Low Annual Operation Cost

The PureAire Sulfur Dioxide Gas Detector offers the lowest annual maintenance costs of any gas detection system on the market. Engineered with renewable SO₂ sensor technology, the detector allows for easy recharging with electrolyte directly in the field, at just 20% of the cost of disposable sensor cell systems. With routine maintenance materials priced at only $70 per year, your facility can realize significant long-term savings while ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

True Stand-Alone Sulfur Dioxide Gas Monitoring

This stand-alone SO₂ gas detector is engineered for simple installation and immediate operation. Mount the unit near your sulfur dioxide risk area, plug the regulated power supply into any standard 115VAC 60Hz or 220VAC 50Hz outlet, and start monitoring instantly. The system features a built-in horn and LED alarm indicators for instant alerts in case of elevated gas levels. Additional features include dedicated alarm and fault relays for external device integration and a 4–20mA analog output to provide continuous real-time data to PLC and SCADA systems.

Smart Sensor Electronics with 24/7 Supervision

The PureAire SO₂ Gas Detector incorporates intelligent, continuously supervised circuitry to ensure uninterrupted protection. If a fault or system error occurs, the unit’s analog signal and fault relay immediately notify control room personnel. The sensor features a built-in microcontroller, enabling it to be removed from the transmitter for routine calibration and maintenance. Once reconnected, the detector automatically transfers the updated calibration data to the transmitter, eliminating the need for manual programming.

Dependable Sulfur Dioxide Detection for Industrial Applications

Ideal for industries including chemical manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and environmental monitoring, the PureAire Sulfur Dioxide Gas Detector provides accurate, continuous detection of toxic sulfur dioxide gas. With low cost of ownership, easy field maintenance, and robust performance, it’s the smart choice for long-term gas safety.
