The Ion Science Falco TAC is the world’s first stationary PID monitor for the detection of total aromatic compounds (TACs or PAHs), including benzene. The device is capable of detecting aromatic hydrocarbons from 0.01 ppm (10 ppb, for highly toxic gases) up to 50 ppm.
Because the Falco TAC uses a 10.0 eV electrode stack in combination with a 10.6 eV lamp, the device is more selective and does not respond to components that undesirably influence the measurement of PAHs, such as H2S and NH3. The PID sensor in the Falco TAC not only offers the patented Fence Electrode Technology, but also Typhoon technology, which minimizes the effects of condensing humidity. This makes this gas monitor applicable even in extreme weather conditions. The device is equipped with an OLED display with a particularly high contrast on which the measured value can be read and a status indication is also given (green, amber or red) that is clearly visible even in bright sunlight.
The legal limit value for benzene was tightened from 1 ppm (3.25 mg/m3) to 0.2 ppm (0.7 mg/m3) on October 1, 2017. The high resolution of the Falco TAC is ideally suited for measuring the concentration of benzene according to this regulation. This gas monitor is available without a pump (minimizes maintenance costs) and as a pumped version, which makes it possible to suck gas samples from difficult to access spaces.
