CARBON MONOXIDE |
A colorless gas , carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) has applications in the food , oil , and chemical industries , and is used in many pressurized gas tools .
Monitoring CO 2 is important in many industrial processes for process control and efficiency , while CO 2 emissions are measured by industrial plants to prove compliance with environmental regulations .
Since it is present in air at trace levels , CO 2 is often encountered as a contaminant in highpurity gases , so measurements of very low-level CO 2 must be achieved for this application .
A poisonous , flammable gas , carbon monoxide ( CO ) is colorless , odorless and tasteless . It has applications in the chemical , food , medical and metals industries .
A measurement of CO ( along with O 2 ) helps to maintain the combustion reaction at an optimum balance , maintaining safety and reducing fuel costs . It may also be monitored to avoid impurities in the production of industrial , medical , and UHP gases .
CO is regarded as a criterion pollutant under many environmental standards , and so any industrial emissions must be monitored to ensure regulatory compliance .
