Advanced FTIR Spectrometers for Precise Gas Emissions Monitoring
Real-time, multi-gas detection with high-resolution spectral data tailored for industrial emissions compliance and reporting.
Overview
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers have revolutionized industrial emissions monitoring by enabling precise, simultaneous detection of multiple gas compounds. These spectrometers measure how gas molecules absorb infrared light at different wavelengths, creating a spectral fingerprint unique to each compound. This method delivers real-time, high-resolution analysis of gas concentrations such as CO, CO₂, NOx, SO₂, NH₃, HCl, VOCs, and more making it ideal for complex emissions environments.
Industries across North America rely on FTIR technology to meet increasingly stringent environmental standards. From waste incineration to chemical processing plants, FTIR provides unmatched accuracy and reliability. As a B2B-focused provider, Emissions and Stack delivers scalable FTIR solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing CEMS infrastructure. With fast response times, robust data handling, and advanced diagnostics, our systems are trusted by businesses seeking long-term performance, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency.

Case Studies
Case Study U.S. – Waste Incineration Facility, Illinois
A municipal waste-to-energy plant required a reliable emissions monitoring system capable of tracking multiple gases simultaneously. Emissions and Stack Instruments delivered an FTIR spectrometer configured for over 12 gases. The integration enabled automatic compliance reporting and reduced manual intervention by 65%, streamlining EPA audits and operational checks.
Case Study U.S. – Cement Kiln Operation, Arizona
One of the largest cement producers in the Southwest faced accuracy issues with legacy analyzers. We implemented an FTIR solution with heated sampling and automatic calibration cycles tailored for dusty and high-temperature environments. Results included a 98% uptime rate and full compliance with 40 CFR Part 60 standards.
Case Study Canada – Fertilizer Plant, Saskatchewan
A major ammonia and urea production plant needed a monitoring system for NOx, NH₃, and VOCs in real time. Our FTIR-based system offered accurate detection under high-moisture conditions, integrating with their SCADA and emissions reporting tools. Emissions and Stack solution contributed to improved reporting accuracy and environmental transparency.
