Nitrous oxides, are a group of gases primarily composed of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). These gases are significant environmental pollutants, produced by high-temperature combustion processes found in vehicle engines, power plants, and various industrial activities. Monitoring nitrous oxides is essential for protecting public health, complying with environmental regulations, and managing and reducing air pollution effectively.
At Signal Group, we provide state-of-the-art NOx analyzers designed for accurate, reliable, and continuous monitoring of these critical pollutants, helping industries meet stringent emission controls and improve air quality.
Nitrous Oxide, or laughing gas, is a relative newcomer to the list of industrial pollutants of concern to regulatory bodies monitoring climate change. It has a stronger greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide and is produced as a by-product of many industrial processes.
The measurement techniques available for this gas are infra-red and electrochemical cell. Both have their limitations. The US EPA have produced guidelines on what they consider to be the reference method for measuring N2O as part of the process of legislating for it to be measured and reported by engine and vehicle manufacturers and other industries. They suggest using an infra-red detector that uses a catalyst to oxidise CO, the strongest interferent.
Non Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Multi-gas analysers are available in 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 gas channel configurations, offering high levels of performance and flexibility. Options include CO, CO2, CH4, NO, N2O, SO2, HCl and O2.
With Signal Group’s nitrous oxides analysers, you gain an expert partner in air quality management. Our analysers help you monitor, report, and reduce N2O emissions effectively, ensuring environmental compliance and promoting public health.

In the realm of precise gas analysis, particularly within continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) and process control applications, the integrity of the sample from the point of extraction to the analyser is paramount. A critical, yet often underestimated, component in maintaining this integrity is the heated sample line. Failure to
Setting the Standard in Gas Analysis: Why Reference Methods Matter In the rigorous domains of emissions monitoring, industrial process control, and advanced atmospheric research, the precision and reliability of gas analysis instrumentation are not merely advantageous; they are foundational to regulatory compliance, environmental stewardship, and scientific advancement. The designation of
Understanding the Role of Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) In an increasingly regulated world, the ability to accurately monitor emissions in real time is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) provide the vital data industries need to: From power generation to cement production, from waste
