Terahertz Gas Spectrometer
Paper in proceeding, 2014

We present a 300-500GHz gas spectrometer built for and practically tested at the 2–4-MW indirect gasifier at the Chalmers Power Center. The primary goal is precise online measurements of H2O vapor and CO concentrations in the producer gas. Experimentally obtained H2O vapor concentration resolution was about 1% at the conditions of 50% VMR and 400 deg.C.
