CubTAC + Tiger Select provide the ultimate tools for monitoring benzene

Benzene is a critical industrial chemical which is commonly found throughout the petrochemical industry. However, it is extremely hazardous and a recognised human carcinogen. To protect individuals, legislation has been put in place across the globe to ensure exposure is kept to a minimum.

As the exposure limit is so low, its concentration alone usually defines the toxicity of vapours in the petrochemical industry as a whole. Therefore, it is essential that sub ppm benzene concentrations can be measured rapidly in the presence of the hundreds of aromatic and aliphatic compounds encountered throughout the industry.

Traditionally, it has not been possible to collect accurate real-time measurements due to a lack of available technology. However, the combination of the Ion Science CubTAC personal PID monitor plus the Tiger Select handheld screening device now make this a reality.

CubTAC is the smallest, lightest personal PID monitor available with market leading parts per-billion (ppb) sensitivity. Robust yet small, comfortable and unobtrusive to wear CubTAC provides fast, accurate detection of total aromatic compounds (TACs) including benzene, protecting workers within their environment.

The Tiger Select hand-held gas detector with two-mode operation rapidly detects benzene and TACs providing accurate, reliable data you can count on. Its unique ability to rapidly switch between TAC mode and Tube mode means Tiger Select offers the most versatile portable benzene specific product on the market.

The revolutionary Tiger Select and CubTAC utilise the Ion Science patented Fence Electrode Technology and Anti-contamination design that deliver incomparable sensing performance over the range of environmental conditions experienced on site, particularly within humid atmospheres.
