Catalyst Test Services, LLC and the CLD 60 Series

tom • February 21, 2017

Catalyst Test Service, LLC. Of Ojai, CA uses ECO PHYSICS NOx Analyzers for synthetic gas bench characterization for washcoat development, analysis of in-use parts, and deactivation/poisoning studies. They also employ the analyzers to test engine exhaust in the field.

Catalyst Test Service is currently operating one CLD 62 and one CLD 64 NOx Analyzer. The CLD 62 will measure NOx concentrations as high as 5000 ppm with a sensitivity of 0.5 ppm. The CLD 64 has a maximum range of 100 ppm, with a sensitivity down to 2 ppb.

Catalyst Test Service supplements their NOx analyzers with a full suite of analyzers to quantify other components of interest. When asked about their experience with ECO PHYSICS they said “I’ve been running the two ECO PHYSICS analyzers for about 5 years, and have found them to be very stable and robust. When PM has been required, I’ve been guided (hand-held) by the Ann Arbor crew step-by-step. It’s been a very enjoyable relationship.”

ECO PHYSICS recently visited the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Glenn is NASA’s only research center in the Midwest, officially named after John Glenn in March 1999. This site was established in 1941 and was incorporated into NASA in 1958. It is NASA’s third oldest research center. The purpose of the facility has evolved over the years, it was originally for aircraft propulsion studies and now it creates advanced technology for aviation and space exploration. Their facilities currently include wind tunnels, drop towers, vacuum chambers, and a research aircraft hangar. We were fortunate enough to see some of these and take some photos during our installation and training visit. Glenn is involved with many important projects, such as the International Space Station and the Artemis Program, which is NASA’s latest plan to return to the Moon. We hope to be involved in more of the great work and research that NASA Glenn will do in the future. Thank you to Krystal and Dawn for their time.
