The GDA-F allows a quick and safe chemical inspection of
import containers.
The GDA-F is a portable detector which is operated directly
at the container and is able to respond within seconds if dangerous
concentrations of hazardous chemical substances are detected there.
The GDA-F comprises a Hybrid Sensor Array, meaning that the
detection will occur simultaneously through several sensors. By using the
different sensors it is possible to obtain the necessary broad range for
measuring the necessary chemicals. For example, it is possible to detect very
light and hazardous chemicals like chlorine gas, phosphine or hydrogen cyanide,
among others, as well as more complex organic gases like chloropicrin or
benzene. This is something that no other type of detector can do on its own.
Through intensive studies with users from customs and
logistics, optimized procedures on how to set up and operate the instrument
have been developed. Important features of the instrument are easy handling and
output, the speed of measurement and the ability for continuous supervision
during unloading procedures. The high level of safety achieved by GDA-F is fundamental to win the
confidence of the users.
Important features of the GDA-F
·High level of safety – detects
a very wide range of chemical substances
·Easy operation and data
read-out
·Results are given within
seconds
·20-30 containers may be
measured within an hour
·Wide dynamic detection range
(ppb up to upper ppm)
·Reliable alarms: no false
negative alarms, low false positive rate
·Short training period required
·Continuous operation for
supervision of unloading operations
