Market leading point infrared Hydrocarbon
gas detector offering proven performance
and sensitivity

With over 40 years experience in the design,
manufacture, installation and maintenance of
point infrared gas detection, Honeywell Analytics
currently has a Worldwide installed base of over
100,000 infrared point Hydrocarbon gas
detectors in a wide spectrum of applications
from light industrial to the most demanding of
offshore petrochemical environments.

Searchpoint Optima Plus is an infrared point
Hydrocarbon gas detector certified for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres. The unit’s
infrared detection principle offers the fastest
speed of response and fail-to-safe operation,
ensuring that your plant is compliant, your
personnel are protected and your production
process can deliver maximum uptime. Reduced
routine maintenance, when compared with
conventional electro-catalytic based gas
detectors, provides low ongoing cost of
ownership. The development of advanced
internal fault diagnostics and false alarm rejection
algorithms ensures that Searchpoint Optima Plus
delivers the highest level of operational integrity.

Typical applications include environments that
may suffer from the presence of catalytic bead
poisons or inhibitors, or where there are harsh
environmental conditions forcing increased time
between routine maintenance, for example;
offshore oil and gas platforms, floating
production storage and offloading (FPSO)
vessels, tankers, onshore oil and gas terminals,
refineries, LNG / LPG bottling plants, gas
compressor / metering stations, gas turbine
power plants, refineries, solvent printing and
coating plants.

Over 100 gas and vapour calibrations are
available. For a list of detectable gases and
vapours, please contact our Customer Support
team or your local distributor.
