The BED MONITOR provided by Bay Products is a reliable method of evaluating the system’s performance by identifying compounds and quantifying their concentrations. The BED MONITOR is a passive system that continually monitors for specific compounds of concern.

The main compounds that the BED MONITOR can detect and quantify are:

Hydrogen Sulfide - 0.2 ppm to 40%
Mercaptans – 2.5 ppm to 240 ppm
Dimethly Sulfide – 1 ppm to 15 ppm
Ammonia 1 ppm to 15%
Along with many other organic and inorganic compounds

The BED MONITOR works by allowing either treated or untreated air to pass through a glass tube containing media that changes color in the presence of the compound being detected.  With the optional rotometer attachment, an accurate quantification of the concentration of the specific gaseous compound can be determined.

The BED MONITOR can be used in a variety of applications and locations. Its main purpose is to detect odorous compounds but it can also be used in any application where detection and quantification of gaseous compounds is desired.

The BED MONITOR is typically placed on a treatment system to monitor its performance. It can be placed on the influent air stream to determine the concentration of compounds entering the system. It can be placed at treatment mid points (such as carbon based adsorption systems) to monitor the rate of diffusion of the compound through the treatment system. Or, it can be placed in the effluent stream to monitor the performance of a treatment system and to detect when the system requires maintenance.

The BED MONITOR can also be used to help with regulatory and permitting issues.

The BED MONITOR is simple, inexpensive, and easy to use. Just insert a detection tube. Break off the ends. Start airflow and begin to monitor for the compound of interest. With the optional rotometer and attachment assembly, accurate quantification of the compound takes place in less than one minute. It also requires no maintenance.
