General

The Model Mini-ICS [Inert Gas Control System] analyzer by Neutronics offers a cost effective
solution in a small package for industrial process Oxygen measurement and inert gas control
applications for flash-fire/explosion prevention, or product quality. The Model Mini-ICS is a custom
analytical instrument, designed to accurately measure 0.1 to 50.0% Oxygen, and provide direct
control of Oxygen levels in your process by controlling inert gas purging.
At the heart of the analyzer is a remote-mounted Neutronics zero-maintenance, disposable
galvanic Oxygen sensor. Remote mounting allows the sensor to be installed close to a process
sampling point for the fastest response time possible. Neutronics also offers a variety of process
sampling and sample conditioning solutions for sensor reliability and longevity.
