Why Use The iBall Instruments Bloodhound System?

The Bloodhound is the most advanced portable mud logging gas detection system available. Gone are the days of drifting and zero adjustments due to temperature changes and the carbonizing of hot-wire elements or catalytic beads (Pellistors). Gone are the days of lugging around huge Hydrogen bottles only to run out at the most critical times! Because of the advanced embedded DSP technology, the Bloodhound is immune to Natural Gas saturation and can detect 0 to 10,000 Gas Units without manual intervention. Also, the Bloodhound can be set up to emulate other types of gas detection equipment such as Hot-Wire, Flame Ionization Detection, Mass Spectrometry, and similar devices.

The system is calibrated utilizing National Institute of Standards Technology (NIST) calibration gases and

is able to utilize new technology that allows the sensors to read each other as well as themselves. With this new patented technology, the sensors can re-adjust themselves on the fly in real time and correct for calibration drift and errors. The system can even shut down failed sensor(s) and rely on back up sensors. 

With internal medical grade 10,000 brushless pumps included with every unit, the reliability of the

system has become second to none. View real-time logging data via the Internet anytime, anywhere. The Bloodhound connects via Ethernet, satellite or Cellular wireless with a powerful cellular modem for instant access world- wide to the Bloodhound System. The Bloodhound can also connect your computer to the Internet with the Integrated Wireless System with high speed data reliability. Data is stored locally in the Bloodhound, at the server system, and also the connected computer. Also the Data is stored in an industry standard comma-delimited form for compatibility with Well Sight Systems, MainLog and all other mud logging software via LAS and XLS files.

See for yourself why more and more companies are choosing the iBall Instruments Bloodhound Chromatograph and Gas Detector system.
