The math behind long-term dioxin sampling
Can I let you in on a secret? Your current method of measuring dioxins is probably not giving you the whole picture about your dioxin emissions. A typical waste incineration plant will run for about 8000 hours per year. Many waste incineration plants are still using the old method of periodic sampling. With periodic sampling, dioxins are only measured for 6-8 hours at a time. You don’t need ...

Long-term Sampling of Dioxin and Carbon Dioxide
New regulations such as the European “Waste Incineration BAT Conclusions” (read more on that in this blog article) call for long-term sampling of "polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans" (PCCD/F), but let's call it "dioxin" for simplicity. An isokinetic sample is taken from the duct and dioxin is trapped in an absorbing material. Special material has to be used and the sampler which ...

Case Techno Spec: Building a Dioxin Detection Dynasty
Monitoring dioxins is very much a family matter at Gasmet’s Spanish distributor Techno Spec where customers benefit from the influence of two generations of analysis research. Dr Joan Rivera was probably destined for a career in dioxins monitoring. Not only was his father one of the foremost experts in this field – his mother founded Techno Spec in 1985. To fully understand the story ...

Importance of long-term sampling in dioxin monitoring
Dioxins and POPs are toxic, persistent, and nowadays ubiquitously present in our environment. Gasmet GT90 Dioxin+ is an exceptionally robust dioxin sampling system that was designed to sample even the lowest concentrations in harsh industrial environments and even subfreezing conditions. Dioxin is an umbrella name for polychlorinated dibenzo-para-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans. They ...

2006-2016: 10 years of continuous dioxins monitoring in Italy. Which assessment for which perspective?
2006-2016: 10 years of continuous dioxins monitoring in Italy. Which assessment for which perspective? Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), more commonly named dioxins and furans are odorless, highly thermally stable, insoluble in water, highly liposoluble micropollutants present in traces in the environment, mainly produced during combustion with ...

How can industrial regulations be improved to avoid any potential emissions reporting scandal (Avoiding a VW type scandal)
The VW automotive emissions testing scandal has signifi cant environmental implications due to the mismatch between expected and actual emissions of NOX . Many consider that the ultimate responsibility lies with VW on the issue, however it is important to consider the role of the regulator in supporting an industry backed testing regime which does not absolutely refl ect actual emissions. While ...

Long-term sampling - A method for continuous emission monitoring of dioxins/furans and mercury
Introduction The continuous emission monitoring of the different compounds which are emitted by industrial facilities is an important topic to approve the compliance to different regulations like WID. However, there are several compounds which cannot be measured in real time. Specific dioxins/furans (PCCD/PCDF) and other POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) cannot be measured by online monitors. ...

Dioxin sampling – A long term view
1) Introduction The expansion of the number of processes requiring measurement of emitted dioxins and the release of a new CEN Standard - EN 1948 - will significantly alter the market for instrumentation. Within the EU, individual member states will implement their own strategies for process approval based on dioxin sampling. However, typically processes are assessed quarterly, biannually or ...

New developments in long-term sampling of dioxins
Introduction The emissions of Dioxins and Furans (Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins and Dibenzofurans, PCDF/Ds) from industrial sources are still one of the most important issues discussed in public, politics and industry. Due to the fact that environmental regulations are on the way to be harmonised in the EU countries, the measurements of those compounds in the stack gas of e. g. waste ...
