Emissions Monitoring - Metals - Aluminium
The Opsis monitoring solution in aluminium smelters is based on either DOAS or laser diode technique. The on-line, open-path systems are used for monitoring HF and sulphur dioxide in potrooms, in fence-line applications and in continuous emissions monitoring. Opsis has long experience of monitoring in aluminium smelters.
Gaseous Compounds
Gaseous Compounds
- Hydrogen fluoride (HF)
- Sulphur dioxide (SO2)
- Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
- Water vapour (H2O)
- Other compounds
Technique
Opsis offers two different open-path methods. One is based on the DOAS technique that has the benefit of being able to monitor multiple gases such as HF, sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and water vapour (H2O). The other method is based on tuneable diode laser (TDL). Both types of systems can monitor several pot rooms or stack/ducts using one analyser. Additional compounds can be monitored.
