How Does a Gas Analyser Work?
Whatever you want to detect, you need to identify a property of the object that is easy-enough to measure. When it comes to monitoring and analysis of gaseous species (atoms or more commonly molecules), it turns out that it often is possible to utilize the optical properties of the gas. You need a light source, a light detector, and a characteristic behaviour of the gaseous species in question ...

Planning for a Gas Monitoring System
Do you need a gas monitoring system? Then you already know which gases you want to monitor, you probably have an idea of measurement ranges and accuracy requirements, and perhaps you have a budget for the system. But which other aspects have to be considered, and how do you actually design the system? Whether it is about air quality monitoring, continuous emissions monitoring or process control, ...

Wastewater Treatment Plant Monitors Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Case Study
Globally, little attention is paid to gaseous emissions from wastewater treatment processes. This contrasts greatly with the regulatory monitoring that is applied to the quality of water emissions from such facilities. However, in Helsinki, Finland, a large municipal wastewater treatment facility continuously monitors its emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to help in the city’s efforts to ...

An analysis of extinction coefficients of particles and water moisture in the stack after flue gas desulfurization at a coal-fired power plant
Two important factors that affect in-stack opacity—light extinction by emitted particles and that by water moisture after a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) unit—are investigated. The mass light extinction coefficients for particles and water moisture, kp and kw, respectively, were determined using the Lambert-Beer law of opacity with a nonlinear least-squares regression method. The ...

What do we mean by “compliance”, and why is it important?
Several AMETEK Land instruments are used to demonstrate compliance with national or international environmental regulations. These include the 4500 MkIII opacity monitor and the FGA900 series multi-gas analyser. In this article, I will discuss what it is that distinguishes a compliance instrument from any other type. Environmental regulations worldwide are designed to protect human health and ...

DOAS Explained
DOAS stands for Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy. The DOAS technique was conceived almost a century ago, and it was applied on research level to air quality monitoring already in the 1970s. In the mid-1980s, the technology was then commercialised and turned into practical and wide-spread use. The acronym DOAS itself reveals quite a lot of what it is about. ...

How conditions affect cookies and air pollution control solutions
Chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorite treats. Butter, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla, and, of course, chocolate chips. Combine the ingredients together and you get a delicious cookie. Somehow, using the same ingredients the cookies do not always turn out the same. Sometimes they are thinner and crispier. Other times, they are soft and chewy. After watching cooking shows, I have come to ...
