New webinar now available on demand - Measuring opacity and particulate emissions from combustion processes
View our webinar where we introduce the concepts behind opacity and particulate measurement, describe the key technologies and provide detailed insight into the requirements for a successful installation. An opacity monitor provides a simple and robust means for emissions monitoring in combustion processes, but under some conditions a particulate matter (PM) monitor may be necessary.
Overview
Smoke and particulate matter (PM) emissions from combustion sources are indicative of the adequacy of the baghouse or electrostatic precipitator to remove dust from the flue gas. To ensure emissions control systems are operating properly, they are subject to emission limits to prevent air pollution and protect human health. These limits are enforced by local and national governments, and in many cases the source operator must monitor and record the emissions. Of the many available continuous monitoring techniques, opacity and PM measurements remain among the most widely used techniques in the world. They are conceptually simple; the technologies are well-established and high-quality products are readily available. Even so, there are many things to consider to ensure an accurate and reliable measurement. Choosing the correct monitoring technique for the application, installing the monitor correctly and maintaining it properly are all important.
This webinar will introduce you to the concepts behind opacity and particulate measurement, describe the key technologies and provide detailed insight into the requirements for a successful installation. Attendees will come away with an understanding of opacity and particulate measurement in general, the factors behind a successful installation, and key pieces of U.S. and international legislation to follow.
