AMS Analitica applications

The reference EN 13284-1 provide two different way about stack sampling, depending on emission conditions. The first option provide sampling with a standard probe  with inserted perpendicularly into the duct filter holder to the emission flow. This option is recommended for emissions not involving humidity and with low temperature. It allows using non-perpendicular filter holders to sampling flow, reminding to consider also as part of the sampling all the collected parts ahead of the filter.

This method is dedicated to the sampling of discharged heavy metals in emissions coming from hazardous city waste incinerators. The elements analyzed are: Antimony, Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper,Magnesium,Nickel, Lead, and Thallium. This method is applicable to each one of these specific elements in the concentration range of 0.005 mg/m3 to 0.5 mg/m3.

Mercury sampling system compliant with UNI EN 13211 normative. This method is focused on discharged mercury in emission coming from hazardous city waste incinerators. The method is applicable in the concentration range of 0.001 mg/m3 to 0.5 mg/m3.

Hydrochloride Acid chimney sampling according to norm UNI-EN 1911 DLgs.152-2006. The system concerns a heated sonde including a set of glass tools to sample hydrochloride acid sampling gas getting in touch without affecting any metal part. A special impinger’s support deviceis placed outside the sonde, next to the heated recipient holding the filter holder. This process avoid forming condense in the sampling chain with the loss of the specimen. Normative allows two different kinds of sampling, the first one regards Isokineticwiththe derivation of theflux for dusts, the other one is only for gas monitor whether there are some particles or not as aerosol form.

Dioxin, PCDD-PCDF and PCB sampling system compliant with UNI-EN 1948:2006. This sentence refers to the last variation of the version dated 1999 because it has been changed some phases in the technical-analytical process and there are new normative references about oxygen sampling (EN-14789) and humidity content (EN-14790).
