H7DOC047 Rev C 7/08.Theory of OperationA carefully metered flame burns at a constant reference temperature inside an explosion proof measuring cell. A sample, drawn from the atmosphere to be monitored,is passed through the flame cell. A thermocouple measures changes in flame temperature. An increase in temperature is directly proportional to the Calorific Value (BTU).Application ExampleConsider advanced combustion equipment such as a flare stack, boiler, oxidizer or turbine engine which may need to optimize its burner efficiency for reduced fuel costs. A waste gas stream can supplement the fuel supply to achieve proper combustion while saving costs. The waste stream can consist of many renewable energy sources such as landfill gas, sludge, alcohol fuels or other biomass compounds that may be able to self-sustain the equipment without added fuel.To do this, continuous monitoring of the waste stream is necessary to identify the energy content or calorific value, to determine whether it can be used as a standalone fuel supply or whether it needs to be blended with the constant fuel source such as natural gas.The CalorVal BTU Analyzer will accurately measure the direct BTU concentration of the waste stream and provide the alarm set point to alternate between the waste stream and the constant fuel source quickly for uninterrupted fuel.CalorVal Applications:Bio Gas Chemical Processing Digester Gas Ethanol Plants Ethanol Production Gas Distribution Gas Pipeline Facilities Hydrocarbon Processing (HPI) - Refining & Ethylene LandfillsLandfill GasLime Kilns Low BTU Waste Streams Petroleum Production Petroleum RefiningPilot Plants Process VentsRecovery BoilersResearch & Development FacilitiesWood Products Flame CellWASTESTREAMNATURALGASADVANCED COMBUSTION EQUIPMENTAt alarm set point, valve will open to allow BTU of waste stream to be used as fuel. - CalorVal BTU Analyzer (Model SNR690)
