AMETEK Land - Model 4500 MkIII - Compliance Opacity and Dust Monitor
From Opacity and Dust Monitors
A high-specification opacity and dust monitor meeting global compliance standards for monitoring combustion processes. 4500 MkIII is the most accurate and reliable continuous opacity monitor available, combining AMETEK Land’s ground-breaking innovation and simple design for precise, problem-free operation. Unmatched, class-leading accuracy ensures compliance limits for dust emissions and stack opacity are met with confidence. This avoids the risk of regulator fines while lowering costs through operational efficiencies.
Product Overview
The 4500 MkIII employs a highly homogenous LED light source to minimize sensitivity to optical misalignment. The multi-prism retro-reflector reduces thermal drift for the lowest possible detection limit. Together with a flood LED to minimize electronic drift, these patented technologies provide you highly stable, highly accurate results.
Fitting stack diameters of 0.3m-15m (1 ft-50ft), 4500 MkIII is suitable for the continuous monitoring of dust and opacity in boilers, heaters, furnaces and other combustion applications in the power generation, hydrocarbon processing, industrial boilers, and steel industries.
Complete Compliance
The 4500 MkIII achieves the highest possible specification for the fundamental performance parameters for a compliance opacity monitor, as defined by the internationally-recognised ASTM D6216 Standard. Its performance has been independently verified, meeting QAL 1 requirements according to EN 15267-3.
Easy to Operate
The built-in menu display is intuitive and simple to use, with simultaneous text and icon prompts. There’s no need to take a laptop or handheld terminal to the installation location, making setup and operation hassle-free.
Unmatched Control Options
4500 MkIII has all the compatible accessories you need to tailor it to your process. Options include a control room unit, auxiliary functions unit, fail-safe shutters and calibration accessories, as well as a range of mountings and adaptors for existing fittings.

Options for the Analyser
Mounting Options
The 4500 MKIII mounting is a core part of the optical alignment system and the correct selection is essential.
Standpipe
The standpipe welds directly to the stack for a simple, rigid mounting.
Spoolpiece
Spoolpieces are available with a wide variety of ANSI Flange sizes which can be bolted onto an existing stack flange.
Transceiver Weather Cover
The transceiver is sealed to IP65 and will resist most weather conditions. The transceiver weather cover attaches to the mounting flange and provides additional protection from driving rain and intense sunlight.
Air Purge Blowers
A reliable purge air supply is needed to protect the 4500 MkIII from the hot, corrosive, dusty stack gases. The AMETEK Land design uses a side-channel blower and a large-area filter to provide a troublefree source of purge air that will run for many years with minimal maintenance. The standard blower is weatherproof to IP55 and can be used in a sheltered outdoor location, for example under a canopy.
Blower Weather Cover
The weather cover makes the blower fully weatherproof and is recommended for outdoor locations where the blower will be exposed to wind and rain.
Fail-safe shutters
Electrically-actuated shutters protect the optics from damage if the purge fails, either because of a fault or because of loss of electric power. The shutters close automatically when power is lost or when the AFU receives a purge-fail signal.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch opens when a positive flow of purge air is detected and closes when flow is lost. The AFU generates an alarm signal if a purge fail condition is detected, and closes the shutters (if fitted).
Prefilter
The prefilter extends the lifetime of the air filter in dusty environments by removing coarse dust from the purge air supply.
Calbration Accessories:
For optimum performance, it is necessary to verify the calibration of your model 4500 MKIII periodically. In most cases, a quarterly calibration audit is sufficient, and we can provide the accessories you need
External Zero Device (EZD)
The EZD allows you to verify the zero opacity point without removing the Model 4500 MkIII from the stack. It can also be used for quarterly calibration error checks, as required by US EPA Procedure 3.
Neutral Density Calibration Filters
Filters are chosen to match your opacity monitor configuration and are calibrated as primary filters in accordance with PS-1.
Calibration Kit
Test stands and mains power supply make it easy to perform a zero alignment (clear-path calibration) off the stack.

Waste Incineration Application Note - Waste and Recycling - Hazardous Waste
Waste incineration is commonly used to dispose of the organic components of both domestic refuse and hazardous waste by burning it under controlled conditions. The heat generated in this process can be used to generate electricity, a process known as Waste-To-Energy (WTE). Because they have the potential to release highly toxic chemicals, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and heavy metals, waste incinerators are subject to stringent environmental regulations.Temperature and emissions monitoring equipment ...
