Gas monitoring instruments and systems for stack testing according to EPA test method 320 - Air and Climate
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has two stack testing methods for FTIR gas analyzers. Method 320 is an FTIR method for measuring wide range of organic and inorganic pollutants. Method 321 is a specific version for measuring hydrogen chloride HCl at cement kilns producing Portland cement. These methods define a quality assurance and control processes for verifying the accuracy of the results. The requirements for analytical equipment and software are defined on 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix B ...

Gas analyzers and monitoring systems for carbon capture & storage (CCS) - Air and Climate
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an emerging method of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of power plants. In a process called ‘scrubbing’, the carbon dioxide emissions can be absorbed into chemical solvents consisting of amines or carbonates. Scrubbing is a well-established method of carbon capture, with virtually every commercial CO2 capture plant in operation using this process. In the process, the first step is the removal of impurities from the flue gas, such as hydrocarbons and oxides of ...

Gas monitoring instruments and systems for engine emissions measurements - Air and Climate
The exhaust gas from combustion engines is a complex mixture of gases and particulate matter. The composition of the gas may change rapidly. Multicomponent analysis of exhaust gases can be performed with a Gasmet™ FTIR Gas Analyzer with a response time (T90) of one second. The winning combination is the result using of a small volume gas sample cell, a powerful sample pump and a fast detector with liquid nitrogen cooling. The analyzer, sampling system and computer can be assembled on a cart for use in a ...

Gas monitoring instruments and systems for semiconductor manufacturing - Manufacturing, Other
In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, various perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are used. The emissions of the PFC compounds into the ambient air are reduced by scrubbing of the exhaust gases from the process. In this process, the Gasmet™ FTIR Gas Analyzers can be used to measure the emissions into the atmosphere and also monitor the efficiency of the scrubbers. Typically monitored PFCs in the exhaust gas include carbon tetrafluoride CF4, trifluoromethane CHF3, and hexafluoroethane C2F6.

Gas analyzers and monitoring systems for Raw gas measurements - Oil, Gas & Refineries - Gas
Raw gases are untreated flue gases that have not passed through an emissions control technology system like selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR). They are generally measured for the sakes of process control and warranty tracking. Typically only a few components are measured but fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FTIR technology allows the measurement of all components.

Gas analyzers and monitoring systems for Compliance measurements - Monitoring and Testing - Air Monitoring and Testing
Several EU directives and national laws in European countries set requirements for continuous monitoring of flue gas emissions at power plants. The demand for emission measurements has only increased in recent years and the trend will undoubtedly continue. It is therefore increasingly important for power plants to have reliable information available on emission of air pollutants. A power plant’s license to operate can even depend on it. Because the reduction of emissions to desired levels requires ...

Gas analyzers and monitoring systems for fertilizer and nitric acid production sector - Monitoring and Testing
Nitric acid is manufactured from ammonia and is a key chemical in the manufacture of fertilizers. This is the main reason why nitric acid is produced in such large quantities. The production process of nitric acid produces nitrogen oxides (NOx), ammonia (NH3) and nitrous oxide N2O emissions.

Gas analyzers and monitoring systems for fire & material testing - Health and Safety - Health and Safety Monitoring and Testing
Sampling and analysis of fire effluents is an important part of assessing both the environmental impact and the threat to life caused by fires. Detailed knowledge about the composition and concentration of fire effluents is required to gain a good understanding about the potential impacts of fires and for efforts to diminish these impacts. Testing the composition of these fire effluents presents a challenge for the analytical equipment used to measure the gases. The amount of species and concentrations of interest ...
