Pronova - Model SSM 6000 -IR Multi-channel Measuring Device for Flue and Process Gases
The SSM 6000 device family is suitable for measuring flue and process gases. It is designed to meet the requirements of regular process control directly on the systems and has appropriately selected and tested sensor technology for the relevant gas components: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen monoxide, sulfur dioxide and oxygen for flue gases and methane, carbon monoxide, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide for process gases. A number of additional functions support the quality of the measurement results and enable adaptation to special circumstances. The analysis takes place continuously. The SSM 6000 is easy to operate, has a clear display and a data memory with a history function, ie storage of all measured values with date and time.
The harsh, very different measuring conditions on the different types of systems, combined with high requirements for reliability and stability in continuous use, place very high demands on gas analysis. To fulfill these requirements, a number of functions are integrated into the SSM technology.
For optimal adaptation to the respective application, the following are optionally available:
- Multi-stage sample gas preparation with filters and sample gas cooling for dehumidification. Dehumidification prevents, among other things, sensor failure due to condensation and reduces the risk of corrosion of components that are exposed to the measuring gas– Humidity and flow alarm
- Elimination of pressure and temperature influences on the measured values
- Detonation protection EN 12874 and housing ventilation for safe operation with process gases
In addition, the SSM family is characterized by other exceptional features such as:
- Extremely high long-term stability for the IR channels thanks to Pronova’s proCAL technology
- Automatic single-point calibration for the other gas types
- Large display of all detected gases
Methane (CH 4 ), carbon dioxide (CO 2) and carbon monoxide (CO) are detected with high accuracy and selectivity using the dual-beam infrared method. The fundamental dependencies of the measured values on pressure and temperature in this process are eliminated very effectively. By extending the infrared process with the proCAL function developed by Pronova, an exceptionally high long-term stability of the calibration is achieved. The measurement of carbon monoxide (CO) and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) in the ppm range is also carried out using infrared sensors. Nitrogen monoxide (NO) and oxygen (O 2 ) are detected by electrochemical sensors. Paramagnetic measuring cells for oxygen are also used for special requirements. Thermal conductivity sensors are available to record hydrogen concentrations in the percentage range. The range of sensors available allows optimal adaptation of the measuring range and cross-sensitivity to the respective requirements.
