Global environmental protection initiatives require a drastic reduction of pollutant emissions. According to DIN EN 12619 a Flame Ionization Detector (FID) is a reference method for measurements of volatile TOC (Total Organic Carbon) from combustion power plants. Regular service checks are required for permanently installed analyzers of Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS). To perform these tasks, the analyzers have to be portable, robust and lightweight as sample points are often difficult to access. For cost-efficient operation, the consumption of operating gases are as crucial as maintenance requirements, both have to be minimized.
The AVL PA-FID C50TM is a Portable FID analyzer for continuous total organic carbon measurement in the process industry and in laboratories. It is specifically designed for robust and easy operation, especially when sampling points are frequently changed e.g. in QAL 2 and AST (Annual Surveillance Test) applications.
