Emission analysis

Flexibility of a portable emissions analyzer

Better a   portable emissions analyzer  o  continuously ? Depending on the use cases, the presence of both may be necessary. In this in-depth analysis, however, we will see how the majority   flexibility  and  versatility  of a portable analyzer allows interventions of  efficiency and maintenance more punctual and timely.

The limits of a continuous emissions analyzer

To comply with emissions regulations, the gases to be measured are those emitted into the atmosphere after passing through the filtering system. Normally the gases covered by the regulations are   CO, total NO (NO+NO2) and CxHy hydrocarbons   measurement of the O2 level  as many emissions reports must be made based on a given O2 level as a reference. 

Advantages of the portable emissions analyzer

Thanks to the portable analyzer  you can take measurements from all  secondary ducts  which are conveyed to the main chimney and from any other  emission source .

In this sense a portable analyzer proves to be  more versatile and flexible  than a continuous one,  allowing you to quickly and more precisely identify the sources of high emissions values ​​and inefficiencies in terms of equipment performance.

Quality, precision and compliance

The use of the portable analyzer in industrial plants  finds the most varied applications. In fact, wherever there are  processes that involve combustion , the analyzer is a valid ally for  reducing waste and maximizing energy efficiency .

Some examples of industries that can benefit from this tool are: energy production plants, refineries, chemical industries, cement factories, sugar factories, incinerators, mining areas.

The Seitron portable emissions analyzer for industrial applications

Chemist 600 and Chemist Be Green allow you to combine   up to 6 gas sensors . The analyzer is equipped with an external anti-condensation trap with anti-dust filters, a suction pump and a second dilution pump for the gas sample taken to allow measurements of up to 100,000 ppm of CO. It allows measurements of gas temperature, external air, ambient air and positive, negative and differential pressure.

Final considerations

A portable analyzer in industrial installations can be used in the most varied of applications. Indeed, wherever there are processes that involve combustion, the analyzer is an important tool in reducing waste and maximizing energy efficiency.

Some examples of industries that can benefit from this instrument are: energy production plants, refineries, chemical industries, cement plants, sugar refineries, incinerators, mining areas, prisons, institutions, colleges, universities, and many more.
