Pollutants are produced by industrial emissions, automobile exhaust, and household waste. As well as chemical gases such as NOx, fluorocarbons are also present. With CO2 and methane, they cause acid rain, sick house syndrome, depletion of the ozone layer, and, of course, climate change.
NOx is probably the most ubiquitous combustion-created air pollutant since it can be generated by any process burning any fossil fuel, and it is tightly regulated by the U.S. EPA and other regulatory bodies around the world. Plants with relevant combustion processes,...
In many manufacturing and production processes, dangerous gases are present due to their use as a fuel, feedstock or creation as an end product. In an Industrial Automation Asia article, Electrochemical vs Semiconductor Gas Detection – A Critical Choice, Emerson's...
Real-time analyzers play an important role in many process manufacturing operations. Some examples include natural gas custody transfer, combustion efficiency monitoring, combustion emissions component analysis, flowing fluid compositional analysis and more. Not only...
Monitoring the composition of what's in an air mixture is important for many processes. Reasons may include detecting dangerous gasses for the safety of the plant personnel, getting the air-fuel ratio right for optimum combustion, or better understanding the mix of...
A person searching on the subject of gas-fired heaters came upon one of the many posts here on this blog. He wanted to know: Is there any International standard or code compliance to measure or monitor the gases (like type of gas and range, etc.) in the gas fired...
