Any facility that depends on a combustion process passing a low threshold must deal with one or more regulatory agencies to measure air pollutant emissions from said combustion. This can be anything from a common natural-gas-fired boiler to a cement kiln burning...
More than 100 years ago, Ivory Soap started claiming, and still says, its bar of soap is “ninety-nine and forty-four-one-hundredths percent pure.” At the time, that was an astonishing figure, but in much of the chemical manufacturing industry today, 99.44% purity...
The aerosol manufacturing industry has come a long way since the introduction of “bug bombs” during WWII. To meet today’s high demand for aerosol products, assembly lines must produce copious volumes in a wide variety of packaging, while upholding high standards of...
At the 4C Health, Safety & Environmental conference, Emerson’s Keith Linsley presented, New Developments in CEMS Analysis using Quantum Cascade Laser Spectroscopy.
Emerson’s Dave McMillen presents New Developments in CEMS Analysis using Quantum Cascade Laser Spectroscopy at the 4C HSE conference in Austin, Texas.
Continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) are used by manufacturers and producers that have combustion and other forms of emissions releases as part of their processes. These systems provide the information required for regulatory reporting. A recent news...
Consumers have come to expect only the highest quality when it comes to the food and beverages they purchase. Automation has driven the variability of the products way down over the years. But even with these improvements, the average food & beverage producer...
Many applications including emissions monitoring, ethylene purity, ammonia slip, hydrocarbon gas composition, and more require the measurement of the concentration of various components in a gas mixture. One technology used to perform this measurement is tunable diode...
The ethylene molecule consists of a double bond between carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms bonded, two to each carbon atom. Per the Wikipedia Ethylene entry, it: …is widely used in the chemical industry, and its worldwide production (over 150 million tonnes in...
For process manufacturers, the energy bill can up to 40-60% of the total operating budget. One way to optimize the energy expended is with Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS). Many people think of CEMS as something used for emissions regulatory reporting to...
Technology advances have disrupted many markets including photography, music, video and communications to name just a few. These disruptive innovations have improved usability and reduced costs for those taking advantage of the technology advancements. In our world of...
The combustion process leads to emissions which must be measured and reported to regulatory authorities in jurisdictions where process manufacturers and producers operate. Technologies such as Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) and Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) are used to sense...
