PHOENIX Instrumentation is distributing a full spectrum, multi-component UV analyser which monitors low levels of nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide, as well as a number of other stack gas emission components.
The Procal 5000 in-situ analyser is said to be fully verifiable, and replaces the more complex chemilluminescent system.
Traditional extractive instruments have several disadvantages such as heated take-off, heated line pumps and required significant amounts of instrument maintenance. They also tended to quickly consume spares, resulting in a high cost of ownership.
The new unit is said to be designed to remove the need for a high level of maintenance. The company claims it still achieves a high level of accuracy, repeatability and is suited for environmental calibration.
The analyser is used in power station monitoring and maintenance, detecting nitrogen oxide, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia and sulphur dioxide in gas turbines, ammonia slips and low NOx burners.
