    Introduction to Flue Gas


    Analyzer for Measurements of
    Flue Gases

    Engr. Madiha Jave


    Objective

    •To determine the concentrations of polluting gases like CO, CO 2, SOX,


    NOX from manufacturing units.

    Engr. Madiha
    Background:
    Combustion system, if not used properly will consume more fuel
    leading to higher operating cost and emission of polluting gases
    like CO2, CO, NOx, SOx. The Flue Gas Analysis is an effective
    way to gather reliable combustion data for analyzing and
    optimizing combustion efficiency of a system.

    Based on the result of the analysis, the combustion system’s air-


    fuel ratio is reset to bring it close to stoichiometric combustion. It
    also helps measure and monitor manufacturing unit’s adherence to
    the prescribed statutory pollution limits. By doing so, you save
    1% - 2 % of fuel for every 10% reduction in excess air..

    Engr. Madiha
    Benefits of Flue Gas Analyzer:
    • Higher Energy and Cost Savings – By optimizing combustion
    efficiency you save more on energy and costs
    • Better Optimization – Based on the information, air fuel ratio is
    adjusted for optimal use
    • Operational Excellence – Huge reduction in the production cost and
    increase in the quality of end-product
    • Less Pollution – Regular monitoring reduces undesirable exhaust
    emissions
    • More Safety – Analysis helps improve safety of your fuel burning
    equipment
    Instrumentation and Working
    Principle

    •Flue Gas Analyzer which is a calibrated electronic instrument measures


    the concentration of various gases emitted by the manufacturing units.
    Emitted gas samples are collected from the testing ports, opening of the
    chimney and processed through the Flue Gas Analyzer to measure the
    concentrations of Excess Air, Oxygen (O2), Carbon Monoxide (CO),
    Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Oxides of Sulfur (SOx) and Nitrogen (NOx),
    and flue gas temperature. The analyzer detects any deviations from the
    optimal range for a given combustion system and provides information
    to adjust the burners for optimum combustion.
    Specifications of Instrument:

    NOlow 0-300 1500

    NO2 0-500

    SO2 0-5000 25000


    Procedure:

    1. Start measuring: Start

    2. The readings are displayed. Option: Interrupt measurement and rinse sensors:
    Air

    3. Continue measurement: Gas

    4. Stop measuring: Stop

    5. To print readings: Print

    Conclusion:

    •One of the key benefits of Flue Gas Analysis is that it gauges your
    combustion system to run at its optimal efficiency leading to reduced
    energy bills and more savings. Simultaneously, you can also reduce your
    carbon footprint because of improved combustion. Regular monitoring of
    flue gas emissions help you monitor harmful gases such as carbon
    monoxide, and caution you to reset the system before it poses any threat.
