Environmental applications
Industrial processes increasingly involve the use and manufacture of highly dangerous substances, particularly toxic and combustible gases. Inevitably, occasional escapes of gas occur, which create a potential hazard to employees, people living nearby and to the environment.
For such industrial processes, fast online monitoring of various molecules is important to adjust process parameters so that the employees and the environment is protected.
Well established applications are
- Ambient air monitoring in industrial estate areas
- Waste processing plant - incinerators
- Alternative fuel & raw materia in cement industry
- Cement industry (emission- and process control)
- Stack gas and smoke gas measurements (gas cleaning devices)
- Waste incineration plants (measurements of dioxine precursors)
- Soil gas measurements (former locations of cleaning devices, fuel stations, geological gas research)
- Automobile industry (conversion rates of catalytic converters, lambda windows, exhaust gas emissions)
- Plastics fabrication (emission measurements)
- Online analysis of sulphur emissions like COS, H2S, SO2, CS2, and others
- Process control in waste destructors
- Chemical cleaning devices
- Ambient air monitoring in heavy traffic areas
- Aircraft emissions in ambient air
- Control of water and soil (toxic solvents)
- Workplace control
