All equipment of the department and Energy Research Centre is upgraded and supplemented from time to time. We apply the following devices:
- CO, NOx, SO2, CO2 emission concentration measurement – URAS 14 analyzers for continuous gas emission measurement (Hartman & Braun),
- O2 concentration measurement – PMA 30 analyzer (Afriso),
- Hydrocarbon sum concentration measurement – FID analyzer (Hartman & Braun),
- Sample withdrawal and preparation device (M&C),
- Disposable solid particulate and heavy metal concentration measurement – combined probes for disposable waste gas sampling for solid particulate and heavy metal content determination and simultaneous measurement of waste gas volume and flow rate. The probes are used in 1.5 m, 2.5 m and 3.5 m lengths.
- Analytical sampling apparatus:
- Determination of heavy metals in gaseous phase,
- Determination of PCDD/PFDD and PAU concentrations,
- Determination of HCl, HF and NH3 concentrations,
In 2009, the list of analyzers applied in authorized emission measurement was extended by a multicomponent gas analyzer for continuous measurement using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in the evaluation. We are able to perform accredited continuous measurement of concentration of gaseous emissions of CO, CO2, NO, SO2, HCl, HF, CH4 and NH3 and other waste gas components such as H2O, C3H8, NO2 and N2O using this device.
In 2011, the list of methods applied was supplemented with chemiluminescent method for NOx emission measurement and NH3 measurement by laser analyzer. The chemiluminescent method is a reference NOx measurement method which is required for verification of continuous emission measurement devices. The laser analyzer is used for exact determination of ammonia slip of denitrification units enabling to determine low N concentrations up to 50 mg/m3.
