Optical measurements of SO2 SO3
and other gases H
igh-resolution optical technologies – such as ultraviolet differential optical
absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy – can make gas measurements right in the process stream, without extracting any sample or using any test probe. A focused beam of light shoots across the stream and the spectral traces that process gases leave are analysed. The strength of the absorption spectrum yielded in the light corresponds to a concentration of the gas along the light path. Many gases can be picked up this ) and Sulphur

) are monitored in dynamic using this type of gas monitoring system.

are monitored with ease since this system doesn’t employ any sampling or condition equipment that these gases may react with. This is a non-extractive gas monitoring solution that provides continuous unattended operation over extended periods of time. n

Near real-time measurement is provided in process gases that are hot (up to 1,000°C) and that may contain high levels of dust (several grams per cubic meter). Other gases that the system can be programmed to read include combustion related gases, nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2
). S
pinTek, a manufacturer of filters and coalescers for high-volume organic separations in the SX/ EW circuit for mining process streams, now has an answer to the struggle to modernise operations, control costs and increase productivity: StreamScan. This software gives SpinTek engineers secure virtual access to solvent extraction (SX) dual-media filter systems and coalescing filters at hundreds of remote sites The remote access gateway program interacts with system components to solve troubleshooting issues through modifications and on-demand reporting, and establish alarm profiles and updates. Plant managers can now increase productivity and enhance filter performance with sophisticated tools for data collection and logging to analyse filter performance in real time, averting potential upset conditions and costly downtime. n
