PERFECT TIMING FOR AIR QUALITY & EMISSIONS EVENT
AQE 2017 will take place in Telford (UK) on 24th and 25th May at a time when the health effects of air pollution are constantly in the headlines, and when the UK Government is due to consult on its latest plans to comply with air quality guidelines in the UK’s larger towns and cities. Registration for the event is now open, with entry to the Exhibition and Workshops free of charge. However, a range of fees apply for those that wish to attend one or more of the Conferences.
will run in four rooms located within the Exhibition Hall. The exhibition will provide a unique opportunity to see most of the world’s leading organisations in air quality and emissions monitoring products and services.
Visitors to AQE 2017 will include anyone with a professional interest in industrial emissions and ambient air quality. This will include the operators of regulated processes, regulators, environmental health offi cers, test houses, consultants, the media, researchers, academics, accreditation organisations, technology manufacturers and service providers.
Day 1:
AQE 2017 is the ninth in a series of specialist air monitoring events that began at Bretby (UK) in 2002. “The Conference themes of AQE 2017 will again focus on monitoring,” says organiser Marcus Pattison. “The VW scandal highlighted the importance of accurate, reliable monitoring techniques and regulations, and this is equally relevant for the industrial emissions and ambient air quality monitoring sectors, so the AQE 2017 presentations will provide a fantastic opportunity for visitors to glean the latest information on regulations, techniques, standards, methods and technologies.
“The success of ClientEarth’s case in the High Court has meant that the UK Government has had to re-evaluate its air quality strategy, and inevitably seek initiatives to lower pollution levels in urban areas. Accurate, reliable monitoring is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of such measures, and AQE 2017 will provide an opportunity for the whole sector to come together and fi nd the best way forward.”
Outside of the AQE 2017 Conferences, registered visitors (
www.AQEShow.com) will receive free access to an international Exhibition and a series of walk-in/walk-out Workshops that
Industrial Emissions Conference –monitoring diffi cult gases and dust
The fi rst day of the AQE 2017 conference will address the monitoring of diffi cult gases and dust components in industrial emissions, with presentations from an international panel of experts. The conference will begin with a regulatory update on the Industrial Emissions Directive, provided by David Graham of Uniper. Marc Coleman from NPL will then discuss the
IET March / April 2017
www.envirotech-online.com challenge presented by the monitoring requirements for SO2 , and
he will be followed by Antti Heikkilä from Gasmet Technologies in Finland who will describe the impact of new EN Standards on the acid gases HF and HCl, including an overview of the current status of test methods and currently available instrumental measurement techniques.
The two main NOx control strategies rely on the accurate dosing of NH3 or urea, and Dr Barbara Marshik from Servomex in the United States will explain the advantages of direct gas measurements with a feedback process loop for Ammonia slip monitoring that reduces NOx and Ammonium Bisulphate formation. Paul Firth from Tarmac in the UK will then describe the challenges and possible solutions to the calibration and measurement of particulates at low concentrations.
The afternoon sessions will begin with a presentation by Erkki Lamminen from Dekati in Finland, who will describe the Dekati® eFilter™ which combines gravimetric PM measurement with real-time diffusion charging and current measurement. Indoor, outdoor and combustion source measurement studies will be described and compared with other instrumentation.
Following the US EPA regulations for coal and oil fi red processes and cement kilns, process operators had to choose a mercury monitoring method – either sorbent trap sampling or continuous mercury monitoring. Shawn Wood and Andy Curtis will describe the mercury monitoring that has taken place in the United Sates and relate this to the European CEN that is currently being developed. Continuing the mercury monitoring theme, Mike Hayes from the Linde Group in the United States, will then discuss the calibration methods available.
In the fi nal presentation of the fi rst day, Heather Whittenbury from Johnson Matthey in the UK, will explain how gaseous and liquid fuels can be treated with fi xed bed absorbents at ambient temperature to remove H2S and mercury, and the absorption profi le can be easily measured. An abstract for each presentation is available at
