Air Monitoring - UK Focus
Highlighting a further benefit of PACT’s relationship with Quantitech, Dr Milkowski says: “The availability of rentable Gasmet FTIR systems from Quantitech is important because most of our projects incur a substantial investment in resources within a tightly defined time-scale, so, even though we have not yet had cause to make use of a backup system, it is comforting to know that FTIR systems could be made available at short notice if necessary.”

from an equivalent of approximately 150kW conventional coal combustion flue gas. The plant incorporates an 8m absorber column equipped with temperature and differential pressure sensors, solvent sampling ports, provisions for corrosion coupons and alternative materials test sites, and trace gas injection capability. The plant also has an integrated flue gas desulphurisation carbonate wash system.
Typical flue gas CO levels following coal combustion are around 12% and, depending on the solvent and the flow rate, the concentration following carbon capture is about 1%.
The SCCP is connected directly to the PACT combustion facilities which include a 250kW Air Combustion Plant and the 300kW Gas Turbine System, enabling post-combustion capture research from real flue gases from natural gas power plants as well as pulverised fuel combustion plants including coal, biomass and co-firing. The facility is also connected to a dedicated gas mixing facility enabling carbon capture from any synthesised flue gas compositions, including industrial effluent gas mixtures.

The UKCCSRC PACT site at Beighton includes a Solvent-based Carbon Capture Plant (SCCP) which enables the development, evaluation and optimisation of a variety of solvents for post- combustion capture. It is designed to remove up to 1 tonne/
Summarising, the advantages of PACT’s gas monitoring system, Dominic Duggan says: “Dr Milkowski’s work with the Gasmet DX4000 analyser has clearly demonstrated the suitability of multiparameter FTIR for monitoring CCS plants. In most applications we would recommend a fixed continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) for such applications, however, as a research site, the PACT facility requires maximum flexibility in its resources, so the portability of this system is ideal for PACT’s work.”

MCERTS Award for VOC Emissions Analyser
Quantitech has announced that the Sick 3006 portable VOC monitor has a new MCERTS certificate, valid to July 2019. The company’s Dominic Duggan says: “This is important news for any process that needs to report total hydrocarbon emissions data; MCERTS is essential for monitoring Part A processes, however, as a portable instrument, the 3006 is also ideal for Part B processes and stack testers in a wide range of industries.”
The certificate confirms that the 3006 instrument complies with: MCERTS Performance Standards for Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems, Version 3.4 dated July 2012 EN15267-3:2007, and QAL 1 as defined in EN 14181: 2004.
Completely self-contained, with its own air and gas supplies, the 3006 is a heated total hydrocarbon analyser for monitoring combustion and ventilation stacks from 100ppb to 100,000ppm. Employing a patented miniature heated sensor block with a flame ionisation detector (FID) controlled up to 240°C, the 3006 can be used to monitor steam saturated gases.
The field tests for which the 3006 is certified were conducted with both fuel gas options – Hydrogen and Hydrogen/Helium mix. However, Hydrogen is by far the more preferable option because it is significantly lower in cost and the 3006 operates at very low flow rates (20cc/min).
a1-cbiss Ltd. design and build syngas monitoring systems which are installed on Gasification & Pyrolysis sites to determine the calorific value of syngas - a synthetic gas that is produced as during the thermal treatment of waste. This enables the site operator to claim Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) which offers a financial incentive.
The syngas system is made up of a number of gas analysis and conditioning components from Ankersmid Sampling such as sampling probes, heated lines, sample filters and gas coolers for monitoring emissions to ensure a clean flow and accurate sample of gas is correctly prepared for the analyser in gas monitoring systems with high quality precision.
In addition to the stationary system, although the principle of use is the same, a1-cbiss have designed a portable system which allows users to easily transport the system in a lightweight carry case to various points of detection.
The Portable Syngas System is small, robust & lightweight. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the a1-cbiss Portable Gas Conditioning System (PGCS) which features a portable sample probe, heated line, gas cooler and filters to ‘clean’ the sample gas prior to entering the syngas analyser.
The Portable Syngas System features an internal data logger for real-time data readings and can easily connect to a laptop (via a RS232 cable) to provide real time data and data storage on a laptop.
