Air Monitoring New Certifications Achieved for Flow Meter
CODEL International (UK) is pleased to announce that the VCEM 5100 flow monitor has successfully received certification under QAL 1 of EN 15267 requirements. Tested by TUV Rheinland at a power station operating under the Waste Incineration Directive, the VCEM 5100 is certified for use on all EU regulated stationary emissions.
The VCEM 5100 represents the latest generation of CODEL’s world renowned in-situ flow monitors The VCEM 5100 technology offers significant benefits over other types of flow measurement devices.
It operates accurately in stacks with hot, dusty and aggressive gases and does not require stable, laminar flow conditions in the stack. As the sensing elements of the VCEM 5100 are isolated from the stack gas by an air curtain, they are unaffected by temperature constraints. Maintenance requirements are very low and easy to carry out. In addition the VCEM 5100 can operate at significantly higher temperatures than other continuous monitoring technologies and there is an optional off- line checking system for the AST Linearity test.
The VCEM 5100 is a standalone unit which can be easily integrated into an existing or proposed CEMS system. It uses a unique measurement method, whereby naturally occurring infra-red patterns emitted from moving flow disturbances are measured by two passive infra-red sensors, a fixed distance apart. Stack gas velocity is calculated by measuring the time of flight of these transient events between the two sensors. A cross-correlation algorithm establishes the uncertainty of the measurement and excludes invalid data.
With the forthcoming EU requirements for monitoring mass flow in stacks in mind , the VCEM 5100 represents a cost effective flow monitor with superb accuracy and very low levels of maintenance required.
Reader Reply Card No. A Cleaner Chapter for Manufacturing in Australia and India
The Australia India Business Council (AIBC), Victoria recently launched a new business initiative, Cleantech Chapter announcing Manoj Kumar, International Business Manager at Ecotech as President.
The AIBC was set up in 1986 following recognition of the enormous trade potential between Australia and India by the Prime Ministers of the day, Bob Hawke of Australia and Rajiv Gandhi of India.
The AIBC, which has representatives and members across all states and territories, is positioned so members can benefit from the continuing upward trend in two-way trade in goods and services between the two countries.
Members of the Cleantech Chapter will have access to professional opportunities including trade forums, business development initiatives, policy development sessions and a large network of people in the manufacturing and service sectors.
As the new President of the Cleantech Chapter, Manoj will be promoting clean technology businesses through multilateral engagement between leading Australian and Indian manufacturers, researchers, service and technology providers and customers.
“I am excited and proud about this new opportunity. The cleantech sector in Victoria includes over 300 companies employing more than 19,000 people with annual revenues of more than $3.5 billion, so I am looking forward to working with members and companies to help create a cleaner future,” he said.
Manoj is currently an AIBC Management Committee member and International Business Manager at Ecotech, creating business opportunities in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.
With more than 15 years experience in clean technology and scientific instrumentation, he worked on the Delhi Pollution Control Committee setting up air quality monitoring systems during the Commonwealth Games in 2011.
Manoj has contributed several articles on clean technology and also been published in the magazine, International Environmental Technology. Reader Reply Card No. Reader Reply Card No. 147

Zero Air Material for Acid Rain CEMS Reporting
Air Liquide (France) has introduced Scott™ brand 72.2 Certified ZAM™ zero air material to meet 40 CFR Part 75 regulations which call for a CEM system to be exposed to "zero air material" during testing protocols in order to qualify the accuracy of the instrument. Part 75.21 states that calibration gases used for this purpose must meet the definitions of 40 CFR Part 72.2. Paragraph (1) of Part 72.2 states: A calibration gas certified by the gas vendor not to contain
concentrations of SO2, NOx, or total hydrocarbons above 0.1 parts per million (ppm), a concentration of CO above 1 ppm, or a concentration of CO2 above 400 ppm.
Some CEMS users mistakenly use a standard EPA protocol mixture as a zero gas, thinking this will satisfy the EPA's Acid Rain requirement. But does it really? Not so much. It's a practice that can result in inaccurate CEMS calibration due to biased zero readings arising from contamination in the mixture.
Air Liquide solves this problem, while achieving a balance between regulatory compliance certainty and cost-effectiveness, by offering three types of zero air materials that are guaranteed to be Part 75 compliant; 72.2 Certified ZAM Air , 72.2 Certified ZAM Nitrogen and 72.2 Certified ZAM RATA. Class™ Oxygen EPA Protocol
Each ZAM product is analysed and certified to meet paragraph (1) for trace SO2, NOx, THC, CO and CO2. By using these certified zero products, the risk of faulty calibration due to biased zero readings is eliminated. Scott brand 72.2 Certified ZAM air is engineered to meet
or exceed regulatory requirements of condition paragraph (1). Scott Certified ZAM nitrogen is useful in that some CEMS users prefer to use nitrogen to zero their instruments. In this case however, the nitrogen still must meet the impurity requirements of "zero air material." Reader Reply Card No.
