| Q |
What sensitivity can I
achieve from my particulate monitor? |
| A |
Electrodynamic
technology-based products will pick up levels as low as 0.01 mg/m3.
eg in the lead industry they are used on applications as low as 0.2 mg/m3.
Dynamic Opacity technology-based products will typically monitor concentrations >10mg/m3.
(sensitivity dependent on stack diameter) |
| Q |
What stack diameters can
I use my particulate monitor in? |
| A |
Electrodynamic
technology-based products - 50mm to 6m.
Dynamic Opacity technology-based products - 1m to 15m. |
| Q |
What stack temperatures
can I use my particulate monitor in? |
| A |
Up to 800°C. (model
dependant) |
| Q |
Can gas streams with
vapour or moist particles be monitored? |
| A |
Yes, using Electrodynamic
technology-based products and our unique, patented insulated sensors. |
| Q |
Can insulated sensors be
used after a wet collector? |
| A |
Yes, but only for
indicative monitoring if there is water carry-over. |
| Q |
Can I monitor aerosols
using the Electrodynamic technique? |
| A |
Yes, they have been
proven for oil mist monitoring after coalescent filters. |
| Q |
Can I monitor fume? |
| A |
Yes. fume with particle
sizes as low as 0.1 micron is commonly monitored. |
| Q |
What proof of reliability
can I obtain for effective compliance monitoring? |
| A |
Assessment of instruments
by independent authorities such as UK MCERTS and German TUV add
confidence in buying a proven technology. |
| Q |
What evidence of success
in my particular application is available? |
| A |
Reference
sites world-wide are available for both environmental and process
applications as diverse as emissions monitoring in power stations to
the production of milk powder. |
| Q |
What additional benefits
can I attain from my particulate monitor? |
| A |
By utilising "Predict"
software, certain particulate monitors may also be used as a
preventative maintenance tool and can show degrading filter performance
when used on bag filters. |
| Q |
Will one single
technique solve all my monitoring requirements? |
| A |
In our experience - NO
which is why PCME provide complementary technologies suitable for
almost any application. |
