PCME provide a complimentary range of particulate monitoring technologies to ensure that only the right technique is used in a particular application. Interference and cross-sensitivities are minimised by selection of the most appropriate technology.

ElectroDynamic™ Probe Electrification Particulate Emission Monitoring

Principle of Operation

  • Technique based on a charge induction principle derived from particle interaction with probe.  Instrument output is an analysis of this frequency response. 

Applicability

Dust Concentration

Certification

Bagfilters, Cyclones, Humid air streams

0.01 mg/m3 to 10,000 mg/m3

0-15 mg/m3 (MCERTS/TUV)

Unique Features

  • Unaffected by contamination of probe
  • Unique solution for dryers and humid gas streams
  • Optimised to tolerate change in velocity of 8-18 m/s
  • Zero and span checks
  • Patented insulated sensor for humid applications
  • Patented probe contamination check

Pro-scatter™ Forward Scatter Particulate Emission Monitoring

Principle of Operation

  • Cone of scattered light from particles within the measurement volume of the sensor probe is collected and measured


Applicability

Dust Concentration

Certification

Incinerators with dry scrubbers, cement kilns, power plant (oil, gas and coal fired)

0.1 mg/m3 to 1,000 mg/m3

0-15 mg/m3 (QAL1)



Unique Features

  • Cone measurement increases particle interaction volume
  • Extended temperature range (no fibre optics)
  • Detector position unchanged in self-check mode
  • Self-checks to meet PS-11 and QAL3 (EN-14181)

DynamicOpacity™ Ratiometric Opacity Particulate Emission Monitoring

Principle of Operation

  • Ratiometric measurement based on light variation


Applicability

Dust Concentration

Certification

Bagfilters, Electrostatic Precipitators, Cyclones, Boiler Stacks

10 mg/m3 to 20,000 mg/m3

0-150 mg/m3 (MCERTS/TUV)



Unique Features

  • Ratiometric measurement permits accurate measurement when lens contaminated up to 90%
  • Zero and span checks on compliance instruments
  • Light intensity, upscale checks
  • Selectable dust concentration and/or opacity outputs
  • Optional audit unit
  • Blower systems not required since air purge is sufficient
