Complete Emission Measurement Technology from SICK

Emission monitoring from SICK: global solutions for a globally relevant topic
Effective climate protection as well as the maintenance and restoration of aclean environment are among the greatest challenges facing today's global community. In addition to efficient energy management, this primarily means effectively reducing pollutants and environmental hard, or better still, preventing them. This must be implemented in all emission-relevant industries and regions especially those with intensive energy requirements as well as densely populated centers worldwide. The goal of reducing air pollution to the lowest technically feasible level is primarily achieved with state of the art waste gas purification processes. Emissions must be determined both in terms of quantity and quality as well asminimized in a targeted manner, as far as possible. This can be realized with proactive planning of industrial plants as well as the continuous monitoring of emissions. Continuous emission measurement is used to determine the emission behavior of industrial plants. SICK is the only manufacturer worldwide in this area with decades of experience offering a complete range of emission measurement technology. We use proven measurement principles and innovative technologies to ensure future-oriented solutions even under ever increasing environmental and safety-related requirements.

Technologies and Measuring Principles

Analysis technology made in Germany


SICK has optimal customization solutions for an extremely wide ranging spectrum of plant conditions and for solving complex measurement tasks. This includes in-situ and extractive measurement technology based on powerful measurement principles both for individual sampling points as well as for complete systems.

In-situ gas analysis


Innovative in-situ measurement technology for direct installation in devices at the respective measurement site. The analyzers measure in-situ, i.e. directly at the measurement site under system conditions and are available as adevice solution. They are characterized primarily by their minimal maintenance requirements and extremely short response times. SICK's in-situ analyzers are available in two different versions: The cross-duct version for representative measured results across the entire duct diameter The measuring probe version, optimized for singlesided installation allowing simple integration into an extremely varied range of system conditions. For example, overpressure, wet gases and extremely high measured gas concentrations and dust loads.

Benefits: Continuous and direct measurement, no sampling The cross-duct version for representative measured results or measuring probe version for simple installation GMP measuring probe with open measuring gap or GPP gas diffusion probe

Extractive gas analysis


SICK's extractive gas analyzers can be used in a broad range of applications. They work according to extractive principles, in other words, a partial gas flow is extracted from the gas duct and is fed to the analyzer module under constant conditions. Everything is optimally designed for the measurement task, from gas sampling via selected sensors and optimized gas conditioning, through to the selection of numerous analyzer modules. Hot extractive measurement technology All components which come into contact with the measured gas are heated, thereby ensuring they are above the dew point. The actual analysis is undertaken under constant hot measurement conditions and delivers precise measurement results, even with extremely narrow measuring ranges. Ideal for detection of numerous gas components as well as water soluble components such as HCl, HF or NH3. Cold extractive measurement technology Gas sampling can be realized with either heated or unheated sample gas lines. Gas drying is achieved with ahigh-performance gas cooler. The "cold" measurement ishandled by the analyzer.

Benefits: Optimally configurable analyzer modules for a wide range of applications Customized solutions designed for numerous possible measuring components Precise and reliable measured results thanks to proven measuring principles Detection of aggressive, corrosive or combustible gases

Technologies and Measuring Principles

Dust measurement via laserbased back-scattering technology


This measurement principle developed by SICK based on back-scattering of light enables the measurement of even minute concentrations of dust. A laser diode irradiates the dust particles in the measured medium with modulated light in the visible spectrum. The light scattered by the particles is picked up by a highly sensitive detector, which then feeds the measured signal to an evaluation unit for processing. The compensation of background radiation and ambient light, automatic testing of zero point and reference point as well as a soiling check mean the system delivers stable and reproducible measurement results. Sophisticated measurement tasks, forexample, in hot or aggressive measurement media are therefore nolonger a problem.

UV resonance absorption spectroscopy (UVRAS)


SICK uses cold-extractive process photometers equipped with the UV resonance absorption measurement spectroscopy measurement principle (UVRAS). The system makes use of the fact that certain gases exhibit specific absorption characteristics in the ultraviolet spectrum. In order to achieve this, the measured gas is irradiated with ultraviolet light. The concentration o f gas components can then be determined through selective use of the wavelength and measurement of the absorption. In this manner the analyzer is able to measure gas concentrations of, for example, NO, NO2, NH3, SO2 and H2S by means of interference filter correlation (IFC). The gas filter correlation (UVRAS) is used for extremely precise measurement of NO.

Atom-absorption spectroscopy based on the Zeeman effect


An Hg-discharge lamp emits an element-specific spectrum, which enables an extremely sensitive level of mercury measurement. A magnetic field applied around the discharge lamp creates an additional reference value wavelength (the Zeeman effect), which lies outside of the absorption range of Hg atoms. This means that cross sensitivities and lamp aging or contamination is optimally compensated for. A high temperature converter converts the bound Hg at approximately 1000 C into elemental Hg. The advantages of this are that no chemicals or catalyzes are required, maintenance is minimal and there are no moving parts. The patented direct Hg measurement system makes the MERCEM300Z into a reference device for continuous mercury analysis.

Requirements of Emission Measurement Systems


Selection of a continuous emission measurement system
The selection of a continuous emission measurement system (CEMS) is not a simple process. General inquiries for the lowest initial investment can work out to be the most expensive solution when viewed over the entire operational lifetime. Unfortunately there is no generally-applicable rule that can beapplied, as individual requirements relating to the respective industrial plant can have a major impact on the suitability and all important costs of the CEMS technology under consideration. Production industries such as the power-supply industry or the cement industry are generally subject to defined regulations and laws governing the reduction of emissions. They are able to select from a broad range of continuous emission measurement systems. The operational lifetime of a CEMS is typically more than 10 years. The operating costs can amount to up to three times the cost of the initial investment, depending on the selected measurement technology (in-situ, cold or hot extractive) and the mix of measurement principles used.

10 steps to a suitable emission measurement system

What process parameters and gas components are to be monitored in the system and what measuring ranges are required?

The number and type of components to be monitored and recorded in accordance with the requirements of environmental authorities determines the selection of a suitable CEMS system.

Aggressive gas components can influence the operation and reliability of CEMS systems when using alternative fuels.

Have the operating conditions on-site been clarified?

What fuel is currently used or is to be deployed in the near


future?

Is a complete list of measuring components and parameters as well as the required measuring ranges and tolerances available? Must reference parameters such as temperature, pressure, moisture or O2 content be measured? Determination of particle concentrations, opacity or mass flow required?

When using alternative fuels, does the system meet the stringent thermal requirements for monitoring waste treatment processes?

Generally, the respective reporting system is derived from national regulations or international specifications such as those from the EU or EPA in the US.

What conformities and regulations apply to emissions monitoring?

If critical gas components are produced, such as organic compounds, NH3, chlorine or sulfur, the CEMS system must be able to reliably measure these components, even in higher concentrations.

5 6

What sources exist that can lead to the production of critical gas components?

What national regulations and standards apply? Is it necessary to take international standards such as EU
directives or US EPA standards into consideration? Do additional specifications apply to certain measuring technology due to specific plant requirements?

Are the operating conditions to remain constant for the entire operational lifetime of the CEMS system?

Gas cleaning plants such as DeNOx or wet scrubbers significantly reduce the amount of pollutants. However, higher NH3 concentrations due to the addition of ammonia or carbamide as well as deviations in temperature and moisture can significantly reduce the availability and operational lifetime of the measuring system.

Environmental legislation is forcing the trend towards a sustainable and environmentally aware economy. For this reason, it should be possible to adapt or retrofit the CEMS system for possible future requirements.

Are new regulations expected, which could influence emissions trading or reporting?

For example, additional monitoring of HCI and mercury in


the cement production industry.

The operational lifetime of a CEMS is typically more than 10 years. The actual operating costs can amount to more than triple the cost of acquisition, depending on the selected measuring technology. The following is to be taken intoconsideration:

What is the total cost of operation, not merely the cost of acquisition?

Composition of the CEMS, incl. gas sampling and conditioning Consumables / additives and spare parts Maintenance and service intervals

Why measure emissions?


Action is necessary due to global warming caused by the greenhouse effect. One important measure is to sustainable measure the emission of climaterelevant gases in order to attain an important reference value for the efficient reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, locally the hazardous impact of smog, ozone and dust play a decisive role. In many counties there is a legislative basis for a sustained environmentally compatible reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as well as laws and directives relating to the emission of pollutants. These regulations include specifications for technology and modes of operation for systems as well as specifications detailing pollutant limits permissible in released clean gas and what measuring technology may be used for purposes of monitoring.

Regulations, approval bodies and elements include:


EU directives and TV approvals with the directive relating to large combustion plants and gas turbine systems (2001/80/ EC),incineration and co-incineration of waste (2000/76/EC) Quality standards for automated measuring systems (EN 14181, EN 15267) The new industrial emissions directive 2010/75/EU for integrated prevention and reduction of environmental pollution. Approval body MCERTS for Great Britain Environmental agency U.S. EPA with the American quality standards (EPA CFR 11 Part 60 and Part 75) Japanese industrial standard JIS Standards organization GOST for Russian standards and regulations Chinese EPA CEP EPA standards for many other countries

Regulations PS_header1_small_blue and Provisions

What are emissions?


Emissions in terms of the environment refer to the discharge, transmission or disposal of disrupting factors into the environment. Each emission results from an immisson (discharge). Emissions in the form of discharges are comprised of toxic, harmful or environmentally hazardous chemical substances as well as pollutants of all kinds, irritants and allergens.

Purpose of emission minimization


The purpose is to protect people, flora and fauna, water, the atmosphere as well as cultural and other property from injurious pollution, significant negative consequences and significant nuisance emissions as well as to actively prevent the formation of injurious pollution. The environment can be protected primarily by way of limiting emissions. Statutory limitations always represent interference into the freedom of action of the generating industry. For this reason, in many countries emissions may not be limited "for their own sake", but only in accordance with the principle of proportionality analogously to their harmfulness (effect on the environment and human health).

PS_header1_small_blue Glossary

PS_header2_small_blue

A
Accuracy
Qualitative term for the extent of approximation of detected results to the reference value, whereby depending on determination or agreement, this may relate to the true value, approximate value or an empirical value.

D
Drift
Monotone change of the calibration function in a specified maintenance interval, leading to a change in the measured value.

AMS
Automatic Measuring System (AMS) for monitoring of emissions from stationary sources, which are installed on the plant. In the case of extractive AMS, further equipment is included in addition to the actual measuring device (analyzer) for purposes of sampling (e.g. probes, probe gas lines, flow measurement, discharge pumps) and sample conditioning (e.g. dust filter, cooler, converters).

E
Emissions
Emissions in terms of the environment refer to the discharge, transmission or disposal of disrupting factors into the environment.

EN 14181/EN 15267
The standard EN 14181 specifies quality assurance levels (QAL) for the suitability of automatic measuring systems (AMS) for corresponding measuring tasks (QAL1), the regular calibration and validation of the AMS (QAL2), the continued monitoring of the AMS during operation of the plant (QAL3) aswell as an annual functional test (AST).

Area of certification
The area in which the automatic measuring system (AMS) is tested and certified in relation to maintenance of the relevant minimum requirements.

C
Calibration
Determination of a calibration function of (temporally) limited validity which is applied to an AMS for a specified measuring point. A gas mixture of known composition (calibration gas, test gas) with systematically graded contents is applied to the measuring components.

Extractive measuring technology


Equipment and complete automated measuring systems (AMS) for sampling, conditioning and analysis of a sample from the gas or media being examined, undertaken at a representative measuring point.

I
In-situ measuring technology
Automatic measuring system (AMS) where the measurement is carried out directly in the gas duct, without removing a sample from the process. If the measurement is undertaken across the diameter of the exhaust gas duct, then pollutants are detected in a representative manner to a large extent. Refer to cross duct.

Calibration function
Functional ratio between the measured value, for example the extinction and content, for example, a mass concentration.

CEM, CEMS
Equipment for continuous emissions monitoring CEM and CEMS (Continuous Emission Monitoring System). This term is used largely in Great Britain and the USA for "AMS".

M
Maintenance interval
Maximum permissible period of time within which the maintenance of specified values relating to the process performance data can be guaranteed, without the requirement for external maintenance, for example, refilling, calibration or adjustment.

Cross-duct
Based on principles of in-situ measuring technology, the measured values are detected contact-free by the automatic measuring system (AMS) directly in the gas flow and across the entire duct diameter (cross duct). In doing so, two measuring devices are aligned to each other (generally a sender-receiver unit and a reflector), so that a representative measurement is ensured for both within the same measured diameter.

Measured value
An assessed value derived from the measured signal relating to the air quality characteristic. This includes usual calculations based on calibration and conversion in desired values.

PS_header2_small_blue

PS_header1_small_blue Glossary

Measurement inaccuracy
A parameter, associated with the result of a measurement, that characterizes the dispersion of the values that could be reasonable be attributed to the measured value.

S
Sensitivity
Describes a change of value in the output variable of a measuring device referred to the change of value of the input variable which causes it.

Measuring principles and measured values


The measuring principle makes it possible to measure another value instead of the measured value, in order to unambiguously derive the measured value from it. It is based on a repeatable physical occurrence (phenomenon, effect) with a known physical relationship between the measured value and the other variable.

Standard deviation
Positive square root from the mean square deviation of the arithmetical average divided by the number of degrees of freedom.

Measuring probe version


Optimized design of in-situ measuring AMS with fixed active measuring distance of the measuring probe, for single-side installation at the measuring point. An automatic self-test function (QAL3) is possible without test gases.

Standard reference methods


Reference method specified for use in European or national regulations (for example, for calibration and validation of automatic measuring systems (AMS) and for repeated measurements to test for maintenance of the limit values).

P
Precision
Describes the maximum deviation between independently detected results, obtained by the tester repeatedly carrying out aspecified detection process under prescribed conditions. DIN specifies explicitly that the detection process is considered more accurate if it exhibits fewer "random result deviations".

Suitability testing
Describes the suitability of automatic measuring systems for monitoring emissions from stationary sources in accordance with the standards EN 14181 and EN 15267-3, which deal with suitability testing and corresponding minimum requirements and test procedures.

T
Test gas
A test gas is a gas or mixture of gases which is suitable for purposes of calibration due to its known composition. It can also be used for validation or verification.

R
Reference material
Substance or mixture of substances with known concentrations in specified limits or a device with known properties.

Z
Zero gas
Gas or gas mixture of known quality (for example a complimentary gas or calibration gas) which is not contained in the measured component(s) and serves to calibrate the zero value of a measuring device.

Reference method
A measuring method used on agreement for reference purposes, which delivers the recognized reference value of the measured value. See also standard reference methods.

Repeatability
Degree of compliance between the measured results for the same measured value under unchanged measuring conditions. See also reproducibility.

Reproducibility
Degree of compliance between the measured results for the same measured value under identical measuring conditions. See also reproducibility.
