Waste to Energy - Gas Analysis
September 2008
With energy economics leading the way, syngas, gasification, fuel cells, biomass waste are the industry buzzwords nowadays. There are countless new projects as people turn to sustainable ways of producing energy. The fuel produced, usually methane or hydrogen, is then used to drive engine generator sets.
Hitech Instruments, the UK gas analyser specialists, manufacture a range of instruments to monitor fuel purity, potentially explosive levels of oxygen and impurities (e.g. hydrogen sulphide). A range of configurations are available from general purpose, single gas analysers to multi-parameter instruments dedicated to specific applications.
Thermal conductivity sensors are excellent for hydrogen measurement, special galvanic cells with hydrocarbon and acidic gas tolerance are generally used for oxygen analysis whilst methane detection is by infrared sensors.
Bespoke sample conditioning systems are available dependent on the application. Typically these involve components to remove aerosol particles, water and water vapour, adjust pressure and flow to provide optimum conditions for analysis.
In line with current legislation, the range of ATEX and hazardous area options are constantly being improved. There is massive expertise within the group. Hitech Instruments are part of the MTL Group of companies, world leaders in intrinsic safety and now, itself part of Cooper Industries.
Hitech Instruments have been specialising in gas analysers for over 25 years and take great pride in the level of technical support they provide. New distributor enquiries are always welcomed.
