(Adsorption
Method forSampling
of Dioxins and Furans)
Applications
-
The continuous
monitoring of dioxin and furan emissions of incinerators is a
topic which has been discussed globally over the last several
years. Even though a continuous on-line monitoring system would be
the optimum solution, such systems are not available. Therefore,
long-term sampling using AMESA could close the gap between reality
and target results. AMESA provides more informations on dioxin
emissions than the usual short-term collection of samples over a
few hours on 1 – 3 selected days per year.
-
The TUV
approved AMESA monitoring system is used for measuring dioxin/furanemissions in plants which have to be approved and are subject to
the German environmental regulations 17. BImSchV and TA
Luft.
using AMESA could close the gap between reality
and target results. AMESA provides more informations
on dioxin emissions than the usual
-
The
AMESA can be used, for example, in refuse incinerators, hazardous
material incinerators, medical waste burners, cement kilns etc.
Special Features
-
Uses
the well-known adsorption method
-
Information
on monthly, 2-weekly or weekly mean value of dioxin/furan emissions by
analysis of mixed sample (XAD-II cartridge) in laboratory
-
Additional
information on flue gas velocity, sample gas flow volume, flue gas and
cartridge temperature as half-hourly average. Optional up to 4 informations like e.g. O2, CO2, CO, HCl, dust etc.
can be recorded and saved half-hourly average.
-
No
collection of condensate and none of the associated handling problems
during monitoring over long periods
-
Broadly
based measuring range for dioxin/furan concentrations between 0.0001 and
10 ng/m³ (as TE to NATO CCMS model).
-
Sampling period between 6
hours and 4 weeks possible
Advantages
 |
-
Reduced
running costs by minimizing
the useof additives
-
Reduced
costs by optimizing the built-in dioxin
reduction stages
-
Input
control in wooden incinerators is no
more
needed
-
Minimizing
running and maintenance costs
by
monitoring the
reduction in furnace temperature
-
Minimizing
handling costs, due to no
sampling of the
condensate
-
Achieving a “transparent flue” and the
environmental acceptance that goes with it |
