ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

Stack Testing

Ankersmid Sampling

APS Portable Gas Sampling System

The emission of pollutants resulting from a multitude of activities (industry, transport, …) alters the atmospheric composition and degrade air quality. Control of gaseous pollutant emissions in the atmosphere has become a major challenge for the protection of human health and the environment. To avoid these risks, the regulation has established discharge limits thresholds for certain pollutants and requires periodic inspections whose frequency depends on the type of activity (from 3 months to 3 years). Accredited stack testing companies are responsible for conducting short to medium term environmental compliance monitoring tasks in a wide range of industries and processes such as power plants and large manufacturing facilities including paper mill, foundry, waste recycling facilities,  refineries…

Prior to be analysed, the gas extracted from the discharge stack or process duct requires delicate conditioning which mainly consist of particulate filtration and moisture removal. Failure to achieve an efficient sample preparation can results in inaccurate measurements, loss of data or damaged equipment.

While stack testers and local authorities are continuously devoting time and knowledge to optimise the methods and protocols related to short to medium terms mandatory analysis campaign, ANKERSMID® has invested its long time expertise in developing the APS Portable Gas Conditioning Systems in direct collaboration with  leading stack testing companies.

Syngas monitoring

Purpose of gas monitoring in DRI plant

The use of process gas online monitoring systems at locations such blast furnace gas outlet, converter off gas exhaust and coking gas outlet is very reasonable in order to analyse the fuel gases composition by measuring the concentration of  CO, CO2, O2, N2, CH4, and H2. There from the calorific value BTU and the Wobbe Index WI can be accurately calculated. Modern steel plants uses dedicated stationary online monitoring system to monitor the primary constituents of  Direct Reduction Iron process gases essential to have a full understanding of the process status and efficiency.

  • In particular, the energy content of the gases, as described by their calorific value, provides the user with important information about efficient firing of different plants in the steel mill (coking plant, sinter plant, rolling mill, etc.) or a nearby power plant.
  • High-calorific coke or natural gas is mixed with low-calorific converter or blast furnace gas in mixing stations. This is to adjust the calorific value of the mixture to the requirements of the subsequent consumer and to avoid discharging of valuable gases into the off gas.
  • The knowledge of the calorific value together with information about pressure and flow rate of the fuel gas enables the user to adjust a constant energy content of the mixed gas using an intelligent control system.
  • Furthermore, analysis data of the gas analysers are also used to determine the equivalent amount of oxygen that is required to run the combustion process. This results in a stoichiometric and uniform combustion and prevents soot production.

Monitoring locations

The number of monitoring points can vary depending of the degree of automation and optimisation desired by the plant operators as well as the type, quality and stability of the combustible used.

Syngas online monitoring systems

The use of advanced online monitoring systems installed in the heart of syngas processes usually requires integration into air conditioned analyser rooms or shelters to preserve the instruments from harsh plant conditions and corrosive atmospheres. The installation in an area protected from the weather also secures the data/instrument availability by providing permanent access to the analysers – if attendance is required for maintenance or diagnosis.

Systems certified for installation in explosive area (ATEX) may be required in some cases.

Reliable, accurate and application customised online monitoring systems are valuable in DRI and other syngas plants as they allow determining the quality parameters of blast furnace, coke and natural gas essential to process optimisation.

AquaGas Pty Ltd offers a broad range of portable and stationary monitoring systems specifically designed to handle syngas online monitoring requirements.

A new approach to continuous gas monitoring

The Mamos is a high quality stationary monitoring system for the measurement of up to 6 gases as well as gas temperature, ambiant and differential pressures (Gas Flow) in a large field of applications.

Designed to optimise performance/price ratio, small in size and yet very skilful analyser, the Mamos is the field proven alternative for large, intricate Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems, as it does not fall behind them concerning functionality, abilities, reliability and is far ahead in terms of expenses.

AquaGas Multigas CEMS

Online monitoring made easy

Fully automated and packed with exclusive features, the Mamos concept enlarges monitoring possibilities and respond to the today’s demands in terms of accuracy, reliability and flexibility. Each analyser is supplied with its own sampling system. The entire system is mounted on a wall mount plate and designed for installation in industrial settings and rough environment. It has a modular construction, and offer a large panel of add-ons to match site specific application requirements. The Mamos minimises the installation and ongoing operation cost until now required to fulfil your monitoring needs.

MAMOS-Multigas-analyser-CEMS-features

Multigas

Depending of the gas matrix and components to be analysed, the Mamos can be fitted with up to 6 different sensors. The combination of technologies (NDIR, TCD, PID, Electrochemical) and the addition of separate gas channels into the same instrument empower flexibility in multigas applications. A unique feature is to allocate a gas channel to sensible sensors. Its design ensures the cells have a limited exposure to gases and therefore extends considerably their respective life-time.

Process gas and emissions monitoring in combustion plants, boilers, syngas, biogas, waste recycling facilities and associated filtration systems are typical applications for multiple gas channels configuration.

In Biogas, the primary gas channel holds the CO2, CH4, Osensors while an additional separate gas channel is allocated to sensible Electrochemical sensors, H2S for example. The two NDIR gas channels can then be used for CO and VOCs.

Versatile in use

The sampling system configuration can be adapted to specific monitoring needs such as multipoint monitoring, redundancy, continuous or time set measuring cycles… When sampling from wet and hot gas, moisture content, condensates and salts are continuously removed by the use of one or several gas dryer(s) (Peltier or Nafion) equipped with built-in safety filter, condensate trap and safety inline particulate filters.

Wether it uses the built-in sampling pump or the pressure from the source, the analyser is designed to work with overpressure. Single gas channel configuration can handle overpressure up 1.8 bar.

Split /1 dryer – Cold Dry Extractive CEMS – Analyser and gas dryer are installed on separate mounting plates, each equipped with its own power supply module.  The gas dryer is installed near the sampling point therefore the analyser can be located away from the source. Once free from water vapour, the sample can be conveyed on long distances without the need for heated lines.

MAMOS-CEMS-Split Version-2

Split/2 dryers – Cold Dry Extractive CEMS – Compact configuration with an additional gas dryer installed on separate mounting plates, each equipped with its own power supply module. Two dryers in serial for high drying performances suitable for Traces monitoring in wet sample.

MAMOS-CEMS-Split Version

Twin Split – Cold Dry Multipoint CEMS – This version is based on the Twin Split/1 dryer configuration, but uses two MD3 dryer with their own power supply added on  separate mounting plates enabling measurements from two different locations (each dryer is installed near the sampling point). User programmable sampling sequences.
