Abstract Information :
ADAGE AUTOMATION is one of the Leaders in India for Gas Analytical Market domain and was established in 2001 in Mumbai. It is presently Head Quartered in Goa with 12 own offices across India and with overseas operations in UAE and USA. Adage has 2 factories in Goa and the new one inaugurated in August 2022 is the World’s Largest Analytical SI facility. Systems Integration - what does that mean, what is it good for, do I need that? Any online analysis consists of more than just the analyzer(s), regardless if it is for environmental & legislative purpose like Air Quality Monitoring (AQM) and Emission Monitoring (CEMS) or for Process Monitoring. At least a suitable sampling system consisting of sample probes, sample transport, and sample conditioning has to be added to the analyzers. Does that really make it a System? Not Yet!! Also the integration of all individual components into one combined cabinet with the internal tubing & cables is required for centralized control, joint zero/span validation, and ease of maintenance is required – that’s finally turns all components into a system. The Solution Provider, like ADAGE AUTOMATION, must be capable of understanding not only the requirements of the individual analyzers, but, more important, the physical and chemical properties of the process or sample gas and the possible secondary chemical reactions between individual sample components. The Systems Integration company should certainly be knowledgeable about the technical details of the various analysis technologies used in the different analyzers offered on the market and have a complete design and engineering capability. Then only they can select and suggest the most suitable solution for the customer’s specific application. ADAGE AUTOMATION is a specialist Gas Analytical company, delivering integrated and engineered solutions to the Large & Mid-size Industries for Process Optimization, Safety & Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEMS) and Ambient Air Quality (AAQMS) applications. The Core Team consists of people who have worked in senior positions within the Indian Gas Analytical & Instrumentation Industry domain. The family of Adage has the right blend of youth and experience. The vision of the company is not to achieve a particular sales target …… it is rather to achieve the highest level of customer confidence on Adage's capability. Adage offers complete project management services from conceptual design through pre-tender feed study, design approval, detailed engineering, project management, procurement activities, production, testing and commissioning, site survey, site installation, handing over as well as after sales service and training. ADAGE AUTOMATION also offers a 24/7 technical helpline and call out facility to many of their customers. In most slides the presentation will explore into the challenges and technical details of Systems Integration for AQM, CEMS, and Process Systems. Detailed challenges for various applications to be solved by the two types of extractive sample handling and sample conditioning systems (direct and dilution-based) will be explained. The same goes for the different detection technologies of instrumentation offered, be it extractive analyzers or in-situ technology. Details of integration of various analyzers into one system will be discussed, as well as the dos and don’ts of sample routing and conditioning, zero/span validation, and systems cabinet design.
