Abstract Information :
As time passes, more and more industrial processes in India are being required to continuously
monitor particulate emissions from both primary (main stack) and secondary filters (Baghouses,
Cyclones, ESP's etc).
The ongoing requirements of the 17 Industries Programme for the continuous monitoring of both
gas and particulate emissions has led to a wide choice of instruments being introduced to the Indian
market offering both different monitoring techniques and type approvals.
This presentation will provide an overview of factors which should be considered when specifying
and selecting continuous PM CEMS to allow users the widest choice of appropriate technology
choice when selecting an instrument. As no one technology is suitable for all applications, this
paper, using real world examples, will provide an unbiased overview of what should be considered
by end users and integrators when selecting instrumentation to monitor particulate emissions from
chimney stacks. Technology types reviewed in this paper will include both traditional Opacity and
Dynamic Opacity cross stack optical techniques, Laser scatter systems including Forward and
Backscatter technologies, extractive monitoring for Wet Stacks and Probe Electrification methods
Areas covered will include what process data should be considered to ensure the correct technology
selection including process filter type, limitations in choice caused by stack configuration and
process conditions. In addition, the most appropriate installation points together with potential
maintenance considerations, cost of ownership and calibration will be reviewed. Consideration of
appropriate type approvals (MCERTS, UBA, and US EPA) will also be discussed.
