A combustion analyzer for emissions monitoring
The Thermox WDG-V HP series (photo) is a set of next-generation high-particulate combustion analyzers. The series can be used to measure excess oxygen, combustible materials and hydrocarbons in industrial applications, including cement and lime kilns, power boilers, incinerators and others. The Thermox WDG-V HP builds on the company’s WDG platform, but adds predictive artificial-intelligence diagnostics and design redundancies that increase reliability and worker safety. The analyzer is certified for use in hazardous areas (ATEX/IEC Ex Zone IIC T3 globally and Class I, Div. 2 in North America). The new series adds the capability of measuring hydrocarbons, including methane and other alternative fuels, such as methanol and hydrogen, at percent levels as a standard feature. This allows monitoring for excess fuel and loss of flame during startup and normal operation. There is also a more serviceable and robust enclosure, ensuring superior ingress protection and easier access to the probe and filter. — Ametek Process Instruments, Berwyn, Pa.
