This loop-powered particulate matter transmitter (photo) provides simple two-wire installation and interface with the company’s B-PAC baghouse optimization controllers or existing plant control systems. The transmitter exceeds the EPA MACT standard for baghouse and dust collector leak detection. Employing field-proven induction-sensing and protected-probe technologies, these particulate matter transmitters are said to offer increased reliability over traditional triboelectric and opacity products. The combination of induction sensing and a protected probe provide high reliability even in difficult applications such as fly ash from coal, carbon black, chemicals, smelters and spray dryers. General benefits include detecting emissions before they are visible, eliminating cleanup costs, preventing the escape of valuable powders and protecting downstream equipment. — FilterSense, Beverley, Mass.
