Servomex has the revolutionary gas analysis solution you need for real-time safety monitoring in combustion applications. Our SERVOTOUGH Laser 3 Plus Combustion analyzer can be configured to measure both carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH₄) with a single device, providing the detailed data and analysis required for boiler condition monitoring.
Monitoring CO levels is a key factor in optimizing combustion efficiency. In addition, a fuel-rich environment contains high levels of both CO and CH₄. This is a constant risk and potential source of explosion, so has moved CH₄ analysis from a largely ignored measurement to make carbon monoxide and methane analysis an essential safety monitoring requirement.
Low-NOx burners are highly effective at reducing unwanted emissions, but run a cooler, larger, more complex flame that is less stable than older burners. This flame instability has led to the need to improve flame-out detection. Changes to the ambient conditions, fuel composition, or pressure regulation can snuff out the flame or alter its profile to become heavily fuel-rich. A carbon monoxide and methane analyzer, measuring across the process, will detect any pockets of methane before it can flood through the process, allowing immediate corrective action.
Unlike point-measurement techniques, cross-stack Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) gas analyzers take an average measurement across the process. This allows a carbon monoxide and methane analyzer using this sensing technology to pick up any flame-out situation quickly. TDL is highly specific to the compound being measured and, as a light-based measurement with no sample extraction, provides a very fast response to changes in the boiler condition – usually within a few seconds.
Servomex’s SERVOTOUGH Laser 3 Plus Combustion analyzer can be optimized for the fast, accurate, and responsive measurement of CO+CH₄. Using non-contact TDL sensing technology, it provides fast-response carbon monoxide and methane gas analysis, giving operators more time to take corrective action if boiler conditions change.
Containing all the benefits of Servomex’s TDL technology, in a light, compact unit, with unmatched installation flexibility plus cost and performance benefits, the SERVOTOUGH Laser 3 Plus Combustion is ready for accurate, fast-response measurements in combustion and process control, making it a must for safety applications.
Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) technology offers a fast-response, accurate measurement that is highly specific to the gas of interest. This non-contact, non-depleting sensing is used in our innovative, compact SERVOTOUGH Laser 3 Plus range of analyzers.
