Determination of TOC in stacks

What are the international regulations?

www.pollution.it


European Standards and EPA Standard • EN 12619:2013 Determination of the mass concentration of total gaseous organic carbon. Continuous flame ionisation detector method

• US EPA Method 25A Determination of Total Gaseous Organic Concentration using a Flame Ionization Analyser

• ISO 25140:2010 Stationary source emissions - Automatic method for the determination of the methane concentration using flame ionisation detection (FID)

• EN 15267-3 Performance criteria and test procedures for automated measuring systems for monitoring emissions from stationary sources

• EN 15267-4 Performance criteria and test procedures for automated measuring systems for periodic measurements of emissions from stationary sources


Guidelines for Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems, July 2017

CENTRAL POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD (Delhi)

Parameters required to be monitored in the stack emissions using Continuous Emission Monitoring system

• ------ • ------ • TOC (Total Organic Carbon) / THC (Total Hydro Carbon) / VOC (Volatile Organic

Carbon) CnHm (emission limit of 10mg/Nm3 for cement plant and 20mg/Nm3 for Hazardous Waste Incinerator)

The USEPA, TUV or MCERTS certified analysers for emissions alone are recognised for use as CEMS.


Current approach and methodology for TOC monitoring for periodic

measurements of emissions from stationary sources

Current approach and methodology for TOC monitoring


The miniaturization is a great advantage in terms of:

• Timesaver • Money saving • Sparing effort and personnel • Safety

New approach and ‘‘modus operandi’’ for TOC monitoring


• Using HYDROGEN STORAGE CARTRIDGE instead of Hydrogen cylinder safe and does not require pressure regulator It can be transported by car and by plane without

any restriction

• Using Zero Air and Span Gas integrated into the chassis No needs to carry external pressurized cylinders Each integrated bottle weigh less than 200gr

• Using Rechargeable battery operations Best for portability (only 13 Kg with batteries) keep it switched-on and heated while moving from

chimney to chimney

• The overall miniaturization assures fast heating

During every measurement the instrument performs the zeroing

deleting the background VOC noise.

The increasing VOC amount contained in the combustion air

(ambient air) does not effect the measurement of the sample

because every measurement is compared with zero air gas.

Stored in a special disposable

canister with few hundreds

grams allows continuous

analysis for 10 hours

Innovative feature with ZERO AIR


HYDROGEN Cartridge (Fuel): HANDY AND SAFE Less than 0.5Kg with a metal hydride technology works for 24

hours

Contains hydrogen in atmospheric pressure. No needs of pressure regulator

It‘s very safe because even if it falls it does not cause any risk to the user

can be transported by car and by plane without any restriction also fully charged

Swagelok connection with quick coupling

Can be charged with hydrogen generator or cylinder pressure

Innovative Features


Bluetooth connectivity • Real time data logger • Graph drawing • Export data to spreadsheet • Print customised report


Why use POLARIS? POLARIS is easy-to-use on top of chimneys: lightweight, compact, ergonomic

POLARIS is completely safe: it uses a new integrated Hydrogen cartridge and Zero

Air and Span Gas disposable bottles.

POLARIS FID is a quick and plug&play device: backup batteries keep it switched-on

and heated while moving from chimney to chimney

POLARIS FID includes a smart internal data-logger with USB port for quick data

transfer and processing

POLARIS FID is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for wireless computer

connection

POLARIS FID can be equipped with a full range of accessories: probes, sample

lines, a unique docking station for Methane/non-methane analysis, recharging

hydrogen interface, spare gas cylinders...

POLARIS FID is certified for stack emissions analysis as per EN12619 and EN13526


Conclusions

The use of portable instruments facilitates and simplifies the operators’ work making the job easier and safer

The reduction of weight and dimensions also reduces costs because operators can perform multiple measurements
