NEW COMBUSTION FLUE GAS ANALYSER

Emerson (UK) today announce the release of the latest solution for combustion flue gas analysis, the Rosemount Analytical Model 6888 in situ oxygen analyser. The Model 6888 provides accurate measurement of the oxygen remaining in the flue gases coming from combustion processes such as boilers, incinerators, kilns, process heaters, and industrial heating furnaces. By maintaining the ideal level of oxygen in the flue gases, optimal efficiency is achieved and the lowest levels of NOX, CO and CO2 are produced.

The in situ design of the Model 6888 places a zirconium oxide sensing element at the end of a probe which can be inserted directly into a flue gas stream. Probe lengths are available from 18 inches to 12 feet, and a slip mounting option provides the ability to mount a long probe at any insertion depth. Signal conditioning electronics reside in the head of each probe, eliminating the need for expensive signal cable.

The Model 6888 is fully field-repairable. All active components can be replaced including the diffuser/filter, sensing cell, heater and thermocouple, and all electronics cards. A dual-channel operator interface unit provides an easy-to-use method of set-up, calibration and failure diagnostics.

“As the needs and compliance demands for flue gas analysis become greater, we are making our Rosemount Analytical instruments more and more accurate and easy-to-use to meet our customers’ requirements,” stated Dave Anderson, marketing director, Emerson Process Management, Rosemount Analytical.

Anderson added, “The Model 6888 is a real breakthrough in what has traditionally been an old-line technology. It promises real savings in time and resources for users, as well as a way to achieve compliance with federal and state regulations.”
