Presentation
- Wet Gas Measurement in CEMS
– Engineering Considerations for Reliable Compliance & Process Integrity
- Wet gas measurement presents unique challenges in Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS), particularly in applications involving high moisture content, low concentration detection, and variable process conditions. Improper sample handling can result in condensation losses, inaccurate readings, corrosion, analyzer drift, and non-compliance risks.
This presentation will focus on:
- Challenges of wet gas measurement in industrial stacks and process vents
- Heated probe and heated sample line design considerations
- Moisture management strategies (hot/wet vs extractive dry basis)
- Analyzer technology selection (NDIR & TDL)
- Regulatory considerations (Ontario MECP / Environment Canada alignment)
- Integration considerations: shelters, SCS heating philosophy, and long-term maintainability
The session will provide practical insights drawn from real field integration experience in Canadian industrial facilities, highlighting engineering decisions that directly impact measurement accuracy, reliability, and lifecycle cost.
