SICK GM35 In-Situ Gas Analyser (Gas Measurement for Combustion & Dehydration Processes)
In-Situ Gas Analysers
SICK GM35
The SICK GM35 in-situ gas analyser provides efficient control of combustion and drying processes – the gas analyser is made up of a sender/receiver unit, open measuring probe, gas-testable measuring probe and the cross-duct version also has a reflector unit.
The GM35 gas analyser measures CO2, H2O and CO, or N2O, as well as temperature and pressure quickly, reliably and economically.
As an in-situ gas analyser, the SICK GM35 detects gas components directly from the gas stream without the need for gas sampling. SICK gas detection equipment offers reliability, precision and a short response time for efficient control loops in all CO or CO2 generating processes.
SICK GM35 Gas Analyser – Features
- Dynamic humidity correction
- Fast in-situ measurement directly in the process
- Simultaneous determination of up to three gas components, temperature, and pressure
- No gas sampling and conditioning
- Gas testable version of measuring probe available
- Integrated self-test and control functions
GM35 In-Situ Gas Analyser Applications
- Gas emission monitoring to EN 14181, e.g. power or cement plants
- Control of the water injection upstream of the electrostatic precipitator
- Monitoring of the combustion efficiency in hazardous waste incineration
- Process monitoring in urea production
- Tube rupture detection in heat exchangers
BS EN 14181 specifies procedures for establishing quality assurance levels (QAL) for automated measuring systems (AMS) installed on industrial plants for the determination of the flue gas components and other flue gas parameters.
