EMS-10 FTIR Continuous Emissions Monitoring System Overview

The Thermo Scientific EMS-10 Continuous Emissions Monitoring System is a fully automated four-channel stack emission monitoring system designed specifically for hot wet samples. The EMS-10 system can quantify 10-100+ compounds down to single digit ppb while maintaining short cycle times, using advanced FTIR spectral analysis and Thermo Scientific StarBoost Technology. This makes the EMS-10 an ideal alternative to traditional gas chromatograph-based systems that are typically slower, less sensitive, and more costly to maintain.
 
The EMS-10 is designed to operate as a continuous emissions monitor with little to no user interaction, complete with dynamic alarming functionality, user-definable sequencing that can vary by time of day, remote monitoring, and standard data publishing and reporting. Several enclosure options are available depending on specific needs to enable a factory-ready solution.
 
The integrated design incorporates complete control of all gases, including the sample stream, zero gas and calibration gas, with software from the large front panel touchscreen or keyboard. This system is ideal whenever and wherever gas streams must be analyzed for composition, impurities, and hazardous air pollutants.
 
EMS-10 Continuous Emission Monitoring System Features

• Designed specifically for hot and wet samples.
• Thermo Scientific™ MAX-iR™ FTIR gas analyzer, allowing acquisition of the full mid-IR spectrum and quantification of nearly any organic or inorganic compound down to 10s of ppb in normal configuration and down to single digit ppb using Thermo Scientific StarBoost Technology.
• Integrated design with heated automated sample multiplexer, industrial computer, and flexible I/O interface for easy factory integration.
• Near real-time channel analysis using a 4-port multiplexer that incorporates sampling and bypass pumps to allow for continuous sample flow on all channels, a programmable logic controller (PLC), and touchscreen human-machine interface (HMI).
• All sample, calibration gas, and nitrogen connections aligned on the rear of the system for quick coupling.
• Additional cabinet space for user integration of heated line controllers
• Designed to operate for 10+ years with minimal maintenance, the system’s FTIR analyzer is factory calibrated and operates continuously for its useful life without recalibration. If necessary, the system can accept calibration cylinders for auto-certification purposes (QA/QC) or generate new calibrations for new analytes.
• User-friendly Thermo Scientific™ MAX-Acquisition™ Automation Software with a flexible Workflow function in the software directs each device within the system on a time basis.
• Standard Modbus™ and optional digital/analog data publishing are available for seamless factory integration to existing infrastructure.
