SO2 monitoring
SO2 monitoring
(OP)
not sure if this is the right area to post this, but here it is anyways...
SO2 analysis in stack emitions....is there a standard for cal gas factor. say your emitions are typically at 100 ppm, should your cal gas be say 100ppm x 10 = 1000ppm. It has been deemed that we should have a cal gas closer to operating point, but I don't want to got to low, or we risk loosing accuracy on upsets. I supose another option is checking to see if we can set up for 3 point cal instead of 2 point.
anyways, I didn't really know if there was an actual guideline, or if I should perhaps get in touch with the manufacturer.
thanks, Glowing

RE: SO2 monitoring
I believe this would be best posted to the chemical process engineering forum. As a nuke, I seldom deal with sodium dioxide emissions (don't those usually come from coal plants?)
