Filter leak detector
Continuous particulate emission monitor and baghouse filter leak detector incorporate Automatic Self Checks (Zero and Span) to automate EPA MACT requirements for periodic instrument validation (Fig.).
Particulate Monitor also features Automatic Signal Diagnostics to improve performance and simplify setup. These features add to the company’s field-proven induction-sensing and protected-probe technologies which are said to provide enhanced reliability over older opacity and triboelectic technologies particularly in difficult applications such as coal, steel, cement, carbon black, lead smelters, chemical plants and pharmaceutical spray dryers. Benefits include stack monitoring, detecting filter leaks for maintenance, eliminating cleanup costs, preventing the escape of valuable powders and protecting downstream equipment such as blowers and HEPA filters.
