Technology and Applications

Solutions Setting New Standards in a Whole Host of Areas.

Our broad range of dust monitors and dust concentration measuring systems is suitable for both emission monitoring and process control. Well-established in all industries, SICK can fulfil all your measuring requirements whether you need a specific device or a tailor-made system solution.
Analyzers & Process Instrumentation One-Stop Measuring Solutions we provide components and all-in-one system solutions for dust measurements, gas analysis, flow rate measurements, water and liquid analysis and level measurements.

Emission Monitoring
Continuous, direct and precise our dust concentration monitors supply accurate and reliable dust loads in flue-gas and exhaust-gas ducts. This makes sure that you adhere to the permissible limit values. They fullfill the requirements of the German Clean Air Act, the 13th, 17th and 27th Impl. Ordinances as well as U.S. EPA PS 1 and GOST.

Measurement Principled
The dust concentration monitors operate according to the transmissiometer or scatter light principle. Transmissiometry When a light beam passes through a mixture of gas and particles, its intensity is attenuated by the particles as a result of absorption and scattering. The more particles in the light beam the greater the attenuation. By comparing the intensity of the initial and emerging light beams enables the accurate measurement of the transmission. By converting the transmission values into extinction values and by using a gravimetric comparative measurement, the meas. values are displayed in mg/m3. Suitable for medium and large dust concentrations and for duct diameters of up to 15 m. Scatter-light A light transmitter emits a beam of light which is scattered by the particles in the gas and is detected by a highlysensitive detector. This principle is suitable for low dust concentrations even below 1 mg/m3. The correlation between the measuring value displayed and the dust content is determined by carrying out a gravimetric comparative measurement. For scattered light measurements, back and forward scattering are used.

Process Measurement
The reliability, precision, and short response times of the dust concentration monitors significantly enhance the efficiency of open and closed-loop control circuits. Instantaneous measurements reflect the current process status even under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures or pressures.
