The continuous particulate emission monitor and baghouse leak detector incorporates automatic self-checks and signal diagnostics to improve performance and to eliminate manual calibration audits as required by the US-EPA for MACT and CAM regulations of fabric filter dust collectors. The addition of smart sensing technology to the company’s field-proven induction-sensing and protected-probe technologies is also 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.
