The General Problem Sample conditioning receives little attention, Gas analysis for Emissions or Process Monitoring involves three steps: 1. Sampling 2. Conditioning 3. Analysis Samples are typically: Hot Wet Dirty Analyzers require samples to be: Cool Dry Clean Sample conditioning receives little attention, but is often the most difficult step of the three. 2040-003
Sampling Methods In-situ analysis 2. Extraction a. Wet (filtered only) b. Dilution c. Drying 1) Absorption 2) Condensation 3) Selective permeation 2040-004
Typical Problems in Gas Samples Gases Rarely a problem Liquids Water Acid mists (sulfuric acid) Solids Ammonia salts Excessive particulates 2040-005
Water Problems Clogging or damage to analyzers or components Requirement for heated lines or analyzers Long calibration times due to adsorption/desorption Interference in infrared (or other) measurements Loss of water-soluble analytes Participation in unwanted chemical reactions 2040-006

Unwanted Reactions 1. Formation of Sulfuric Acid a. 2SO2 + O2 2SO3 SO3 + H2O H2SO4 b. NO2 + SO2 + H2O H2SO4 + NO 2. Formation of Ammonia Salts a. NH3 + SO2 + H2O NH4HSO3 b. NH3 + SO3 + H2O NH4HSO4 2040-009
Acid Mist Problems Mists are very corrosive, viscous, clogging Difficult to remove; slow to coalesce into sizeable droplets when cooled Special coalescing filters helpful 2040-010
Ammonia Salts Problems Present special problems Ammonia is gas, passes through probe filter Forms clogs if allowed to cool, react with SO2 or SO3 and H2O to form ammonium salts Requires special absorbents to remove ammonia before cooling to prevent clogs 2040-011
Excessive Particulates Easiest to solve Probe filter with heated blowback Secondary filter with finer porosity Inertial bypass filters if necessary 2040-012
