CEMS Technologies: Dilution Extractive Dilution Extractive

There are two main types of CEMS systems described - full extractive and dilution extractive. The full extractive system continuously draws a sample through a heated filter and sample line to a condenser which removes moisture before sending the dry gas to individual analyzers. The dilution extractive system dilutes the sample gas with dry air to reduce condensation problems without using a condenser, and analyzes the diluted sample at near-ambient concentration ranges. Advantages and disadvantages of each system are provided.

CEMS Technologies

Full Extractive System


A sample is continuously drawn from the gas stream through a heated filter head, which
removes particulate, sent through a heated sample line to a condenser. The condenser
removes moisture from the sample by lowering the gas dew-point. The dry gas is then sent to
individual analyzers to be evaluated.

Dilution Extractive System


Dilution-extractive systems are extractive systems that dilute the sample gas with dry contaminationfree dilution air to a level below the dew point of the diluted flue gas to eliminate condensation
problems in the CEM system (in lieu of using a moisture condenser).
The diluted sample is analyzed by pollutant and CO monitors operating at or near ambient
2

concentration ranges.

Advantages

Disadvantages

Clean sample sent to


analyzer rack

Subject to CO2 interference in


sonic orifice

Heated sample line not


needed due to low gas
dew point

More labor intensive to perform insitu probe maintenance


(depending on length of sample
probe)

No sample gas
conditioner eliminates
component that may fail

Requires high quality instrument


air to have no trace levels of
gases being analyzed.

Samples SO2 very well


because there is no
moisture interference

More difficult to troubleshoot

Exhaust from left over


sample is at ambient
concentrations

O2 must be measured on separate


system

Fast response time

Subject to temperature swings in


process which can affect dilution
ratio

Uses less calibration gas

Probe and umbilical need


to be heated above sample

Can sample to very low levels


with minimal interference

Exhaust from left over


sample contains full
