From driving debugging, to control analysis, to problem solving: the daily service and maintenance work of cogeneration plants pose a wide range of measurement requirements for 2G energy companies. In these aspects, 'TA Luft' is the relevant standard cited by the company's development engineers. Independent testing agencies test the emission limits of various pollutants or combinations at fixed time intervals. In addition, 2G company regularly checks whether the factory's machines operate within the specified indicators every 2000 hours of operation.

challenge

During the start-up and commissioning process of a cogeneration plant, it is a very important task to use appropriate analyzers for long-term monitoring of the unit. In this work, the on duty debugging personnel must constantly monitor the corresponding parameters, starting with NOx and λ values. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly monitor the statutory emission limits. Previously, in 2G companies, these jobs required the use of lambda probes. But this approach is very inaccurate, and the equipment needs to be replaced every year, which brings additional costs and workload.

solution

In order to construct, debug, and maintain cogeneration plants more efficiently, 2G Energy Company has decided to use Detu's testo 350 flue gas analyzer. The smoke analyzer meets the high-level requirements of industrial emission measurement, is easy to use, accurate analysis technology, and sturdy and durable design are the most outstanding features of the instrument in daily use. Moreover, this analyzer can be equipped with up to 6 sensors. Five types of sensors are available as options, fully covering combinations of gases such as CO, NO, NO2, SO2, H2S, CxHy, or CO2.

Effectiveness and advantages

The 150 service engineers of 2G company are each equipped with a Detu testo 350 flue gas analyzer for daily maintenance and shutdown service work. Of course, the debugging engineers of this company are tasked with connecting the 2G factory to the global power grid and also use the testo 350 flue gas analyzer.

The sturdy and durable body of the testo 350 analyzer allows for easy carrying of analytical instruments on airplanes during business trips. Moreover, the R&D department of 2G company is also using the testo 350 instrument for efficiency testing. Another very important feature of the Detu testo 350 is its dilution function, which can expand the range. This allows engineers to dilute the gas to be measured at a ratio of 39:1 when conducting very high concentration measurements.

client company

2G Energy Company is located in Heek, North Rhine, Germany and is one of the manufacturers of combined heat and power (CHP) equipment primarily used for the supply of decentralized electrical and thermal energy.

Customer feedback

Due to the high level of accuracy and reliability of the Detu testo 350 flue gas analyzer, it has become the ideal choice for our analyzer. This analyzer helps us maintain the operation of the machine in an efficient and energy-saving mode. Personally, I think the sensor overview function of the testo 350 flue gas analyzer is excellent. The consumption level of sensors can be determined by observing the indicator light system. In this way, we have enough time to calibrate the instrument or replace the sensor ourselves.
