Combustion processes are an integral operation in refineries, petrochemical, chemical, and power plants across the globe. Rising fuel costs and increasing competition are driving plants to adopt new techniques for measuring combustible gases with the goal of optimizing their combustion processes. Leading the pack is tunable diode laser (TDL) technology.
This white paper explains how the new generation of TDLs not only offers exceptional fuel costs savings, but eliminates the need for process side purge gas.
TDLs are highly suitable for combustion processes due to their precision and accuracy in measuring critical gases such as carbon monoxide and oxygen. They offer rapid response times, typically under 2 seconds, enabling real-time monitoring that helps maintain optimal combustion conditions and enhance safety. Additionally, TDLs require minimal maintenance and have a long sensor lifespan of over 10 years, reducing operational costs and downtime.
The latest generation of TDLs eliminates the need for process-side purge gas by utilizing non-purged filters, which simplifies installation and lowers long-term costs. Furthermore, TDLs are resistant to sensor poisoning, making them more reliable in harsh environments. Their versatile installation capabilities allow for integration into a wide range of applications, making TDL technology an excellent choice for enhancing efficiency and safety in combustion applications across refineries and petrochemical plants.
