The PCME STACKFLOW 400 provides high quality and reliable continuous Flow Rate monitoring for industrial stacks for process control, regulatory flow rate and mass emission reporting (kg/year). The instrument is an ultrasonic probe which utilises PCME’s unique FlueSonicTM technology and mathematical measurement algorithm (patent pending).
The PCME STACKFLOW 400 provides a complete solution for flow measurement according to EN 14181 and EN 16911-2.
Key Features
PCME STACKFLOW 400 Sensor
- Certification: QAL1 approved to EN 16911-2 and EN 15267-3
- Representative measurement: Extended probe design with measurement path of 400mm on the end of a 1.4m probe and adjustable flange for fine tuning to where flow profile is more representative
- FLUESONICTM higher accuracy: Unique FlueSonicTM technology giving higher accuracy over flue gas velocities 0-50 m/s and flue gas temperatures -20oC to 200oC
- Tolerant to contamination: Air purge not required to prevent dust contamination with flue gas above dewpoint or dust ‹ 1000 mg/m3
- Multi-sensor networked system: The system can be configured as a large multi-sensor networked system (up to 16 sensors) for multi-stack and plant-wide monitoring
- Easy integration to existing CEMS: The sensor can be easily fitted to existing gas and dust monitoring systems. Mass emission monitoring and calculation of particulate releases (when combined with PCME MultiController and dust monitor or plant PLC/SCADA) systems
- Easy installation: Single stack mounting flange without the need for additional stack access at different levels or installation of cross-stack ultrasonic instruments. The angled probe version can be supplied to fit existing perpendicular ports without the need to fit new angled port and standoff.
