Approved Site Application

Any potential user should ensure, in consultation with the manufacturer, that the monitoring system
is suitable for the intended application. For general guidance on stack emission monitoring
techniques refer to Environment Agency Technical Guidance Note M2: Monitoring of stack emissions
to air. Operators with installations falling under the Large Combustion Plant Directive or Waste
Incineration Directive must refer to Technical Guidance Note M20: Quality Assurance of Continuous
Emission Monitoring Systems, for guidance on the suitability of CEMS for their installations. M2 and
M20 are available on the Agency’s website at www.mcerts.net

On the basis of the assessment and the ranges required for compliance with EU Directives this
instrument is considered suitable for use on waste incineration and large coal-fired combustion plant
applications (See Note 1). This CEM has been proven suitable for its measuring task (parameter
and composition of the flue gas) by use of the QAL 1 procedure specified in EN14181, for LCPD and
WID applications for the ranges specified. The lowest certified range for each determinand shall not
be more than 1.5X the emission limit value (ELV) for WID applications, and not more than 2.5X the
ELV for LCPD and other types of application.

The field trial was conducted over 3 months with the Ultramat 23 installed on a coal fired power
station. It was conducted for an additional 3 months on a waste incinerator, for the NO range 0-100
mg/m3.

Zero and Span drift requirement Statement from manufacturer:

The zero point is created by purging the measuring
cell with an IR-inactive gas (e.g. N2). The resulting
spectrum corresponds to measurement on a gas free
measurement path. The detector then generates the
largest signal U0 (no pre-absorption in the sample
chamber). This signal is used as the reference signal
for zero point calibration. The relevant measured Clause
concentration values are determined by means of the 6.13 & 10.13
instrument's calibration function.
Manufacturer
The zero point signal also serves as the initial value shall provide a
for calculating the full-scale span value in the manner description of
shown below: the technique to
determine and
As the concentration of measured component compensate for
increases, so too does absorption in the sample zero and span
chamber. As a result of this pre-absorption, the drift.
detectable radiation energy in the detector decreases,
and thus also the signal voltage. For the single-beam
procedure of the ULTRAMAT 23, the mathematical
relationship between the concentration of the
measured component and the measured voltage can
be approximately expressed as the following
exponential function:

 Description

The ULTRAMAT 23 gas analyser is based on the absorption of non-dispersive infrared radiation
(NDIR). The attenuation in the radiation that depends on the wavelength is a measure of the
respective concentration of the gas. The analyser measures O2 with an electrochemical measuring
cell.

The ULTRAMAT 23 gas analyser can measure up to 4 gas components simultaneously, three being
infrared sensitive gases such as CO, NO, or SO2 and the other O2. The ULTRAMAT 23 is a 19-inch
rack mounted system.

The manufacturer states that as the oxygen sensor is an acetic acid cell this should minimise the
effect of acid from the flue gas.

This instrument is MCERTS certified for calibration using autocal with ambient air only, every 6 hours
and a full calibration check with test gases required only once per year. The Autocal system uses
ambient air (or N2 for analysers without an oxygen sensor); both the zero and the span are calibrated
in the process.

Auto or manual range changing between two ranges is available over a maximum ratio of 5:1
between maximum and minimum ranges. Two alarm limits can be freely configured for each
component, for upward or downward violation. There is also a maintenance request alert.

Up to four electrically isolated analogue outputs are available as standard. A PROFIBUS version is
available as an option.
