The effectiveness of the catalyst is measured by the CH4 content. Less than 0.5% is an indication of properly functioning catalyst. Higher concentrations indicate the necessity for either conditioning or replacement. |
Measuring the level of CO in the carrier gas allows for correction of the % Carbon reading at the furnace. |
Furnace atmosphere Carbon potential (% C) can be verified with the PGA 3510 |
Measuring Carbon Monoxide (CO) allows for adjustment of the COF/PF parameters to fine tune the % Carbon calculation in the furnace |
Measuring Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) can show possible problems (i.e. sooting, water leaks, air leaks, and radiant tube leaks) |
Too much free Methane (CH4) could be an early indication of a furnace problem |
The carbon monoxide (CO) level in the furnace atmosphere indicates the effectiveness of the cracking of the methanol. Equilibrium of this reaction CH3OH –> CO + 2H2 is temperature dependent |
