The theory and application of gas analysers - 2 days
This course is for engineers who will be involved in specifying
gas analysers and evaluating tenders. It covers:
- Types of gas analysers
- Theory of the measurement techniques
- Performance and accuracy
- Effects of process conditions on performance
- Environmental effects
- Basics of sample conditioning system
- Advantages and disadvantages of different installations, eg extractive v. in-situ
- Calibration requirements
- On-going cost of ownership v. initial cost
Installation and use of gas analysers - 2 days
This course if for those involved with the installation and
maintenance of gas analysers. The course concentrates on the
practical aspects of using gas analysers. It covers:
- The topics in the course on the theory and application of gas analysers but at a lower technical
level
- Calibration techniques
- Evaluating errors in gas analysers
- Problems with sample conditioning systems
- Characteristics of drift
- Common problems which lead to a degradation in performance
Participants are encouraged to bring to the course any
particular problems they may have on the application of analysers
for group discussion.
Developments in gas analysis - 1 day
This course is for those familiar with gas analysers but wish
to understand the newer techniques which are becoming available,
for example FTIR and scanning analyser using diode arrays. It also
includes an up-date on developments using existing technologies.
MCERTS Personnel Competency Standard
Manual Stack Emission
Monitoring
In association with the Source
Testing Association we can offer a course for Technical
Endorsement 4 (Gases/Vapours by instrumental techniques) to
prepare candidates for the UK's Environment Agency examination.
Participant requirements
Participants for these courses should have good technical
background and be familiar with the use of instrumentation on
process plants.
