Effluents generally contain high levels of water, sulfur dioxide, and fine particulate matter.
Since CO is slightly soluble in water, any condensation in the lines would result in a loss of sample. Now, once the water was removed from the effluent, an ambient temperature line can be run from the conditioning system to the analyzer housing. A schematic representation of the analyzer configuration is shown in Fig. 1. A photo of the analyzer in the Control Room is shown in Fig. 2. After a review of the application and columns available, we chose carbosphere as a packing in order to separate methane, CO and CO 2 .
