Abstract:
An emission detection system an enclosed combustion device stack is disclosed. The detection system has a sampling line having a first end exposed to a combusted gas passing through the stack exit port, to receive an undiluted gas sample from the stack exit port. The detection system has an electrostatic particulate matter sensor coupled to a second end of the sampling line, the second end positioned lower than and downstream of the first end, to analyze the undiluted gas sample. The detection system has an exhaust outlet coupled to and downstream of the electrostatic particulate matter sensor, to receive the undiluted gas sample from the electrostatic particulate matter sensor and feed the undiluted gas sample to the primary gas intake line upstream of the enclosed combustion device stack burner.

Claim (Index 7):
A method of retrofitting an enclosed combustion device stack with an emissions detection system, the enclosed combustion device stack having a lower portion with an enclosed combustion device stack burner and a primary gas intake line, and an upper portion with a stack exit port, the method comprising:\n exposing a first end of a sampling line to combusted gas passing through the stack exit port, the sampling line configured to receive an undiluted gas sample from the stack exit port: positioning a second end of the sampling line lower than the first end; coupling an electrostatic particulate matter sensor to the second end of the sampling line, the second end downstream of the first end, the electrostatic particulate matter sensor positioned and configured to analyze the undiluted gas sample; coupling a first end of an exhaust outlet to and downstream of the electrostatic particulate matter sensor, the exhaust outlet port configured to receive the undiluted gas sample from the electrostatic particulate matter sensor; coupling a second end of the exhaust outlet to the primary gas intake line upstream of the enclosed combustion device stack burner; and feeding the undiluted gas sample to the primary gas intake line.
