Background
With the depletion of coal resources and the increasing focus on refined coal processing, coal remains crucial in modern industries due to advances in technologies such as coal chemical processing, coal-to-gas, coal-to-liquid, and pulverized coal boilers. Despite these advancements, large thermal power plants still predominantly use pulverized coal boilers and spraying techniques to enhance coal efficiency. However, the coal pulverization process can lead to risks of combustion or explosions due to sparks and self-ignition. Monitoring indicators like CO (200 ppm) and O2 (12%) is vital for preventing explosions within pulverized coal mills.
Gas analyzers play a key role in continuous monitoring of CO and O2 concentrations at the pulverizer outlet or in coal dust silos, ensuring both production and personnel safety. Effective industrial gas monitoring is critical for chemical plants to prevent accidents and safeguard workers, while also enhancing overall production safety and control capabilities.
In industries like steelmaking, where processes involve flammable and inert gases, analyzing gas concentrations helps optimize production, ensure safety, and support energy recovery and environmental protection. Industrial gas analyzers are essential for various industrial applications, providing continuous measurement of gases such as CO, O2, and CO2 to maintain safety and efficiency across different operational conditions.

Solution - Monitoring Technology
Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy
Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) is a technique based on the Beer-Lambert law for gas absorption. This technology leverages the narrow linewidth of tunable semiconductor lasers and their wavelength shift in response to varying injection currents. By modulating the laser's wavelength to emit specific ranges of detection wavelengths, TDLAS enables the measurement of gas concentrations through the absorption of these modulated detection lasers by gas molecules. This advanced method provides highly accurate and sensitive gas concentration measurements, making it ideal for various industrial applications such as environmental monitoring, process control, and emissions analysis.
Non-Dispersive InfraRed
Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Technology is a method based on the Beer-Lambert law for gas absorption. This technology utilizes an infrared light source that emits infrared radiation. As this radiation passes through a gas sample of known concentration, the intensity of the absorbed spectrum changes proportionally to the gas concentration. By measuring the variation in spectral intensity, the concentration of the target gas can be accurately inferred. NDIR gas analyzers are widely used in various industrial applications such as emissions monitoring, air quality analysis, and process control. This technique is valued for its reliability and precision in measuring gas concentrations, aligning with current technical trends in environmental monitoring and industrial process optimization.

Greenhouse Gas Monitoring
To achieve more accurate carbon emission data, greenhouse gases such as CO2 need to be precisely monitored, just like pollutants such as PM2.5. In soil ecosystems, carbon elements are primarily cycled through soil respiration, making accurate monitoring of CO2 emissions during soil respiration crucial for evaluating carbon sequestration processes in ecosystems.
In line with the national "dual carbon" strategy, gas analyzers are essential for the greenhouse gas monitoring sector. These analyzers can continuously measure concentrations of greenhouse gases including CO, CO2, CH4, N2O, and H2O. Utilizing a direct extraction method combined with a dust filtration and water removal pre-treatment system, these analyzers offer high measurement accuracy, fast response times, strong anti-interference capabilities, and long service life.
