Global warming, acid rain, air, water and soil contamination are all environmental issues that must be managed. Governmental and environmental pressure to monitor and reduce pollutants introduced into the environment will continue to increase. ABB’s emissions monitoring solutions have helped a wide variety of industries for over 50 years. The Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) are designed to help customers maximise profit while operating in a sustainable way through technology and expertise. ABB CEM solutions provide compliance with international, national and local environmental directives for measuring and reporting.
ABB CEM analysers and systems are offered using various and combinations of technologies, such as; Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and Zirconium/paramagnetic/electrochemical Oxygen and FID for VOCs. All ABB extractive CEM stand-alone analysers and integrated systems can optionally be supplied with complete application based ABB sample handling systems that close the loop to ensure compatibility with environmental legislation. Benefits include:
• Fully certified analyser system which accurately monitors the hot/wet composition of exhaust gases.
• A completely pre-engineered modular analyser system made for easy operation. QAL3 automatic span drift check without test gas optionally available (cost effective option when hot wet values are not required to be measured).
• Advance Optima/Easyline ranges are fully certified analysers that accurately monitor the dry base composition of exhaust gases. Individual analysers measuring up to six application based component values can be engineered according to plant/customer requirements.
ACF series
ABB’s ACF series with more than 1500 installations worldwide make this one of the most referenced and reliable solutions globally in terms of emission control. ACF is therefore an environmental monitoring system of the highest quality. It can rightly be called state-of-the-art as it has demonstrated in the field its safety features, stability, compliance with industry legislative standards and ability to detect gases at low concentration.
The analysers offer measurement of up to 15 gas components making use of the hot/wet extractive method of measurement. Powerful FTIR technology is used in conjunction with proven FID and ZrO2 sensors to measure all components including the unburned hydrocarbons and the oxygen content from a single sample from one sample point. It is a pre-engineered system with a compact and modular design. Communication, control and maintenance via fieldbus and Ethernet/TCP or modem are all available separately or combined if multiple methods are required.
ACX series
ACX series is a complete cold extractive CEM Solution. It is a pre-engineered system solution for continuous gas analysis, including everything from probe, sample lines and sample conditioning to reliable and certified analysers of the Advance Optima series. The system can be operated from a keypad and display in the front door without opening the shelter. The system is available with various options to be tailored to your measuring tasks; it is especially designed for easy service and maintenance.
ACX is suitable for up to six measurable values – typically NO, NO2, N2O, NH3, SO2, CO, CO2, CH4, and O,2 – ACX integrated systems can be used for power generation boiler stack CEM and many other measuring points on power plants.
Advance Optima series
Advance Optima modular gas analysers combine advanced technologies with more than 75 years of experience in process and environmental gas analysis. They are the innovative solution for the demands of today and the challenges of tomorrow. The Advance Optima series can be used in almost every form of production and has proven itself in the toughest processing environments. Key features include:
• Automatic calibration to save time and money on maintenance.
• Up to four fully combinable analyser modules.
• Up to six measuring components.
• Ex versions available.

• Analyse IT Explorer: comprehensive asset management software including QAL3 functionality.
EasyLine
EasyLine is both a powerful and affordable series of instruments for the monitoring of gas concentrations in numerous applications. EasyLine is based on the proven and reliable analyser technology that makes use of extractive continuous gas analysis principles. Key features include:
• Internal quality control and fully automatic QAL3 reporting.
• Automatic calibration to save time and money on maintenance.
• Combines two analysers in one enclosure for an excellent price-performance ratio.
• Up to five measuring components in one unit.
• Ex versions available.
• Easy connection for data acquisition.
• Analog outputs, digital I/O, Modbus, Profibus.
• Internal quality control and reporting.
EasyLine can be used in many power generation strategic measuring points, including CEM.
