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 through continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) 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 combinations of technologies, such as; Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR); IR; UV; TC; 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.
* ACF series is a fully certified analyser system which accurately monitors the hot/wet composition of exhaust gases. It is a completely pre-engineered FTIR CEM System made for easy operation. It has the lowest maintenance interval in the market. QAL3 automatic span drift check without test gas optionally available.
* ACX series is a fully certified analyser system which accurately monitors the dry base composition of exhaust gases. It is 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. QAL3 automatic span drift check without test gas optionally available (can be a cost effective alternative to ACX).
ACF series
ACF series with more than 1500 installations worldwide make this the most referenced and reliable solution, positioning ABB 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.
ACF is suitable for all components, including water soluble – typically NO, NO2, N2O, NH3, SO2, HCI, CO, CO2, CH4, H2O, HF, O2 and VOC via FID / FTIR.
ACF offers 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 all components, up to six measurable values– typically NO, NO2, N2O, NH3, SO2, CO, CO2, CH4, and O2. (NOx can also be reported as a single component and Dry Base values can be reported at preset normalised O2 value).
ACX integrated systems can be used for power generation boiler stack CEM and many other measuring points on power plants.
ACX benefits
Reliability
* Compliant according to European, US and international Standards.
* Wide range of proven analysers combined with worldwide support for engineering and certified service.
Profitability
* Saving time and money with automatic calibration through built-in calibration cell without gas bottles.
* Cost reduction for routine maintenance through self-diagnostic and remote control.
Flexibility
* Wide range of options to serve all relevant gas analysis applications.
* Easy integration in customer network through a broad variety of process interfaces and connectivity options.
