Stack gas monitoring with Thermo Scientific
March 2012
Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
The Thermo Scientific Model 60i is a full-extractive, multigas analyser that features non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) optical filter technology to ensure accurate, precise measurement of up to six gases, including CO, CO2, NO, NO2, and SO2. The Model 60i also accommodates an optional O2 measurement capability using either an affordable electrochemical cell or, when high accuracy and reliability are required, paramagnetic technology.
In addition, the unit is designed with built-in safeguards that protect the analyser in the event of a sample conditioning system malfunction.
The high sensitivity of the Model 60i requires as little as one quarter the flow rate of similar instruments, exposing the analyser and sample conditioning system to less particulate and water for more dependable operation. It offers a wide dynamic range and configuration requirements have been minimised.
The new Thermo Scientific unit is a ‘smart’ analyser with on-board electronics that are capable of controlling a calibrator, probe controller and heated sample line all to reduce space requirements. With its efficient and uncomplicated gas cell and electronic system layout, plus the analyser’s two-piece, slide-apart case and interior fold-down divider panel for rapid component access, the Model 60i is easy to use, maintain and service. The unit is designed to meet U.S. EPA 40CFR Part 60 requirements.

Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
At its peak in 1994, the energy generation capacity of the UK’s nuclear power stations was 12,7 GW across 16 plants. In 2024, the capacity has fallen to around 5 GW, and the number of stations is down to nine. However, this is far from the end of the story as spent nuclear fuel remains radioactive for centuries, and requires rigorous safety processes to safeguard against leaks.
