Waste Incineration Sampling Systems
Envea provides a full range of specific long term isokinetic samplers for the fully automatic and continuous sampling of Dioxins, Furans, Mercury and Biogenic CO2 emissions. Certified and approved, the Amesa® range are the systems of choice for greenhouse gas inventory and regulatory compliance for various industries worldwide.
Known volumes of flue gas are continuously extracted from stacks or ducts through a specific sorbent trap positioned in-stack or out-stack. The AMESA samplers capture the target compounds within the flue gas. After analysis, it provides an average measurement of the targeted compound over the sampling period.
Amesa-D Dioxin/Furan Isokinetic Sampler
The AMESA-D utilizes the water cooled probe method with Isokinetic sampling system coupled with XAD-II adsorbent cartridge for Long-term sampling of dioxins (PCDD), furans (PCDF) and other persistent organic contaminant (POPs).
Continuous dioxin and furan emission monitoring by long-term sampling is required in EU's waste incineration plants. AMESA-D system was designed based on TÜV and MCERTs certifications, ETV EPA approved and in accordance with Standards EN 1948-1, CEN/TS 1948-5
Amesa-B Biogenic Carbon Emissions Sampler
Part of waste-to-energy conversion can be considered renewable, due to the presence of organic compounds in incinerated waste. The question is therefore what is the real carbon footprint of the heat or electricity produced by waste incineration or RDF plants.
By differentiating between biogenic and fossil carbon dioxide, the company can quantify its actual greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint. Biogenic or carbon-neutral stack CO2 gas can be deductible from any company’s greenhouse gas inventory which is required for reporting under various regulations.
Calculation based on tracking the composition of feedstock is usually both tedious and inaccurate, this share can now be accurately measured thanks to Amesa-B, based on the principle of carbon-14 dating.
The Amesa-B uses a CO2 sampling method on an adsorber cartridge filled with Ascarite or soda lime, to determine the biogenic fraction of CO2 emissions. Sampling period can be set between several hours and 1 month.
