Keith Warren, Servomex, UK, looks at the role that combustion measurements play in controlling carbon emissions.
W
ith the increasing global focus on reducing and preventing harmful emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), many industries are looking for ways to minimise the environmental impact of their operations. International action to reduce the impact of carbon emissions on climate, including the 2016 Paris Agreement, has intensified the implementation of ever more stringent environmental regulations. In response, industrial operators are increasingly adopting clean air and decarbonisation strategies designed to
meet regulatory requirements and help them achieve carbon reduction targets. Gas analysis plays an essential role in these efforts, not only by supporting the measurement of harmful emissions, but also by improving process efficiency, thereby ensuring fewer emissions are generated from the outset. Combustion efficiency is one of the key stages in any effective clean air strategy. Taking control of this important process reaction allows operators to reduce emissions of key pollutants, lower fuel consumption, and improve safety.
