Particle monitor wins award
Phoenix Instruments were the winners of the best product award, presented by Westwick-Farrow Publishing at the Manufacturing Technology InFocus Exhibition held in Sydney this week.
The award was given to the LMS 181 particulate monitor by PCME. The LMS 181 used forward light scatter (pr-scatter) measurement technology to produce a continuous measurement of stack particle emissions, and is compliant with the US EPA standard for PM-CEMS (PS-11) and the European WID (waste incineration directive) EN14181. PCME's method of measuring scattered forward light from a laser light source gives a high signal-to-noise ratio allowing high stability, even at dust concentrations of less than 0.1 mg/m3.
The device has an innovative self-testing and self-auditing feature that performs upscale (span) and zero checks automatically within the instrument, and its design is inherently stable by avoiding the use of fibre optics which can be aged by temperature variations.
