AMP-Cherokee FTIR CEM systems are available as permanent installations or portable, temporary systems. In addition to traditional CEMS design, AMP-Cherokee can also accurately quantify exotic compounds through in-situ or extractive FTIR systems.

Real-time Measurement Results  
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy is the state-of-the-art Test Method for obtaining simultaneous analysis of multiple gaseous compounds. With sensitivity ranging from very low Parts Per million (ppm) to high Percent (%) levels, FTIR can measure a wide variety of Gaseous Volatile Organic (VOCs) and Gaseous Inorganic Compounds. (EPA Methods 318, 320, 321, NIOSH Method 3800, and EPA  Performance Specification 15)

• HAPs for MACT -  FTIR detects organic and inorganic Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)
• Real-Time Results - take continuous measurements with results reported in real-time
• APC Performance -   use with Sorbent Injection, SCR, Thermal Oxidizers, and Scrubbers
• Emissions Characterizations - FTIR can simultaneously detect virtually all gas-phase pollutants: Criteria Pollutants, Diluents, VOCs, GHG Pollutants, and Gaseous Inorganic Compounds (HCl and HF)
  

• EPA Method 318 - Extractive FTIR Method for Measurement of Emissions from Mineral Wool and Wool Fiberglass Industries
• EPA Performance Specification 15 for Extractive FTIR CEMS in Stationary Sources
• EPA Method 320 -Vapor Phase Organic and Inorganic Emissions by FTIR (extractive)
• EPA Method 321 - Determination of HCl for Portland Cement Industries
• EPA Protocol for Extractive FTIR for Analysis of Gas Emissions
• NIOSH Method 3800 - Organic and Inorganic gases by Extractive FTIR Spectrometry
• ASTM D6348 - 03 Standard Test Method for Determination of Gaseous Compounds by Extractive Direct Interface Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy

• Non-destructive.
• Few sample limitations - solids, liquids and gases can be measured.
• Precise measurement method with no external calibration.
• Due to simultaneous frequency measurements, most measurements made by FTIR are accomplished in seconds - not minute timeframes.
• Greater optical throughput.
• High reliability with only one moving part in the interferometer.
• Sensitivity is dramatically improved with FTIR for many reasons. The detectors employed are much more sensitive, the optical throughput is much higher (referred to as the Jacquinot Advantage) which results in much lower noise levels, and the fast scans enable the coaddition of several scans in order to reduce the random measurement noise to any desired level (referred to as signal averaging).
• Instruments use an HeNe laser as an internal wavelength calibration standard (Connes Advantage). Instruments are self-calibrating - do not require user calibration.
  
  

FTIR Heated Sample Line
AMP-Cherokee's FTIR heated sample lines incorporate removable core PFA Teflon tubing for sample extraction and calibration gas injection. Line temperature is regulated via an integral Type K thermocouple and an included dual-channel digital heat controller. Our FTIR heated lines are designed to maintain 350oF at 0oF ambient temperature and have a maximum temperature limit of 400oF. All lines are certified clean prior to shipment.

Technician's Note Proper FTIR sampling requires a clean, high temperature sample transport system. AMP-Cherokee can provide additional items such as sample probe/filters and heated sample lines to meet the needs of FTIR sampling. Cherokee can also aid with your sampling needs via training or on-site assistance. Please contact your Cherokee representative to find out more details.
