Continuous Emissions Monitoring. A key aspect of the new CAAA is the requirement that plants prove their continued compHance to new emissions limits by installing continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMs). The CAAA imposes new requirements for monitoring NO, SO2, and CO2 levels in a plant s exhaust gas stream. Affected plants typically must gather data from stack monitoring systems, gas analyzers, and the plant s data acquisition system and provide the data in a format approved by the EPA and state regulators. CEM systems must be in place by November 1993 for boilers affected by Phase I of the CAAA, and byjanuary 1995 for plants impacted by Phase II. 

With the grab sampling technique, a samphng probe is placed at the center of the stack, and a sample is drawn direcfly into an Orsat analyzer or a Fyrite-type combustion-gas analyzer. The sample is then analyzed for carbon dioxide and oxygen content. With these data, the diy molecular weight of the gas stream can then be calculated. 

The instrumental analyzer procedure, EPA Method 3A, is commonly used for the determination of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in emissions from stationary sources. An integrated continuous gas sample is extracted from the test location and a portion of the sample is conveyed to one or more instrumental analyzers for determination of O9 and CO9 gas concentrations (see Fig. 25-30). The sample gas is conditioned prior to introduction to the gas analyzer by removing particulate matter and moisture. Sampling is conducted at a constant rate for the entire test run. Performance specifications and test procedures are provided in the method to ensure reliable data. 

The information obtained during the background search and from the source inspection will enable selection of the test procedure to be used. The choice will be based on the answers to several questions (1) What are the legal requirements For specific sources there may be only one acceptable method. (2) What range of accuracy is desirable Should the sample be collected by a procedure that is 5% accurate, or should a statistical technique be used on data from eight tests at 10% accuracy Costs of different test methods will certainly be a consideration here. (3) Which sampling and analytical methods are available that will give the required accuracy for the estimated concentration An Orsat gas analyzer with a sensitivity limit of 0.02% would not be chosen to sample carbon monoxide... 

In the case of a temperature probe, the capacity is a heat capacity C == me, where m is the mass and c the material heat capacity, and the resistance is a thermal resistance R = l/(hA), where h is the heat transfer coefficient and A is the sensor surface area. Thus the time constant of a temperature probe is T = mc/ hA). Note that the time constant depends not only on the probe, but also on the environment in which the probe is located. According to the same principle, the time constant, for example, of the flow cell of a gas analyzer is r = Vwhere V is the volume of the cell and the sample flow rate. 

Figure 1,3.46 shows the operation principles and arrangements of nondis-persive gas analyzers. 

In nondispersive gas analyzers, interferences by other gases that possibly absorb at the measurement and reference bands should be taken into account. In the measurement of CO, interferences by overlapping in the measurement band can be caused by COS, N2O, CO2, and water vapor. Another source of uncertainty is interference in the reference band.

The central transport chamber is an 80-cm-diameter stainless steel vessel, and is pumped by a 1000-1/s turbomolecular pump, which is backed by a small (501/s) turbomolecular pump to increase the compression ratio for hydrogen, and by a 16-m /h rotating-vane pump. UHV is obtained after a bake-out at temperatures above 100°C (measured with thermocouples at the outside surface) of the whole system for about a week. A pressure in the low 10 " -mbar range is then obtained. With a residual gas analyzer (quadrupole mass spectrometer, QMS) the partial pressures of various gases can be measured. During use of the system, the pressure in the central chamber is in the low 10 -mbar range due to loading of samples. Water vapor then is the most abundant species in the chamber. 

The deposition chamber is a cylindrical vessel with a diameter of 50 cm and a length of 80 cm. At about 5 cm from the arc outlet, silane can be introduced via an injection ring (7.5-cm diameter) that contains eight holes of 1-mm diameter each. The distance between arc outlet and substrate is 38 cm. The substrates are heated via the substrate holder, of which the temperature can be controlled between 100 and 500°C. Samples can be loaded via a load lock equipped with a magnetic transfer arm. The substrate can be optionally RF-biased. A residual gas analyzer...
