Flue gas analysis is used both for efficiency and emissions purposes. Due to advances in electronics, it is now easier, cheaper and due to that it is easy to monitor flue gases. Due to tightening environmental regulations, monitoring may be mandatory. The instruments used for analysis can be inexpensive small hand-held devices that produce reasonable accuracy, to larger permanently installed units that are capable of producing lab quality results on a continuous basis.
The combustion process inputs are fuel and air. Therefore, the components of flue gas are primarily made up of compounds of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon. The components that are of interest because they effect efficiency are primarily oxygen (O) and carbon (C). The components that are of interest from an environmental perspective are nitrous-oxides (NOx), carbon-dioxide (CO2), carbon-monoxide (CO) and sulfur-dioxide (SO2) – if the fuel source is oil or coal.
