PARTICULATE EMISSION PROBES
Particles in emission outlet streams of various manufacturing processes need to be measured to meet health, safety and environmental regulations. The Goyen Mecair range of Particulate Emission Probes such as the FFD, and the FFA , use a unique probe electrification technology which outperforms conventional triboelectric systems for emissions monitoring and broken bag detection.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
UNIQUE PROBE ELECTRIFICATION TECHNOLOGY
A charge signature is induced by particulates in the airstream interacting with the sensing rod. All three devices extract a specific frequency band from the induced AC current signature and filter out the DC current generated by direct particle collisions. In order to reject signals falling outside a pre-defined frequency range, the so resulting signal is electronically filtered, that is why these units are less susceptible to changes in particle velocity and are not affected by any particulate contamination on the sensing rod.
Also this technology, not relying on particles colliding with the probe, is able to measure a more representative area of the stack and eliminate the need of long sensor probe rods.
Thanks to the alarm delay feature, by properly setting the delay period, the system will exclude short term signal increases associated with pulse cleaning of filters.
MOUNT
The FFD, and FFA heads are typically mounted through the wall of a duct carrying the moving particles so that the probe is exposed to the particles. The gas stream often exhausts to atmosphere (such as in a stack), but these emission monitors are equally suited to detecting particles in motion in a gas stream under other conditions, for example pneumatically-conveyed or gravity-fed particles.
APPLICATIONS
Pentair Goyen | Mecair FFD, and FFA Particulate Emission Probes are used around the world to measure particle concentrations and detect filter failures from various configurations: bag filters, cartridge filters, ceramic candles filters but also cyclone separators and others.
These Particulate Emission Probes are used in all types of industries and processes, including:
- cement production
- steel production
- waste to energy plants
- coal fired power plants
- mining applications
- silo and conveyor systems
- bulk goods handling
- general industrial dust collection
- improving indoor workplace air quality
- preventing harmful emissions
