Continuous Flue Gas Monitoring System

Are you in need of on-demand measurement of O2, CO, NOx, and temperature in your furnace’s backend ductwork?

  • On-Demand Multi-Point Analysis

  • Seamless DCS Integration

  • Automated PLC Operation

  • CEM-Grade Accuracy

  • Robust Sample Conditioning

  • In-House Combustion Tuning

STORM’s Continuous Flue Gas Monitoring (CFGM) system delivers on-demand, precise measurement of O2, CO, NOx, and temperature across a multi-point grid. Powered by a robust Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and an intuitive user interface, the system automatically sequences through predetermined test points to extract targeted flue gas samples and temperature readings. While test protocols are fully customizable to meet specific plant requirements, the standard operation efficiently cycles through each grid point for a designated duration.

To ensure sample integrity and accuracy, the extraction lines can be heat-traced and temperature-controlled to prevent condensation before reaching the conditioning system. This conditioning unit prepares a perfectly dry sample for the integrated CEM-style analyzer and is safeguarded by built-in alarms for water carryover and temperature fluctuations.

Ultimately, all real-time data seamlessly integrates into your plant’s DCS. This empowers control room operators and internal staff to quickly execute tests, analyze results, and make critical combustion tuning decisions in-house—eliminating the need and expense of mobilizing a large, external testing team.
