Description:
The Jet REMPI monitor was recently tested on a hazardous-waste firing boiler for its ability to determine real time concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs). Jet REMPI consists of a laser system coupled with a time of flight mass spectrometer capable of highly selective ionization with low detection limits in real time. It can measure a broad range of aromatic compounds including a number of air toxic compounds. This limited testing shows that Jet REMPI has promise as an on-line diagnostic monitor, providing feedback on the effects of operating parameter changes, such as fuel feed interruptions or air pollution control failures, on PCDD/F emissions.
