Description:
The Jet REMPI (Resonance Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization) monitor was tested on a hazardous waste firing boiler for its ability to determine concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs). Jet REMPI is a real time instrument capable of highly selective and sensitive (part per trillion to part per billion) detection of 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 ailures, on PCDD/F emissions.
