Siloxane monitoring

188金宝搏手机端元素为发动机制造商和管道工程师提供Siloxane采样和分析服务，以准确评估Siloxanes的水平并防止发动机零件和管道系统损坏。

Siloxanes are a class of organic chemicals present in many consumer and industrial products. When combusted, the presence of siloxanes in landfill gas, wastewater gas, and biogas fuels can become a problem, as they are formed to silica (sand). These particles can be highly damaging to moving parts of engines and pipelines – leading to dramatically decreased servicing intervals and increased running costs. Many sites use activated carbon filters or regenerative filters for siloxane removal to prevent damages or down-times, but testing is crucial to determine the efficiency of these systems.

188金宝搏手机端元素can accurately evaluate the levels of siloxanes within your gas using sorbent tubes and Gas Chromatography Sass Spectroscopy (GC/MS) with analysis and use this information to:

• assess the efficiency of any abatement system, or
• establish whether it would be cost-effective to install a clean-up system.

By quantifying the degradation of the filter system, you can decide when replacement or servicing is required. This means you only action changes when necessary – ensuring optimal timeframes of operation, avoiding early replacement of systems that are still effective, and removing inefficient filters before damage is caused to your equipment.
