Dust Monitoring Systems – Reliable Particulate Monitoring for Industrial Processes

Advanced Technologies for Industrial Dust Monitoring

PCME systems use a range of measurement technologies designed to provide stable and reliable dust monitoring across different applications.

These technologies allow operators to monitor both process filtration performance and regulated emissions from industrial stacks.

Key measurement principles include:

• ElectroDynamic® probe electrification technology for reliable particulate detection
• Backscatter optical measurement for low dust concentrations
• Continuous trend monitoring of dust emissions
• Integration with CEMS and plant automation systems

These technologies provide dependable monitoring even in environments with high temperatures, variable gas velocities, and challenging process conditions.

Dust Monitoring Solutions for Filtration Systems

Monitoring filtration performance is essential for maintaining stable plant operation and preventing excessive emissions.

PCME instruments designed for filter monitoring help detect problems such as:

• Broken filter bags
• Filter media wear or damage
• Inefficient filter cleaning cycles
• Gradual deterioration of filtration performance

A robust dust trend monitor designed for baghouse and cartridge filter systems, providing early detection of filter leaks and filtration problems.

QAL1-Certified Dust Monitoring for Emissions Compliance

For industrial plants subject to environmental regulation, continuous emissions monitoring is required to document particulate emissions.

PCME provides QAL1-certified dust monitors suitable for installation in stacks where compliance with European standards is required.

These systems support monitoring according to:

• EN 15267 (QAL1 certification)
• EN 14181 quality assurance procedures
• Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) requirements

A certified dust monitor designed for continuous particulate emissions monitoring (CEMS) in regulated industrial facilities.
