Emerson Introduces AccuMax™ Technology for Boiler and
Furnace Operation Improvement
New feature of Rosemount Analytical® analyser increases oxygen measurement accuracy
Emerson Process Management has introduced the AccuMax™ technology to enhance
boiler and furnace efficiency and reduce emissions. The new feature of the company’s
Rosemount Analytical® X-STREAM™ O2 analyser helps customers maintain accurate
oxygen measurements.
Today’s sustained fuel price increases are causing boiler and furnace operators to
examine ways to reduce oxygen in their flue gas to achieve higher efficiencies and lower
nitrogen oxide and greenhouse gas emissions. Accurate flue gas oxygen measurements
are critical to attaining these goals.
“Numerous variables can create inaccuracies in oxygen measurements resulting in less
efficient combustion control and wasted fuel,” said Doug Simmers, product manager for
the Rosemount Analytical Gas Division of Emerson. “Extensive testing regarding these
variables led to the development of AccuMax technology for the X-STREAM O2 analyser,
which offers industry leading accuracy and stability.”
The performance-enhancing AccuMax technology includes an internal mechanical
assembly that stabilises cell temperature, increasing oxygen measurement accuracy.
AccuMax also incorporates a Calibration-Recommended Diagnostic which identifies when
the probe requires calibration, eliminating the need to schedule calibrations on a periodic
basis.
According to Simmers, “The Calibration-Recommended Diagnostic saves time and
calibration gas, and ensures that the operator always has an accurate analyser. These
savings can pay back the analyser purchase price in just a few weeks.”
