Lafarge Process Kit - Gas analysis.pdf
1. The document provides instructions for sampling gas and air at locations in a calcination workshop and analyzing the composition using a stack emission analyzer. 2. Gas sampling is done using a vacuum pump, plastic balloon, and stainless steel pipe to collect samples from the stack. 3. The sampled gas is then analyzed using a stack emission analyzer to measure levels of O2, CO2, CO, and NOx, which can be used to evaluate burner air excess or perform a thermal balance of the calcination workshop.

PURPOSE Sample the gas / air at the defined locations of the calcination workshop and perform an analysis. 2. FIELD OF APPLICATION All LAFARGE Gypsum Division production sites. 3. PRINCIPLE The analysis of the stack emission gas is necessary to evaluate z burner air excess or to perform a thermal balance of a calcination workshop. For those analysis, we measure the composition of O2 and CO2 in the air at different locations of the workshop. Furthermore, the gas analysis might be required from time to time to analyze the gas composition at the chimney especially when there is a change in the burner process or a new type/supplier of gas or fuel. 4. SAFETY For the sampling of the gas, the technician in charge of the test must wear safety gloves.

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS 6.1. Preparation of sampling equipment • Put a closing device at the inlet of the plastic balloon pipe. • Connect the plastic balloon at the outlet of the vacuum pump and the plastic pipe at the inlet. • From the pipe at the inlet of the vacuum pump, connect the oil filter and another plastic pipe. • Be aware that there is a direction of gas flow on the oil filter (indicated by an arrow).

Analysis of the air / gas composition • Make sure that the equipment is properly calibrated. For rental equipment, it is usually done before sending the analyzer on site. • Connect the plastic pipe from the balloon onto the gas inlet of the analyzer. • Once you start the analyzer, its internal pump is emptying the balloon until the measurement is complete. • Record the value of CO, CO2, O2 and Nox according to your needs (thermal balance, chimney emission analysis)
