Light absorption gas sensor using optical fiber pptAvinash Jadhav
This document describes a light absorption gas sensor using an optical fiber. It includes a concept, block diagram, theory of operation, test observations, and work pending. The concept is to remove the cladding from an optical fiber so that gas in a chamber can act as the cladding and absorb light as it passes through. The block diagram shows the light source, gas chamber, and detector circuit. The theory section explains that different light wavelengths will be tested to determine which absorbs gas the most. Initial test observations without a gas chamber are presented comparing readings using an adhesive tape versus metal connectors for different colored LEDs. Further work is needed to take readings within a gas chamber.

This document discusses the role of combined heat and power (CHP) plants in providing flexibility to energy systems with increasing renewable production. It notes that renewable energy sources like solar power are becoming cheaper but also more intermittent, creating challenges around reliability. CHP plants could help address this by participating in electricity reserve markets that compensate plants for being available to increase or decrease production on short notice. The document presents a case study that simulated an actual CHP plant's revenues from 2015-2016 and found it would have earned 15-20% higher annual profits by participating in these reserve markets. This suggests CHP plants are well-positioned to play a role in ensuring energy system reliability in the future.

Heinäkuussa 2014 käynnistyi kehitystyö, jonka tuloksena luvattiin olevan siirrettävä,
jatkuvatoiminen (on line) metallimittausratkaisu teollisuusvesille - kaivoksille,
metallitehtaille, kemiantehtaille ja energiateollisuuteen - on saavuttanut
tavoitteeseensa ja läpimurto on saavutettu suomalais-norjalaisen yhteistyönä.
Liukoisten metallipitoisuuksien mittaamistoive on toteutunut
ja todella pieniä, mikrogrammatason liukoisia
metallipitoisuuksia voidaan mitata teollisuuden
kuivatusvesistä, jäähdytysvesistä ja jätevesistä
jatkuvatoimisesti paikasta ja ajasta riippumatta vuodet
ympäri äärimmäisissä olosuhteissa. Metallipäästöt
vesistöihin kuormittavat herkkiä vesistöjä ja metallien
mittaamisen avulla päästöjä voidaan vähentää merkittävästi.
Käyttöön on otettu mittausratkaisu, jolla ensimmäisenä
maailmassa voidaan maastossa mitata useiden metallien
päästöjä ympärivuotisesti paikasta ja ajasta riippumatta.
Jatkuvatoiminen mittaus voidaan viedä ojaan, purku-
uomaan, lampeen, jokeen, järveen tai altaaseen ja täysin
reaaliaikaisesti mitata metallien määrää vedessä.
Tämä mahdollistaa metallipäästöjen kiinnisaamisen heti -
esim. onnettomuustilanteessa on tärkeää havaita päästö
heti alkuvaiheessa, jolloin voidaan välittömästi reagoida ja
estää suurten metallimäärien joutumisen vesistöön. Tämä
säästää rahaa sekä ympäristöä.
Mitatut metallipitoisuustiedot lähetetään langattomasti eteenpäin ja näin voidaan
metallipitoisuuksien noususta saada välittömästi tieto ja ryhtyä saman tien korjaaviin
toimenpiteisiin. Ratkaisuun kuuluu myös vesimäärän ja muiden vedenlaatutietojen
samanaikainen mittaaminen, joten ratkaisu on globaalisti täysin ainutlaatuinen.
Ratkaisun toimivuus on todettu vuoden 2015 aikana kaivos- ja metallikonserni Bolidenin
kaivoksella ja metallisulattamolla tehdyissä täyden mittakaavan koejoissa ja ensimmäiset
kaupalliset sopimukset asiakkaiden kanssa on solmittu marraskuussa 2015.
Ratkaisun takana ovat EHP-Tekniikka Oy, oululainen ympäristömittaustekniikan yhtiö,
CEMIS-Oulu, Kajaanissa toimiva Oulun yliopiston tutkimusyksikkö ja EnviTech AS,
norjalainen ympäristöalan yhtiö.

Reliable On-line Measurements for
Demanding Conditions
Editor's Notes
Our key interest and main focus of activities is on-line measurement solutions. First why should be measure and why to use on-line monitoring systems. On-line monitoring systems are saving both money and time, because less people are needed for measurements (sample collection, transportation, treatment, analysis and reporting). Measurement information is more useful. More real and current information on your process or emissions. You can react immediately if something wrong happens meaning less environmental influences and less losses in your process.
And if you have an automatic on-line monitoring system, in addition to that already said, you are able to monitor your process and emissions regardless where it is situated. An advanced automatic on-line monitoring system is able to operate whatever weather conditions are and you get directly the data into your pleasant office.
EHP-Tekniikka Ltd. is offering a comprehensive automatic on-line monitoring system for water quality and quantity control. The measurement systems comprised of a measurement well equipped with selected sensors for water flow metering and water quality control, an intelligent measurement unit that is operated by a solar panel, wireless data transfer and cloud computing based data distribution and reporting system.
If you are interested, you can watch a Youtube video.
By automatic on-line environmental monitoring system you can monitor around 50 different parameters depending on your needs. And we are continuously developing new sensors. At CEMIS we are focused to develop on-line sensors for toxic metals like Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, Cd, Mn, U etc, for sulfur compounds, for bacteria and for chemical compounds that are detrimental for human beings llike drug residues, endocrine distrupters etc.
For on-line detection of toxic metals we have developed a novel sensor unit based on electrochemical sensor, optical sensor or biosensor depending on the metal we are measuring. The work was started five years ago. The first and the second generation as well as current prototype are shown on the right hand of the slide. The current sensor prototype shown in the righ bottom corner is integrated to the measurement system of EHP-Tekniikka. Currently we are able to detect metals like Cu, Pb, Zn and Ni. And we are continuously developing sensors for other metals, too. Typical emission limits for metals in mines, at least in Finland, are around 100 ug/l. Depending on the metal, we can detect even some ug/l metal concentrations in water streams. Analysis is fast, we do not use environmental harmful materials, sampling and sample treatment is automated, capital and operational costs of the measurement are low and the system is self-powered, wireless and robust.
