Altech Receives Eight CEMS Orders:

Here are recent CEMS orders received by Altech:

Altech will provide a dilution system for SO2 and CO2 at a milling operation in Western U.S. The system will comply with 40CFR60.

Altech will replace the CEMS at a utility in the Eastern U.S. The system will measure NOx, O2, and opacity from two oil-fired boilers. The unit will be 40CFR Part 60 compliant.

A cogeneration facility chose Altech and their MIR 9000 to measure NOx, CO, CO2, N2O and O2. The system will be able to handle the difficult NOx conditions related to this facilities process. The O2 will be in-situ and there will be an opacity monitor.

Altech is known throughout the industry for having expertise in the measurement of HCl. Often a difficult gas to accurately measure, the MIR 9000 is ideal for this application. A power plant in the Eastern U.S. chose Altech and the MIR 9000 to measure NOx, SO2, CO, CO2, HCl and O2.

Altech will provide two MIR-9000's for a metals processing facility in the South that will monitor NOx, CO, SO2, CO2, O2, THC (VOCs) and Flow. This project will use Altech LCPD probe boxes. This is a good example of how the versatility of the MIR can allow for measurement of all of the mentioned gases with one analyzer.

A major cement manufacturer in the United States chose Altech to provide an audit of every one of their facilities. The audit will examine the state of their current CEMS. Altech is ideally suited to meet the needs of the cement industry. The company has a complete solution to the new regulations, to include PM, HCl, and Hg to provide compliance with the new cement regulations.

Altech will provide two MIR 9000's to measure NOx, CO, and O2 from natural gas fired turbines. This project is located at the physical plant of a major university.

Altech will provide two dilution systems for a power plant located in the Western United States. The systems will measure NOx, SO2, and CO. The system will use existing flow and opacity
