A Number of Genetic Lineages Can Be Created from the Above Data

Using decisive classification rather than theoretical the practice is not to make a big distinction between single gas and multi gas analyzers. Therefore the genetic lineage by gas type could be:

Source Gas Analyzers by Pollutant for Power Plants

*For non-utility applications these two pollutants plus _O3, BTX, VOC and other pollutants may be continuously analyzed.

There is a genetic lineage for Monitoring Acquisition Method, which is shown in Figure 1.

There is also a genetic lineage by Principle of Operation, which is shown in Figure 2.

Here is one final example to integrate the foster and genetic family. The following shows the most popular SO₂ CEM for power plants.

Electric Utilities -coal-fired boilers – air quality - FGD

--fluorescence -- sources

In this case there is a lack of clarity relative to the principle of operation. There needs to be some input and consensus from the industry as to how to clearly classify the principles based on actual use not theory. Once there is consensus in English it will be a much simpler task to prepare the Chinese equivalent.

We invite the subscribers to this newsletter to weigh in on any aspect of this endeavor.
