Abstract

Stack gases of wood and oil burning boilers operating at Technical Research Centre of Finland were analyzed by a commercial FTIR-Gas Analyzer System. Concentrations of CO₂, CO, NO, NO₂, N₂O, HCN, NH₃, SO₂, HCl, CH₄, and H₂O were monitored in real time by multicomponent analysis software of the Gas Analyzer System. Detection limits for different components varied from sub-ppms to few ppms using 8 cm^-1 spectral resolution and 20 second measurement time. Analysis of calibration gases showed a high degree of accuracy and repeatability of the measurement method.
