Evaluation of the compact ion mobility sensor as continuous emissions sensor. Final report, June 1995-February 1996

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:385291

An evaluation of the Westinghouse-developed ion mobility sensor (IMS) for NOx monitoring in a simulated smokestack gas mixtures (made up of carbon dioxide, water vapor and oxygen in a nitrogen ambient) has been undertaken, IMS positive ion spectra for NO and NO2 in nitrogen and in the simulated stack gas mixture have been shown for the first time at room temperature. The sensitivity of the IMS to NO and NO2 is excellent (in the fractional ppm range) and extend over the range of interest to GRI.
