Abstract
Experimental determination of the gas composition in full
scale furnaces is important for the understanding of
the kinetics of the gas phase reactions and the formation
of different intermediates in the combustion process.
Measuring the gas composition in the furnace area sets
certain requirements on the sampling method. Challenges
when measuring in the furnace area are e.g. high
temperatures, particles in the flue gas and the
complexity of the
gas composition. A gas sampling probe for determining the
flue gas composition in the furnace area of a
recovery boiler was developed. The developed gas sampling
probe is based on dilution of the gas sample in the
probe tip with nitrogen, to quench the ongoing combustion
reactions in the flue gas. To determine the dilution
ratio a tracer gas, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), was added
to the dilution gas. The developed gas sampling probe
was tested in a large recovery boiler and was connected
to a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analyzer, two
gas chromatographs (GC) and an oxygen analyzer.
