| Thermo Fisher upgrades SOLA II Flare analyzer | ||

.jpg) February 18, 2009 – Thermo Fisher Scientific announced a more compact and cost-efficient solution for refineries and related facilities seeking to meet the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sulfur emission regulations. Originally introduced as a two-analyzer system, the Thermo Scientific SOLA II Flare has been redesigned as a single analyzer system for continuous monitoring of sulfur emissions. It offers a dynamic measurement range of 10 ppm to 95 percent of volume, enabling determination of the exact amount of sulfur emitted as well as the duration of the flaring event. Since the introduction of the SOLA II Flare, Thermo Fisher has installed several two-analyzer systems in California refineries to help in compliance with Rule 1118 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The redesigned single-analyzer system has a much smaller footprint, requires less maintenance and uses less utility and carrier gases. Collectively these new features lower operating and maintenance costs and minimize overall expense. Thermo Fisher and Mangan Inc., a systems integrator with extensive experience in environmental monitoring of flares, have partnered to provide refineries with a complete, turnkey flare emission monitoring solution. After collaborating with Thermo Fisher Scientific following the SCAQMD ruling, Mangan gained an understanding of how to seamlessly integrate the SOLA II Flare into existing plant infrastructures to expedite start-ups and minimize potential downtime. |
