DIN EN 12619 VOCs in Flue Gas Flame Ionization Test
The DIN EN 12619 standard is pivotal for measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in flue gas emissions from combustion processes. This test is critical for ensuring environmental compliance and reducing harmful emissions, which are particularly important within the oil & gas sector where combustion processes are widespread.
The test method involves capturing a sample of flue gases using a sampling probe connected to an extraction system. Once collected, the sample is transported to a laboratory environment where it undergoes analysis via flame ionization detection (FID). The FID technique measures VOCs by their thermal conductivity changes when they pass through a hydrogen flame.
The test follows precise procedures outlined in DIN EN 12619, which includes:
- Sampling the flue gas at a representative location within the exhaust system.
- Transporting the sample to a laboratory without significant loss or contamination.
- Analyzing the sample using FID with temperature and flow rate control.
The standard specifies that the detection limit for VOCs should be lower than 10 μg/m³, ensuring accurate quantification of even trace levels. This level of precision is crucial given the stringent environmental regulations in place to combat air pollution.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to DIN EN 12619, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment such as high-performance gas chromatographs and FID detectors. We ensure that each sample undergoes rigorous quality control checks before reporting results. Our expertise lies not only in meeting the technical requirements but also in providing actionable insights based on our findings.
Understanding the implications of VOC emissions helps oil & gas companies make informed decisions about operational efficiency, compliance with regulations, and reducing their environmental footprint. This test is particularly relevant for industries that operate large combustion units such as furnaces or boilers.
