Measurement of flue gas
The combustion process in electricity production inevitably generates emissions of toxic gases and particles. These emissions pose a danger to humans and also contribute to environmental damage. Therefore, emissions are regulated by public authorities worldwide to ensure human health and environmental preservation.
Emissions Monitoring
To ensure that the exhaust gases produced when fuel or other materials are burned comply with the applicable limit values, it is a good idea to take measurements.
Measuring flue gases is important for process control, efficiency, and emissions monitoring, and accurate monitoring allows you to demonstrate that your process remains within the permitted emission limits.
Opacity or particle (PM) measurements are required in power plants worldwide. Gaseous pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides must also be monitored to demonstrate compliance with local environmental regulations.
How to Measure Flue Gas?
When conducting effective flue gas measurement, it is important to have the right equipment for the purpose. At Hans Buch, we offer a range of instruments designed for monitoring and controlling flue gas, and we have solid experience in providing solutions for emissions monitoring to meet precise customer requirements.

Lancom 4 for Effective Flue Gas Measurement
Lancom 4 from AMATEK Land provides an effective solution for industries burning coal, natural gas, oil, or biomass, as the Lancom 4 analyzer is ideal for the periodic testing of emissions. It is one of the most accurate, robust, and flexible portable flue gas analyzers available today.
Since Lancom 4 is portable, a single analyzer can be used to measure emissions at different points in a process or from entirely different processes.
Lancom 4 meets a range of test protocols, including ASTM D6522 for nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide, and oxygen concentrations. It can also monitor species not commonly measured by CEMS, such as hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide.
Electrochemical and Infrared Measurement
Lancom 4 is capable of measuring up to eight flue gases simultaneously with nine separate sensors in a range of combustion and emissions processes.
All major flue gases are monitored using a combination of sensor types:
- Electrochemical (for O2, CO, SO2, NO, NO2, and H2S)
- Infrared (for CO2) and pellistor/catalytic (for hydrocarbons)
Easy Integration with All Applications
Lancom 4 is easy to set up and easy to operate. It can be configured for a wide range of applications to ensure full optimization of combustion conditions and compliance with emission requirements.
It is also easy to maintain and service, ensuring that you get a durable tool that delivers effective solutions for a long time to come.
