Carbon monoxide (CO) Applications

Process control / explosion protection

  • Control of electro-static precipitators (ESP) in nickel, copper, or cement works
  • Fire prevention in carbon black production
  • Converter gas, CO recovery in steel plants
  • Control of crude oil predestilation
  • Hydrogen production units
  • Control of fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCU)
  • Trace CO in pure Hydrogen
  • Open Path CO for detection of smouldering fires

Combustion control

  • Process heater and crude furnaces in refineries
  • Metal scrap recycling (e.g. RSF, URTF or electric arc furnaces)
  • Coal fired boilers in power plants
  • Ovens in glass works
  • Municipal waste incinerators or thermal oxidisers
  • Industrial (hazardous) waste incineration
