• Particulate and Flow

The PCME STACK is an approved particulate measurement system for continuously monitoring emissions from industrial sources. It is predominantly used to monitor particulate emissions in stacks after bag filters, cartridge filters, cyclones and process driers. The instrument combines regulatory approvals (MCERTS and TUV BlmSchV 17 and 13) for both dust measurement and leak monitoring, with reliable automatic quality assurance features, rugged operation and advanced diagnostics capability for managing and improving the operation of bag filter arrestment plant.These instruments use PCME’s unique and patented ElectroDynamic™ Probe Electrification technology.

The sensor’s electronics measure the current signature created by particles interacting with the grounded sensing rod which protrudes into the stack. The electronics extract a specific frequency band of this signal and electronically filters out the DC current caused by particle collisions. This signal may be correlated to dust concentration by comparison to the results of an iso-kinetic sample for those types of industrial stack applications for which the instrument is designed.These instruments use PCME’s unique and patented ElectroDynamic™ Probe Electrification technology.
