At our live webinar at ACHEMA Pulse 2021 Felix Ullrich, Product & Application Manager Germany at KNF, spoke about "Overcome typical obstacles of valid extractive gas analysis with flexible gas sampling pumps".

The focus on the webinar is about the following:
Constant sample air volume and uncontaminated samples are the prerequisites of valid extractive gas analysis. However, these are influenced by the process related requirements in regard to the employed measurement technology, the characteristics of sample gases as well as the aging of gas sampling pumps. Based on the experience from an installed basis of thousands of gas sampling pumps for emission analysis and process control, we use this presentation to highlight why specifically the flexibility of gas sampling pumps is key to overcoming these obstacles.
We focuse on enhanced dynamics of gas sampling pumps by means of integrating them into the process control systems and, on the other hand, targeting the design of the pump components at the requirements of the respective process technology.
