Overview:

The performance test of the Polaris FID measuring system for the component Total organic
carbon was performed in accordance with the guidelines for continuous emission monitoring
and the MCERTS Performance Standard for Portable Emission Monitoring Systems, Version
3.1. Since the MCERTS standard does not include any special requirements for FIDs, the
standards EN 12619:1999 and EN 13526:2002 which are specific for FIDS, were taken into
account (where this was deemed reasonable regarding portable instruments). The test was
carried out for the following components and ranges:

Component Certification range Supplementary range Unit

Total organic carbon 0 - 15 0 - 500 mg/m³

In conformity with the applicable standards, the following performance criteria were tested in
the laboratory:
 Check of general requirements according to 5.1 of MCERTS Performance Std. for
Portable Emission Monitoring Systems Version 3.1,
 Determination of warm-up time,
 Determination of response time,
 Repeatability at zero and at span point,
 Lack-of-fit,
 Influence of ambient temperature,
 Influence of voltage variation (additionally),
 Cross-sensitivity, incl. influence of oxygen,
 Short-term drift (1 hour) at zero and at span point,
 Degrees of protection provided by enclosures,
 Check of test gas mixture according to EN 12619:1999,
 Determination of response factors according to EN 12619:1999 and EN 13526:2002.
Based on the results of the lab test the total expanded uncertainty for the measuring of TOC
was calculated (with and without influence of response factor determination results).

A field test was carried out over a period of three days in the exhaust gas of a plant for syn-
thetic resin, with two complete and identical measuring systems of the type Polaris FID. With-
in the field test the following criterions have been tested:
 Calibration ability according to EN 14181,
 Determination of response time,
 Lack-of-fit.

Minimum requirements of MCERTS Performance Standard for Portable Emission Monitoring

Systems, Version 3.1 have been fulfilled during performance testing. When determining the
response factors, all data lay within the specific ranges, except for dichloromethane. The
manufacturing process of the Polaris FID of Pollution s.r.l. is controlled within the auditing
procedure of the MCERTS Performance Standard for Portable Emission Monitoring Sys-
tems, Version 3.1. Feb. 2010 which is equal to EN 15267-2: 2009. The initial audit for the
certification was performed in July 2013. Validity of the certificate is linked to an annual sur-
veillance audit at the manufacturing site of Pollution s.r.l.

Field of Application

The portable AMS Polaris FID can be used for measurements at combustion plants accord-
ing to EN 12619:1999 and at plants according to EN 13526:2002 taking into account the
specific findings and conditions documented inside the relevant test report 936/21217069
dated 29 July 2013.

Description of the AMS tested:

The instrument is designed to be resistant to samples with high temperature and humidity:
this is a typical working condition with hot samples during stack monitoring. The detector
manifold, the sampling lines and all the valves are integrated into a single block and uniform-
ly heated, in order to eliminate all possible cold spots and avoid local sample condensation.
The compact hydrogen storage cartridge (with an innovative metal-hydride technology) is in-
tegrated into the instrument and self-desorbs the hydrogen fuel to the flame detector at ap-
propriate pressure and flow.
The instrument incorporates everything needed for analysis: batteries, hydrogen storage ac-
cumulator, pump and activated charcoal filter for the flame air, span gas cylinder for the cali-
bration and technical air cylinder for high accuracy and precision. The instrument has a dis-
play and several buttons to control the unit and read the measured values and instrument
status.
The integrated microprocessor automatically controls several parameters: ignition and flame
monitoring, setup of parameters chosen by the user according to the analytical method, di-
agnostic checks, life monitoring of the gas cans and energy reserves, sampling lines, clean-
ing cycles and calibration procedures.
Special features:
The Polaris FID does not use an in-line pump; rather it operates by dosing the quantity of the
sample by sequential volume pumping at constant pressure with accurately adjusted tem-
perature values. This allows strictly repeatable samples regardless of the pressure at the
sampling point or the kinematic viscosity of the sample and external temperature.
The system operates in cycles, moving constant volumes at constant intervals so as to simu-
late low frequency pumping, thereby creating a heated head system with no membrane in
contact with the fluid being analysed. Delivery compression to the detector is realized with
zero grade air, which therefore acts as the sample carrier. This allows for continual auto-
zeroing of the analyser. A suction pump continuously takes up a significant flow of sample in
order to continually call up a new sample in the appliance and reduce response times.
The tested AMS consists of the following parts:
- Analyser module Polaris FID
- Sampling system: Sampling probe PF 18025 – 03 probe with heated filter and 2 m
heated (100 °C), PTFE Sampling line (6 mm).
The heated line and filter do not operate with batteries. A constant power supply is needed in
order to work with the heated line and filter.
