General information
OXITEC® 5000 - O2 analyzer
COMTEC® 6000 - O2 + COe analyzer This application note describes the necessity of measuring the
oxygen content in different combustion processes. Controlling the
Plant types: air-fuel-ratio to optimize the combustion process reduces the
energy input (cost reduction) and results in a reduction of harmful
Fossil-fueled power plants emissions (environment). Also in terms of plant safety a reliable O2
Biomass-fueled power plants
measurement is essential.

ENOTEC Solution
ENOTECs OXITEC® 5000 is the reference in-situ O2 analyzer system. Its gas-tight
brazed sensor is unique on the world market and therefore unrivaled in its lifetime of
many years. The patented self-cleaning probe/filter construction provides fast
response times in applications even with high dust contents. This, combined with the
use of high quality materials to avoid abrasion and corrosion, results in a low
maintenance operation and a low cost-of-ownership.
After economizer
The most preferred and used measuring point
for combustion control and optimization is
after the economizer (heat exchanger), where
the flue gas temperature is about 380 °C. At
this point the gas already started to
homogenize. Nevertheless, the measurement
is still very fast responding due to the small
distance to the boiler.
It is also possible to move the point of
measurement in the direction towards the
boiler. This will even increase the response
time, but may come with the necessity of a
higher temperature range. With the ENOTEC
in-situ probe incorporated in a probe cooling
tube (bypass tube), it is able to withstand
process temperatures of up to 1600 °C.
