This equipment and associated method allows us to analyse, based on a few parts per million, combustion gases, including CO, CO<sub>2<\/sub>, NO, NO<sub>2<\/sub>, N<sub>2<\/sub>O, H<sub>2<\/sub>S, COS, SO<sub>2<\/sub>, HCl, HBr, HF, HCN, formaldehyde, acrolein, acetaldehyde, and light pyrolysis gases such as methane, ethane and ethylene. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We defined the equipment with the supplier to be robust and transportable so that it can easily be used in our various test laboratories. Such a device is available in France and UK but can be used anywhere on request. The principle is to extract gas from the fire effluents, passing it through a polychromatic infrared beam and analysing the resulting absorption spectra mathematically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of recent applications in fire tests are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tests for regulation compliance according to marine or railway sector requirements, following ISO\/TS 19021, EN 17084 or FTP code part 2. In all these tests, FTIR is coupled to ISO 5659-2 smoke chamber<\/li><li>Tests to study emission factors in the chemical industry, in complement to energy-related parameters, coupling FTIR to ISO 5660-1 cone calorimeters<\/li><li>Tests to quantify gases released to the unexposed face of penetrations or doors during fire resistance tests; we equipped the hoods of several fire resistance furnaces of adequate sampling ports<\/li><li>Large-scale and full-scale tests in our various calorimeters, in accordance with ISO 16405 and for fires up to 20 MW<\/li><li>Real-scale and in-situ tests. As an example, we recently analysed the effect of a water mist system on fire gas concentration decay, for specific applications.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, we recently completed the gas analysis portfolio in partnership with partners, in order to provide a complete solution for industry. In the near future, it will be mandatory for certain industries to determine emission factors of many environmentally impacting fire effluents. This is mainly because of a change in French regulation and the future evolution of European IED installation rules in accordance with EU directive 2010\/75\/EU. This new offer includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>CO, CO<sub>2<\/sub> using NDIR technique<\/li><li>\u201cAcute\u201d toxicants HCl, HBr, HF, SO<sub>2<\/sub>, NO<sub>x<\/sub> in accordance with ISO 19702 using the FTIR technique<\/li><li>Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), (time-resolved) in accordance with EN 12619, and total yields for 35 VOCs including BTEX (benzene toluene styrene and xylenes) in accordance with NF X 43-267<\/li><li>Total yields of aldehydes and ketones in accordance with NF X 43-264<\/li><li>Total yields of heavy metals, including As, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Tl and V in accordance with EN 14385, mercury in accordance with EN 13211 and chromium speciation in accordance with XP X 43-136<\/li><li>Total yields of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in accordance with NF X 43-329<\/li><li>Total yields of dioxins, furans and PCBs in accordance with EN 1948-1 to -3<\/li><li>Soot in accordance with EN 13284-1<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many other substances such as flame retardants, isocyanates, nitriles and fire-fighting foam residues may be included on request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact: <a href=\"mailto:eric.guillaume@efectis.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eric Guillaume<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Efectis has developed expertise in smoke gas analysis using FTIR in accordance with ISO 19702.
