SBIR Phase II: Fourier Transform Infared Diagnostics for Environmental Monitoring

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）旨在支持继续研究开发烟气监测系统，以确定燃烧过程排放的气体中潜在的空气污染物。该系统基于傅立叶变换红外光谱在监测氮、硫和氯的在线诊断仪器中的应用原理，该诊断仪器可用于确定流出气流的组成。导致这一建议的提案是由于成功完成了第一阶段的小企业创新研究项目，其中证明了所提议概念的技术可行性。在第二阶段，研究人员计划组装一个工作现场原型，并在全尺寸燃烧系统中验证其精度、准确性和稳定性，作为确定该概念商业可行性的一步。化石燃料燃烧和固体废物燃烧产生的废气会产生副产物气体，污染排放到其中的空气。预计该项目的结果将确定生产一种仪器的商业可行性，该仪器可用于监测燃烧过程废气中的氮和硫氧化物以及潜在的有毒气体。

9413017 Serio This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) is to support continued research on development of a flue gas monitoring system for determination of the potential air contaminants in emissions of gases from combustion processes. The system is based on the application of principles derived from the use Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in monitoring nitrogen, sulfur and chlorine in an on-line, diagnostic instrument that can be used for the determination of the composition of effluent gas streams. The proposal leading to this recommendation results from successful completion of a Phase I, Small Business Innovation Research project in which the technical feasibility of the concept proposed was demonstrated. In Phase II, the investigator plans on assembling a working field prototype and to validate its precision, accuracy and stability during operation in full-scale combustion systems as a step toward determination of the concept's commercial feasibility. Exhaust gases from combustion of fossil fuels and from combustion of solid wastes results in the production of byproduct gases that pollute air into which they are discharged. Results of this project are expected to determine the commercial feasibility of producing an instrument that could be used to monitor nitrogen and sulfur oxides and potentially toxic gases in the exhausts from combustion processes.
