We recently built a CEMS for a refinery in Antwerp

Its main function: to analyze nitrogen emissions. Curious about what we did exactly? Then read on.

About the refinery

The refinery processes various types of crude oil, from light low-sulfur oil to heavy high-sulfur oil. The crude oil is supplied via the Rotterdam-Antwerp pipeline. After arrival, the crude oil is stored in the tank farm at the refinery complex and then processed into a series of products. Denk aan LPG, benzine, nafta, kerosine, diesel, huisbrandolie, stookolie en grondstoffen voor de chemische industrie. The refinery is integrated with a solvent factory that produces chemical solvents.

CEMS: GRP analysis cabinet

The CEMS consists of a GRP analysis cabinet with a GMS800 from Sick for the determination of nitrogenous substances such as NO (nitrogen monoxide), NO2 (nitrogen dioxide), SO2 (sulfur dioxides), and O2 (oxygen). The analyzer has EN14181 and EN 15267 type approval.

GRP stands for Glass-Fiber Reinforced Plastic. GRP consists of composite materials manufactured by laminating unsaturated polyester resin with fiberglass and filler.

Our scope of delivery consisted of:

  • Developing and building the analyzer system
  • Transport to the location
  • Commissioning the complete system
