Boiler Combustion Efficiency
SST’s zirconium dioxide oxygen sensors can help customers optimise their boiler combustion efficiency within the oil, coal, gas and biomass boiler market. The oxygen to fuel ratio effects boiler efficiency. Too little oxygen results in incomplete combustion creating harmful emissions. Setting the boiler to burn with excess oxygen is the normal solution to reducing emissions.

Protecting Robotic Process Automation Systems
Industrial robotic systems are hugely expensive to install so it is crucial that they are operated and maintained correctly – any “down-time” can be costly! Oil within system is used to lubricate the joints and gears and prevent overheating, misalignment, and bearing wear. If this oil leaks during operation, it could contaminate the surrounding environment, damage production and affect machine performance. Immediate detection of when an oil level is low is therefore critical to avoid costly expense.

Gas Nitriding and O2 Measurement
The presence of oxygen in this heated environment can cause explosion. To minimise the risk of explosion when introducing ammonia, the furnace must first be purged and oxygen levels decreased, typically to below 3-5%. The purge gas is generally nitrogen.
