Power Generation Technologies

Continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) are used to measure and report regulated gases from combustion and power generation processes. These systems support monitoring directly on or off the emission stack and are critical for environmental compliance, process visibility, and operational control. In power generation applications, CEMS help operators monitor gases such as NOₓ, CO, and CO₂ while supporting reliable plant operation, easier integration with existing control infrastructure, and reduced maintenance burden.

Radiation monitoring solutions help power generation facilities protect personnel, maintain regulatory compliance, and respond effectively during routine operations, outage support, and emergency events. Our portfolio provides real-time radiation detection, continuous area monitoring, contamination monitoring, personnel dose measurement, and site entry/exit screening to support nuclear power plants, research reactors, waste management operations, and other radiation-sensitive applications. From routine health physics surveys and ALARA programs to boundary verification, isotope identification, and remote monitoring, these technologies help operators maintain a safe working environment while delivering accurate, reliable measurement when it matters most.

FTIR spectroscopy is a non-destructive analytical technique used to identify and quantify gas-phase chemical species by measuring infrared absorption across a broad range of frequencies. In power generation applications, FTIR analysis can support multi-gas measurement for stack testing, emissions testing, process monitoring, and relative accuracy test audit (RATA) validation. This makes FTIR spectroscopy a valuable technology for operators who need broad gas analysis capability and complementary validation support for emissions monitoring systems.

Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique that provides detailed information about molecular composition and structure by measuring inelastic light scattering from a sample. In power generation applications, Process Raman spectroscopy can support real-time natural gas composition analysis and hydrogen blending measurements, providing continuous compositional insight without the need for offline sample preparation. This makes Raman spectroscopy a strong fit for evolving power systems where fuel flexibility, natural gas optimization, and hydrogen integration are becoming increasingly important.

Process mass spectrometry is an analytical technique used to identify and quantify the chemical composition of gases and vapors by measuring mass-to-charge ratios. It is well suited for real-time monitoring of complex gas mixtures and can support fast, high-sensitivity analysis in industrial environments. In power generation applications, process mass spectrometry is relevant for hydrogen fuel blending, fuel gas properties analysis, and other process measurements where rapid gas composition data is needed to support process understanding and control.

Sulfur monitoring technologies are used to measure sulfur species in gas streams and support process control, equipment protection, and compliance-related objectives. In power generation applications, sulfur monitoring can be important for natural gas systems and combined cycle power plants where total sulfur measurements help operators maintain fuel quality awareness and support reliable plant operation.

Handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) are portable analytical techniques used for rapid elemental analysis and positive material identification (PMI). In power generation applications, these technologies can support material verification in warehouses, plant infrastructure, and maintenance environments. They are particularly useful when operators or contractors need to confirm that the correct materials are being used during construction, repair, or asset integrity programs.
