Analytical oxygen and combustibles transmitter for coal-fired applications

06 July 2009

Emerson Process Management has enhanced its Rosemount Analytical OCX8800 oxygen and combustibles transmitter to offer advanced functionality and reliability in coal-fired applications, helping to improve burner efficiency and reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. Featuring oxygen and combustibles measurement capabilities in a single design, the OCX8800 boasts an improved sensor technology that reduces drift. It is the first transmitter of its kind to support Foundation fieldbus communication.

The enhanced OCX8800 is NEMA 4X rated for weather resistance, corrosion resistance and is rated as explosion-proof. The device can be configured for general purpose installations or it can be configured for hazardous area locations in which CSA/FM Class 1, Zone 1 ATEX II 2 G EExd and IECex ratings are required.

The proprietary software also includes features that minimise COe (Carbon monoxide equivalent) cell degradation for improved reliability with fewer calibrations. And for added flexibility, the OCX8800 supports Foundation fieldbus and Hart communications.
