DCEM 6000
QAL1 Dust Analyser

The DCEM 6000 is a continuous triboelectric dust analyser designed to measure particulate emissions from industrial processes. It provides real-time particulate data to help operators demonstrate emissions compliance, monitor filtration performance and identify changes in dust emissions.

The DCEM 6000 uses triboelectric technology to detect electrical charge generated as particles interact with the sensing probe. This provides a direct measurement of particulate activity and allows the system to monitor dust concentration continuously.

Yes. A key advantage of the DCEM 6000 is its ability to provide a direct particulate measurement, rather than simply measuring light transmission or opacity. It can provide an output in mg/m³, with an integrated calibration function for concentration measurement.

The DCEM 6000 has a QAL1-certified range of 0–7.5 mg/m³, with supplementary ranges of 0–15, 0–50 and 0–100 mg/m³. Its maximum operating range extends to 0–500 mg/m³. The appropriate range depends on the application and regulatory requirements.

Yes. The DCEM 6000 is designed to detect low particulate concentrations and is particularly suited to applications where operators need sensitive, continuous monitoring of emissions downstream of filtration or abatement equipment. CODEL describes the analyser as capable of detecting even very low dust levels.

Yes. The DCEM 6000 is QAL1 certified to EN 15267-3 and EN 14181, with its QAL1 certification covering the 0–7.5 mg/m³ range. This makes it suitable for regulated continuous emissions monitoring applications where certified particulate measurement is required.

Continuous particulate measurement can provide an early indication of changes in filtration performance. An increase in measured dust levels can help operators identify potential problems with equipment such as bag filters or other particulate-abatement systems, allowing corrective action before emissions become a more significant issue. CODEL positions the DCEM 6000 for both compliance monitoring and optimisation of filtration performance.

Yes. The DCEM 6000 is designed for continuous emissions monitoring and can form part of a wider CEMS installation alongside gas and flow monitoring equipment. It also supports integration with CODEL Cloud for access to monitoring data and reporting.

Yes. The DCEM 6000 can be configured to satisfy US EPA 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 11 (PS-11) for particulate matter CEMS. PS-11 is technology-neutral, meaning it does not prescribe a particular particulate measurement technology. The DCEM 6000’s triboelectric measurement principle can therefore be used where its performance is demonstrated against the applicable requirements

The main difference is the measurement principle. The DCEM 6000 uses triboelectric sensing, while an optical monitor such as the DCEM2100 uses light transmission to determine opacity/particulate concentration.

Triboelectric monitoring can be particularly attractive where direct particulate sensing, rapid response and straightforward installation are priorities. Optical monitoring can be preferable where opacity measurement or a particular optical monitoring methodology is required. The best choice depends on the application and regulatory requirements.
