Ron, <br>
Lots of examples but ne'er the' a TLUD.<br>
<br>
The IR machine was a loan from CANMET. It had higher range options
than the boiler tools that we used. And more importantly, it was
recently calibrated:)<br>

1. Thanks for the input. I also have found a case
where CO2 exceeded CO content: see Fig 3 in<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ncsu.edu/bioresources/BioRes_04/BioRes_04_3_0946_Wang_CDYZS_Gas_Char_Microwave_Pyrol_Pine_Sawdust_504.pdf">http://ncsu.edu/bioresources/BioRes_04/BioRes_04_3_0946_Wang_CDYZS_Gas_Char_Microwave_Pyrol_Pine_Sawdust_504.pdf</a><br>
<br>
2. But in general I have found CO to be (by far) the
largest pyrolysis gas output. See for instance, Fig 4
at:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.btgworld.com/uploads/documents/Gasification%20Attachment%20Website%20v2.pdf">http://www.btgworld.com/uploads/documents/Gasification%20Attachment%20Website%20v2.pdf</a><br>
<br>
The use of equivalence ratio (used in that figure)
could be a very good one for us to try to report.<br>
<br>
3. I haven't found the right cite yet - but some might
like this paper/chapter showing a range of values for CO:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nariphaltan.virtualave.net/gasbook.pdf">http://nariphaltan.virtualave.net/gasbook.pdf</a><br>
<br>
4. I wandered around various gas monitoring equipment
web sites - and saw lots on IR approaches. Do you think
that is the right one? I have given up looking for an
optimum approach - as there is a huge array out there -
and mostly very expensive. If I had to buy an instrument,
I would start by seeing what University researchers report
what they are using. Maybe someone on the list is into
this measurement topic.<br>
