# Oxygen monitoring for dust-collector, mill and silo inerting

Inerted dust systems are held below a set oxygen level. Sarvesh supplies ACCURRA-S 3030 and ACCURRA-Hz, built in Pune, with sampling matched to the stream.

- ISO 9001:2015, certified by TÜV
- Designed and built in Pune since 2002
- Supplied to Reliance, Tata Steel, Indian Oil, Linde and ISRO

 Quick answer

Use ACCURRA-Hz, ACCURRA-S 3030. Inerted dust systems are held below a set oxygen level. Dusty sample needs filtering.

## The measurement and why it matters

Inerted dust systems are held below a set oxygen level. This is a good fit, with one configuration or sample-handling point to confirm before we quote.

Inerting and oxygen monitoring in flammable atmospheres exist to keep oxygen below a limit. The analyser is part of the safety philosophy, so the area classification, certificate and response requirements are settled first.

ACCURRA-Hz uses an enclosure certified for Gas Group IIC, Zone 1 and 2, T6. We make no SIL claim today. If your project requires SIL-rated devices, tell us at the start and we will state point by point what we meet.

Typical buyers in India: pharma, sugar, pigment, aluminium powder and coal plants. Where this matches your plant, send us the gas, range, pressure and temperature at the tapping point and we will confirm the analyser and sample path.

## Models and ranges

| Model | Measures | Range | Sensor and notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3030 | Oxygen percentage | 0 to 25 % and 0 to 100 % | Electrochemical |
| ACCURRA-Hz | Oxygen, hazardous area | Percent and trace | Gas Group IIC, Zone 1 and 2, T6 |

## Process notes

### What the analyser reads here

Gases of interest: O2. Analyser fit: ACCURRA-Hz, ACCURRA-S 3030.

The table above lists each model with its range; where a row says to confirm the range, we check it against the datasheet for your application before quoting.

### What to settle before ordering

Dusty sample needs filtering.

We would rather confirm these points at the start than discover them at commissioning, so please include them with your process details.

## Sampling and installation

- Every ACCURRA-S has an internal fine filter and rotameter. Regulate sample pressure and flow externally; the catalogue recommends about 1 LPM and a sample pressure of 2 to 10 psig.
- Keep sample lines short, clean and dry, and vent the sample somewhere safe.

ACCURRA-S sample specification: non-corrosive, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-condensing and dry, free from entrained oil; sample pressure 2 to 10 psig, regulated externally; flow about 1 LPM; dust below 3 micron. Where your sample differs, we design conditioning around it.

## Send us your process data

**What the data sheet asks for**

Send what you have and we will ask for the rest.

- The gases to measure, the range, and the accuracy you need
- Background gases and their typical composition
- Sample temperature, pressure and dew point at the tapping point
- Dust level, and whether the gas carries tar, oil or condensable vapour
- Process connection and, for ducts, the duct diameter
- Where the sample vents to, and at what pressure
- Area classification of the tapping point and of the analyser location, and the IP protection needed
- Distance between the tapping point and the analyser
- Outputs you need: 4-20 mA, dual range, relays, Modbus RTU
- Calibration approach, calibration gas available, and whether blowback is required
- Utilities at site: power supply, instrument air, nitrogen, steam and cooling water, and the ambient temperature range
- Gases and ranges: O2
- The point to confirm: Dusty sample needs filtering.
