Latest Patents
Hensel holds a patent for a "Real-time alkali monitoring system." This invention features a fiber optics-based optical emission line monitoring system. It is designed to detect selected spectral emission lines, such as the sodium emission line, even in the presence of interfering background radiation. The system utilizes a combustion flame fed by a diverted portion of a process stream. A bifurcated or quadfurcated fiber optic light guide collects light from the flame. The light is then guided through branches of the fiber optic cable to bandpass filters, each tailored to specific wavelengths corresponding to the emission lines being detected. The system employs two separate filters for each species being monitored, ensuring accurate readings.
