      Laboratory for Emission Measurements FHNW

      In the laboratory for emission measurements, we support you with our infrastructure to measure and characterise gas and particle emissions from thermal decomposition processes.

      Our Offer

      • We offer various measurement methods for emissions from thermal processes, including:
      • Emission measurements in the combustion laboratory at the FHNW (Windisch) or externally on large plants. 
      • Assessment and optimisation of combustion processes with regard to their emissions by means of online measurement of all important gaseous emissions to assess the combustion quality and online measurement of particle number, mean geometric diameter, respirable surface concentration (LDSA), mass concentration. 
      • Measurement of the total dust mass concentration in accordance with the applicable Swiss and European standards. 
      • Measurement of fine dust emissions (number and mass) in accordance with requirements for the Label Blue Angel for Wood-burning stoves (DE-UZ 212) 
      • Measurement of the efficiency of dust reduction equipment  
      • Measurement of the soot count

      Infrastructure

      • Water cooling system for systems with a thermal output of up to 200 kW 
      • Exhaust gas discharge with adjustable negative pressure 
      • (Combustion) gas mixing system and gas combustion test rig 
      • Overhead crane Area with increased room height for larger superstructures up to 7 metres with a lifting platform for safe access. 
      • Gas warning system and flooding detector 

      Measurement infrastructure

      Measurement of gaseous emissions: 

      • Oxygen (paramagnetic, electrochemical) 
      • Carbon dioxide (NDIR) 
      • Carbon monoxide (NDIR, electrochemical) 
      • Nitrogen oxides (chemiluminescence) 
      • Sulphur dioxide (electrochemical) 
      • Volatile organic compounds (FID) 
      • Polychlorinated dioxins and furans  
      • Polyaromatic hydrocarbons 
      • Many other gaseous compounds (FTIR) 

      Particulate matter emissions: 

      • Gravimetric measurement method 
      • Online measurement of particle count, mean ge-om. diameter, LDSA (respirable surface area (DiSC,CPC) 
      • Soot number measurement 

      Particulate matter and pollutant measurements on installed wood-burning stoves.

      The laboratory for emission measurements is part of the Institute of Bioenergy and Resource Efficiency FHNW
