PFM 20

Precise dust monitoring, simple setup, built to last

OVERVIEW

The PFM 20 family is a complete range of in-situ dust analyzers designed to answer two critical questions in industrial emissions management: How much dust is present (Concentration) and is my filtration system performing correctly?  From continuous emissions monitoring in compliance-critical stacks to qualitative filter integrity checks across baghouses and cyclones, the PFM 20 family delivers certified measurement accuracy in a robust, low-maintenance design, built for demanding industrial environ-ments in cement, steel, power generation, chemicals, and beyond.

HOW CAN PFM 20 FIT YOUR APPLICATION?

Dust Concentration

How much pollutant per unit volume?

When regulatory authorities require a numerical emissions value, qualitative data is not enough. The PFM 20 dust concentration analyzers provide quantitative, in-situ measurement of particles, giving you a precise, real-time reading in mg/m³. With QAL 1 certification to EN 15267-3 and a robust probe design built for continuous operation, these analyzers are the reference-class choice for Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems.

Applications:

  • Cement plants: stack and kiln exhaust emissions monitoring
  • Steel and metal processing: high-temperature process stack measurement
  • Coal-fired and biomass power generation: continuous CEMS compliance
  • Waste-to-energy facilities: regulatory stack monitoring
  • Chemical process industry: clean gas duct monitoring after filtration systems

Certified dust monitoring that keeps you compliant, confident, and in control.

Not every application requires a precise milligram reading. In filter integrity monitoring, what matters most is detecting change fast. The PFM 20 filter monitoring range uses continuous triboelectric meas-urement to provide qualitative assessment of dust presence in exhaust gas streams: identifying in-creasing or decreasing emissions trends, and providing early warning of filter deterioration. 

This enables faster response, reduced process risk, and continuous assurance that your abatement sys-tems are working.

Applications:

  • Cement production: baghouse and fabric filter monitoring after kiln and raw mill stacks
  • Steel & metal processing: early detection of filter breaks in emission control systems
  • Coal-fired power & biomass plants: continuous verification of fabric filter performance to prevent permit violations
  • Food processing & grain handling: dust collection system monitoring to catch filter deterioration before dust escapes
  • Chemical & mining operations: real-time filter integrity checks to reduce unplanned maintenance and operational shutdowns
  • Waste-to-energy facilities: continuous emissions control verification across multiple filtration stages

KEY BENEFITS

Audit ready

<p>Stay audit-ready with TÜV and MCERTS certifications that prove your compliance with confidence</p>
