MIP LM 3086 EPA3 Laser Opacity and Dust Monitor

MIP LM 3086 EPA3 Laser Opacity and Dust Monitor

The MIP LM 3086 EPA3 is a laser-based opacity and dust monitoring system designed for continuous measurement of particulate emissions in industrial stacks. The system uses a single-pass, dual-path optical architecture with an independent reference path to maintain long-term measurement stability.

Laser-Based Measurement Architecture

• Single-pass laser beam crosses the stack once for opacity measurement
• Independent optical reference path transmitted via fiber optic zero pipe
• Continuous compensation for optical contamination and electronic drift
• Monochromatic laser source for wavelength stability

System Configuration and Control

The system consists of a laser transmitter unit, a receiver unit with a large-area detector, and a 19-inch rack-mounted controller. The controller processes measurement data, manages diagnostics, and provides operator interface and alarm handling.

Typical Applications

• Large combustion plants
• Refineries and cement plants
• Pulp and paper industry stacks
