  • In-line loss-on-ignition measurement system and method
    Patent number: 8388892
    Abstract: An in-line loss-on-ignition measurement system includes an on-site extractor subsystem configured to collect fuel or a combustion by-product from a hydrocarbon fuel burning plant. An on-site analyzer is configured to receive the collected matter from the extractor subsystem and configured to weigh the collected matter, burn the collected matter, and weight the collected matter again. A controller is responsive to the analyzer and is configured to determine the loss-on-ignition data for the plant based on the weight of the collected matter before and after it is burned in the analyzer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 12, 2010
    Date of Patent: March 5, 2013
    Assignee: The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc.

  • In-line loss-on-ignition measurement system and method
    Publication number: 20100198408
    Abstract: An in-line loss-on-ignition measurement system featuring an extractor configured to collect fuel or a combustion by-product from a hydrocarbon fuel burning plant, an on-site analyzer configured to receive the collected matter and determine loss-on-ignition data for the plant, a transfer mechanism configured to transfer the collected matter from the extractor to the analyzer, and a controller for displaying the loss-on-ignition data and/or for automatically adjusting one or more parameters associated with the plant.
