Cement manufacturing facilities operate in demanding process and emissions environments where accurate analytical data supports environmental monitoring, process optimization, and regulatory testing programs.
Ohio Lumex supports cement industry applications through analytical instrumentation, sampling systems, field services, and accredited laboratory analysis for mercury monitoring, sorbent trap programs, kiln process measurements, and trace gas monitoring associated with Cement MACT and NESHAP requirements.
Ohio Lumex offers continuous gas analyzers, sampling systems, and laboratory instruments for industrial applications.
The Ohio Lumex field services team supports cement manufacturing facilities throughout North America with on-site specialty testing, process measurements, and analytical instrument services.
Our field services engineers provide onsite gas testing and sampling support for cement kiln and process applications, including challenging analytes such as mercury (Hg), sulfur trioxide (SO₃), ammonia (NH₃), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and acid dew point measurements associated with kiln exhaust streams, sulfuric acid mist formation, and air pollution control systems.
Our team provides installation, commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting support for monitoring systems used in cement process and emissions applications. These services help facilities maintain reliable analytical data and long-term instrument performance in demanding kiln operating environments.
The Ohio Lumex analytical laboratory provides trace-level analysis of samples collected from cement process streams and emissions testing programs using validated EPA and ASTM methods. Our NELAP and A2LA accredited laboratory supports cement manufacturers, industrial facilities, and stack testing firms with accurate and reliable analytical data.
Ohio Lumex has extensive experience supporting both internal process monitoring and external emissions testing programs across a wide range of industrial applications. Our approach integrates field services, accredited laboratory analysis, and specialized analytical instruments designed for trace-level gas measurements.
These capabilities allow facilities to better understand process conditions, evaluate polution control technologies, and obtain reliable data for regulatory testing programs.
Many testing programs rely on sorbent trap sampling methods to measure trace constituents in gas streams. A sorbent trap is a small glass tube filled with specialized sorbent material that captures specific analytes as gas passes through it. After sampling, the traps are returned to the laboratory where they are analyzed to determine the concentration of the gas of interest.
Sorbent traps are widely used for measuring mercury and other trace constituents because they provide reliable results even at very low concentrations and under challenging conditions. These methods are commonly used in process monitoring and regulatory emissions programs. They can simplify testing while maintaining high analytical accuracy, making them a practical and cost-effective option for many applications.
