Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer

Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer

Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer

Introduction

The ESEGAS ESE-Z-100 Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer is designed for continuous measurement of oxygen concentrations in combustion gases, industrial boilers, furnaces, and high-temperature process environments. It uses a zirconium dioxide solid electrolyte sensor to determine oxygen concentration by measuring the oxygen partial pressure difference between the reference gas and the sample gas. Its high-temperature ceramic probe provides fast response, stable measurement, and resistance to demanding industrial conditions, with a protective configuration capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1,700°C. The analyzer supports real-time combustion optimization, excess-air control, and industrial emission management.

Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer Key Industrial Applications

Our Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer ESE-Z-100 is designed to accurately monitor and control oxygen concentration in combustion gases, boilers, and high‐temperature industrial furnaces. By leveraging a solid electrolyte cell based on zirconium dioxide (zirconia), these analyzers deliver fast response times, high stability, and reliable measurements even under harsh operating conditions. The patented ceramic probe protector is resistant to corrosion and high temperature and can withstand up to 1700 ℃ high temperatures. The heavy industries deploy zirconia oxygen analyzers to ensure optimal combustion control, improve energy utilization, and comply with environmental regulations. Common applications include:

  • Coal‐Fired Power Plants: Monitoring boiler flue gas oxygen levels for combustion tuning and emission reduction.
  • Gas‐Fired Boilers: Controlling air‐to‐fuel ratios to maximize thermal efficiency and prevent unburned hydrocarbons.
  • Waste Incineration Boilers & Hazardous Waste Incinerators: Ensuring complete combustion of municipal solid waste or hazardous materials. Reducing dioxin and particulate formation.
  • Petrochemical Cracking Furnaces: Regulating oxygen in high‐temperature pyrolysis units to optimize yield and extend catalyst life.
  • Iron & Steel Industry Furnaces: -Hot blast furnaces to control blast oxygen concentration for stable furnace operation. -Sintering, heating, and heat treatment furnaces to achieve precise metallurgical conditions.
  • Cement and Glass Production Furnaces: Maintaining correct oxygen levels in rotary kilns and glass melting furnaces for consistent clinker quality and glass clarity.
  • Oxygen‐Enriched Pipelines: Continuously verifying oxygen purity for enriched combustion or gas mixing systems.
  • Semiconductor and Electronics: Manufacturing Inert‐gas protection furnaces where trace oxygen must be detected to prevent contamination during wafer processing.

A zirconia oxygen analyzer measures oxygen concentration in combustion gases and high-temperature industrial processes. It is commonly used in boilers, furnaces, kilns, and other combustion equipment to optimize combustion efficiency.

It uses a zirconium dioxide solid electrolyte to measure the difference in oxygen partial pressure between the sample gas and reference gas. This difference generates an electrical signal related to oxygen concentration.

Zirconia sensors operate at elevated temperatures and provide continuous oxygen measurement in combustion environments. Their design makes them suitable for applications where conventional low-temperature sensors may not be appropriate.

Yes. By monitoring residual oxygen in flue gas, operators can adjust combustion air supply and fuel input. This helps reduce excess air and improve combustion control.

Typical applications include industrial boilers, power plants, cement kilns, steel furnaces, glass furnaces, and waste incineration systems.

ESEGAS has supplied zirconia oxygen analyzers for process temperatures up to 1,450°C. Models designed for temperatures above 1,000°C differ significantly from standard-temperature versions in their materials and construction. We can customize the analyzer to suit the customer’s specific operating conditions.
