Flue Gas Analysis Laboratory

Flue gas measurements are a critical process conducted primarily in industrial facilities and energy production plants to monitor and control the gases released into the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil and natural fuels. In our country, these measurements are carried out under strict supervision to protect the environment and human health, improve air quality, and comply with environmental regulations.

What is Flue Gas Measurement?

Flue gas measurement is the process of analyzing the chemical composition of gases released into the atmosphere after combustion in facilities. The measurements include pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), as well as particulate matter and volatile substances. These measurements are conducted to monitor the environmental impact of facilities and ensure compliance with relevant legal regulations.

Flue Gas Measurements and Regulations in Our Country

In our country, the control of flue gas emissions is carried out under the Regulation on the Control of Industrial Source Air Pollution, the Regulation on the Control of Air Pollution from Heating, and the Regulation on the Assessment and Management of Air Quality, as regulated by the Ministry of Environment, Urban Planning, and Climate Change. These regulations require industrial facilities to adhere to specific emission limits. Additionally, facilities are required to conduct regular flue gas measurements and report the results.

Yeditepe University R&D and Analysis Center is authorized by the Ministry of Environment, Urban Planning, and Climate Change and the Turkish Accreditation Agency, providing services in flue gas and air quality monitoring.
