Application of Various DDS Sensors in Flue Gas Monitoring
In today’s world, environmental monitoring and industrial development have become global focuses. Flue gas generated from combustion processes contains a variety of harmful gases, among which carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) are the primary pollutants, posing severe threats to human health and the environment. To effectively control and reduce emissions of these harmful gases, monitoring is of vital importance. The wide-range electrochemical CO and NO gas sensors from DDS UK provide an efficient and accurate solution for flue gas monitoring.

Both nitric oxide and carbon monoxide are highly harmful to the human body, with the specific hazards as follows:① Nitric oxide (NO): High concentrations of NO can strongly irritate the respiratory tract, triggering coughing, asthma and even pulmonary edema. It may also interfere with the function of vascular endothelial cells, causing abnormal blood pressure, promoting thrombosis and impairing cardiovascular health. In addition, it can cross the blood-brain barrier, damage nerve cells, interfere with the transmission of nerve signals, and lead to neurological symptoms such as dizziness and memory loss.
② Carbon monoxide (CO): CO has an extremely high affinity for hemoglobin, forming carboxyhemoglobin and hindering oxygen transport, which results in tissue hypoxia. Acute CO poisoning can cause coma and even death, and some patients may develop delayed encephalopathy after regaining consciousness. Long-term exposure to low concentrations of CO can induce neurasthenia symptoms, increase the burden on the heart, and trigger cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction.
For flue gas monitoring, technical engineers from
Shenzhen Wuliang Sensor Technology Co., Ltd. recommend the DDS electrochemical CO sensor GS+4CO and NO sensor GS+4NO, which offer an efficient solution for this application. By adopting DDS’s advanced sensor technology, we can better control harmful gas emissions and protect the environment and human health.
DDS UK Nitric Oxide Sensor GS+4NO
The GS+4NO electrochemical nitric oxide sensor features high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, good stability, and resistance to interference from H₂S, NO₂, Cl₂, CO, SO₂, NH₃ and H₂. It is mainly used for nitric oxide detection in scenarios such as flue gas analyzers and industrial toxic gas detection.
Wide Measurement Range
DDS sensors boast an ultra-wide measurement range that far surpasses similar products, enabling accurate detection of high concentrations of CO and NO. In the complex industrial flue gas environment, even with large fluctuations in gas concentration, the sensors can stably output accurate data to meet monitoring requirements under different working conditions.
High Sensitivity and Precision
These sensors respond sensitively to CO and NO, capable of quickly capturing minor changes in gas concentration. Advanced electrochemical technology ensures high measurement precision, effectively reducing errors and providing a reliable basis for subsequent environmental protection decisions and equipment regulation.
Versatile Application Scenarios
Thermal Power Industry

In thermal power plants, flue gas from coal combustion contains large amounts of CO and NO. The use of DDS sensors allows real-time monitoring of emission gas concentrations, helping enterprises adjust combustion processes in a timely manner, reduce pollutant emissions and meet environmental protection requirements. Installing these sensors enables effective monitoring of boiler combustion status, improving energy utilization efficiency and cutting harmful gas emissions.
Waste Incineration

Flue gas from waste incineration has complex components and poses a great threat to the environment. DDS sensors can accurately monitor CO and NO in the flue gas, assisting waste incineration plants in optimizing incineration processes and reducing environmental pollution.
