Maintenance EmiCo lite

Regular maintenance for long-term reliability

Maintenance EmiCo. lite

EmiCo lite is a robust, low-maintenance gas analyzer engineered for continuous operation in wastewater treatment environments. To ensure consistently reliable measurements a structured maintenance program is essential. This includes visual inspections, filter replacement, and – most critically – semi-automated calibration.

Calibration

Accurate calibration is fundamental to ensuring measurement reliability. EmiCo Lite uses a semi-automated calibration process with certified gas bags, enabling traceable, user-friendly calibration in the field.

Performed using the supplied gas bags (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O) and a 6 mm PTFE hose:

  1. Zeroing with nitrogen (N₂)
  2. Gas calibration (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O)
  3. Return to Operating Mode

Particle filter replacement

EmiCo lite is equipped with three particle filters that protect internal components from contamination and preserve measurement accuracy.

Replacement procedure:

  • Ensure a tight fit to maintain gas-tight operation.
  • Remove used filters and unscrew connection nuts.
  • Align the new filters with the gas flow direction (indicated by an arrow on the filter).
  • Attach the hoses and secure with union nuts.
  • Ensure a tight fit to maintain gas-tight operation.

Maintenance schedule overview

Zero Point Gas: To provide precise measurements, EmiCo lite determines the 0 point of components. On a weekly basis the system performs an automatic zero-point calibration with pure nitrogen. For this reason, a nitrogen bottle is connected to the system.

Bi-annual Calibration: To avoid drifts, the EmiCo system requires a calibration every 6 months. The calibration is performed by connecting gas bags with predetermined N₂O, CH₄ and CO₂ concentrations to the system. These bags are sent by Variolytics ahead of time.

Maintenance: The units are monitored remotely by Variolytics, to determine if additional maintenance is necessary.
