Ron,
Lots of examples but ne'er the' a TLUD.
The IR machine was a loan from CANMET. It had higher range options than
the boiler tools that we used. And more importantly, it was recently
calibrated:)

1. Thanks for the input. I also have found a case where CO2
exceeded CO content: see Fig 3 in
http://ncsu.edu/bioresources/BioRes_04/BioRes_04_3_0946_Wang_CDYZS_Gas_Char_Microwave_Pyrol_Pine_Sawdust_504.pdf
2. But in general I have found CO to be (by far) the largest
pyrolysis gas output. See for instance, Fig 4 at:
http://www.btgworld.com/uploads/documents/Gasification%20Attachment%20Website%20v2.pdf
The use of equivalence ratio (used in that figure) could be a
very good one for us to try to report.
3. I haven't found the right cite yet - but some might like this
paper/chapter showing a range of values for CO:

4. I wandered around various gas monitoring equipment web sites -
and saw lots on IR approaches. Do you think that is the right one? I
have given up looking for an optimum approach - as there is a huge
array out there - and mostly very expensive. If I had to buy an
instrument, I would start by seeing what University researchers report
what they are using. Maybe someone on the list is into this
measurement topic.
