Advanced Ultraviolet (UV) Fluorescence SO₂ Monitoring Solutions
Explore precision engineered SO₂ analyzers for reliable emissions data, compliance, and process efficiency in diverse industries.
Overview
Ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence SO₂ analyzers are essential tools in emissions monitoring systems, providing accurate, real-time detection of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) concentrations in ambient or stack air. These analyzers use UV light to excite SO₂ molecules, triggering fluorescence emission that is measured and quantified. The technology’s non-destructive method allows for continuous, long-term monitoring in harsh environments with high sensitivity and low detection limits.
As environmental compliance becomes more stringent across industries, reliable SO₂ measurement tools are critical for operational transparency, regulatory reporting, and process optimization. These analyzers support a wide range of applications, from power generation to petrochemical processing and municipal waste management.
Emissions and Stack bring this proven technology to businesses across North America. As a B2B leader, we provide intelligent SO₂ monitoring solutions tailored to our customers’ compliance, integration, and operational needs.

Case Studies
Case Study – U.S. Midwest Power Utility
A large coal-fired power station in Illinois required an upgrade to its emissions monitoring system to meet evolving EPA regulations. Emission and Stack Instruments supplied UV fluorescence SO₂ analyzers, which were integrated with their SCADA system. The upgrade reduced their environmental reporting errors by over 40% and allowed for better response to emission spikes.
Case Study – U.S. Petrochemical Plant, Texas
A Houston-based refinery implemented our analyzers to detect SO₂ emissions in real time. We provided a complete system with auto-calibration and cloud monitoring capabilities. The result was improved regulatory reporting and a 30% reduction in downtime caused by SO₂ threshold exceedance.
Case Study – Canadian Waste Management Facility, Ontario
A municipal waste-to-energy plant sought a solution for continuous SO₂ emissions tracking. Working with Emission and Stack Instruments, the facility deployed our analyzers across multiple stacks. Integration with their environmental dashboard enabled instant alerts, contributing to 100% compliance in their latest CEPA audit.
