Probes
The CiSCO probe is supported entirely by the CEMS. No plant utilities are required at the stack or duct location. The straight-through design allows for clearing of anything that might plug or block the probe. We have shipped over 1,500 CiSCO probes to date and have only needed to replace half a dozen.
At the startup of CiSCO in 1985, all available sample probes were from Europe. The European designs were complex: cylindrical filters that are difficult to clean and expensive to replace, isolation and blowback solenoid valves that can fail and need maintenance, and an umbilical entry restricted to a single point. The CiSCO standard probe was designed and manufactured to combat these issues. The goal was a high-quality product with a small, simple design, and no moving parts. This was considered essential since probes are located hundreds of feet above ground, and accessible only by ladder.

Each CiSCO probe installation includes a custom-designed support system, typically a Probe Support Bundle and Heated Sample Line. The Probe Support Bundle includes a ¼" calibration tube, ½" polyethylene backflush/blowback tube, and a Power Triad for heated probes or probe enclosures. The Heated Sample Line is normally limited to a single sample tube, heated to prevent condensation of flue gases. Keeping these lines separate avoids the permeation of CO off-gassing into the calibration tube that other suppliers' designs are prone to, resulting in calibration gas contamination.

Shelters
CiSCO manufactures custom shelters ranging from 8' x 8' to 10' x 24', with various heights and wider dimensions available, designed specifically for CEMS housing.
Ammonia (NH3) Scrubber
When Ammonia (NH3) is present in the sample stream, a CiSCO NH3 Scrubber is installed to help protect the CEMS analyzers and maintain sample flow.
