Abstract
Environmental and health concern has increased the importance to monitor and control emissions from combustion processes like toxic gases and particulate matter. The SiC-FET technology offers versatile and powerful sensors for gas detection also in combination with combustion of particles. Emission control has been demonstrated e.g. for small and medium sized power plants and diesel exhausts. The potential danger of nanoparticles makes such detectors interesting not only for detection of concentration and size of particles but also detection of the content of particles. The SiC-FET technology lends itself for smart sensing and smart data evaluation, which largely improves the information from such a sensor system. Here we report progress on the sensor technology itself, the application of a sensor system as an alarm for ammonia emission and preliminary results of particle detection.
