Waste-to-energy generation has become very common, but the service life of zirconia analyzers, which monitor waste combustion conditions, is extremely short. The main reason for this is the highly complex composition of waste. The flue gas produced after waste combustion primarily consists of a series of toxic and harmful gases such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides, and dioxins. These gases, combined with the large amount of water vapor generated during incineration, can severely damage the sensors in the oxygen probe. Domestic zirconia analyzers typically only last 3-4 months in waste power plants, and even the longest-lasting ones need to be replaced within half a year.

　　The same situation occurs not only in waste-to-energy plants but also in enterprises handling solid waste, medical waste, and hazardous waste incineration. Even expensive imported zirconia analyzers cannot escape corrosion and damage within a short period. Some manufacturers, in an attempt to solve the corrosion problem, apply anti-corrosion agents to the zirconia cell of the probe. However, once applied, the oxygen response becomes sluggish, preventing plant operators from using accurate data to guide production and control kiln combustion. How can high temperature, water vapor, and strong corrosion be resolved? Waste power plants, solid waste, medical waste disposal, hazardous waste disposal, exhaust gas, and waste liquid incineration enterprises are all looking forward to a solution.

　　Finally, a solution is here! Technical personnel from Anhui Tianfen Instrument Co., Ltd., collaborated with alumni and professors from Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology and other universities, as well as field engineering technicians from waste power plants, solid waste and medical waste disposal facilities, and industrial kiln companies in places like Everbright, Nanchang, Jiaxing, and Yixing, to jointly research and develop a zirconia analyzer specifically for waste power plants.

　　The zirconia analyzer specifically designed for waste power plants adopts diaphragm electrolysis technology, integrating electro-osmosis and electrolysis to achieve sampling and anti-corrosion in one unit. Its principle is that when the dedicated zirconia analyzer operates, it automatically forms a series of photonic diaphragms around the oxygen probe sensor through electrolysis technology. This diaphragm can isolate high-intensity corrosive gases, while a high-temperature demister is installed to remove water vapor. The oxygen molecules to be measured directly enter the probe via electro-osmosis. This technology solves the corrosion problem of zirconia probes and extends the service life of zirconia analyzers. According to the actual usage in enterprises in Yixing and other places, the earliest installations have been operating normally for more than 10 months. A chief engineer working in a solid waste incineration plant exclaimed, "Even if this specialized zirconia analyzer only lasts ten months, our costs can be halved! It also saves a lot of procurement and maintenance time, at least doubling efficiency!" Based on the current test results from nearly ten sites (including waste-to-energy plants, solid waste incineration plants, medical waste disposal, high-temperature kilns, special steel pipe manufacturing, and a series of complex industrial conditions), the dedicated zirconia analyzer operates stably and reliably. It is conservatively estimated that after formal mass production, it can operate normally for at least 1-2 years, or even longer.

　　The successful development of the dedicated zirconia analyzer for waste power plants undoubtedly provides a huge boon to numerous waste power plants, solid waste, medical waste disposal, waste liquid, and exhaust gas incineration enterprises that are currently struggling with the short service life of zirconia analyzers. This project fills a domestic gap regarding the service life of oxygen analyzers used in waste incineration. It is the scientific research crystallization of the diligent efforts of the technical staff of Anhui Tianfen Instrument Co., Ltd. in collaboration with partner universities like NUIST and relevant units.
