The first measurement campaign in METECH was completed in early May. During the campaign, the SO2 trace-level measurement method that was developed during the project was successfully tested. The measurements took place at Wärtsilä’s Sustainable Technology Hub in Vaasa, where VTT and FMI did online measurements with trace level SO2 analyzer and Gasmet’s FTIR. For a more detailed overview of the measurement campaign, please see this post.
