Trending Emissions Monitoring
Industrial emissions within the European Union are governed by the Industrial Emissions Directive, the IED. It is a framework directive largely relying on industry-specific reference documents on best available techniques, BREFs. The BREF for waste incinerators (WI) was revised during the 2010s and a new version became effective in December 2019. The expectations on industrial emissions control ...

A Case Story: LKAB and Gasmet’s CEMS Cooperation
The European Commission has adopted a number of changes in measurement requirements and emission limits for industrial plants. To limit the environmental impact of iron ore mining, leaders in the industry have been taking the necessary steps to keep track of the emissions their processes produce. LKAB, which specializes in the underground mining and production of iron-pellets, prioritizes the ...

Emissions monitoring on ships and an insight into the maritime directive
Shipping continues to grow for the purposes of trade and transportation. This growth is often close to densely populated shores, for example the port of Antwerp in Belgium, Hamburg in Germany and the Bosphorus in Turkey. Air emissions from the marine industry therefore are becoming more important and are increasingly subject to strict targets for reduction of oxides of sulphur (SOx) and nitrogen ...

What is the Role of Emission Monitoring System in Industry 4.0?
Sustainability and Industry 4.0 are trending concepts today. Following the guidance of Industry 4.0, the manufacturing industry is enjoying a revolution. To pursue Smart Manufacturing and the Internet of Things (IoT), manufacturers should advance their production process in terms of efficiency, sophistication, and integrity. And emission monitoring, among all the production processes, is vital ...

Why Measure Flue Gas Velocity?
Many industrial processes release flue gases to the atmosphere. Under European Directives the majority of those are classed as emission sources and therefore require continuous emission monitoring. European standards for monitoring pollutants and flow for CEMS (Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems) are already in place and other countries usually follow them to some extent. The CODEL VCEM5100 ...

Continuous Emissions Monitoring – What, Why, and How?
In an ideal world, combustion merely gives emissions of water and carbon dioxide (CO2). Water is a non-issue while CO2 nowadays is looked upon with concern, giving its key role in the global climate changes. However, the issues with emissions do not stop there.The thermal processes also generate nitrogen oxides, primarily NO. Depending on the fuel composition, the type of combustion process, and ...

Emissions Monitoring through Long-term Sampling
Emissions monitoring is often carried out by continuously operating instruments providing measurement results in close-to real time. The data can then be averaged and compared to emission limits. Using this kind of instruments is not only a possibility but often a legislative requirement. This is often the case for many of the “usual suspects” such as NOX, SO2, CO, NH3, HCl, and dust, ...
