How conditions affect cookies and air pollution control solutions
Chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorite treats. Butter, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla, and, of course, chocolate chips. Combine the ingredients together and you get a delicious cookie. Somehow, using the same ingredients the cookies do not always turn out the same. Sometimes they are thinner and crispier. Other times, they are soft and chewy. After watching cooking shows, I have come to ...

Modest Growth for Air Pollution Control Market
The Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 created a wave of optimism in the air pollution control (APC) business. The subsequent decade, however, resulted in backwash of disappointment for APC companies as the market for stationary source equipment declined from 1-4% per year from 1993-1998. Growth returned to the APC market, however, with 1999 and 2000 characterized as 'good' years by the Institute ...

Crazy sulphur dioxide needs gentle sulphur dioxide sensor to appease
Background- The most important corrosive gas in the atmosphere is SO2, which accelerates the corrosion process of most metals. My country is the largest coal producer and consumer in the world. SO2 pollution is very serious. In some areas, the SO2 content in the atmosphere exceeds that of the environment. 60% of capacity. Therefore, for SO2 monitoring we will use accurate and sensitive ...

How has MCERTS impacted CEMS?
Industrial process operators that produce gas emissions to atmosphere are regulated by the Environment Agency. Monitoring of these emissions ensures that the environment is being properly protected and helps them manage their own impact on the environment. Under the Environmental Permitting Regulations, these sites are required to continually measure emission parameters from their chimney-stacks ...

New boiler MACT and affiliated rules proposed
EPA proposed three related rules (with final rules expected by December 16, 2010), intended to reduce the emission of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters as well as commercial and industrial solid waste incinerators. Simultaneously, it also proposed a definition of solid waste that could potentially affect some units currently ...

Proposed boiler MACT sets aggressive emission limits
On June 4, 2010, U.S. EPA proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters at both major and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. EPA proposed separate rules for units at major sources of HAP emissions (greater than 10 tons per year [tpy] of any single HAP and/or greater than ...

New European BAT Conclusions for Waste Incineration – it’s Time to Monitor Total Mercury
If you are in the waste incineration business, you might have heard that there are new and stricter emission regulations in the pipe within the European Union. Those regulations were made official just recently. But how does it all tie together? Let’s dig a bit deeper and connect the dots from “IED” to “THg”! IED and BREF The environmental impact of industrial ...

Mapping Quality Assurance Requirements for Continuous Mercury Monitoring Systems
The Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) requires coal-fired electric power plants to install and operate mercury continuous monitoring systems by December 31, 2008 such that they will have 12 months of “submittable” data by 1 January 2010. For all practical purposes, “submittable data” are “quality-assured data” that meet the extensive quality control requirements cited in the various regulations that ...

Field demonstration of a near-real-time multi-metals ambient fence line monitor case study
National emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are required under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act to limit the release of specified HAPs. Permitting, monitoring and enforcement of these emission limits are an integral part of managing air quality to protect human health and the environment. However, this is difficult and highly uncertain in the case of fugitive emissions ...

VOC monitoring on stationary sources: from environmental policies to technical solutions
In the past, the primary origin of local air pollution has been emissions from stationary sources. These sites include power generating plants, oil refineries, chemical plants, steel factories, cement and glass manufacturing companies, space heating, and many other industries. Pollutants are emitted into the air from these plants through fossil fuel combustion, chemical processes, and the ...

Global solution: Gas and particulate analysis in Cement industry
Cement plants are increasingly required to install continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS). While these represent a significant financial outlay, a range of other factors also need to be considered when selecting a suitable CEMS. To the inexperienced, selecting a suitable CEM can mistakenly be considered as simply ensuring that the applicable national regulations (eg MACT in the USA, ...
