The Working Principles of Continuous Emission Monitoring
Continuous emission monitoring—sometimes abbreviated to CEM—is a requirement established by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure compliance with the appropriate emission standards. It is not mandated for all stack emission monitoring applications, but it is necessary for companies that need to demonstrate continual compliance or to determine exceedances of standards ...

Update on inclusion of manual stack emissions monitoring within MCERTS
ABSTRACT Proposals by the Environment Agency to extend its Monitoring Certification Scheme:MCERTS to manual stack emissions monitoring were published in June 1999. The proposals provide for the establishment of a Register of MCERTS qualified personnel and monitoring organisations. Registration would be based on third party certification of personnel and accreditation of monitoring organisations ...

Continous Emission Monitoring (CEMs)
Presented in Track B1: CEMs at EUEC 2011,January 31 Phoenix, Arizona B1.1 | Particulate CEM for wet FGD plant William Averdieck | Managing Director, PCME Ltd The use of Particulate CEMS after Wet Flue Gas Desulpherisation (FGD) plant has new relevance in North America due to the low levels (typically 1- 5mg/m3 of submicron particulate)and the presense of water droplets and steam ...

Multiplexed Monitoring – To be Doubt or Not?
There are several types of continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) systems. The technical designs may be very different, but they usually have a few things in common. The instruments providing the measurement results do not come cheap, and the systems require maintenance. However, if monitoring is to be done in more than one gas duct, then there might be a way to save costs, multiplexing. But ...

Continuous Emission Monitoring Ensuring Cleaner Air and Better Safety
Emission monitoring refers to the on-going processes of collecting the data on the gases and components released in the air by industrial plants. In this article we will discuss the ABC of emission monitoring at a general level: What is emission monitoring? What needs to be taken into consideration when planning a well-oiled measuring process? What Is Emission Monitoring? By regular and ...

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 ...

Congestion charge = better air
With the Government giving the green light for a congestion charge in Manchester, the floodgates have now been opened for the controversial scheme to be adopted around the country. But while there’s a lot of talk about the charge being another tax on drivers already struggling to cope with rising fuel prices, little has been said about the positive impact on the air we breathe. With concern about ...

An Opening of a Dialogue - European Commission Meets Manufacturers
Gasmet is an active participant in the preparation of European standards for emissions monitoring. On the 12th of September, we participated in the first official meeting between the European Commission and European emissions monitoring equipment manufacturers to discuss Directive-level issues. Read what this meeting was all about and what was its outcome. Meeting with Measurement Equipment ...

CEMS II e Increases Flexibility in Continuous Emissions Monitoring
Gasmet’s vision is to live on a planet with less emissions. To fulfill this mission, we manufacture reliable and complete continuous emissions monitoring systems. We specialize in two different kinds of monitoring systems: 1) Continuous Mercury Monitoring system and 2) Continuous Emissions Monitoring system for other gas compounds. In this article we will introduce the latter: CEMS II e ...

Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems for Industry
Across the globe, environmental regulatory authorities require manufacturing industries to monitor their pollutant emission rates. The most common means of measuring emissions is with continuous emissions monitoring systems, which are a packaged system of gas analyzers, gas sampling system, temperature, and flow and opacity monitors which are then integrated in with a system for data acquisition. ...

Emission Monitoring in Tunnel - Case Study
Overview With the massive influx of Pilgrims to Mecca every year, the Abdul Aziz Tunnel in Jeddah faces excessive pollution during the holy month of Ramadan. The authorities thus had to equip the tunnel with air monitoring devices to monitor the pollution level. Oizom stationed Polludrone throughout the tunnel to observe the vehicular emission. The analyzed data helped the authorities to ...

Continuous Emissions Monitoring of Total Mercury
Over the past decades, mercury (Hg, quicksilver) has gone from being a versatile commodity used in everything from thermometers to herbicides, to a partially banned substance, which name alone signals environmental issues and health concerns. Today, much use of mercury has been phased out in favour of more environmental- and health-friendly substances, and the remaining circulation of mercury is ...

Managing continuous emissions monitoring systems
With recent rulemaking governing compliance determinations in regards to the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and highly reactive volatile organic compounds (HRVOCs), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) required more frequent monitoring which resulted in the installation of more monitoring systems at the facility. This large Gulf Coast refinery decided to utilize the ...

Who Needs Continuous Emissions Monitoring?
Continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) is about monitoring air pollutants generated by a specific activity and emitted to the ambient air, typically through a tall stack or other exhaust pipe. The “activity” can be some industrial process like a power plant or a waste incinerator, but it can also be on a much smaller scale such as a car equipped with an internal-combustion engine. The ...

Real-time air emissions monitoring
Due to increasingly rigorous requirements for regulatory and permit compliance, organizations are seeking more from all compliance support systems. The ability to expand systems to encompass new, or migrate existing, regulatory calculations used to monitor environmental performance is vital. Planning strategically for a scalable and sustainable system has been shown to reduce overall compliance ...

New VDI guideline 4201 - Digital communication for emission monitoring systems at regulated sources
Introduction Data transmission between AMS (Automated Measuring Systems) and DAHS (Data Acquisition and Handling Systems) at regulated sources usually uses today 4 … 20 mA-outputs for the measuring signal and digital contacts for the status signals. The analogue data transmission is simple, but has drawbacks e.g. to high cost for wiring or limited measuring ranges. Until recently, there ...
