New laser-based dust emission monitoring system
Abstract A new generation of continuous particulate matter concentration monitoring instruments is presented, covering a measuring range of 0 to 1000 mg/m3. The laser-based scattered light instrument gives an improved stability as well as excellent resolution in the low range. This enables high concentration measurement as well as especially low emission monitoring down to 0.01 mg/m3 with a ...

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 ...

The Pros and Cons of Predictive, Parametric, and Alternative Emissions Monitoring Systems for Regulatory Compliance
This paper closely examines the pros and cons of using predictive, parametric, and alternative monitoring techniques for regulatory compliance. While many predictive and parametric monitoring systems are less expensive to install and operate than CEM systems and demonstrate exceptional relative accuracy test results, this paper will provide the reader with a better understanding of the ...

Extension of the agency’s monitoring certification scheme MCERTS to include continuous ambient air quality monitoring instruments
ABSTRACT The Environment Agency launched its Monitoring Certification Scheme MCERTS for continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMs) for industrial stacks at CEM98. At the time the Agency referred to its plans to broaden the Scheme later to include other monitoring activities. This paper presents details of the proposed extension of MCERTS to cover continuous ambient air quality monitoring ...

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 ...

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 ...
