Selection of Particulate Monitors
The installation and operation of continuous particulate emission monitors in industrial processes has become well developed and common practice in industrial stacks and ducts over the past 30 years reflecting regulatory monitoring requirements. It supports requirements originating from LAPPC (Local Air Pollution Prevention and Control), IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control), WID ...

Air Particulate Monitoring – PM1
What is PM1 “PM” (Particulate Matter) is not a single pollutant but refers to a complex mixture of solids and aerosols. Which are of varying shape, size, and chemical composition. Which may contain many chemical species like organic compounds, inorganic ios, metallic compounds, elementary carbon, etc. These atmospheric particles are definable by their diameter for air quality ...

What is the difference between A PM2.5 Monitor and a PM10 Monitor?
Ambient air particulate monitoring is of more interest than ever before. The reason is new public awareness of the health effects of small particles suspended in the air, in combination with increased vehicle fleets emitting such particles. “PM” stands for particulate matter. The number (usually 10 or 2.5) indicates the size of the particulates monitored. PM10 refers to particles ...

Particulate Matter monitoring – PM10
What is PM10? “PM”, Particulate Matter, is not a single pollutant, but refers to a complex mixture of solids and aerosols of varying shape, size, and chemical composition and may contain many chemical species like organic compounds, inorganic ions, metallic compounds, elementary carbon, etc. So, these atmospheric particles are defined by their diameter for air quality regulatory ...

Particulate CEMs for wet and dry FGD applications
Introduction This paper overviews the challenges of monitoring particulate in wet and dry stack conditions found after wet and dry FGD arrestment plant fitted to coal fired power plant. It describes the techniques used for monitoring particulate in these applications and provides results and incites from the operation and calibration of PCME’s wet stack PMCEM in a wet FGD installation. ...

The Use of Particulate Emission Monitors to Support Arrestment Plant Operation and Upkeep
The operation of filtration type arrestment plant can be optimised by the effective use of Particulate Emission Monitors (eg Filter Leak Monitors and Filter Performance Monitors). Particulate Emission Monitors are installed throughout the broad spectrum of industrial processes to satisfy regulations (IPPC, Part B Guidance Notes, WID and LCPD) for emission limit enforcement. In addition, where ...

Air Quality Monitoring
Why monitor air quality? Well, to monitor is to know. Everything else is just more or less qualified guesses. International, national and local air quality targets and limits are also tied to monitoring results. What is Air Quality? How is air quality characterised? It is quite common to find air quality indexes, where the ranges are divided in sections indicating “good”, ...

Trend Analysis of Total and Viable Particle Monitoring Data and Definition of Alert and Action Limits
Abstract Routine review and analysis of environmental monitoring data for trends at an appropriate frequency is essential to aid in the interpretation of process stability and assess overall environmental control performance. Appropriate alert and action limits should be set for the results of particulate and microbiological monitoring. It’s possible to use the limits reported in FDA ...

Northern Sonoma County APCD Healdsburg, CA - Case Study
In 2009 when Air Quality Specialist George Erdman took over management of his air district’s four station monitoring network located north of the SF Bay Area in Sonoma County, it was clear the entire 35 year old network needed to be overhauled. Not only did equipment need replacing but the way in which data were collected, reviewed and reported needed modernizing as well. After extensive ...

Validation of a new method for in-stack measurement of particulate matter emissions from large stationary sources
Abstract A new method for measuring particulate matter in stationary sources has been developed by Rupprecht & Patashnick Co. (R&P). This new method, named the TEOM® Series 7000 Source Particulate Monitor, uses R&P TEOM technology to provide in situ, filterbased, direct mass measurement of particulate matter in stationary source emissions. The performance of this new monitoring ...

Development of a real-time stack particulate mass monitor
Abstract Presently, particulate emissions from stacks are measured by sample and weigh methodology, which despite their status as ‘reference methods’ are often slow and sometimes not very repeatable. These methods use comparisons of before and after filter weighing to yield an average particulate concentration for a given sample period. The procedures require a great deal of care to ...
