Since the first meeting in 1997, the CEM exhibition and conference has established itself as Europe’s leading event for air emission and air quality monitoring. The 16th International CEM meeting will take place from 24th to 26th September in Slovenia`s vibrant capital, Ljubljana.   

Many people new to management systems are under the impression that an ISO standard is a set of rules that dictates how an organisation should go about its business. That is not correct.

An ISO standard is the document which contains a set of requirements (with some occasional guidance) for the framework of your management system. It is not a set of procedures and targets - they are for you to establish in a way which is relevant to your organisation and the context in which you opera

The methods for assessing the levels of salts in Water are described in the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC International, 19TH Edition 2012 Volume 1. Reagecon as one of the largest producers of Physical and Chemical Standards and Certified Reference Materials worldwide, recognise that the growth in the use of such standards requires an innovative approach to the presentation of our products. Enclosed in a single catalogue you will find all the standards, reagents and indicator solutions

Any installation that contains combustion plant with an aggregated thermal input greater than 50 MW is regulated under the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) which requires that Best Available Techniques are applied to emissions control. Individual plant with a thermal input greater than 50 MW are regarded as Large Combustion

Plant and additional provisions apply, including mandatory Emission Limit Values that defi ne a minimum compliance standard during normal operation. A separate

The type approval and certifi cation of automated measuring systems is since several years an important topic for the manufacturers of automated measuring systems. In the UK and Germany national certifi cation systems and minimum requirements for CEMS were implemented long time ago. In the year 2004 a uniform system for the quality assurance of automated systems was introduced in Europe with the publication of the EN 14181. With the implementation of the EN 15267 part 1 to 3 in the years 2008

The increasing use of indigenous renewable energy sources (RES) for energy aims to meet the targets set up by the European Union (EU) regarding energy and climate change policies. Thus, biomass combustion has become more and more attractive. In 2012, biomass already represented 55% of the entire renewable share in the primary energy production in Portugal. Although the emissions from biomass origin fuels combustion are considered CO2-neutral, fine particle emission is a major drawback for the

Monitoring of emissions is controlled by the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), which sets out the requirements for emitters to meet. There are standards in place that, when followed, allow the operators to meet the IED requirements. One of these, EN14181:2014, setting out the quality assurance requirements for continuous emission monitoring, has recently been revised. It is assumed that any operator following all the relevant standards (EN15267, EN14181, etc.) will produce data that meets

The VW automotive emissions testing scandal has signifi cant environmental implications due to the mismatch between expected and actual emissions of NOX . Many consider that the ultimate responsibility lies with VW on the issue, however it is important to consider the role of the regulator in supporting an industry backed testing regime which does not absolutely refl ect actual emissions.

While it is very unlikely that such large emissions scandal could arise in the industrial emissio
