Continuous Emission Monitoring System – A Bird’s Eye View
Continuous emission monitoring system also known as CEMS is a system that monitors water and air in real-time. It comprises analytical components, conditioning, and sampling aside from a software application that is designed in such a way as to provide continuous measurements of air and water samples in real-time. It is a useful instrument for measuring air quality, air ambiance, and pollution. It helps in controlling the same and generating reports.
How dependable is continuous emissions monitoring?
The instrument ensures that there is data accuracy, minimum manual interference, high monitoring frequency, better and enhanced transparency, and sturdy regulatory monitoring so that the pollution control regimen is strengthened.
As such, CEMS encompasses those activities that aim at determining and reporting the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere from stationary sources. A few of the industries that are required to continuously monitor the emissions and maintain a record of the same include the following industries-
- Coal-fired plants
- Oil-fired plants
- Biomass power plants
- Kraft pulp mills
- Cement plants
- Waste incinerators
After monitoring, the result has to be recorded and submitted to the environmental control agencies operating locally.
