Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS)

Why to measure the emissions?

Emission measurement defines the content of the impurities in flue gas. Such impurities can be e.g. sulphuric oxide (SO2), nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide (NOx), hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF) and total organic carbon (TOC).

In EC-countries the monitoring of emissions has been stipulated in the environmental permission of each plant which is based on the Directives and regulations of European Community. There are two main Directives valid in EC: Directive 2001/80/EC (LCP-directive) and Directive 2000/76/EC (Waste Incineration-directive). These directives have been completed with various Quality Assurance Standards, e.g. standard EN-14181, Stationary source emissions - Quality assurance of automated measuring systems.

In other countries the local regulations and legislations prevails.

Kontram

Kontram has over 20 years experience of design and manufacture of Gas Conditioning Systems, mainly for CEMS. Kontram has installed systems in almost 20 countries all over the world.
