The ability to breathe clean, unpolluted air is a basic human right — which we often take for granted. Yet for so many people around the world, it is a privilege and one that is constantly under threat as a result of natural and man-made pollution. Accurate and vigilant air quality monitoring is critical to ensuring the health and quality of life of populations and the very survival of our planet.
The implementation of an accurate and efficient continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) is critical to ensuring that emissions from your industrial combustion or incineration processes remain compliant with national ambient air quality standards and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) regulations.
Industries have a responsibility to comply with stringent environmental regulations to monitor and control criteria pollutants, while communities that live near these facilities need assurance that they are operated safely and comply with federal, state, and local regulations to protect their health and welfare. Continuous, reliable monitoring of gas or particulate matter concentration or emission rate helps facilitate effective combustion and manufacturing practices.
It is also crucial to maintaining ambient air quality standards and protecting the safety, health, and well- being of workers and neighboring populations.
Our Mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer by complying with clean air regulations.

Specifications of CEMS Analyzers:
Measurement Parameters: CEMS analyzers are designed to measure specific air pollutants, which can include gases such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM), and more.
Accuracy: These analyzers are known for their high accuracy in pollutant measurement, typically with low detection limits, ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory requirements.
Real-Time Monitoring: CEMS analyzers provide real-time data, enabling immediate response to emission fluctuations and better control over industrial processes.
Data Logging: They offer data logging capabilities, storing historical emissions data for reporting and analysis purposes.
Calibration: Regular calibration is essential to maintain accuracy. Many CEMS analyzers offer automatic calibration features and require periodic maintenance.
Sampling Method: CEMS analyzers use various sampling methods, including extractive, in-situ, and dilution techniques, depending on the application and pollutant being measured.
Communication: Integration with control systems and remote monitoring capabilities via digital communication protocols such as Modbus or Ethernet is common.
Compliance: CEMS analyzers should meet the relevant regulatory standards, such as those defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States or equivalent agencies in other regions.
Applications of CEMS Analyzers:
Power Plants: CEMS analyzers are extensively used in power generation facilities, including coal, natural gas, and renewable energy plants, to monitor emissions of NOx, SO2, CO, and other pollutants.
Industrial Processes: Various industries, such as chemical manufacturing, petrochemical, and cement production, utilize CEMS analyzers to measure emissions from their processes, ensuring compliance with emissions limits.
Waste Incineration: Incineration facilities use CEMS analyzers to monitor emissions of dioxins, furans, and other hazardous compounds.
Metal Processing: Metal smelting and refining facilities employ CEMS analyzers to track emissions of metals and other contaminants.
Oil and Gas Production: CEMS analyzers help oil and gas facilities monitor emissions from flaring, combustion, and other processes.
Automotive Emissions Testing: Laboratories and testing centers use CEMS analyzers to measure exhaust emissions during vehicle testing and certification.
Research and Development: CEMS analyzers are also used in environmental research to study air quality, source apportionment, and the effectiveness of pollution control measures.
Regulatory Compliance: They are essential for regulatory reporting and demonstrating adherence to emissions limits and standards imposed by environmental agencies.
CEMS analyzers are crucial tools for maintaining environmental compliance and minimizing the impact of industrial processes on air quality. Their accuracy, real-time monitoring capabilities, and adherence to regulatory standards make them invaluable in reducing industrial emissions and protecting the environment.
