Emission monitoring

A continuous emission monitoring system uses volume flow measurements devices, gas and dust analyzers to monitor the prescribed limits that apply to combustion systems. These analyzers, which are often combined as a system solution, send measured values to data acquisition systems, which then standardize, classify, and store these data in compliance with legal requirements. The "automated measuring systems (AMS)" used in emission monitoring must meet certain standards, for example, DIN EN15267 and DIN EN14181 in Europe. Depending on the specific application, it may also be necessary to comply with explosion-protection requirements (ATEX).
