What is an emission monitoring system?
Emission monitoring systems collect and report data about gases and other measurable outputs from industrial processes. The exact setup depends on the facility, regulations and reporting requirements.
Common approaches
Continuous monitoring
Continuous systems are installed for ongoing measurement and reporting.
Predictive monitoring
Predictive systems estimate emissions using validated operating data and models.
Planning factors
- Required pollutants or metrics
- Reporting frequency
- Calibration and maintenance
- Data retention
- Integration with plant systems
Implementation checklist
Start with the applicable compliance framework, identify the measurement points, define data ownership, and then select equipment and software that can meet those requirements.
