Continuous Emission Monitoring

A guide to the field of continuous emission monitoring (CEM) addressing current technologies and practices in the monitoring of pollutants emitted from industrial stacks. This book should enable environmental engineers to assess the operating characteristics of commercially available technologies.

As part of regulatory programs such as the new Clean Air Act, industries that emit pollutants from stationary sources are required to monitor these emissions and to keep them within specified limits. A complete guide to the field of Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM), this guide addresses all current technologies and practices in the monitoring of pollutants emitted from industrial stacks. Taking the viewpoint of both a purchaser of CEM System and inspector/auditor, this book should enable environmental engineers to assess the operating characteristics of commercially available technologies and to evaluate them for specific applications. Extensive examples will aid readers in understanding and performing calculations or reviewing calculations made by others regarding the conversions of instrument data into units of emission standards, performance specifications, F factor calculations, and methods of averaging emissions data. This book should be of interest to civil and environmental engineers.
