CEMS Optimization Audits
Because of sources involved in the SO2 & NOX trading programs, CEMS data has become more than an availability issue; it is now a monetary issue.
Many systems are judged on data availability, and not on data accuracy, causing some sources to unknowingly overreport emissions.
C.E.M. Solutions can optimize your CEMS to enhance its operation and accuracy. Our personnel have the knowledge and experience, through dealing with many varieties of CEM systems, to look past the data availability and into the operation of the system.
Common errors are found in the sample conditioning systems, biases in dilution systems, sampling locations, and sample pumps.
We can determine how to minimize overreporting and data unavailability by providing recommendations in the following areas:
• QA/QC procedures and guidelines
• Operational practices
• Maintenance practices
• Equipment design/operation
• Bias related issues
• Temperature, Barometric Pressure, and Gas Molecular Weight compensation
