Читать книгу Continuous Emission Monitoring - James A. Jahnke - Страница 22

The technology of continuous emissions monitoring has not been static. The use of CEM systems for allowance trading programs and emissions enforcement programs, the demands for increased system availability, and advances in data handling and reporting have led to more sophisticated systems with better reliability. CEM systems have advanced considerably over 50 years of development, with improved sampling techniques, analyzers, and data processing systems being integrated into today’s systems to meet the challenges posed by new requirements. Also, by implementing CEM system quality assurance programs and by properly managing the monitoring programs, high system availability can be achieved. This high availability is a necessity today, where inaccurate data or missing data can incur both regulatory and economic penalties.
