The Growth of Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS)

Reducing harmful emissions is crucial, raising the requirement for continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS)  globally.

Industrial companies generating emissions worldwide are monitored to keep pollutants within regulated limits. Countries have laws and regulations that monitor and control emissions. The need is driven by stricter regulation and enforcement and by the public insisting that companies operate sustainably.

Emission Monitoring Technology for a Changing World

ABB is a leader in emission monitoring providing industry with the technology that keeps air clean and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. The ABB CEMS complies with regulations and measures emissions from stacks around the world.

Waste incineration facilities like cement plants have stringent emission regulations that require intensive monitoring. The ABB ACF5000, based on FTIR technology, provides the perfect answer with the ability to measure 15 components simultaneously.

The high-resolution Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer selectively measures infrared active gas molecules with increased stability and sensitivity. The FTIR technology eliminates drift and repeated adjustments to the spectrometer. The expensive and unsafe requirement of stocking test gases is removed.  

The ACF5000 requires only a software upgrade to adjust for new mandatory components or emission limits.

The ABB EasyLine range is ideal when measurements are restricted to carbon monoxide (monitoring only) and nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and oxygen oxides to standardize emission to a reference concentration.

ABB provides a selection of NDIR, UV, paramagnetic FID, and Laser technologies that use Uras, Limas, Magnos, Fidas, and LS25 components. All the gas analyzer components are easily combined with the Advance Optima or EasyLine ranges except for the LS25.

Certifications and Geographical Reach

Every ABB analyzer used for CEMS is independently tested and certified by TÜV or MCERTS in Europe.

ABB is a global leader in emission control with 70,000 systems in more than 50 countries serving 15 percent of the world market.
