Items related to Continuous Emission Monitoring: Theory and Practice
Synopsis
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.

From the Back Cover
Continuous Emission Monitoring, Second Edition is the most comprehensive source of information on the latest technical and regulatory issues that are affecting the design, application, and certification of CEM systems. It provides a thorough discussion of CEM systems, how they work, their advantages and drawbacks, and the regulatory requirements that govern their operation. Equally suitable for an environmental engineer in a plant or control agency, a CEM user, or an inspector/auditor, this book makes it possible to assess the operating characteristics of commercial systems and to evaluate them for a specific application. Thoroughly referenced, with numerous illustrations, it features:
- A comprehensive review of regulations, with clear information on changes
- New measurement techniques, designs for "smart" analyzers, and advanced monitoring approaches
- New chapters on flow rate and continuous particulate monitors
- Techniques for recordkeeping, generating reports, and using data acquisition and handling systems
- Quality assurance/quality control programs
CEMs are becoming a fact of life in regulatory programs throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Environmental professionals as well as vendors and manufacturers will turn to Continuous Emission Monitoring for clear, up–to–date information on the technical and regulatory issues shaping this dynamic field.
