What is Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS)?

CEMS....

A continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) is the total equipment necessary for the determination of a gas or particulate matter concentration or emission rate using pollutant analyzer measurements and a conversion equation, graph, or computer program to produce results in units of the applicable emission limitation or standard.

CEMS are required under some of the Clean Air Regulations 1974 (revised 2014) issued by Department of Environment (DOE) regulations for either continual compliance determinations or determination of exceedances of the standards. The individual subparts of the DOE rules specify the reference methods that are used to substantiate the accuracy and precision of the CEMS. Performance Specifications are used for evaluating the acceptability of the CEMS at the time of or soon after installation and whenever specified in the regulations.


Quality assurance procedures are used to evaluate the effectiveness of quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) procedures and the quality of data produced by any CEMS that is used for determining compliance with the emission standards on a continuous basis as specified in the applicable regulation
