CONTINUOUS EMISSIONS MONITORING

Presentation Abstract

Continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) is instrumental in ensuring that the mandated reductions of SO2 and NOx under the Acid Rain Program are achieved. While traditional emissions limitation programs have required facilities to meet specific emissions rates, the Acid Rain Program requires an accounting of each ton of emissions from each regulated unit. Compliance is then determined through a direct comparison of total annual SO2 emissions reported by CEM and allowances held for the unit.

CEM is the continuous measurement of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere in exhaust gases from combustion or industrial processes. Regulatory bodies have established requirements for the continuous monitoring of SO2, volumetric flow, NOx, diluent gas, and opacity for units regulated under the Acid Rain Program. In addition, procedures for monitoring or estimating carbon dioxide (CO2) are specified. The CEM rule also contains requirements for equipment performance specifications, certification procedures, and recordkeeping and reporting.

Things you should know about CEM

• Why is CEM Necessary? What are the Monitoring Requirements? 

• Who Do these Requirements Apply To? 

• How Will Emissions Data be Calculated for Periods of Missing Data? 

• What Are the Certification Requirements? What Quality Assurance/Quality Control Procedures are Required? 

• What Are the Deadlines for Compliance? 

• What Are the Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements?
