The primary purpose of CEMS is to ensure compliance with environmental regulations by tracking emissions of pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and other pollutants.
CEMS typically consist of various sensors and instruments that measure emissions in real time, data acquisition systems for collecting and storing the measurements, and software for analyzing and reporting the emissions data. The collected data is used by regulatory agencies to assess the environmental impact of industrial activities and to ensure that emissions remain within permissible limits.
In the context of the cement industry, CEMS are crucial because cement manufacturing is known to produce significant amounts of air pollutants due to the combustion of fossil fuels, the calcination of raw materials, and other processes involved in cement production. By implementing CEMS, cement plants can closely monitor their emissions and take corrective actions if emissions exceed legal limits. This helps improve air quality and reduces the environmental impact of the industry.
