Development of Continuous Emission Monitoring in India

Lumex Instruments participated in CEM India 2017 - Conference and Exhibition on Emissions Monitoring, which took part in New Delhi from September 26 to 28. The aim of this event is to improve environment compliance enforcement system in the country and offer technical and practicable solutions.

At the exhibition, Lumex Instruments together with our Indian partner TECHMARK Engineers & Consultants demonstrated Mercury monitoring toolkit which consists of mercury analyzer RA-915M with pyrolizer PYRO-915+ and OLM 30B sampling system. This toolkit is designed for efficient and cost-effective on-site determination of total and speciated mercury emissions in accordance with US EPA method 30B. It is also used for the mercury determination in coal, fly and bottom ash, gypsum, waste water, and other effluents.

Mercury Monitoring Toolkit provides rapid and direct on-site analysis without any complex and expensive sample conditioning compared to other techniques.

During the conference, our expert Dr. Nikolay Mashyanov presented a speech about the importance of mercury control in industrial emissions and the universality of Lumex Instruments toolkit that allows mercury determination in virtually all samples.

Background information

India is one of the world's fastest growing economies and is currently the third largest polluting country in the world. To solve this problem The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has released guidelines and started adopting Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) in India.

The CEM India conference follows on from the highly successful series of CEM events which have been held in Europe since 1997. This event brings together industries, regulators, integrators and manufacturers to share best practices for emissions monitoring.
