What Is Monitoring in Large and Small Combustion Plants?

Combustion plant monitoring involves measuring emissions to ensure environmental compliance, optimise process performance and minimise the impact of pollutants on air quality.

 

Small combustion plants typically use periodic monitoring to verify compliance and maintain efficient operation. Large combustion plants are generally required to use Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS), providing real-time measurement of key pollutants and immediate visibility of plant performance.

 

Common parameters monitored include:

 

  • Sulphur dioxide (SO₂)
  • Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
  • Carbon monoxide (CO)
  • Particulate matter (PM)
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Why Is Emissions Monitoring Important?

Effective emissions monitoring helps operators:

 

  • Demonstrate regulatory compliance
  • Maintain safe and efficient operation
  • Detect process issues early
  • Reduce environmental impact
  • Optimise combustion performance

For large combustion plants, continuous monitoring enables rapid response to process changes and ensures compliance with stringent emissions legislation.
