Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS)

Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) are automated tools used by industrial facilities to regularly measure the amount of pollutants, like gases and particles, released into the environment from stacks or smokestacks. They gather real-time data, ensuring that emissions stay within legal limits. CEMS consists of sensors that detect specific pollutants, data collection systems, and analysis tools. This continuous monitoring helps companies comply with environmental regulations, identify potential issues early, and demonstrate accountability by providing accurate, ongoing emission reports to regulators and the public.
