This article describes how a consultant team used surveys to develop a manual for state-of-the-art CEM systems at Allegheny Power System installations. In 1991, Allegheny Power Systems (APS) operating companies contracted an engineering consultant to install new continuous emission monitoring (CEM) systems on all power plant stacks. This planned action was to fulfill the APS goal of meeting present and future demand for electric power while protecting the environment. Black and Veatch, the engineering consultant chosen, programmed the addition of 63 CEM systems to 25 units in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland. Each system was designed to meet gas monitoring requirements of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA).
