Designing a successful PM CEMS correlation study

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20002143
This paper provides a detailed account of the requirements for performing a correlation test on particulate matter continuous emission monitor and a strategy for the successful operation of this monitoring technology. The purpose of this paper is to inform potential users of key technical issues for monitor installation and identify potential problem areas during the PM CEMS correlation testing. The benefits of this instrumentation are readily apparent when considering opportunities for process and air pollution control device optimization. The use of these instruments in several countries outside of the US, varying from engineering tools to ongoing compliance indicators, has been well documented for more than 20 years. Accordingly, PM CEMS are already considered a viable monitoring technology in the US. Many Stakeholders that will be affected by possible future regulatory mandates of these instruments are awaiting guidance on the process of testing and certifying a PM CEMS. Issues also remain for selecting the most appropriate instrument for use at specific facilities. This paper establishes a preliminary framework to outline the major technical and financial factors that must be considered when selecting a PM CEMS and installing it for the first time at your facility.
