Air Emission Equipment – ECS Instruments Pty Ltd

ECS combines the best available equipment from around the world to provide the most sophisticated and reliable, ‘fit-for-purpose’ instrumentation and air-monitoring equipment ranging from individual emission analysers to sophisticated ‘turnkey’ networks. Our long-standing philosophy is two-fold:

• the provision of state-of-the-art equipment
• and instrumentation and a total commitment to the needs of clients from project conception to implementation and beyond.

With the experience gained by ECS in calibration and servicing, we are able to supply and install equipment specifically designed for individual client requirements. We can also provide on-going quality assurance programs that assist in the measurement and collection of high quality data.

Through our consultancy work, clients can confidentially select equipment, methodology, and or verification, which meet their needs.

Staff and Equipment Training

ECS offers the best comprehensive range of instrumentation, analysers and monitors for continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) from individual analysers through to entire systems, with fully integrated online monitoring and management systems.

Staff training courses focusing on air emissions monitoring, air quality monitoring, and air quality software are conducted and can be tailored for individual client requirements.

A wide range of additional process sensors including oxygen, temperature, pressure, flow can also be provided along with advanced signal processing systems, I/O's and state-of-the-art data collection, analysis and reporting software.

Air emissions may include both gaseous and particulate pollutants. Particulate material in gaseous streams typically occurs as a non-homogeneous suspension of a wide range of particle sizes. Sampling for particulates is usually carried out isokinetically.

Gaseous pollutants can be regarded as being a homogenous mixture and it is generally a relatively simple matter to obtain representative samples.

The main problem associated with sampling gaseous pollutants occur with fairly reactive gases and materials used in the construction of the sampling train.

ECS is able to complement the monitoring of source emissions with computer modelling of the dispersion of pollutants to assess the effects of emissions on the surrounding environment.

Continuous Emissions Monitoring (often abbreviated to CEM) is the term commonly used to describe instantaneous or real-time environmental monitoring of gases and particulate matter that pass through flues, ducts, chimneystacks and the like.

Continuous Emissions Monitoring requires the use of Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (often referred to as CEMS). CEMS normally incorporate four main parts -- sampling system, analysers, and calibration system, data logging/signals handling systems.
