Continuous Emission Monitoring

By James A. Jahnke

Book Overview

Continuous Emission Monitoring, Second Edition is the most comprehensive source of information on the latest technical and regulatory issues that are affecting the design, application, and certification of CEM systems. It provides a thorough discussion of CEM systems, how they work, their advantages and drawbacks, and the regulatory requirements that govern their operation. Equally suitable for an environmental engineer in a plant or control agency, a CEM user, or an inspector/auditor, this book makes it possible to assess the operating characteristics of commercial systems and to evaluate them for a specific application. Thoroughly referenced, with numerous illustrations, it features:
* A comprehensive review of regulations, with clear information on changes
* New measurement techniques, designs for "smart" analyzers, and advanced monitoring approaches
* New chapters on flow rate and continuous particulate monitors
* Techniques for recordkeeping, generating reports, and using data acquisition and handling systems
* Quality assurance/quality control programs


CEMs are becoming a fact of life in regulatory programs throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Environmental professionals as well as vendors and manufacturers will turn to Continuous Emission Monitoring for clear, up-to-date information on the technical and regulatory issues shaping this dynamic field.

Customer Reviews

Excellent introduction to CEM

A complete CEM system is sufficiently complex to require specialized companies for packaging the analyzers and sample conditioning equipment for use at most facilities. Obtaining information about the various analyzers is generally not difficult (vendor manuals, etc.) but the sample conditioning and control equipment are often black box items to most people. This book explains the theory behind the analyzers but also digs deeper to explain the entire system, from extraction to analysis and even reporting. An excellent all around text for an introduction to CEM.

Valuable information in one source

This book has all the practical information that otherwise takes years to collect. I recommend it to any engineer involved in design and maintenance of CEMS equipment.

It's the Continuous Emission Monitoring Bible...

The author, one of the most important person in this subject, got an general but complete approaching in all techniques used nowadays, and in several practical aspects that will help the engineer in the problems faced with designing, inattalation, operation and maintenance of this systems. Besides this, there are interestings explanations concerning to the principles of measurement of each system. This book has been the best souce of research in my post graduation thesis
