ISO 10396 Stack Continuous Emission Monitoring Testing
The ISO 10396 standard provides a framework for the continuous monitoring of emissions from combustion systems. This service ensures that energy systems, particularly those in power plants and industrial facilities, meet stringent environmental regulations by providing real-time data on emissions.
Our expertise lies in conducting tests according to this international standard, ensuring accurate measurements of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), particulate matter (PM), and carbon monoxide (CO). These tests are crucial for maintaining compliance with environmental regulations and reducing the operational impact on the environment.
The process begins with a comprehensive review of the facility's existing monitoring systems. Our team ensures that all equipment is calibrated accurately to meet ISO 10396 standards. Specimen preparation involves collecting emissions samples in real-time, which are then analyzed using advanced instruments such as gas analyzers and particulate matter counters.
The testing process itself is highly technical, involving the deployment of continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS). These systems continuously measure and record pollutant levels, providing detailed reports that help facilities identify areas for improvement. Reporting includes not only raw data but also trends over time, which can be used to optimize operational processes.
Our services extend beyond mere compliance; we offer advice on how to reduce emissions further through process modifications or equipment upgrades. By adhering strictly to ISO 10396 standards, our clients gain a competitive edge in terms of regulatory compliance and environmental responsibility.
| Key Testing Parameters | Instruments Used | Acceptance Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) | Gas Analyzers | <35 ppm for coal-fired plants, <10 ppm for natural gas plants |
| Nitrogen Oxides (NOₓ) | Gas Analyzers | <200 ppm for coal-fired plants, <100 ppm for natural gas plants |
| Particulate Matter (PM) | Particle Counters | <5 mg/m³ |
| Carbon Monoxide (CO) | Gas Analyzers | <10 ppm |
The ISO 10396 standard is widely recognized and accepted globally, making it a cornerstone for emissions monitoring in the energy sector. By leveraging our deep understanding of this standard, we provide reliable testing services that are essential for maintaining compliance with international environmental regulations.
