Coal fired power plants

Coal fired power plants emit a variety of emissions most notably Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The burning process of coal releases CO2 as a major by product, along with other compounds due to impurities within the coal. These pollutants include: NOx, SOx, CO, CO2, Hg and particulates (TSP, PM10, PM2.5).  

Nuclear power plants

Nuclear power plants, though not have direct gaseous emissions, may be required to undergo environmental monitoring as a precaution for any radioactive leaks that may occur. Monitoring of ambient particulates around nuclear reactors is considered good practice for the early detection of a radioactive leak.  

Gas Turbine power plants

Gas turbine power plants have three main emissions Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx). The burning process of gas produces CO and CO2 as major by products, along with NOx. The use of catalysts (ammonia) reduce the concentration of NOX but can also become an emission source that needs to be monitored.  

Oil fired power plant monitoring

Oil fired power plants emit a variety of emissions most notably Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon monoxide (CO). The burning process of petroleum (oil) releases CO2 and CO as the major by products, along with other compounds due to impurities within the oil (NOx and SO2). Monitoring of O2 levels within the plant are also used to optimize combustion efficiency. 

Products and systems of interest include:     

Ambient Air Quality Systems

Ambient air quality is of concern due to emissions of NOx, SO2, CO and particulates. Regulatory authorities usually insist that these parameters are continuously measured.

Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems

American Ecotech is able to offer a complete monitoring solution for emissions monitoring to meet all compliance requirements. Ecotech is also able to offer CO2 monitoring systems that can be used to assist you in meeting legislative requirements for carbon trading schemes.

Particulate Samplers

Suitable for the monitoring of TSP, PM10 and PM2.5 in ambient air.

Particulate Monitors

Suitable for the continuous monitoring of PM around open cut coal mines.

Meteorological Systems

Suitable for monitoring of meteorological conditions in order to determine direction of air emissions.
