Power generation
Continuous emissions monitoring to US EPA and Australian Standards, plus ambient and meteorological monitoring for licence compliance.
Power stations and other major emitting facilities operate under an environment protection licence that sets limits on what leaves the stack and what is measured around the site. Benchmark Monitoring supplies, commissions and maintains the measurement systems behind those numbers.
Monitoring typically covers:
- Continuous emissions monitoring at the stack, including SO2, NOx, CO and O2 to US EPA methods and Australian Standards.
- Ambient air quality around the facility, for licence conditions and community reporting.
- Meteorological monitoring, so dispersion and dust can be assessed against real wind and stability conditions.
- Water quality and discharge at licence points.
CEMS that survive the stack
Dilution and extractive CEM systems are engineered for the site's process conditions, with heated sample lines, calibration gas injection and quality assurance to US EPA CEM 1-7 performance specifications. Systems are integrated with the plant's SCADA and DCS so operations see the same numbers the regulator does.
Long-term support
Licence monitoring runs for decades, not months. We stay on the systems we build: calibration, maintenance, data validation and reporting, with service agreements that match the licence's own reporting obligations.
