1. ONILE CONTINEOUS EMISSION MONITORING SYSTEM
A Presentation by
JHARKHAND STATE POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD On
25TH June, 2019

2. WHY CEMS
As per the 1st Revised Guideline for CEMS, August 2018, CEMS is to Installed at –
All the 17 categories of highly polluting industries along with Bio Medical Waste Incinerators and Hazardous Waste Incinerators.
Installation of online PM10 Analyzer for major air polluting industries including Railway Sidings, Coal/ Iron ore/ Bauxite mines/ Hard Coke units has been made mandatory.

5. REASONS FOR DATA UNAVAILABILITY
Data Unavailable at
Technological problems
Behavioural Issues
Organizational Problems
Site
CEMS Software malfunction
Disconnecting CEMS softwares
Improperly structured maintenance contract
IT Vendor Software Malfunction
Switching off PC
Lack of skilled personal
Hardware Issues
Server
Malfunctioning of Server
Data retrieval problems

6. CAUSES FOR DATA UNAVAILABILITY
Selection of Technology
Correct installation of CEMS (Isokinetic sampling points)
Quality Assurance and control
Calibration Requirement
Data Handling System

7. ACTION TAKEN BY JSPCB
Minimum 85% shall be transmitted to JSPCB otherwise JSPCB may issue Show Cause notice, requiring immediate feedback on corrective action.
Environmental Compensation shall be implied on the industries by JSPCB if they fail to take stringent actions for the compliance of faulty data/irregularity of data within period of 1 month.

8. SELECTION OF AN ANALYSER
Based on temperature and moisture content in the stack.
Dew point of sample gas and corrosive gases.
Dust content in stack
Range and maintenance of analyzer

9. Refer: http://cpcb.nic.in/ocems1/
CALIBRATION OF CEMS
The continuous Particulate Matter monitoring system (PM-CEMS) shall be calibrated at different operational loads against isokinetic sampling method at the time of installation.
Calibration shall be done once in 06 months by empaneled laboratories by CPCB using standard reference methods and at a frequency specified.
Refer:

10. Refer: http://cpcb.nic.in/ocems1/
CALIBRATION OF CEMS
For Gaseous Parameters:- The instruments/ analyzers shall be calibrated with respect to their functioning, drift, linearity detection limit, output, operating temperature and other relevant parameters before installation
The industries shall ensure tamper-proof operation of CEMS devices
Refer:

11. WAYS TO DEAL WITH EXCESSES EMISSIONS
Average emission for initial 30 minutes shall not be considered during the plant start-up or batch process.
Values recorded during calibration/ preventive maintenance shall not be considered for Exceedance.
Incase of Exceedance value, SPCB may issue Show Cause notice, requiring immediate feedback on corrective action.

12. WAYS TO DEAL WITH EXCESSES EMISSIONS
If, the emission quality continuously exceeds the prescribed norms by 10% of standard and for duration of 1 hour then
Industry shall immediately inform the SPCB about the control measures initiated by them.
Incase of failure, closer of its operation.

13. CEMS DATA FOR REGULATORY ACTIONS
Data performance : How much data received at server
Performance: How much and for how long the value exceeded
Generation of Performance Report & Identify the defaulters
Action Framework: Action taken as per Guidelines

14. ACTION FRAMEWORK BY JSPCB
Period of observation
(No. of Weeks = X)
Criteria Based on Data Performance
JPSCB will send - Show Cause letter to the client
1 Week
Industry is one of 5 with lowest positive data availability and mean data availability is< 85% OR
Industry has zero data availability for at-least X weeks in the past 4 weeks
JSPCB will send another Show Cause letter to client and meets the client & CEMS vendor
2 Week
JSPCB will send the Show Cause letter for the third time and conduct a site visit and verify the stack sample
JSPCB Officials may issue Closure and Environmental Compensation shall be imposed.
4 Week

15. How could CEMS be made effective?
DATA GENERATION
Industry sends
well-calibrated data,
with high uptime
DATA APPLICATION
ROs take measures on industries
as per protocol using CEMS
Data.
DATA ANALYSIS
Data quality checked
Summarized to ROs in an actionable manner
- High instantaneous emissions
- Clear weekly summaries
