Stack Emission Monitoring Systems
Focused Photonics Inc. (FPI) safeguards the planet with its robust Stack Emission Monitoring Systems, delivering continuous, compliant analysis of flue gases to curb industrial pollutants. Our CEMS platforms integrate extractive sampling, multi-gas detection, and data acquisition for real-time SO2, NOx, CO, and PM oversight, ensuring adherence to stringent regulations.
Emission Equilibrium: The Mechanics of Stack Monitoring
Stack emission monitoring employs continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) to extract, condition, and analyze flue gases from industrial stacks, quantifying pollutants via optical, electrochemical, or gravimetric methods. FPI’s systems draw heated samples through probes, cool/dry them to remove moisture, then route to analyzers: UV for SO2/NOx, IR for CO/CO2, beta attenuation for PM, and chemiluminescence for O2.

This holistic approach, codified in EPA Method 6C since the 1970s, now leverages multipoint averaging and predictive modeling for stack-wide profiling. FPI enhances reliability with heated umbilicals to prevent condensation and auto-zeroing for drift-free operation, achieving <2% uncertainty per EU IED standards. In 2025’s carbon-constrained era, our systems support CCUS validation by tracing CO2 plumes, minimizing false positives in variable flows and fostering proactive emission abatement.
