Introduction
In the process industries, legal requirements regulate the
continuous acquisition of emission data to monitor and control
pollutants released into the atmosphere. Data verifies that
plant emissions do not exceed law-enforced thresholds. From
a plant owner's perspective, it's important that efficient and
reliable tools for acquiring emission data are available.
Environmental constraints not only can affect production, but
failure to provide emission values for extended periods may
lead to an authority imposed plant shutdown.
