Annual testing - CEMs and ECAs
If your facility is required to have monitors installed to continuously measure the emissions of contaminants of concern they must be certified. Environment Canada Report EPS 1/PG/7: “Protocols and Performance Specifications for Continuous Monitoring of Gaseous Emissions from Thermal Power Generation,” December 2005, details performance evaluations and quality control activities that must be completed throughout the year to ensure the quality of the emission data being collected and reported by your facility’s monitors.
