New state of the art Continuous Emission Monitoring System will also help the Dalhousie University Research Team to better measure baseline performance and monitoring of one year pilot project.
Brookfield, Nova Scotia – Lafarge Canada Inc. has installed state of the art Continuous Emission Monitoring systems at its Brookfield Cement plant at a cost of $830,000. Analyzers are now measuring plant emissions including Sulphur Dioxide, Oxides of Nitrogen (often referred to as NOx), Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, and Hydrocarbons every ten seconds. This new scientific equipment builds upon existing process measurement tools already capturing opacity (a measure of dust levels), temperatures, and feed rates.
