CEMS / PEMS Hybrid Systems
As a fully integrated emissions monitoring solution, AMP-Cherokee has integrated data collection, analysis and reporting of its CEMS and PEMS technologies for hybrid applications.
Customers can choose between
the following scenarios:
1)
CEMS
or PEMS Only
2)
CEMS
Primary / PEMS Back-up
3)
PEMS
Primary / CEMS Back-up
With
DAS integration, data redundancy is provided at the PLC and polling computer
prior to distribution to Ethernet/IP-based networks. Any data transfers that
are interrupted by network disconnections are automatically restored to all
servers.
Install & Upgrade Paths
One scenario is for
customers to start off with a traditional CEMS and then later switch over to a
PEMS, thereby saving 40 to 60% in operating
costs. Customers can typically obtain approval for switching to a PEMS by
simply submitting an Alternative Monitoring Plan to their regulatory agency.
After switching over to the PEMS, the CEMS can still be used as for back-up
emissions monitoring.
Pro-Logix PEMS™
AMP-Cherokee’s ProLogix PEMS™, is a PLC-based emissions monitoring and reporting software for sources
qualifying under 40 CFR 60 Appendix B (boilers) and 40 CFR Part 75 Subpart E. AMP-Cherokee is one of
just a few CEMS integrators that currently offers ProLogix PEMS™.
ProLogix PEMS™ calculates criteria pollutant emissions with CEMS-level accuracy, thereby
lowering operating costs and increasing reliability. Deliver real time results
over your Ethernet/IP networks for the highest system visibility available.
Our open
architecture ProLogix PEMS™ data acquisition and reporting software, through
its HMI>Network Interface™ and Allen-Bradley® PLC platform, provides network
connectivity and remote operation.
ProLogix PEMS™ combines its comprehensive dialogue screens and monitoring
analysis tools into an easy to use interface. ProLogix PEMS™ offers all the
monitoring capability needed to perform accurate data collection and real-time
analysis. ProLogix PEMS™ runs efficiently providing constant visibility via
real-time data, trending and customizable reporting.
PEMS Interface
Customization
One of the unique features of ProLogix PEMS™ is its
programming flexibility.
ProLogix PEMS™ is a full-featured, predictive emissions monitoring software for
qualified sources under the EPA PS-16 audit standards for compliance with 40
CFR Part 75 Subpart E and 40 CFR Part 60 Appendix B regulations for monitoring
nitrogen oxides and oxygen at industrial sources. ProLogix PEMS™ uses a
statistical hybrid model to provide real-time emissions predictions from a wide
range of operating input parameters with CEMS-level accuracy and reliability.
ProLogix PEMS™ has customizable real time
and historical display graphs to allow monitoring of emissions and process
parameters. The ProLogix PEMS™ Reporting Suite provides Part 60 compliant
reporting, including daily calibrations, emissions reporting, and rolling
averages.
ProLogix PEMS™ controls operations and monitors system health status.
User-configurable email alarms - critical and noncritical - can be configured
across your monitoring network. Remote access provides administration level
operation controls and troubleshooting tools to locate PEMS faults.
From
source data collected during process characterization, the ProLogix PEMS™ provides dynamic process sensor validation and error correction, along with
data acquisition functions such as startup, shutdown, and other historical
events.
