Environmental Solutions

Industries face increasingly stringent emissions monitoring regulations. For years, compliance with those regulations required the use of expensive, hardware-based continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS). In 1992, in response to these demanding regulations, Pavilion introduced a software alternative that is a cost effective monitoring and compliance system. Software CEM is a highly accurate and reliable model-based Predictive Emission Monitoring System (PEMS).

White Paper
Software CEM has been certified and is in continuous operation monitoring NOx, CO, O2 and other emissions at more than 250 sources worldwide. Software CEM has been proven to meet the PEMS requirements of the EPA on boilers, furnaces, reciprocating engines, turbines, and other emissions sources. This white paper delves deeper into the Software CEM application with more detailed information.

Pavilion8 Software CEM®: Pavilion’s Predictive Emissions Monitoring System

Pavilion’s Software CEM is the first Predictive Emissions Monitoring System (PEMS). Introduced in 1992 and approved by the U.S. EPA as a PEMS, Software CEM provides real-time emissions monitoring through correlations with existing instruments—resulting in accurate, fast emissions information.

A complement to Pavilion's Real-time Environmental Management (REM) performance management application, Software CEMs provide a more cost-effective emissions monitoring compliance than hardware-based alternatives. Proven in more than 250 installations, Software CEM use the powerful Pavilion8 model analytic engine and the patented sensor validation system to assure regulatory compliance with unparalleled accuracy and reliability.

Software CEM has served as the basis for PEMS requirements worldwide. Its built-in sensor validation system detects and compensates for failed or drifting sensors—resulting in higher uptime, rapid reconstruction of bad sensor values and early detection of improper unit operation. What’s more, it is a fraction of the cost of hardware CEMS to install, certify and maintain.
