What is SmartCEMS® – who is CMC Solutions?

SmartCEMS® is a predictive emissions monitoring system (PEMS). PEMS is fully approved by the US EPA as an alternative to CEMS. Emission monitoring systems are typically required by air emissions regulations and plant operating permits. The CMC Solutions PEMS system generates electronic data reports in the format specified by U.S. EPA.

PEMS installation typically cost less than half of a CEMS installation in up-front capital and have even greater savings regarding on-going maintenance. No expensive analyzers have to be maintained and no calibration gasses need to be purchased.

Our PEMS systems use a database of data taken from the facility stacks as measured by temporary CEMS units. This data is used to develop a software model to accurately predict the stack emissions (NOx, CO, etc.). Our PEMS software is based on a patented statistical hybrid engine and provides complete turnkey software and hardware solutions.

If you are wondering who CMC is, we are a leading provider of PEMS systems and we work with a number of global business alliance partners who provide additional services. We have installed our emissions monitoring system all over the world on over 100 emission sources.

You get a reliable and significantly less expensive solution that accurately predicts environmental emissions without an online gas analyzer or maintenance intensive sampling system. Our SmartCEMS product relies on sophisticated computer algorithms that use artificial intelligence and machine learning. You can expect accuracy in process and emission monitoring such as:

  • Fuel & air flow rates
  • Unit and combustion efficiency
  • Primary pollutant monitoring (NOx, SO2, CO)
  • O2 and CO2 content in flue gas
  • Compliance Monitoring required by your air permit
  • Meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 and Part 75
  • Guaranteed to meet US EPA performance standards
