Pavilion Technologies provides accurate continuous emissions monitoring and reporting to adhere to the stringent requirements of local, state, national and global regulations and trading programs. Its patented Software CEM(R) is the first model-based Predictive Emissions Monitoring System (PEMS), powered by the Pavilion8 platform, which provides highly accurate measurements of NOx, CO, O2 and other emissions as an alternative to costly hardware-based continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEM).
Pavilion was first-to-market with the introduction of Software CEM in 1992. This is an example of its commitment to innovation. With more than 250 installations, each requiring yearly certification, Software CEM has achieved a track record of 100% compliance. The company maintains a leadership position in mandated emissions monitoring with value-based solutions, unparalleled knowledge and experience, reliability, and a vast customer support system.
Hardware-based CEM sensor technology's product lifecycle, accuracy, and reporting can be greatly compromised with continued exposure to the harsh environment of the smoke stack (i.e., temperature, corrosive materials, etc.). If emissions monitoring falls below the local regulatory agency's 95% uptime (sensor availability) requirement, the erring company may be fined or penalized to substitute maximum emissions records in place of the missing data.
Software CEM, on the other hand, uses model-based software sensors, which are not exposed to these harsh conditions. Its ability to automatically collect, validate and aggregate data helps achieve active compliance in real time, 24 hours a day.
