EPA PS-1 Continuous Opacity Monitoring Systems
EMS designs and manufactures dual-beam continuous opacity monitoring systems (COMS) for facilities that require reliable, continuous stack-opacity data and U.S. EPA Performance Specification 1 compliance. The EMS WatchDog PS-1 combines rugged optical hardware with automatic zero and span functions, real-time diagnostics and an intuitive 5.7-inch color touchscreen.
The WatchDog PS-1 meets or exceeds 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1 and ASTM D6216. Since 1990, Environmental Monitor Service has supplied opacity monitors, startup, certification, audit testing, repair and technical support for power generation, paper, cement, incineration and other regulated industrial applications.
