Central Pollution Control Board’s Emission Monitoring Guidelines set to improve India’s Environment.

Following on from the successes and the tremendous feedback from visitors, delegates and exhibitors from previous CEM India events we are pleased to announce the third CEM India event will take place in Delhi on the 20th-22nd February 2024 .

The guidelines for continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) and continuous effluent quality monitoring systems (CEQMS) provide information on how suitable monitors are selected, installed and operated in order to demonstrate compliance. Continuous monitoring systems enable both compliance and enforcement of environmental regulations in India. Similar systems have been successful in Europe and the USA, and are being replicated by India and China. The aim of the CEM India conference and exhibition is to help process operators meet environmental objectives by providing guidelines, technical support and practicable solutions.

India is one of the world’s fastest growing economies, The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India has taken an important step to adopt Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) in India. The CPCB has initially directed plants in 17 categories of highly polluting industries to install CEMS for real time monitoring and compliance.

The main industries that have been targeted to install CEM Systems include Aluminium, Cement, Copper, Distilleries, Dying, Chlor Alkali, Fertilizers, Iron& Steel, Oil Refineries, Petrochemical plants, Pesticides, Pharmaceuticals, Power Plants, pulp and paper mills, sugar, Tanneries ,Zinc and the Copper industry. The Parameters for continuous monitoring include, Particulate matter, Fluoride, Ammonia, Sulphur Dioxide, NOx , Chlorine, HCL and Carbon Monoxide.

The CEM India conference follows on from the highly successful series of CEM events which have been held in Europe since 1997. CEM India will provide delegates and visitors in depth information on Indian regulation and policy, monitoring guide lines, calibration and quality control. There will be case study presentations from Industry as well as International speakers, Regulators and the Centre for Science and Environment on best practice , installation, procedures and data capture.

Running alongside the conference will be an exhibition of Domestic and International CEM and CEQMS equipment manufacturers and suppliers who will be able to demonstrate and give technical advice on the latest products and services. Delegates and visitors to CEM India will be regulators, process operators and environmental managers who need to monitor and test Air and Water quality.

The goal of the conference is to encourage informative and active discussions on the technical, regulatory and safety issues associated with emission and effluent quality monitoring. With this goal in mind, Oral and Poster presentations must be technically focused with commercial aspects kept to an absolute minimum.

Selected oral presentations will be allocated a 15- 20 minute presentation slot in the main CEM India conference and selected poster presentations will be allocated a poster board in the poster area.
