Cement Industry's Needs for Variety of Air and Water Quality Monitoring Systems
Some of the most important environmental issues facing the cement industry includes greenhouse gas emissions and release of toxic chemicals. Global warming is of special interest due to the almost 1 ton of CO2 released every 1 ton of cement produced (5 percent of all global greenhouse emissions). The cement industry is attempting to upgrade plans with more effective flue-gas cleaning and monitoring equipment in order to reduce these emission levels. Products and systems of interest to the cement industry includes: ambient air quality analyzers, CEMS, particulate samplers, particulate monitors, and meteorological systems.
