D G Emission Monitoring
Diesel generators used in industries emit high levels of harmful pollutants like carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter in the air. These gases and harmful substances enter the atmosphere and degrade the air quality in the nearby areas. Infants and old people are at a higher risk of getting affected due to the pollutants.
Major pollutants released due to diesel generators:
Effects of exhausts from diesel generators:
Importance of monitoring diesel generator emissions:
Diesel generators are the conspicuous choice for industries where electricity supply is erratic. However, in addition to powering many equipment, they also expend diesel as a natural resource. Efficient working of diesel generators will ensure that emissions from them are controlled and within set regulations. It could also result in lower diesel procurement costs for industries, which is beneficial to businesses.
Frequency of monitoring emissions from diesel generators:
Ideally, monitoring of diesel generator emissions should be continuous and real-time.
