E!CEMSTM Real-Time Environmental Data Management System

Air emissions monitoring and compliance management is becoming more demanding both in terms of reporting frequencies (near real-time) and complexity (number of calculations required). Today, companies are relying on spreadsheets and manpower to comply with the ever increasing requirements. This is not a long-term solution.

Wood Group has developed a solution focused on supporting the plant's real-time requirements. This web-based air emissions data management system is called E!CEMS.

E!CEMS provides reliable, accessible, accurate real-time air emissions data for air emissions compliance management. E!CEMS software significantly reduces the EHS staff work load, supports their response to permit limits and reportable quantity events, and enables operations to avoid fines and deviations by providing the following features:

  • Real-time performance
  • Automated real-time data acquisition and validation
  • Data recovery, substitution, and recalculation
  • Accurate emissions calculations and aggregation
  • 24 hour notifications
  • Audit trails and role-based security
The data assurance gained with E!CEMS will allow your company to meet the ever changing air emissions compliance requirements, ensure operations is within permit limits, and confidently engage in emission trading of NOx, SOx, and (future) CO2 emission credits. To support our customers, Wood Group has a dedicated knowledgeable staff that provides implementation, training, and support services for air emissions monitoring, reporting and notification.
