Reliable N₂O Emissions Monitoring in Wastewater Treatment Plants
With the new EU regulation mandating the monitoring of nitrous oxide (N₂O) and methane (CH₄) emissions in wastewater treatment plants, operators are faced with the challenge of implementing precise and continuous measurement systems. N₂O, a greenhouse gas with approximately 300 times the global warming potential of CO₂, is primarily generated during biological nitrogen removal.
smartGAS offers a reliable solution with its SILAREX WWE system for the measurement of N₂O and CH₄ emissions. The technology enables precise differentiation between N₂O, CH₄, and CO₂, minimizes cross-sensitivities, and provides robust data for process optimization.
