Industrial plants increasingly need continuous emissions documentation without installing additional analyzers on every stack. In this context, Yokogawa Electric Corporation signed a global agency agreement to deploy and support CMC Solutions predictive emission monitoring systems (PEMS) worldwide.
From sensor measurements to model-based reporting
Predictive emission monitoring systems estimate pollutant concentrations using process variables already available in a distributed control system (DCS). Instead of direct gas analysis, the software calculates emissions from operating parameters such as temperature, load and fuel characteristics.
CMC’s PEMS platform applies a proprietary statistical engine to create emission models for gas- and liquid-fired turbines, boilers and related equipment. The system automatically generates electronic reports formatted to regulatory requirements, including U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reporting structures. More than 100 installations in chemicals, petrochemicals, oil & gas and power generation have been deployed internationally.
Integration with existing continuous monitoring
Yokogawa has historically supplied hardware-based continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS). The agreement extends this into a hybrid monitoring architecture combining physical analyzers and predictive models, a common approach in industrial digitalization where validation redundancy is required.
Within this model, PEMS can operate alongside installed CEMS infrastructure, using hardware measurements for verification and predictive models for continuous coverage. Yokogawa will provide installation, routine accuracy audits and revalidation after process changes for both new and existing CMC installations.
Global deployment and lifecycle support
The collaboration uses Yokogawa’s international engineering and service organization to implement the software across multiple regions. The statistical hybrid predictive engine interfaces directly with Yokogawa DCS platforms, enabling deployment without additional field instrumentation.
This arrangement expands emission monitoring options for plants operating under tightening environmental reporting rules. By combining software prediction with conventional measurement, facilities can maintain compliance while reducing the number of required physical analyzers in certain monitoring scenarios.
