MRI’s air quality specialists are well-qualified
to provide technical and regulatory support for developing and installing
predictive emission monitoring systems (PEMS). Our current focus is
nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from gas turbines.
PEMS are cost-effective continuous monitoring systems that require minimal
operational oversight and maintenance.
Under an exclusive licensing agreement with the Gas
Technology Institute, MRI offers a PEMS to monitor NOx and CO emissions
from gas turbines. MRI's PEMS are directly applicable to GE Frame 3
and Rolls Royce Avon gas turbines. These PEMS algorithms can be easily
adapted to other gas turbine models.
