The Continuous Emission Monitoring System (hereinafter referred to as CEMS) is applied to the monitoring and control for stationary source air pollutant emissions. Its function allows operators of stationary sources and environmental protection bureau to instantly understand the pollution discharge situation, grasp the operational performance of air pollution prevention and control facilities, and can be used as a basis for calculating and reporting air pollution prevention and control fees. Its real-time and accuracy are far superior to the data of regular detections. Since the implementation of CEMS monitoring data disclosure in 2016, the public can also view and supervise in real time through the government information disclosure platform.
The primary tasks in this year include:
(1) Assist in reviewing the relevant control specifications and supporting measures of the Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) for stationary sources, complete the overall monitoring and management system, and cooperate with the review of emission standards for the optoelectronic and semiconductor industries, and strengthen air pollutant reduction measures.
(2) Cooperate with the revision of CEMS management law and review of emission standards and regulations, handle on-site inspection and guidance work, grasp the compliance status of public and private places, monitoring technical feasibility and possible problems, and promote related control operations.
(3) In order to enhance the CEMS management and verification capabilities of the local environmental protection bureaus, assist in handling CEMS business briefings and training materials, so that the local environmental protection bureaus can grasp the key points of legal amendments, and improve the CEMS management and verification capabilities of the local environmental protection bureaus.
(4) Cooperate with the revision of CEMS management measures, assist in updating CEMS information-related execution procedures and management systems, and maintain the stable operation of various systems, and strengthen the management of monitoring data and public and private site data, so as to enhance the integrity of the national CEMS data control.
The second-stage CEMS management measures revised and promulgated on April 8, 2020, will come into effect on the date of promulgation. The specifications for the particular implementation date mainly involve DAHS replacement and connection formats, which will become effective on October 1, 2021. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the replacement status and update of public and private places as soon as possible and the position of the transmission of monitoring data with the new version of the format to avoid affecting the overall CEMS control. So, this year continues the work of last year. Focusing on coaching public and private places to complete the CEMS monitoring facility setup and connection operations, and at the same time grasping the progress of the national update and improvement, and simultaneously understanding and collecting the status and problems of the implementation of the second phase of the CEMS management method. In addition, in conjunction with the strengthened control measures after the update of the CEMS management method, the structure and procedures of the CEMS DAHS verification and review system are continuously being developed to facilitate the smooth implementation of the CEMS DAHS on January 1, 2025. In order to expand future control projects, the planning team will continue to track the PM CEMS demonstration site implementation issues and analyze the control object conditions and critical parameters of the Continuous Parameter Monitoring System (hereafter referred to as CPMS) as an alternative method of CEMS or small and medium-sized of pollution sources. Regarding the optoelectronics and semiconductor industries, the relevant control issues such as emission standards, CEMS control conditions, and localized emission coefficients are studied and revised simultaneously.
To understand the situation after the implementation date of the CEMS management method, we assist the public and private places to conduct CEMS setup and connection operations a total of 6 times. We visited 18 local environmental protection bureaus for the CEMS business execution status to understand the public and private places and the competent authority about CEMS operation and control problems. In addition, to understand the issue of coefficient declaration and emission standard control in the optoelectronics and semiconductor industries, we visited six optoelectronics and semiconductor industries factories for the coefficient declaration and emission standard control. And we conducted two emission standard revision research conferences for the optoelectronics and semiconductor industries to collect the industry's understanding of future regulations opinions on correcting the direction. In response to CPMS's future control items, parameters, setting location and quantity, and quality assurance and quality control issues, a CPMS consultation meeting was held. We also completed the new version of the CEMS management system and de-file program of 18 local environmental protection bureaus and the national transmission format deployment. At the same time, we updated the issue of the electronic platform for CEMS application documents so that the application and review process can be smoother to improve the overall CEMS Replacement and update operation time.
