What is Stack Emission Monitoring?

Stack emission monitoring involves measuring pollutants released from industrial stacks into the atmosphere. These emissions typically include carbon dioxide (CO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Monitoring ensures emissions comply with environmental regulations.

Stack Emission Testing & Reporting in Kenya

Industries must adhere to environmental standards to minimize air pollution and protect public health. Monitoring emissions helps to:

• Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Adhere to Kenya’s air quality regulations.
• Protect Public Health: Reduce harmful pollutants in the atmosphere.
• Promote Sustainability: Demonstrate environmental responsibility.
• Enhance Corporate Reputation: Build trust with stakeholders and the community.

Kenya’s Regulations on Stack Gas Emission Monitoring

In Kenya, stack emissions are regulated under the Environmental Management and Co-ordination (Air Quality) Regulations, 2014, enforced by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).

Key regulatory provisions include:

• Emission Limits: Ensuring pollutants like NOx, SO₂, CO₂, and particulate matter remain within prescribed limits.
• Continuous Monitoring: Real-time tracking for specific industries.
• Periodic Testing: Regular assessment and compliance reporting.
• Documentation & Reporting: Submission of monitoring results to NEMA.

How is Stack Emission Monitoring Conducted?

Monitoring typically involves Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) and periodic manual sampling. Common methods include:

• Gas Analyzers: Detecting pollutants such as NOx and SO₂.
• Particulate Matter Samplers: Measuring solid particles in emissions.
• Flow Meters: Assessing the volume and velocity of emitted gases.
