Heavy Industry
Cement · Lime · Pulp & Paper · Mining
Compliance-grade monitoring for kilns, furnaces, and recovery boilers — multi-gas, high-temperature, heavily scrutinized — without the maintenance burden of physical CEMS.

Industry Challenges
Problems We Solve
Extreme Operating Conditions
Kiln temperatures exceeding 1400°C, corrosive flue gases, and high particulate loads make physical CEMS notoriously unreliable and maintenance-intensive in heavy industry.
Multi-Pollutant Complexity
Cement kilns and metal furnaces emit NOₓ, SO₂, CO, CO₂, and particulate matter simultaneously — requiring integrated monitoring that traditional single-gas analyzers struggle to provide.
Process Variability
Raw material changes, alternative fuel blending, and kiln operating mode transitions create constantly shifting emission profiles that fixed emission factors cannot capture.
Capabilities
Heavy Solutions
Cement Kiln Monitoring
Track NOₓ, SO₂, CO, CO₂, and particulate matter from precalciner and kiln combustion zones — every regulated gas from a rotary kiln on one screen.
Lime Kiln Optimization
Combustion optimization and emissions monitoring for rotary and vertical lime kilns — improve fuel efficiency while maintaining product quality and emissions compliance.
Steel & Metals
Electric arc furnace emissions monitoring and process analytics — track off-gas composition, electrode consumption, and environmental performance.
Pulp & Paper
Recovery boiler emissions monitoring and energy optimization — manage black liquor combustion efficiency while tracking every gas leaving the stack.
Glass Manufacturing
Furnace emissions monitoring for glass production — track NOₓ, SOₓ, and particulate from regenerative and oxy-fuel furnace operations.
Carbon Pricing Compliance
Accurate Scope 1 emissions quantification for carbon pricing programs — TIER, federal carbon pricing, and output-based pricing system compliance.
