Software Overview


Particulate Measurement Systems
Particulate Measurement Systems provide continuous measurement of particulate emission rates which, for a defined range of application conditions, have the accuracy and consistency of response to be reliably calibrated in mg/m³ against a Standard Reference Method (SRM): Isokinetic sampling. PCME’s range of approved particulate measurement systems satisfy rigorous standards to meet national and international regulatory requirements: USA: EPA PS-11 (dust concentration), US EPA PS-1 (opacity) UK: MCERTS Version 3, EN 15267 for QAL1 and MCERTS Version 2 for mg/m³ Germany: UBA TUV and QAL1 to EN 15267-3


QAL1 Approved Instruments/PS-11
Incorporating Quality Assurance features such as reference audit materials and recorded Zero and Span functions ensure uncertainty in measurement is always below a defined uncertainty, as required by EN 14181 in Europe and PS-11 in the USA. These instruments are approved according to the EN 15267-3 standard which is reflected in the latest version of MCERTS (Version 3 Class 1) and BImSchV 17 and 13 in Germany according to the TUV approval scheme. These systems are particularly suited for Waste Incineration processes (WID) and Large Combustion Plant (LCPD) falling under EN 14181.


MCERTS and TUV Approved CEMS
These instruments are typically used for measurement in processes where regulators are not applying EN 14181 but still require an independent approval meeting specific performance criteria. Approved as measurement systems, incorporating Quality Assurance features to ensure practical reliable measurement, these instruments reflect the new European standard for filter dust monitors, MCERTS Version 3, Class 2.


CEMS without Approvals
Features including internal quality assurance checks and calibration screens ensure reliable measurement and are typically used for measurement in processes which do not require an approval or where measurements are being carried out for non-regulatory purposes. These systems have similar performance characteristics of approved dust monitors.

ATEX Compliance
Intrinsically safe instruments (Category 1, 2and 3 ATEX and IECEx) are used in applications where hazardous area (EX Dust Zones 20, 21 and 22) certification is required. Energy limitation is incorporated as protection and systems are provided with a sensor earth strap and isolating spur to meet mandatory safety standards. These robust systems are designed to be double fail-safe.
