In recent years, environmental issues—especially emissions from solid waste treatment activities—have received growing public attention. Waste treatment plants using incineration technology are being widely deployed across many localities to reduce pressure on landfills and improve treatment efficiency. However, the incineration process generates various hazardous pollutants such as CO, NOx, SO₂, HCl, dust, and dioxin/furan, which can negatively impact human health and the environment if not strictly controlled.
For this reason, regulations on automatic and continuous emissions monitoring (CEMS) have become increasingly stringent. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) requires waste treatment facilities to install automatic emissions monitoring systems, transmit data 24/7 to the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment, and store complete information for inspection and compliance purposes.
For plant operators, the challenge is not only installing measuring devices, but also managing emissions data transparently, accurately, seamlessly, and in an easy-to-use manner - enabling the operational team to quickly detect unusual fluctuations.
This is precisely why the customer chose iLotusLand as their emissions management and monitoring solution.
Implementation of the Environmental Monitoring and Management Solution
Recently, iLotusLand officially deployed and handed over the emissions monitoring and management software system to a customer operating a solid waste treatment facility. The scope of implementation included:
-
Integrating iLotusLand software with online emissions monitoring equipment installed at the chimney.
-
Configuring parameters, standardizing data, and setting up warning thresholds.
-
Training the plant's operational team to use the software effectively.
The primary objective of the project was to enable the plant to continuously track emissions indicators during the incineration process, comply with legal requirements, and enhance operational efficiency.
Monitoring Equipment and Parameters
The plant’s CEMS system is fully equipped with high-precision analytical instruments, including a CODEL analyzer cabinet, calibration gas system, and sampling probe installed at the chimney.
The iLotusLand software integrates and collects key parameters such as:
-
CO (Carbon Monoxide)
-
NOx (Nitrogen Oxides)
-
SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide)
-
O2 (Oxy)
-
HCl (Hydrogen Chloride)
-
Dust Concentration
-
Flow
-
Pressure
-
Temperature
-
TempSC, TempTC
All data is transmitted in real-time to iLotusLand, displayed in charts, data tables, and overview dashboards, and stored long-term.
