US Patent 7698074 Emission monitoring methods and systems

Methods and systems are disclosed for determining emission outputs. One method bypasses a predictive emission function whenever an operating level is the same as an operating level from the original training set, and reports the emission level ascertained by the EPA reference method test during original training set acquisition. Another method uses a Predictive Emission Monitoring System to replace a Continuous Emission Monitoring System for cost effective management of pollution control equipment.
