Lost emission credits calculator

Scott Specialty Gases recently revised its popular Lost Emission Credits calculator to reflect rising market values for SO₂ and NO_X. The easy-to-use slide chart identifies and links potential lost revenue to the degree of inaccuracy of calibration gases used to calibrate CEMs. A CEM that has not been calibrated accurately can lead to overstating emissions, costing a company hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars in unclaimed emission credits.

Keep gas monitoring simple

The new Gasman personal gas monitor is small, light and easy to use in the toughest environments. Weighing between just 3.7-4.6 oz, depending on sensor type, it is extremely durable, with high impact resistance and ingress protection to IP65/67. When a hazardous gas is detected the instrument alerts the user by vibrating and giving a loud 95 dBA alarm, with an extremely bright red/blue alarm light.
