Stack Emission monitoring is referred to as Stack emission you looking for.
testing, stack emission monitoring, stack sampling, Source
Emission Monitoring or Source Testing. It is a process to
measure the emission of industrial waste or pollutants
emitted into the atmosphere. The pollutants emitted from
the stack can be solid, gaseous, liquid organic or inorganic.

What is Stack?
The stack is nothing but chimney which is used to disperse
the hot air at a great height, emissions & particulate
matters that are emitted from the various types of stacks
like boiler, �ue gas etc. At these heights, the polluted air
disperses in a very large area so that concentrations at the
ground are within permissible limits and not harmful for
humans, animals and vegetation.


There are several types of �ue-gas stack based on fuel
injections. Eg. DG set stack, �ue gas stack, process stack,
furnace stack, boiler stack, chimney etc.

CPCB guidelines for Stack


Height
Chimney, Boiler, DG set, DG exhaust pipe etc. Stack height
calculation plays an important role in determination of
dispersion of pollutants in upper level of air relevant to
local building height.

Chimney / Boiler/ Stack Height Calculation


Formula

H = h + 0.2 * √KVA

Where,

H = Total height of stack in metre

h = Height of the building in metres where the generator


set is installed

KVA = Total generator capacity of the set in KVA

Based on the above formula stack height to be provided


can be categorized as follow: This is inline with
CPCB guidelines for stack height. 

It is the most Important that sample collected must truly
represent the conditions of �ue gas stack. Accurate
measurement of Pressure, moisture, humidity, gases,
velocity, temperature and Particulate matter is required
during Industrial stack monitoring procedure.
It is also required to measure accurately rate of �ow gases
accurate of weight and volume of samples collected.
Also When a wide range of particles are present in emission
�ow, there is a possibility that only smaller particles can
enter into sampler inlet and larger particles may not enter
due to their inertia. So to avoid this situation Calculating
isokinetic ratio i.e. Isokinetic Stack Sampling method can be
helpful to achieve accurate results in gas boiler emission
monitoring.

emit are Carbon Monoxide(CO), Oxides of Sulphur
(SO2,SO3),Methane Gas, and oxides of Nitrogen i.e. SOx and
NOx, and hydrocarbon compounds

What is the stack emission?


Stack emission is basically gases released into the air from
boiler stack, chimneys or DG set stack etc. from various
industries after incineration process i.e. method to remove
or burn the harmful gases before releasing to environment.

What is stack in air pollution?


Stacks are large chimneys designed to emit and disperse
hot air, particulate matter, and pollutants from industries
into the upper atmosphere so that they do not create a
danger to life on the ground. There are several types of
stacks in use today, such as: Boiler stacks. Flue gas stacks,
etc.

What devices are used to measure stack emissions?



There are many types of devices used in Stack emissions
based on the objective. Most commonly used devices are:
1) Iso-Kinetic Sampling: Manual and Automatic

What is the importance of stack monitoring?


Stack monitoring is vital for assessing and controlling
industrial air emissions, providing accurate data on the type
and quantity of pollutants released into the atmosphere
from industrial stacks.
This information is crucial for regulatory compliance,
environmental impact assessments, and the development
of e�ective pollution control strategies, contributing to the
protection of air quality and public health.

What are the parameters for Stack Monitoring?


Stack monitoring involves the measurement of various
parameters to assess industrial emissions accurately. Key
parameters include pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2),
nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), carbon
monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the
environmental impact of industrial activities and facilitating
regulatory compliance.

What is stack monitoring kit?


A stack monitoring kit is a comprehensive set of tools and
equipment designed for the systematic collection and
analysis of emissions from industrial stacks.
Typically including gas analyzers, particulate samplers, and

data loggers, these kits enable environmental professionals
to conduct accurate and e�cient stack monitoring,
ensuring compliance with emission regulations and
facilitating the development of e�ective pollution control
measures.

How is stack monitoring performed?


Stack monitoring is typically performed by installing
sampling equipment on or near industrial stacks to collect
samples of emitted gases and particulate matter.
These samples are then analyzed using various techniques,
such as gas analyzers and particulate samplers, to measure
the concentrations of speci�c pollutants and ensure
compliance with environmental regulations.

How is DG stack height calculated?


DG stack height is typically calculated using dispersion

Dear Abhishek,

The Central Pollution Control Board, New


Delhi evolved the following formula for
calculating minimum stack height to be
provided to each Diesel Generation set for
industrial, commercial, domestic and other
purposes.

H = h + 0.2 * capacity of DG in KVA.


H = Total height of stack in meter.
h = Height of the building in meters where
the generator set is installed.
KVA = Total generator capacity in the set of
KVA.

Perfect Pollucon Services says:

at

For Pin Oil and IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol), the


speci�c stack monitoring parameters and
standards may vary depending on the local
regulations and guidelines. However, some
common parameters that are typically
monitored include particulate matter (PM),
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and
combustion gases such as carbon monoxide
(CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). The
standards for these parameters are usually
set by environmental agencies to ensure
compliance with air quality standards and to
minimize the impact of emissions on human
health and the environment.

Regarding the requirements for ducts and


fans in the context of stack emissions, it is
important to ensure that the ducting system
is properly designed to e�ectively capture
and convey the emissions from the source
to the stack. The ducts should be sized
appropriately to maintain a consistent �ow
and minimize pressure drop. Additionally,
the fans should be adequately sized and
positioned to provide su�cient air�ow and
ensure proper stack exhaust.

It is crucial to consult the speci�c


regulations and guidelines applicable to the
region where the Pin Oil and IPA emissions
are being monitored to determine the exact

stack monitoring parameters, standards, and
requirements for the ducts and fans.
Compliance with these requirements helps
to maintain good air quality and minimize
the environmental impact of industrial
operations.

Perfect Pollucon Services says:

Several factors are considered when


determining the frequency of stack emission
testing. These include regulatory
requirements, industry standards, the nature
of the emissions, the type of pollutants
emitted, the operating conditions of the
facility, and the potential impact on the
surrounding environment and public health.
Regulatory agencies often set speci�c
guidelines or mandates regarding the
frequency of stack emission testing based
on the type of industry and the pollutants
emitted. Additionally, factors such as the
size of the facility, the type of equipment
used, the volume of emissions, and any
previous compliance history can in�uence
the frequency of testing. The goal is to
ensure regular monitoring and assessment
of emissions to maintain compliance with
environmental regulations and identify any
potential risks or deviations that may require
corrective actions.

Perfect Pollucon Services says:

HI Ankush,

The frequency of DG stack monitoring and


noise monitoring for a 300kVA DG (Diesel
Generator) can vary depending on the
speci�c regulations and guidelines set by
local authorities and environmental
agencies. However, as a general guideline,
stack emissions from the DG may need to be
monitored annually or biannually to ensure
compliance with air quality standards. Noise
monitoring, on the other hand, may be
conducted periodically, such as every three
to six months, to assess the noise levels and
take necessary measures to mitigate any
excessive noise pollution. It is important to
consult local regulations and guidelines to
determine the speci�c monitoring frequency
requirements for DG stack emissions and
noise levels in a particular area.
