Online Industrial Effluent & CEMS Telemetry System

Under the Punjab Environmental Quality Standards (PEQS), all prescribed industries must install Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) and connect them online to EPA Punjab's CECR. The telemetry system monitors parameters including SO2, NOx, PM, COD, BOD, and heavy metals in real-time. Automated alerts are triggered when readings exceed PEQS limits, enabling same-day enforcement action.
