Emissions Monitoring

Intellyx Emissions Monitoring measures five categories of pollutants: carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Additional parameters such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), and heavy metal particulates can be included based on your process profile and consent conditions. The specific sensor configuration for each emission point is determined during the site survey, where Perimattic engineers assess your process chemistry and match sensor types to the relevant CPCB or SPCB parameters. All sensors are selected and calibrated to meet the measurement accuracy requirements prescribed in CPCB's CEMS Guidelines.

Intellyx automates the preparation of Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) reports in the format specified by the Central Pollution Control Board and the relevant State Pollution Control Board. Daily, monthly, and half-yearly reports are generated automatically from sensor data and can be submitted directly through the CPCB's OCEMS portal or provided to the EHS team for manual submission. The platform stores the complete sensor data log required for board inspections, with tamper-evident timestamping that satisfies the record-keeping requirements under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. This typically reduces the time your EHS team spends on emissions data collection and report preparation from several working days per month to under an hour.

Traditional stack testing is a periodic, point-in-time measurement conducted by an accredited laboratory typically once or twice a year — or more frequently if mandated by your consent conditions. It captures emissions at one moment and cannot detect spikes that occur between testing cycles. Intellyx Emissions Monitoring is a continuous system that records readings every 15 seconds, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — capturing the full emissions profile rather than a snapshot. Continuous monitoring also satisfies CPCB's requirement for CEMS at large and highly polluting industries (HPIs), which cannot be met by periodic stack testing alone. For facilities that are not yet mandated for CEMS, continuous monitoring provides a competitive advantage in environmental audit performance and supports proactive compliance rather than reactive corrections after a violation.

Yes. Intellyx integrates emissions sensor data with energy consumption data from the Intellyx Energy Monitoring module to calculate Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions according to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and using IPCC emission factors. The output is a structured GHG inventory that can be directly referenced in the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) disclosures required by SEBI for listed companies, as well as in voluntary ESG reports following GRI or CDP frameworks. For exporters to Europe, the platform can also generate the emissions data required for Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) declarations. This eliminates the need for manual GHG calculations by your finance or sustainability team and ensures the figures are based on actual measured data rather than estimated emission factors.

When a monitored parameter crosses a configurable warning threshold — which is typically set at 80–90% of the applicable CPCB or SPCB limit — the system sends an immediate alert to the designated EHS manager, plant manager, and operations supervisor via the Intellyx dashboard and WhatsApp. The alert includes the specific emission point, the pollutant, the current reading, and the applicable regulatory limit, giving operations staff full context to respond quickly. The system also logs the alert event with a timestamp, creating a documented response record that can be presented to the pollution control board to demonstrate that corrective action was taken. If the parameter continues to rise and breaches the regulatory limit, an escalation alert is sent to senior management.

All raw sensor data is stored on-premises on the Intellyx edge computing unit at your facility, consistent with Intellyx's edge-first architecture across all modules. This ensures that your emissions compliance records remain on your premises, that the system continues to operate and record data even during internet outages, and that sensitive process data is not transmitted to external cloud servers. Aggregated reporting data and dashboards can be accessed securely from any browser via the Intellyx platform. For multi-plant groups that want a consolidated emissions view across sites, Intellyx supports secure site-to-site data synchronisation to a designated company server without routing data through third-party cloud infrastructure.
