Emissions info live online
Wednesday, 1 February 2012
For the first time the community can access live emissions data from each of the kilns at Cockburn Cement's Munster site. We've been working closely with the company to develop a system that publishes real time emissions information on the Cockburn Cement community website. The website now provides real time information about emissions any time of the day or night.
The data is drawn from the Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) on the top of each kiln, which is transferred through the process control systems to the reporting software, before being passed to the website as a live feed. The information is then presented in easy-to-read graphs.
This is a critical part of our ongoing work with Cockburn Cement aimed at maintaining open communication with local residents and building the trust of their community. To our knowledge it is the most transparent emissions data available from a WA company.
