Investigation of Emission Source

  • Data monitored in SEMS are business information, facility information, operational data, self‑measured data of emissions, and activity.
  • To be more specific, the data include business status, environmental engineer, facility information on air pollutant‑emitting facilities · air pollution control facilities · exhaust stacks, operating hours, operational and maintenance data on facilities, and self‑measured data and usage.

Information on air pollution control facilities Serial number, name, identification number, code, whether to have facilities that prevent air pollutant dispersion, target air pollutants, capacity and efficiency (design vs. actual), year · cost · location of installation, whether to have integrated power meter
Information on air pollutant‑emitting facilities Serial number, name, identification number, category (large (combustion facilities, incineration plants, processes and storage facilities) · medium · small), installation year, etc.
  • Combustion facilities: installation cost, design capacity, average operating capacity, boiler efficiency, etc.
  • Incineration facilities: installation cost, design capacity, the average amount of waste incinerated, type of incinerator, materials for incineration, incineration temperature, etc.
  • Process: the name of processes, finished products, design capacity
  • Storage facilities: materials for storage capacity, the average amount of materials stored

Data monitored in SEMS Ⅱ (Operational Data)

Data monitored in SEMS Ⅱ
Category Data
Operational hour Daily operating time (hours/minutes) by stack, and others
Facility operation Daily power usage by air pollution control facility, the name of chemicals used, daily chemicals’ usage
Facility maintenance Maintenance period by control facility, a person in charge of maintenance, maintenance specification
Self‑measurement Meteorological conditions Weather, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind direction, wind speed
Measurement date and emission gas specification Measurement date, the method of self‑measurement (For laboratories for air pollution, choose the name of laboratory), emission gas speed · temperature · moisture content, actual measurements and standard oxygen concentrations, emission gas flow
Air pollutants Target air pollutants, concentrations measured, emission standard, devices used for measurement, opinion of environmental engineers on emission inspection
Usage
  • Fuel usage: fuel by pollutant‑emitting facility, heating value, sulfur content, usage from January to December
  • The volume of incinerated materials: incinerated materials by incineration facility, the amount of incineration from January to December
  • Raw material, product, electricity: raw materials by facility and monthly usage, the name of product and monthly productions, monthly power usage

Places of business input data to SEMS, and NAIR verifies those data and ask the places of business to complement the data submitted, if necessary.

  • * Local governments assist places of business under their jurisdiction in registering their emission data, issue business licenses, and ask for their cooperation.
  • * Korea Environment Corporation (KECO) collects the data of places of business that install TMS, and then transfers the data to NAIR.
