ecom for Environmental measurement technology & Authorities – measurement technology trusted by experts.
Measuring technology for public authorities, inspection bodies and laboratories – developed for measurement tasks where precision and scalability are non-negotiable.
In official monitoring, type approval and scientific research, there is no room for estimates. Measurement data must be reproducible, physically reliable and legally robust. ecom develops measurement systems that meet the highest standards, delivering clear assessments with uncompromising precision.
Environment & Authorities have different requirements.
Anyone who needs to reliably assess emission values or document long-term emission trends requires measuring instruments that deliver precise, reproducible and application-oriented results. Whether in a testing laboratory, depending on the measurement methods specified by regulatory requirements, in industrial environments, for process optimization or as preparation and indication prior to accredited measurements: measurement values must be robust, reveal deviations at an early stage and enable a sound technical assessment.
Especially ahead of official inspections or accredited measurements, having high-quality in-house measurement technology is a clear advantage. It creates transparency, reduces the risk of unexpected exceedances of limit values and helps avoid costly follow-up inspections or repeat measurements.
Growing requirements – three key challenges
Ultra-low-emission measurement: Stricter emission requirements are placing higher demands on the measurement technology used. Anyone who needs to reliably monitor very low pollutant concentrations or assess systems prior to official measurements requires instruments with a high level of physical measurement precision, stable sensor technology and dependable repeatability.
Validation of complex fuel systems: Alternative energy sources such as hydrogen, or modified fuel blends, influence the composition of flue gases and therefore also the assessment of emissions. Measuring instruments with intelligent cross-sensitivity compensation provide a reliable basis for technical analyses, preliminary testing and development processes.
Data integrity and long-term documentation: In-house measurement systems make it possible to record emission values continuously, systematically and transparently over time. This allows system conditions, optimization measures and long-term developments to be documented, providing a robust basis for internal assessments, technical decisions and preparation for external inspections.
Three target groups – One common requirement: reliability
Accredited laboratories and testing facilities
…help define tomorrow’s state of the art. When approving new burner technologies or conducting scientific research projects, maximum resolution with minimal tolerances is essential. ecom systems serve as a calibratable reference for the validation of stationary monitoring systems and for complex chemical combustion analysis performed by operators of the respective plants.
Authorities and public institutions worldwide
…use ecom measurement technology for the independent verification of local emission values, to validate the plausibility of existing measurement results and to prepare for accredited measurements. The generated reports document measurement values, operating conditions and system status in a transparent and traceable manner, creating a reliable basis for decision-making without claiming the often costly status of an official or legally defensible measurement.
Testing organizations
…work under significant time pressure and with constantly changing test objects. Reproducibility and compliance with applicable standards are non-negotiable, as is the immediate readiness of the measurement technology.
Why ecom – and why specifically for this sector?
ecom develops measurement solutions designed to meet the requirements of environmental monitoring, testing, service organizations and industrial self-monitoring – not the lowest common denominator. This means high-quality measurement technology for precise preliminary measurements, robust trend analyses and reliable emission assessments under real field conditions.
Our systems support operators, laboratories, service partners and technical decision-makers in identifying system conditions at an early stage, reducing measurement risks ahead of accredited inspections and documenting emission trends transparently over the long term.
Technical strengths at a glance:
- Heated sampling systems: Prevent the washout of water-soluble gases such as NO₂ or SO₂ in the sampling tube – the gas matrix remains physically unaltered from the sampling point to the sensor
- Active gas cooling: Ensures stable measurement conditions and precise results even at high flue gas temperatures
- Multi-sensor technology: Up to 6 electrochemical sensors plus NDIR infrared bench in one compact housing – for simultaneous multi-component measurement (NO, NO₂, SO₂, CO, CO₂, CxHy, O₂)
- Cross-Sensitivity Compensation: Electronic and software-based deep compensation for purest signal quality – even with complex gas mixtures and new fuels
- Tamper-proof logging: Audit-proof data acquisition and legally compliant PDF protocol generation directly on-site
- Reliable preliminary indication: ecom measurement technology delivers precise indication measurements before official regulatory measurement – helping to avoid costly repeat measurements
- Immediate operational readiness: Robust, highly mobile case systems that start up immediately with valid calibration even after extended standby periods
- Flexible system integration: Analog outputs, USB, SD card logging, and wireless data transmission via WiFi and BLE for direct transfer to SCADA systems and databases
Economic benefits for authorities, laboratories and testing organizations:
- Reproducible measured values as a reliable basis for expert reports, approval procedures and official reports
- Precise indicative measurements ahead of accredited or authority-relevant measurements – for the early detection of potential limit value issues and to help avoid costly repeat measurements.
- Continuous and traceable in-house documentation of emission values, system conditions and long-term developments
- Greater planning reliability ahead of official measurement campaigns through the early identification of critical operating conditions
- Minimized downtime thanks to express calibration, loan equipment service and short service cycles
- A flexible system for a wide range of system types – from industrial combustion plants to municipal applications
Certifications and Standards:
- TÜV-tested according to EN 50379-2
- Compliance with 1st BImSchV
- ISO 9001 certified manufacturing in Germany
