ecom for Industry & Power Producers – Measurement technology that protects your system.
Robust flue gas and emission measurement technology for plant operators, municipal utilities and heavy industry – developed for extreme conditions, maximum efficiency and seamless compliance.
Rising energy costs, stricter emission limits and the pressure to decarbonize face plant operators with historical challenges. Flue gas measurement is no longer merely a mandatory task – it is the central control instrument for economical and legally compliant plant operation. ecom offers measurement solutions that deliver precise results even under demanding conditions, reveal optimization potential and support the secure and transparent documentation of measurement results.
Industry & Power Producers have different requirements.
Whether heavy industry, large combustion plants, biomass power plants, or municipal utilities: industrial facilities operate under conditions that quickly push standard measurement technology to its limits. Where processes run around the clock and environmental conditions are particularly demanding, measurement solutions are needed that deliver reliable results even under the most difficult operating conditions.
At the same time, regulatory pressure is increasing: the 13th BImSchV for large combustion plants from 50 MW, the 44th BImSchV for medium combustion plants from 1 to 50 MW and the TA Luft define strict requirements for emission monitoring and documentation. Inaccurate measurements or incomplete documentation result in regulatory requirements – or, in extreme cases, the withdrawal of the operating license.
Stricter requirements – increasing pressure on operators
Rising energy costs, stricter emission regulations, and the trend towards plant flexibility are fundamentally changing the demands on operators. At the same time, more frequent load changes lead to greater wear and more unstable operating conditions. Municipal heat planning and decarbonization goals further increase the pressure on efficiency and CO₂ balance.
Measurement technology is no longer a supporting component – it is a critical part of economical operation.
Heavy industry (e.g., cement, glass, aluminum, steel)
In the manufacturing industry, flue gas analysis is a crucial lever for quality control and process safety. Extremely high dust loads, aggressive gas mixtures and temperatures at the limit require measurement technology designed for harsh industrial environments. Fast response times provide measurement values almost in real-time and enable the direct detection of CO peaks in the process.
Large combustion plants and
Compliance
For plants with high thermal input, legislators do not tolerate errors. ecom measurement systems provide precise indicative measurements prior to official authority measurements, thus helping to avoid expensive and unnecessary repeated measurements or even costly plant shutdowns.
Energy producers and efficiency optimization
In continuous energy generation, every tenth of a percent of efficiency literally counts. The highly precise determination of O₂ and unburnt components (CO) enables optimal adjustment of the fuel-air mixture. The result: significant fuel savings, a protected boiler and a measurable ROI – regardless of the energy source, whether natural gas, oil, biomass or refuse-derived fuels.
Municipal utilities and
decentralized infrastructures
Municipal utilities manage an enormously heterogeneous fleet of plants – from decentralized combined heat and power plants in indoor swimming pools to large municipal district heating centers. Service teams require measurement technology that is highly mobile, quickly adapts to changing systems, and remains intuitively operable despite high technological complexity.
Why ecom – and why specifically for this sector?
ecom develops measurement solutions tailored to the specific requirements of industrial applications – not to the lowest common denominator. This means devices that operate precisely and continuously under real industrial conditions.
Technical strengths at a glance:
