Escalating Regulatory Pressure: Petrochemical Enterprises Face Growing Compliance Demands
The flue gas emission industry has evolved from basic monitoring to stricter compliance and digital management. As environmental concerns grow, Indonesia is introducing regulatory changes that impose tighter emission standards and reporting requirements, creating new challenges and opportunities for the industry.
CEMS-2000: FPI Empowering Indonesian Enterprises in Environmental Compliance
Continuous Online Monitoring
Under Indonesia’s Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 13 of 2021, ten high-emission industry sectors—including power generation, cement, iron and steel smelting, pulp and paper, oil and gas, mining, and fertilizer production—are required to install a Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) for uninterrupted, real-time measurement. The CEMS-2000 adopts a “hot-wet extractive sampling method” for continuous sampling, eliminating data gaps caused by intermittent sampling and naturally meeting this core regulatory requirement.
Automatic Data Transmission Architecture
SISPEK requires enterprises to transmit CEMS data from their on-site Data Interfacing System (DIS) to the KLHK server, following a mandatory connectivity test before approval is granted. The output signals from the CEMS-2000 are processed through a data acquisition system that can be directly uploaded to the “Distributed Control System (DCS)” or environmental authorities’ servers.
Dual Technology Platform
- UV-DOAS for SO₂ and NOx measurement – Covers the two most commonly regulated gaseous pollutants under Indonesian emission standards (Baku Mutu Emisi).
- NDIR for CO and CO₂ measurement – Meets the requirements for monitoring combustion efficiency indicators and carbon emissions, supporting broader environmental reporting needs.
Built-in Automatic Calibration Function
SISPEK links data validity directly to QAL (Quality Assurance Level) compliance—data from a CEMS unit that has not undergone proper quality assurance procedures is deemed invalid even if the equipment is technically operating. The CEMS-2000’s automatic calibration function reduces customers’ operation and maintenance workload while facilitating the retention of calibration records to support QAL compliance and regulatory audits by KLHK.
Why choose us：FPI Supports Continuous Flue Gas Emission Monitoring for Petrochemical Enterprises
FPI CEMS-2000 is a multi-gas monitoring system aimed to continuously and reliably measure emissions from various industrial combustions.
Key Features:
- UV-DOAS technology allows simultaneous measurement of multiple gases, with comparative a better signal-noise ratio over conventional technology
- The hot-wet extractive sampling system avoids condensation, corrosion and chalking
- Modular system design reduces the maintenance cost and gives a more stable system performance
- User-friendly interface and software provide a non-attended operation experience
Applications:
- Fluid catalytic cracking units: Continuous monitoring of SO2, NOx, and CO emissions from FCC regenerators ensures compliance while supporting catalyst optimization. Real-time emission data enables optimization of regeneration conditions that maximize catalyst activity while minimizing emissions.
- Thermal oxidizers: Destruction of volatile organic compounds in thermal oxidizers requires careful temperature control monitored through CO and O2 measurement. The CEMS-2000 provides the accuracy needed for optimal destruction efficiency while preventing thermal damage.
- Boilers and heaters: Process heating equipment monitoring ensures compliance with air quality regulations while supporting energy efficiency optimization. Multi-gas monitoring enables comprehensive optimization of combustion conditions.
- Specialty chemical manufacturing: Fine chemical production requires precise emission monitoring to address process-specific emissions, batch operation support, quality control integration and safety system integration.
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: Active ingredient production facilities utilize emission monitoring for solvent emission control, thermal destruction monitoring, environmental compliance and occupational safety.

Field-Validated: Successful Deployment and Compliant Delivery of CEMS-2000 at an Indonesian Industrial Park
At an industrial park in Sulawesi, Indonesia, the CEMS-2000 Continuous Emissions Monitoring System was successfully deployed and commissioned. Amid challenging on-site conditions — including active construction during the rainy season and incomplete installation platforms — the pre-treatment system underwent on-site modifications to effectively mitigate condensation risks in pipelines caused by Indonesia’s characteristically high humidity, ensuring stable system operation. The CEMS-2000 was ultimately commissioned with real-time data transmission, earning high recognition from the client.
