Compliance monitoring within industrial facilities must be supported with data collection, quality review and reporting systems. Most facilities have, over time, accumulated a variety of environmental data acquisition and reporting systems. It is not uncommon to see 3 or 4 special purpose PC's competing for space and attention in the control room environment. DR DAS designs, assembles and installs effective, labor reducing, state-of-the-art data acquisition and reporting solutions that unify and simplify the total continuous monitoring performed at industrial facilities. At DR DAS our experienced applications specialists and Microsoft software developers can assess your total facility information collection and reporting needs.

DR DAS supplies Open Architecture, Microsoft-based, solutions for total facility environmental data collection and management. A key characteristic of DR DAS designed systems is the ability to easily integrate existing systems and equipment from many different vendors. In many cases it is efficient to utilize EnvidasFW universal data acquisition and control units.

Typically all data are assembled in a central SQL Server database with web-based data accss. All systems offer a corporate environmental information Intranet. Client-server applications support a Human Machine Interface, computational and reporting needs. The figure to the left is from the SiteView HMI program. This quick trend form is accessed by clicking on any onscreen value. Displaying the last 60 values, color-coded for data validity, the form allows the user to easily review data. The buttons provide drill-down access to alarms, calibrations and digital status points associated with the graphed value.

One of the most common industrial monitoring needs met with DR DAS's Environmental Data Management and reporting systems is continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) and predictive emissions monitoring (PEM). This includes continuous opacity monitoring (COM) as well as compliance assurance monitoring (CAM). With more than 30 man-years of CEM experience on the design team, we can offer a scope of supply that addresses the multiple potential needs of the end user organization. Often the system will include fence line, meteorological, effluent discharge, cooling towers and cooling lake monitoring. All solutions fully integrate with plant process systems such as PI. The schematic below present a project example system design. It shows the ability to interface to a variety of plant systems.
