In an era of tightening environmental regulations and a global push for sustainability, precise measurement and reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—methane (CH₄), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water vapor (H₂O)—from both LNG and conventionally fueled engines (e.g., diesel, heavy fuel oil) are critical for compliance and cost savings. The UP-GHG-CEMS (Ultraportable Greenhouse Gas – Continuous Emissions Monitoring System) empowers you with an unmatched solution for accurate GHG analysis across all engine types, helping you significantly reduce costs associated with purchasing CO2 and CO2e allowances. It combines two industry-leading technologies:
ABB/LGR’s OA-ICOS Analyzer: Delivers highly specific, interference-free measurements of CH₄, CO₂, and H₂O at a rapid 1 Hz frequency, ensuring precise data for compliance and optimization. Unlike traditional THC (FID/HFID) methods, which can overestimate CH₄ concentrations by more than 50% in LNG engines due to non-specific hydrocarbon detection, the OA-ICOS analyzer provides accurate measurements for both CH₄ and CO₂ across all fuel types, saving you from overpaying for allowances. Measurement methods are traceable to national and internationally recognized metrology institutes, ensuring global credibility and regulatory acceptance.
OXYDAN® DP7900 Dilution Sampling Technology: Provides a pristine sample by reducing the dew point below ambient temperature, removing only particulates, and delivering high-speed sampling (8 m/s) through the sample line. This prevents exhaust gas condensation, clogging of sampling lines, and contamination of analyzer optics and measuring cells, ensuring accuracy comparable to ambient air quality for both LNG and conventional engines. No heated sample lines are required, simplifying your operations and reducing maintenance costs.
This powerful combination delivers exceptional precision and reliability, enabling accurate GHG emissions reporting to meet regulatory requirements, optimize fleet performance, and minimize CO2 and CO2e allowance costs across LNG, diesel, and other fuel-powered engines.
Slash Allowance Costs with Certified Reporting: The OA-ICOS analyzer, recognized as the gold standard by GHG scientists, corrects CH₄ overestimations exceeding 50% seen in THC (FID/HFID) methods for LNG engines and ensures precise CO₂ measurements for all fuels. Traceability to national and international metrology institutes guarantees credible data to report actual emissions, minimizing CO2 and CO2e allowance purchases.
Power Your AI/ML with Robust Data: High-accuracy, real-time data at 1 Hz drives advanced emissions modeling and fleet optimization for both LNG and conventionally fueled engines, enhancing performance and efficiency.
Streamline Operations with Zero Downtime: Eliminates daily, weekly, or monthly service needs and the use of heated sample lines, reducing operational costs and complexity across all vessel types.
Ensure Superior Sample Quality: OXYDAN® DP7900’s high-speed (8 m/s) sampling, dew point control, and contamination prevention deliver a clean, interference-free sample for LNG and conventional engines, enhancing measurement precision.
Operate Anywhere with Ease: Compact design supports on-board use and easy transfer between sampling points or vessels in a ship pool, providing flexibility across diverse fuel types and operational environments, maximizing ROI.
Uninterrupted Monitoring for Reliable Reporting: Engineered for continuous 24/7/365 operation, delivering high-fidelity data collection over weeks, months, or up to a year without routine maintenance.
Real-Time Data for Timely Insights: Fast, real-time CH₄/CO₂ ratio measurements at 1 Hz, powered by the OXYDAN® DP7900’s rapid sampling and ABB OA-ICOS analyzer, enabling precise emissions reporting for all engine types.
Hassle-Free Validation for Your Convenience: No test gas required, with a “Bump Test” using ambient air (CO₂) for easy system validation.
Portable Design for Your Flexibility: Compact and lightweight, hand-carryable even on-board aircraft, enabling seamless use across vessels, fuel types, and sampling points in diverse environments.
Regulatory Compliance Made Easy: Aligns with FuelEU Maritime, upcoming IMO frameworks, and MEPC.391(81) Tank-to-Wake emission factor submissions, with measurement methods traceable to recognized metrology institutes for global regulatory acceptance.
Expanded Analysis for Comprehensive Insights: Optional modules for NOx, SO2, N₂O, NH₃, and CO measurements to cover additional emissions from all engine types.
Secure Data for Your AI/ML Models: Near-indefinite internal storage with secure cloud transmission for advanced emissions modeling and fleet optimization.
Maintenance-Free Operation for Your Efficiency: Months of continuous use with easy serviceability and swappable components.

The UP-CEMS concept introduces a versatile approach to exhaust gas monitoring. It enables the tracking of a wide range of emissions or the specific targeting of particular gases of interest, granting users complete flexibility.
The pursuit of alternative fuels for combustion engines and power generation plants has generated new demands for emission monitoring equipment across various research applications. Consequently, researchers require portable equipment and solutions to meet these evolving needs.
At the heart of this concept is the Ultra-portable Continuous Emission Monitoring System (UP-CEMS), meticulously engineered to extract exhaust gas samples and subsequently dilute it. The sample are then channeled to portable sensors available for CH4, CO2, C2H6, CO, NH3, HF, HCL, N2O and H2O.
By adopting the UP-CEMS Concept, you gain the ability to construct a bespoke continuous emission monitoring system precisely tailored to your requirements. The realtime sampling flow is fast 8 to 10 m/s and with the OA-ICOS with samling frequencies of 1 Hz makes realtime diagnostic of LNG engine easily performed.
Simplicity is a fundamental aspect of this plug-and-play concept, making it accessible for users of diverse backgrounds. Operating the system involves just three straightforward steps: attach the sampling probe to the sampling point (1 ¼” G female stud pipe), connect the analysers to the unheated sample line and finally, link the power and instrument air.
Despite it’s ultra-portable design, our system is built for continuous operation, year-round, serving as a reliable fixed Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS).
