A robust, industry-compatible emission monitoring system supporting the EPA's eco-friendly mandate.
gocems is developed and implemented by ECHT Environment Services in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency of the Republic of Ghana with United Platform Solutions serving as a technology partner.
The implementation of gocems is in pursuance of the EPA's mandate as issued under Act 490 and L.I 1652 of the Environmental Protection Act. By monitoring emissions accross industries, EPA is able to ensure compliance and make data driven decisions: To track the release of pollutants through air emissions and effluent discharge from industries with high pollution potential, to address the environmental impacts of their operations and also allow annual environmental permit applications to be processed using the web portal (gocems)
Contact Usgocems is developed as integrated system of smart sensors and software. The system comes with these primary features:
Multiple data capture sites where smart sensors installed at strategic industry monitoring sites are configured to capture emission data.
Learn MoreAn analytical software engine receives real-time data from sensors which analyzes and generates detailed emission reports
Learn Moregocems connects via APIs with external emission analysers and globally accepted compliance checklists to ensure accuracy of reports
Learn MoreState-of-the-art control rooms for real-time monitoring of emissions accross various industry sites to ensure compliance and data-driven decisions.
Learn Moregocems is a complete technological solution that measures the concentration of gaseous emission and particulate matter, emission rates using analytical measurements and a computer program to provide results in units of the applicable emission limits or standards. GOCEMS is designed to monitor emissions in air and water. The data generated will be collected through analogue outputs to a Data Acquisition System (DAS) for storage and onward transmission to the EPA dashboard. The Data Acquisition System includes special modules for data validation and further transmission to Central servers located at the EPA Head Office through a cloud server compatible with specific types of analysers.
The system comprises of 3 components:
• Online Analyser (Sensors)
• Data Acquisition System (DAS)
• EPA portal for data analysis and monitoring
Sensors employed in this system are industry-standard and cover parameters such as PM2.5, PM10, CO2, CO, Noise, Light, UV-Radiation, Temperature, Humidity, Pressure
gocems is not just a project. This is a giant step towards ensuring healthier communities.
gocems is developed and implemented as a Public-Private Partnership owned by the EPA. Our partners are key to the success of this project
