Nitrous Oxide Monitoring for Greenhouse Gas Reduction

Greenhouse gases (GHG), which are considered to be one of the causes of the global warming, include carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and fluorinated gases.

In particular, various industries are required to reduce and manage the  N₂O emissions, which impact on the warming the atmosphere is 298 times that of CO₂.

For example, sewage treatment plants generate N₂O during sludge incineration treatment and during wastewater treatment in raw-water tanks and sludge storage tanks. Meanwhile, industrial waste treatment plants and garbage disposal plants generate N₂O during incineration. Although N₂O reduction has become increasingly common by adoption  the latest equipment such as pyrolysis gasifying treatment, further reduction of N₂O emissions is required through proactive monitoring.
