Gas Emissions Monitoring
Many fuel burning applications are governed by the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) regulations and require CEMS to be MCERTS certified to help achieve compliance.
a1-cbiss are one of the major CEM System providing companies that offer the complete package. a1-cbiss have hundreds of installations across the UK on coal-fired power stations, incineration plants and biomass plants. a1-cbiss can also supply analysers for raw gas and syngas measurements too.
a1-cbiss are known for being very knowledgeable in helping support clients with understanding the legislative demands, how to select the right gas analysers, solving onsite issues and help with data acquisition. All systems are supported by the UK’s largest service network which offers around the clock reliability and performance.
Particulate Emissions Monitoring
MCERTS Accredited − We have a range of QAL1 approved CEMS specified in EN 15267-3 and, accredited to MCERTS and TUV.
Reliable Technology − ProScatter™ technology efficiently evaporates any water vapour in a flue gas samples providing effective dust concentration measurements. ElectroDynamic™ technology is unaffected by conductive dusts which usually coat the sensor on the probe. This makes it ideal for monitoring carbon black.
Reach Across the Widest Stacks with Accuracy − The longest dust and particulate CEM probes reach up to 15m across the duct.
Envea Brand − Envea emissions monitors are renowned for their accuracy, reliability, leading-edge technology, and innovation.
Baghouse Filter Monitors
Broken or burst bag detectors provide the most simple solution once leakage occurs.
Whereas, advanced, performance monitors indicate relative changes over time to predict pinpoint failure which optimises maintenance schedules.
Stack Flow Probes
Flue gas flow rate measurement is challenging for a number of reasons; the stack gas is at a high temperature, the stack may have large diameter and some stack conditions are corrosive and dirty.
Envea’s Stackflow probe offers an advanced flue gas velocity measurement system.
Innovative ProPitot® APF Averaging-Pitot Technology
Bears temperatures up to 800°C
Probes reach up to 10metres
Compliant with EN 16911-2 and EN 15267-3 for QAL1
Data Acquisition & Handling
a1-cbiss Data Acquisition Software (CDAS) is a fully MCERTS accredited (parts A, B, C1 & C2) real time data acquisition & handling software. CDAS is customisable and flexible, allowing it to collect raw data from a range of instruments for CEMS
Process Emissions Measurement (Raw Gas)
Raw gas measurement presents the opportunity to manage the level of pollutants in the gas stream process by using abatement control more efficiently.
Lower the Cost of Reagents − Process emissions analysers provide you with the level of pollutants there are in the gas stream prior to abatement. It can, therefore, help control how much reagents are needed without the risk of overdosing (and overpaying).
Bulk Material Flow
Monitoring and control optimises industrial processes to make them safer, more efficient and creates cost reduction benefits.
We have solutions for bulk material flow measurement, material flow monitoring, and limit-level measurement.
Sample Extraction & Filtration
Additionally, the company pioneered the use of membranes on sample probes, eliminating liquids at pipeline conditions to ensure a representative sample as well as preventing liquids from contaminating the sample system.
We can supply a range of corrosion resistant materials such as stainless steels, PVDF, PTFE, neoprene, and material compliance such as NACE.
Fixed Gas Detectors
a1-cbiss supply gas detectors that monitor a wide range of target gases including toxic, flammable, oxygen, and VOCs for use in safe areas and intrinsically safe or ATEX rated zones.
Site Survey − We’ll profile your workplace, consider environmental conditions, check the zone classification, and understand your aims so you know exactly the type of gas detection system required
Leading Brands − Crowcon, Teledyne (Oldham), ChemDAQ, Dodtec
Quality You Can Rely on − Built to last, user-friendly interfaces, minimal false alarms
Flame Detectors
Multi-spectrum flame detectors detect hard to see flames in refineries, battery storage centres, turbines, or hydrogen storage.
High-risk operations in industrial environments require flame detection that can reliably signal alarms, control fire suppression systems and shutdown processes.
Compressed Breathing Air Testing
Compressed breathing air testing is performed with the AIRQUAL-1 Test Kit. It is designed to comply with the BS EN12021 standards and to keep those who wear supplied air respirators safe.
Gastec Starter Kit
If you are new to using the Gastec detector tube system, buying a Starter Kit is the most cost-effective way which provides you with everything you need to get up and running.
Gastec Airflow Smoke Tubes
visualise airflow behaviour within air ducts
detect leaks within fume hoods.
Gastec Polytec Tubes
The Polytec tubes are commonly used by occupational hygienists or firefighting HazMat teams going into a situation where they need to quickly establish which gases they are faced with.
The Gastec Polytec system requires the Model GV-100S Gas sampling pump (bought separately) to draw air through the tube.
Gastec Accessories
Portable Gas Detectors
Respiratory Protection
a1-cbiss have partnered with 3M to supply powered air respirators, tight-fitting face masks and supplied air systems.

Site Survey − We’ll profile your workplace, so you know exactly the type of equipment is needed and answer your questions
Next Day Delivery − Order stock items before 2pm and have your order of respirators delivered for the next working day.
Total Personal Safety − a1-cbiss can supply a wide range of products for everything related to gas detection − Personal gas detectors, Spot Check Tubes, Respirators, Harnesses, Fixed gas detection systems and more
Passive Sampling
Passive samplers utilise colourimetric (colour change) technology to visually record levels of isocyanates or specific toxic gases at ppm or ppb levels. These results are manually recorded to track personal exposure for any given period.
Compliance − Download the EH40 guidelines to check your Workplace Exposure Limits
Next Day Delivery − Order stock items before 2pm and have your order delivered for the next working day.
Area Gas Detectors
Always With You − Area monitors provide benefits like those of a fixed gas detection system, however, they can be transported and repositioned to suit your needs.
Ring It − Area gas monitors provide protection to workers in confined space applications, perimeter, and fenceline monitoring.
Multi Sensor Choice − Area monitors are available with a wide range of sensor options including your standard oxygen, flammable, toxic sensors, while some can monitor VOCs using PID detection.
Loaded with Features − At a1-cbiss, our area monitors come with the option of an integral pump for sampling, along with alarms and high decibel sounders, with multiple flashing beacons to ensure good visibility in all conditions.
Confined Space Kit
Survey Monitors
The gas monitors are based on the infrared absorption and photoacoustic detection.
The accuracy of these measurements is ensured by the ability to compensate for temperature and pressure fluctuations, water vapour interference, and interference from other gases known to be present.
Leading Brands − Innova by Advanced Energy − renowned for high quality and reliability.
Expert Guidance − We consider the exposure limits, environmental conditions, your purpose of gas detection and your budget to propose you a fit for purpose detection solution.
Odour Logging
Nuisance odours from wastewater treatment plants can be a problem to neighbouring residential areas. Boundary odour monitoring may be required to continuously record levels of odour and present the data to the neighbours.
Photo Ionisation Detectors (PID)
10.6eV is the most efficient and commonly used lamp because it has a 2-3 year lifespan. The 11.7eV lamp can measure the biggest library of VOCs yet it has the shortest lifespan because it requires more power and burns out. The 9.8eV PID lamp requires the lowest power and has the longest lifespan but is limited to the number of VOCs it can detect.
Low ppb Detection Accuracy − The ppbRAE is designed to point and measure VOC’s in very low concentrations in ppb (parts per billion) in environmental, HazMat, oil & gas or industrial applications.
Leading Brands − a1-cbiss supply RAE Systems PID detectors − renowned for high quality and reliability.
Detectors You Can Rely On − Problems are less likely to arise if your PIDS have a regular service plan. PID service plan starting from £50.
Expert Guidance − We consider the exposure limits, environmental conditions, your purpose of gas detection and your budget to propose you a fit for purpose PID detection solution.
