EnviroConnect is a web-based environment quality monitoring system that collects data from devices monitoring stack emissions, ambient air quality, and water quality. It allows users to view data in real-time, configure alarm thresholds, generate reports, and send data to pollution control boards. The system is designed according to India's CPCB guidelines and can be deployed either locally or on a nationwide network. It has been implemented in over 50 industries across India to monitor their emissions and effluent quality.

• Define alarms for instantaneous values of
CEMS crossing permissible range. These
can be defined per industry as per
individual limits set by PCB
• Ambient data alarms according to National
Ambient Air Quality Standards, e.g. PM10
– 24 hr avg. should not exceed 100 µg/m3
• Define alarms for water quality parameters
on approved permissible ranges
Alarm generation
• When any thresholds are crossed, alarms
are generated
• Audio-visual display on browser
• Alerts by SMS / email
Alarm Management

11. • Facility to request for data correction in case of any
abnormal data values
• Workflow for regulator to review and accept / reject
data correction with time stamping
Data Correction / Time Stamping

12. • Remote calibration of analyzers from server
