Stack Emission Testing per ISO-8178
Are you confident that your propulsion configuration meets its performance standards? Does your change in bunker strategy require a precise data-driven impact analysis? Do you want to verify the GHG emission reduction potential of switching to biofuels or fuel additives? Or are you looking to ensure accurate Specific Fuel Oil Consumption (SFOC) and GHG emissions at different engine loads?
Many ships carry a CEMS (Continuous Emissions Monitoring System) that measures gas contents from the stack. This may need calibration to validate its measurements.
We measure emissions from your vessel’s engine for greenhouse gases (GHG) and pollutants emitted from the exhaust. This service includes proper and detailed preparation, to generate verifiable insights by comparing a actual measurements on the test to a like-for-like measured baseline. Tests are performed per ISO-8178 protocols; do not accept anything less.
Our certified equipment and test protocol can measure parameters such as O2 (Oxygen), CO (Carbon monoxide), CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), NO (Nitric Oxide), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), CH4 (methane) and PM (particulate matter).
We check your stack for:
- Oxygen - O2
- Carbon monoxide - CO
- Carbon dioxide – CO2
- Nitric oxide – NO
- Nitrous oxide – N2O
- Nitrogen dioxide – NO2
- Sulfur dioxide - SO2

Why do you need Stack Emission Measurements?
Engine reconfigurations and fuel experiments are too costly for estimates. You need real data-driven, scientifically sound, precise measurements to base your decisions on.
Do you have questions whether Stack Emission Measurements with our quality standards are required for your vessel?
The ISO-8178 certification protocol sets requirements for detailed baselining and ensures that measurements under different circumstances on different days still are comparable. This we call: like-for-like testing. Our tests yield real, verified results to give solid, practical insights.
