Tailpipe emissions: Non-road mobile machinery

Whether for research & development, emissions regulations such as Stage V in-service monitoring (ISM) or benchmarking technologies and alternative fuels, our customers turn to us for unrivalled expertise in the application of Portable Emissions Measuring Systems (PEMS).

Non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) presents its own unique challenges. Few machines are the same and often the testing locations are remote. Over the years we have developed the following key attributes we would be pleased to bring to your project:

  • Project management – liaison with the end user to arrange the tests and ensure customer satisfaction is maintained

  • Mobility – working globally via bases in the UK, Germany, and USA

  • Flexibility – working around operators’ working hours

  • Experience – experience across various applications from small all-terrain vehicles to inland waterway vessels

  • Cost effectiveness – removing the internal burden to free up skilled staff for core projects, through outsourcing.

Measurements available both raw exhaust and post-aftertreatment:

  • Fuel consumption (L/kWh)
  • Carbon monoxide (CO)
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • Nitric oxide (NO)
  • Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
  • Oxides of nitrogen (NOx = NO + NO2)
  • Nitrous oxide (N2O)
  • Total hydrocarbons (THC)
  • Particle number (PN, lower size cut-off 23 nm)
  • Particle mass (PM)
  • Ammonia (NH3)
  • Formaldehyde (CH2O)
  • Speciated volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
  • Sulphur dioxide (SO2)
  • Methane (CH4)
  • Non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC).
