What is EcoChem Analytics?

Updated

EcoChem Analytics is a manufacturer of analytical instrumentation and Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS), positioning itself as a single-source supplier that covers an entire monitoring project "from probe to printout." The company builds its own analyzer, probe, and data acquisition software, which means buyers dealing with multiple gas components, particles, or regulatory reporting can source the full measurement chain from one vendor rather than integrating parts from several suppliers.

What EcoChem makes

EcoChem's product line is organized around stack monitoring systems and the components that feed them.

Product What it is Typical role
MC3 Analyzer Multicomponent IR gas analyzer designed for continuous flue gas monitoring Core measurement unit in a CEMS
MC3-based CEMS Standalone cabinet or panel with MC3 analyzer, PLC, and sample system components Complete turnkey monitoring system
PAS 2000 Photoelectric Aerosol Sensor, a real-time ambient air monitor for carbon aerosol Particle/carbon aerosol monitoring
HW5 Heated Probe Heated sample probe with a design that allows the entire probe to be removed without pulling the flange Sample extraction from the stack
Cemtrac3 Data acquisition system software for emission compliance and regulatory reporting Data logging and reporting
Hovacal Portable calibration gas generator producing gas-vapor mixtures with selectable humidity Calibration
Gas Sensors (CO2 + O2) Compact real-time monitor for particulate matter and gas measurement Supplementary gas monitoring

The MC3 is the centerpiece: EcoChem states it can measure NH3, HCl, HF, NOx, N2O, SO2, CO, CH4, H2O, CO2, and O2 in a single analyzer, with capacity for up to 8 components plus O2. That multi-component capability is the main reason a facility might choose it over separate single-gas analyzers — fewer instruments, one integration point, and one vendor responsible for the result.

Industries and applications

EcoChem lists its target sectors as:

  • Energy-from-waste facilities
  • Fertilizer production
  • Chemical and petrochemical plants
  • Coal- and gas-fired power plants
  • Cement kilns
  • Industrial boilers

These are all environments where continuous emissions monitoring is either regulated or operationally necessary, and where the measured species (NOx, SO2, HCl, HF, NH3, mercury, PAH, particles) overlap with what EcoChem's instruments target.

The "total responsibility" model

The company's stated differentiator is ownership of the whole system. Because EcoChem manufactures the analyzer, probe, and data acquisition software itself, it argues there are no coverage gaps or divided responsibility between vendors when something goes wrong. For a plant running a compliance-critical CEMS, that matters: a fault could sit in the sample probe, the analyzer, or the reporting software, and having one supplier accountable for all three simplifies troubleshooting and service.

Getting pricing and more detail

EcoChem does not publish prices on its site. It directs interested buyers to a "Pricing and Quotes" page and a "Get a Quote" link, so pricing is quote-based and depends on configuration. The site also offers brochures, an installations library, and a user area, and lists contact details at +(281) 338-9888 and [email protected].

If you are evaluating CEMS vendors, the practical next step is to request a quote with your specific gas list, stack conditions, and reporting requirements — that is the information EcoChem needs to confirm whether the MC3 configuration fits your application.
