Right after Christmas 2018, our group was approached by a foreign aircraft engine manufacturer who requested us to perform various nvPM measurements in 2019. For 2019, our group originally planned to run engine emissions tests at our home base at SR Technics at Zurich airport, but due to their demanding test cell overhaul, we could […]
TOOLS: Emission/immission Meteorology Computing Emissions and air quality measurements SMARTEMIS The Swiss Mobile Aircraft Emissions Measurement System (SMARTEMIS) is a state-of-the-art sampling and measurement system for gaseous pollutants and particulate matter in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and recommended practices. It is one of three reference measurement systems worldwide for non-volatile […]
