i. The platform should receive and display data as it is generated every second or minute in real-time. The information on health of the instruments is also communicated simultaneously for display along with the data on pollutants.

ii. It should provide 15-minute average values in tabular form and generate trend graph for each parameter at each stack or outlet.

iii. It should compare the 15-minute average values with the prescribed standards and generate alerts and reports on exceedances.

iv. All exceedances should be communicated in the form of SMS Alerts and through e-Mail to the concerned officials at industry, SPCB and CPCB.

v. Each industrial unit is expected to respond for the SMS alerts received at cems.cpcb@nic.in and sector specific e-Mail ID, such as paper.cpcb@nic.in in case of pulp& paper industry. The problem and time taken for its resolution is provided. The industry can also inform CPCB on all related issues affecting Online Monitoring such as scheduled shut down of operations, process upsets, raw material & fuel quality issues, etc.

vi. The real-time data acquired by the instrument suppliers and the data integrators is sent to a Central Portal of CPCB through a API. The industrial units will check their data regularly on Central Portal of CPCB and any delay reported here is taken up immediately with the concerned agencies.

vii. Data availability at central portal of CPCB is the responsibility of each industrial unit.

viii. The standard statistical reports in the form of graphs, tables, etc will be basic features of the platform. New reports will be generated on need-basis from time to time.

i. The camera feed and flow data in an industrial unit should be linked and provided at same place. The units have to provide dedicated leased-line of Internet for continuous transmission of camera feed.

ii. The camera feed should be integrated with all camera controls (pan, zoom, tilt) and shown on central platform, where data on other parameters is displayed/ submitted. CPCB doesn't accept pre-requirement of any plug-in software for data display or data submission.

iii. The historical data of camera recordings should be kept for a minimum period of 2 months in a DVR at industrial unit, accessible to CPCB and SPCB at all times.

iv. Each industrial unit will provide separate flow meter for each stream. In no case two different streams such as Low-Total-Dissolved-Solids (LTDS) and High-Total-Dissolved-Solids (HTDS) will use common flow meter.

v. Flow and cumulative totalizer data is shown in the display and hourly and daily reports are generated. The exceedances are recorded as per the limits given in Consent to Operate and alerts ar generated, whenever exceedances occur.
