Stack Pressure Transmitters
Reliable, non-invasive flow monitoring solutions designed for demanding industrial environments and regulatory compliance
Overview
Stack pressure transmitters are critical for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of combustion systems, emissions control devices, and process stacks. These sensors provide continuous measurement of draft pressure or static pressure in exhaust stacks, chimneys, or ducts—data that directly affects system efficiency, regulatory compliance, and operational safety.
Used in power plants, refineries, and waste-to-energy facilities, stack pressure transmitters enable real-time feedback to optimize combustion control, reduce pollutant emissions, and protect downstream equipment. These solutions support businesses in meeting stringent environmental and safety standards across North America.
At Emissions and Stack Monitoring Instruments, we deliver stack pressure transmitters that offer industrial-grade durability, high-accuracy sensing, and seamless integration with modern digital control systems. Our B2B customers rely on us for products and systems that perform in the harshest environments while providing actionable data for smarter decision-making.

Case Studies
Gas-Fired Power Plant, Ohio
A utility operator in Ohio implemented stack pressure transmitters from Emissions and Stack Monitoring Instruments to resolve inconsistent draft issues. The real-time data allowed operators to fine-tune airflow and combustion rates, resulting in a 22% improvement in boiler efficiency and reduced NOx emissions.
Industrial Food Processing Plant, Minnesota
Our team deployed pressure sensors integrated with the client’s PLC system to automate draft control in multiple ovens and exhaust systems. Over a 6-month period, energy costs decreased by 15%, and temperature consistency during processing improved significantly.
Biomass Energy Facility, British Columbia
At a biomass plant in British Columbia, fluctuating stack pressure had led to repeated shutdowns. We provided a cloud-connected monitoring system using robust differential pressure transmitters with alarm integration. System downtime was cut by 40%, while compliance documentation was automated for provincial reporting.
