Dynoptic Systems

What Dynoptic Systems does

Dynoptic Systems is a UK-based designer and manufacturer of continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) for industrial stacks and marine vessels. Its product portfolio centers on the proprietary DSL monitor series — opacity monitors (DSL-220, DSL-320, DSL-460), dust monitors (DSL-240, DSL-340), particulate monitors (DSL-230, DSL-330, DSL-460, DSL-800), and the SM-202M marine smoke monitor — which use optical measurement techniques to provide continuous, regulator-compliant emissions data. The DSL-460 uniquely combines opacity and particulate sensing in a single instrument.

Founded in the mid-1980s and headquartered in Banbury, Dynoptic has operated for over three decades as a niche instrumentation specialist serving industrial facilities (power, cement, metals, incineration) and marine/shipping operators subject to environmental emissions rules. Since its 2019 acquisition by Acoem Group, Dynoptic functions as a core product brand within a larger environmental monitoring group of nearly 1,000 employees operating 6 manufacturing facilities and 5 R&D centers across 9 countries. Under Acoem ownership, Dynoptic's hardware is distributed globally through Acoem's network of 200+ distributors reaching nearly 100 countries, with inbound sales leads routed through Acoem's HubSpot-based contact infrastructure and Acoem regional websites.

The company generates revenue through hardware sales of precision monitoring instruments, with a contact-based enterprise sales motion rather than disclosed public pricing. It does not develop software, AI/ML products, or subscription services based on the available data; its value proposition rests on regulatory-compliant measurement accuracy, durability in harsh industrial environments, and the reach of its parent group's distribution.

Core offering

Dynoptic Systems designs and manufactures Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) for industrial stack emissions and marine applications. Its DSL-series product line includes opacity monitors (DSL-220, DSL-320, DSL-460), dust monitors (DSL-240, DSL-340), particulate matter monitors (DSL-800, DSL-230, DSL-330, DSL-460), and the SM-202M marine smoke monitor, sold to industrial operators and marine/shipping customers for regulatory compliance and air quality control. Since 2019 the products have been distributed globally through parent company Acoem Group's distribution network.

Product overview

Dynoptic Systems, an Acoem Group brand, provides a comprehensive suite of DSL Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems designed for industrial and marine applications. The product portfolio centers on four main categories: opacity monitors (DSL-220, DSL-320, DSL-460) for measuring light obscuration in industrial stack emissions; dust monitors (DSL-240, DSL-340) for continuous dust measurement in industrial environments; particulate matter monitors (DSL-800, DSL-460, DSL-230, DSL-330) for high-accuracy air pollution control; and the SM-202M marine smoke monitor for compliance with international marine emissions regulations. The DSL-460 uniquely combines opacity and particulate monitoring capabilities in a single device. These products are distributed globally through Acoem's network following the 2019 acquisition.
