AirRecon is the dedicated stack and air testing group of LFR Inc. (LFR).

The value of working with AirRecon will be apparent from the initial consultation through the final report. Our experienced and highly trained personnel have the knowledge base to assist you with the most complex issues.

AirRecon personnel understand the processes being tested and apply this knowledge in planning, performing relevant tests, and interpreting emissions data. Often our observations lead to recommendations for improving process performance and reduce operating costs.

 

PROTOCOL DEVELOPMENT
AirRecon can develop air testing protocols for compliance testing programs. Working closely with facility and regulatory personnel, AirRecon will develop a cost-effective testing strategy to satisfy regulatory requirements

STATE-OF-THE-ART SAMPLING EQUIPMENT AND MOBILE LABORATORIES
AirRECON maintains an extensive inventory of traditional and state-of-the-artsampling equipment and analyzers capable of performing nearly all of the manual and instrument test methods required by today’s regulations. When appropriate, AirRECON will bring our experience and equipment to your facility in one of our four mobile laboratories. Our mobile labs are capable of performing real-time emissions monitoring of O2, CO2, CO, NOx, SO2, and THC. Our experts can troubleshoot your existing control systems to optimize features implicit in your existing operations, or evaluate new approaches to achieve or maintain compliance more effectively and economically. Our services range from conceptual design, construction, installation, and startup training to complete turnkey project management.

COMPLIANCE TESTING OF STATIONARY SOURCES
AirRECON® routinely performs instrumental and manual sampling programs using State and EPA approved test methods to demonstrate compliance with air emissions limits. Typical pollutant types sampled and analyzed include:
• Particulates: Total, Condensable, PM10, PM 2.5
• Metals
• Total and Specific Hydrocarbons
• Nitrogen Oxides
• Carbon Monoxide
• Ammonia
• Air Toxics
• Aldehydes and Ketones
• Hydrogen Sulfide
• Hydrogen Chloride
• Sulfur Oxides
• Odors
• Mists and Aerosols
• Dioxins, Furans
• POHCs, PICs
• Opacity

CEMs AND PEMs
Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMs) or Predictive Emission Monitoring Systems (PEMs) are required for many sources as compliance tools for measuring and recording air emissions. The data generated by these systems can also provide plant personnel with pertinent information concerning the condition of an air pollution control system and even insight to process operations that can be used to improve performance. Typical emissions monitoring systems measure carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, total hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and oxygen.

The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 60, Appendices B & F and 40 CFR Part 75 specify requirements for design, performance and installation, and procedures for evaluating CEMs/PEMs. AirRECON has assisted hundreds of facilities in each of the following aspects of procuring and operating a successful emissions monitoring system:

• Technical investigation to select a suitable system
• Equipment protocol preparation
• System installation and start-up
• Performance Specification Testing (PST)
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC Plan) development
• Performance of RATAs and CGAs
