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
