Stack emission monitoring
RPS delivers stack emission monitoring to support our clients meet their regulatory requirements
Â
Finding pragmatic solutions to complex situations is very much part of our DNA. Monitoring stack emissions monitoring and analysis is important for regulatory process control requirements, and we have a wealth of experience in undertaking this work. We work closely with our clients throughout the UK, Ireland, Europe and the Middle East, delivering a complete emissions monitoring service to support them with their regulatory compliance in context of atmospheric and workplace exposure.
Challenge
Our client attended a wood waste plant to undertake atmospheric emissions where their waste process involved the combustion / incineration of various types of wood, which could include coated fuel, potentially emitting chlorides and plywood/chipboard which contains formaldehyde, into the atmosphere. Due to COVID site restrictions, this work needed to be delivered quickly and on budget.
Solution
Working together, we developed a one sample train methodology which, allowed the client to keep time on site and equipment used to a minimum, enabling a cost-effective saving solution for our client. We collected all samples at the same time and used methods US EPA 316 for formaldehyde analysis and BS EN 1911 for chloride analysis. Â
