Air Monitoring
This covers monitoring campaigns of boilers for efficiency, SOx, NOx and particulates, FID monitoring of thermal oxidisers, monitoring of stacks for VOCs and MDI through to dioxins and furans - and everything in between. Environmental Efficiency’s air monitoring technicians all have Safe Pass certification plus MCERTS accreditation. In addition, all staff members have had extensive inhouse training on all aspects of air monitoring and reporting of results.
One recent change to air monitoring required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is that all reporting should be to EPA standard AG2. This requires a significant amount of information to be presented in a standardised format, including the uncertainty of measurement. This effectively ends the option of clients writing their own air monitoring reports based on Certificate of Analysis issued by a sub contract lab. Environmental Efficiency now provides reports fully compliant with this new requirement at no extra cost. Where monitoring shows that one or more emission limits have been breached, Environmental Efficiency can advise on steps to resolve the problem. The company is able to do this, as - besides carrying out air monitoring - Environmental Efficiency also offers engineering consultancy. Trained staff can advise on changes to processes, possible abatement strategies or undertake air dispersion modelling to determine whether there is any adverse environmental impact. Having its own Mechanical and Process engineers on its staff enables this consultancy to be offered - again with one point of contact.
Where occupational air monitoring indicates there are problems with the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) being exceeded, Environmental Efficiency can advise as to how to proceed. One significant advantage of using Environmental Efficiency - and one that is often cited by clients - is that Environmental Efficiency is not just an air monitoring organisation, but a full service environmental and engineering consultancy. This means that it can also advise on how to reduce the level of occupational exposure. Possible options may include assessment of the effectiveness of any air extraction system (often referred to as Local Exhaust Ventilation) with recommendations as to changes required, substitution of hazardous substances with less hazardous substances, limiting operator exposure - or, as a last resort, improved PPE.
