EMISSION TESTING
APEX Environmental is well-resourced to perform source emission projects of any size and complexity. Our sophisticated state-of-the-art instrumentation, as well as a staff of experienced professionals, ensures a premier service for our clients.
Some indicators of when stack sampling at an industrial source is conducted, include:
| to satisfy testing conditions described in facility permit and approvals | |
| to develop accurate emission inventories and emission factors | |
| to understand and adjust industrial processes | |
| to determine pollutant impacts from specific sources |
STACK SAMPLING TEST METHODS
Stack sampling test methods follow procedures and techniques described in US-EPA source testing codes. There are numerous recognised test methods for measuring industrial stack emissions, of which APEX Environmental uses the following:
| Method 1-5 |
Determination of particulate emissions from stationary sources |
| Method 6 |
Determination of SO2 emissions from stationary sources |
| Method 6C |
Determination of SO2 emissions from stationary sources (analyzer method) |
| Method 7 |
Determination of NOX emissions from stationary sources |
| Method 7E |
Determination of NOX emissions from stationary sources (analyzer method) |
| Method 8 |
Determination of sulfuric acid mist and sulfur dioxide |
| Method 10 |
Determination of carbon monoxide |
| Method 18 |
Measurement of gaseous organic compound emissions by GC |
| Method 23 |
Determination of dioxins and furans from stationary sources |
| Method 26 |
Determination of HCl emissions from stationary sources |
| Method 26A |
Determination of hydrogen halide and halogen emissions |
| Method 29 |
Determination of metals emissions from stationary sources |
