Process Emissions Monitoring

Process Emissions Monitoring is most commonly carried out for organisations who are a SEPA or EA governed Authorised site. Primarily, the monitoring is carried out to ensure that the organisation is complying with the strict regulations of the authorisation process, but can also be useful for other purposes such as planning considerations.

ACS staff are able to undertake Process Emissions Monitoring for a variety of solvents, dusts and gases. Initially, the measuring programme involves measurements being taken from within ducts, vents and/or chimneys within the site. The measurement levels are then compared within the relevant guidelines specific to the emission. Upon completion of the site work, a full written report is produced providing details on the results from the measuring programme and, where applicable, suggested engineering solutions and best available techniques to control the emissions.


Air Quality Monitoring

Air Quality Monitoring is most commonly carried out to satisfy local planning conditions or to ensure that an organisation complies with the conditions of specific regulatory Authorisations. Primarily, the process is undertaken to monitor and measure the quality of the air at ground level in the external environment. Typically, this is carried out at the site boundary, to ensure that a factory is not exceeding the regulatory limits for spreading emissions into the atmosphere which could cause harm or offence to local residents or the local environment.

The level of the contaminant is measured and then compared to its relevant guidelines and applicable limits. Upon completion of the site work, a full written report is produced providing details on the results from the measuring programme and where applicable, suggested engineering solutions and best available techniques to control the emissions.
