Protocol2 offers complete source emission testing projects using both Manual and Instrumental Analyzer methods. We have the ability to test for multi component parameters simultaneously and routinely carry out multi parameter projects. Target parameters include but are not limited to:
•Sulphur dioxide (SO₂), sulphur trioxide (SO₃) & acid mist
•Nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) - nitric oxide (NO) & nitrogen dioxide (NO₂)
•Ammonia (NH₃)
•Fluoride (F¯) & fluorine (F₂)
•Hydrogen halides - hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen bromide (HBr) & hydrogen fluoride (HF)
•Halogens - chlorine (Cl₂) & bromine (Br₂)
•Particulate matter (total, condensable & noncondensable, PM10/2.5 &
particle size distribution)
•Multiple metals (low mass & high mass), mercury & mercury speciation & hexavalent chromium
•Semi-volatile organics (dioxins & furans, PCB’s, PAH’s)
•Volatile organic compounds
•Trace sulphur compounds (TRS)
•Total hydrocarbons (THC)
•Phenol (C₆H₅OH) & formaldehyde (H₂CO)
•Fixed gases (O₂, CO₂, CO)
Manual or Wet Chemistry Testing This procedure involves the collection of field samples using various collection media to collect the target parameter(s). These could be absorbing solutions, filters, or specialty tubes containing solid absorption media. After passing the effluent sample through the collection media (at a known sample rate and sample duration) to concentrate it, the media which contains the concentrated samples are recovered in a controlled environment following the procedures as outlined in the sampling methods. Sampling media is then sent to an ISO/CALA certified laboratory for analysis. Samples of this nature are typically collected over a specific time period ranging from 1 – 4 hours and results are not instantaneous since samples are sent to an external lab for analysis.
Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) This procedure involves the analysis of target parameter(s) using calibrated instrumental analyzers. Samples are withdrawn from the source and passed through the analyzers on a continuous basis. An electronic data logger system is used to collect and store all analyzer responses. This system continually polls each analyzer once per second, calculates one minute averages, and stores these data points in its internal RAM memory. The one minute averages are then sent to the CEM computer software where the data is displayed in real time as graphs or charts. Data can then be incorporated into a worksheet or printed out as desired. Parameter data is real time and results are generated onsite and can be available to the client immediately. This allows our clients to make process or operational decisions in a time effective manner.
Our management and project teams have a vast amount of experience providing air emissions/air quality testing to a variety of industries including:
•Oil & Gas, Petrochemical
•Steel Manufacturing
•Utilities & Power
•Glass Manufacturing
•Chemical Manufacturing
•Compressors and Compressor Stations
•Concrete & Asphalt Production
•Food & Beverage
•Pilot Plants
•Incineration (medical, municipal, industrial, hazardous waste)
•Asphalt Plants
•Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
•Soil Remediation
•Pulp & Paper, Wood Products
•Mining
•Plastic Manufacturing
•Fertilizer Manufacturing
We adhere to strict QA/QC sampling, analytical and reporting protocols, covering all aspects of the project including equipment maintenance & calibration, project development & preparation, sampling, sample recovery & technical reporting. All sample analysis is completed by a CALA & ISO certified laboratory with extensive experience in the analysis and reporting of air emission samples.
Protocol2 provides initial consultations and detailed project development plans prior to any mobilization. Our detailed technical proposals outline the full terms of our services and your project scope, with no hidden costs. We pride ourselves in quality and transparent service.
We guarantee our service adheres to all regulatory guidelines and your defined scope of work, or we will redo the work absolutely free of charge. Our experience and qualifications result in confidence that you will get the job done right the first time and complete jobs on schedule.
