| Source Monitoring Services |
AEC offers a full complement
of source monitoring services to meet a client's individual
testing needs. Whether a client needs annual compliance testing,
detailed engineering tests, or CEM certifications, AEC's versatile
staff can design and execute even the most complex testing programs.
AEC's source testing services include:
- Initial Performance
Testing
- Compliance Testing
- Continuous Emissions
Monitoring
- CEM Relative
Accuracy Test Audits (RATA)
- Cylinder Gas
Audits
- Destruction
Efficiency Testing
- Visible Opacity
Observations
- Parametric Monitoring
Studies
- Research and
Design Testing
AEC personnel are
experienced and have implemented multiple site, multiple source,
and multiple method testing programs. AEC is equipped to conduct
simultaneous testing on several stacks, or to perform concurrent
inlet and outlet testing. Industry testing experience includes:
- Agriculture
- Cement and Lime
Kilns
- Chemical Manufacturing
- Food Processing
- Incinerators
- Metals and Mining
- Oil and Gas
- Power Plants
- Semiconductor
Fabrication
- Flares
AEC personnel have
worked directly with regulatory agencies in Arizona, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Kentucky, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon,
Nebraska, Texas, Utah, and Washington. When necessary, AEC
can act as an intermediary between the client and the regulatory
agency.

AEC utilizes proven
source monitoring equipment integrated with automated data collection
and computer technology to allow fast efficient testing while
ensuring accurate, dependable results. On-site computer software
allows the calculation of stack flow data within minutes of
each sample run, while data from continuous monitors are collected
with a datalogger and downloaded to a personal computer for
immediate data processing. This allows AEC to provide wet test
stack flow data and results from continuous emissions monitors
(including relative accuracy test audit data) at the end of
each run. These automated data collection capabilities allow
AEC to complete quality assurance procedures and issue a testing
report in a short period of time.
In addition to
regulatory agency promulgated source test methods, AEC offers
custom methods and equipment to suit special needs. The following
