The Crucial Need for Measuring Nitrous Oxide (N2O) Emissions from Wastewater Treatment Plants
Wastewater treatment plants are indispensable infrastructures for maintaining public health and environmental quality. However, these facilities are not only responsible for purifying water; they also emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases, including nitrous oxide (N2O). Despite its potency as a greenhouse gas, the monitoring and measurement of N2O emissions from wastewater treatment plants ...

Fugitive Emissions and How to Convert Concentration to Mass
The year was 1996 and 11-year-old me (Kevin Moses), and my 9-year-old brother, were up to no good, or so we thought. Mom and Dad left us in the hands of our very capable teenage sister, who was undoubtedly talking on the cordless phone in her room. Recently Dad left a video in the VCR called “Fugitive Emissions” and this was the moment we had been waiting for. Popcorn made, we sit ...

Your local waste management operation spends more time on odour management than you think
When it comes to odour management at landfills, it’s widely accepted that prevention is better than a cure. Any possibility of slightly reducing odour impact can save navigating the fallout of a disruptive situation for waste management operations and local communities. However, odour is notoriously difficult to measure and manage. Moreover, limiting the impact of offensive odours is a ...

Saskatchewan Battles One-Size Fits All Carbon Tax
Scott Moe, Saskatchewan’s Premier, does not support the Federal Carbon Pricing Backstop. In a joint statement released with Ontario Premier, Doug Ford, the two agreed to join forces and exhaust all tools to challenge the federal government’s authority to impose a carbon tax on the provinces. The movement continues to grow as other provinces reject the federal plan and threaten to ...

The three pillars of odour management plans at wastewater treatment plants
The world’s cities are expanding. Urbanisation drives rapid growth to their fringes everywhere. Odour management plans that were once effective for wastewater treatment facilities years or decades ago are in many cases insufficient due to community expectations. For wastewater treatment plant operators servicing growing communities, protecting their social license to operate by quickly ...

What Are VOCs, and What is VOC Removal?
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are necessary compounds used in household chemicals, industrial manufacturing processes, or are byproducts of exhaust from automobiles, aircraft, and small engines. They can be harmful to the environment and to people, and can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, cause severe headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, memory impairment, and even some ...

Emissions Testing
What Is Stack Emissions Testing? Stack emissions testing (stack sampling or stack monitoring) is the experimental process for evaluating the characteristics of waste gas stream emissions into the atmosphere from industrial facilities to meet environmental standards. Stack testing measures the amount of specific regulated pollutants or surrogates being emitted or determines the destruction or ...

Solutions for Coating VOC & HAP Abatement
Overview Our planet is getting warmer. At what rate it is occurring or how much human activity has to do with the increasing temperatures is a heated debate. One thing we do know for sure is that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a contributing factor in global warming and humans are responsible for a large portion of these emissions. These days, many individuals and businesses alike are trying to reduce ...

Emissions monitoring on ships and an insight into the maritime directive
Shipping continues to grow for the purposes of trade and transportation. This growth is often close to densely populated shores, for example the port of Antwerp in Belgium, Hamburg in Germany and the Bosphorus in Turkey. Air emissions from the marine industry therefore are becoming more important and are increasingly subject to strict targets for reduction of oxides of sulphur (SOx) and nitrogen ...

NEO Monitors conquers the Quasi-impossible
China is a world factory powered by its abundant coal resource. China is facing a huge environmental challenge brought together with the fossil-fired power plants. China has therefore been conducting technical retrofit to the engines of its economy, by introducing emission control facilities. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology is one of the most widely applied emission control ...

How big a problem are methane emissions and what can we do about it?
Methane emissions and their climate effects have been given an increasing amount of attention over the last few years from academia, industry and policy makers. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have lead the way in proposing new performance standards to reduce methane emissions from the natural gas industry by 40% by 2025 from 2005 levels. But how much of a climate problem really is ...

Mobile Stationary Source Emissions Testing, Coming to a Facility Near You?
Last week, Antea Group had the unique opportunity to perform a RATA (relative accuracy test audit) of the emissions from a thermal oxidizer at an ethanol production facility located in Minnesota using a state-of-the-art mobile testing laboratory. During this RATA audit, actual stack emissions levels (including NOx, SOx, CO2, CO, O2, flow rate, temperature, velocity and pressure) from the thermal ...

Case study: To steamroll asphalt odors, Denali materials uses Ecosorb natural odor eliminators from OMI Industries
Problem Denali Materials, located in Anchorage, Alaska, sells virgin asphalt mixes and various polymer-modified grades of asphalt. The area surrounding Denali's facility was victim to the odorous emissions common to the manufacture and transfer of asphalt products, but Denali was determined to suppress odor emissions. Solution Denali Materials uses Ecosorb 206A additive during various stages ...
