Introduction: Emissions Testing

REC provides a customer focused emission monitoring service, with the ability to monitor emissions from IPPC, IPC and APC processes. REC prides itself on the experience of its staff and on the quality credentials that underpin the service that it provides.

Customer Focus:
National and International coverage from one of our six strategically placed regional offices.
REC is able to provide a fast response service, including an emergency CEM replacement service.
Our standard turnaround time of fifteen working days can be decreased, at a premium, to “next day” for on-line gas analysis, and five working days for all sampling that requires analysis, other than dioxins.
REC provides a detailed test report that contains all site data sheets.

Incinerator/Thermal Oxidiser Compliance Monitoring
Monitoring of municipal, clinical, chemical waste incinerators and thermal oxidisers to demonstrate compliance with statutory emission limits. Pollutants monitored include combustion and acid gases, particulates, PM10 and PM2.5, heavy metals, mercury, dioxins and furans, PCBs and PAHs. We have also undertaken a number plant commissioning trials in the UK and Ireland.

We have also been involved in funded trials for new pilot schemes involving the processing of municipal waste into renewable fuels. REC has also worked on various overseas projects including monitoring in Azerbaijan on behalf of an oil company funded by the World Bank.

Crematoria Monitoring
REC have undertaken compliance monitoring projects from over 40 Crematoria located throughout the UK, either as the main contractor or as a sub-contractor. Testing has been carried out in accordance with the latest PG 5/2 requirements.

Metals Processing Industry
REC have undertaken emissions monitoring from a range of metal processes including steelworks, aluminium works and metal processing works (e.g. anodising, etching and galvanising). Monitoring has been undertaken for various pollutants including particulates, VOCs, HCl, HF and acid mists in order to demonstrate compliance with Authorization requirements.

Boiler/Turbine Monitoring
REC have undertaken emissions monitoring form a range of combustion processes including gas or dual fired turbines and oil, coal, wood and gas fired boiler plant.

Coating Processes
Monitoring of VOCs, particulates, isocyanates and other pollutants from a wide range of processes including spraying of aircraft parts, submarines and cars.

Monitoring of Emissions from Landfill Engines & Flares
Under IPPC landfill operators are now required to monitor emission of various pollutants from reciprocating engines and flares. REC has carried out a large number of surveys either directly to landfill operators or sub-contracted through other consultancies. Monitoring has been undertaken to determine inlet gas composition as well as stack gas emissions for dioxins and furans, HCl, HF, combustion gases, total VOCs and speciated VOCs.

Monitoring of Large Combustion Plant to BS EN 14181
REC has carried out a number of site audits to assess the performance of sites automated monitoring system (AMS) against the BS EN 14181 (QAL2) standard. This involves statistical analysis of both the AMS data and monitoring data generated from the use of standard reference methods by REC.

Monitoring of Emissions from Kilns
Monitoring of combustion and acid gases and particulate matter from a range of chamber and tunnel kilns.
