AIR EMISSION INVENTORY DEVELOPMENT

Virtually every air quality consulting project involves development of emissions estimates for the air pollutant sources. Emissions estimates and limits are used in the context of all air permitting projects to determine applicable regulatory requirements.

Determining the potential to emit for a piece of equipment or an entire facility may include using mass balance techniques, emissions monitoring data, appropriate emission factors, engineering calculations, or a combination of these methods.

Our experience assessing many industrial processes keeps K2EC air quality engineers apprised of emission factors and estimation methods approved by regulatory agencies, and enables us to make reasonable emission estimates for unusual or complex source configurations.
