Stack emissions testing: 

Stack emissions testing is a crucial process in ensuring environmental compliance for industrial facilities.  

These tests are essential to identify and mitigate potential pollutants emitted from stacks that may harm the environment and human health.  

Operational’s stack emissions testing service goes beyond mere review; it also includes the capability to address and resolve issues identified during the testing process, streamlining the corrective measures and minimising the need for multiple suppliers. 

Compliance with stack emissions testing regulations 

In the UK, industrial facilities are subject to strict mandatory compliance requirements regarding stack emissions. Permits granted by the Environmental Agency or Local Authorities include specifications for stack emission testing, outlining emission limits, testing frequency, and the required test types. These specifications are tailored to the potential environmental impact of each facility. 

MCERT-approved stack emission tests 

To ensure compliance with permit requirements, stack emission testing must be conducted by individuals accredited by the MCERTS (Monitoring Certification Scheme) program.  

Operational’s Service and Maintenance offering includes MCERTS Level II trained professionals capable of providing various emission testing services: 

• Stack Emission Testing: This involves examining the characteristics of waste gas stream emissions to ensure they meet environmental regulations. 
• Stack Particulate Testing: This specifically focuses on the particulate matter emitted from stacks, addressing potential air quality concerns. 
• Destruction Efficiency Testing: This assesses the effectiveness of the facility’s processes in destroying pollutants before they are released into the atmosphere. 

The dedicated MCERT engineer assigned to your facility will specify emission limits, testing frequency, and the required test types based on the unique characteristics of your operations. By engaging with Operational’s stack emissions testing services, industrial facilities can not only fulfil regulatory requirements but also proactively address and resolve issues, contributing to a cleaner environment and safeguarding public health.
