The needs for Stack Emission Testing and Ambient Air monitoring are changing, quickly and drastically. Industries from non-metallic mineral processors to synthetic organic chemical manufacturers and from clean fuel boilers to hazardous waste incinerators are experiencing new or revamped environmental regulations. “Criteria pollutants” are no longer the primary environmental concern. Now, industries are also concerned with hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), maximum achievable control technologies (MACT), Title V, metals, dioxin, speciated organics and a population that is much more aware of air quality. As environmental regulations outpace method development and technology, sampling expertise and regulatory knowledge are paramount to a successful testing program.
The Pace Analytical Field Services Division maintains a veteran staff that has the expertise to lead our industry in this dynamic environment. We specialize in innovative solutions to environmental challenges and continual improvement to routine methodologies as well as conformance to EPA stack testing guidance. We are equipped with state of the art equipment and cutting edge technologies. Our philosophy is to work in partnership with our clients to meet regulatory commitments, optimize processes, and identify process improvements.
