,
provides environmental air quality studies that can be grouped into the
following areas:
Air Emission Analysis
The services offered by Shell Engineering
are widely varied, but typically focus on air compliance issues.
Services include quantification, assistance in emission inventory
questionnaires, emission factor development, emission reduction
analysis, emission management programs including compliance with MACT
standards, indoor air sampling and oversight of stack testing
activities.
Air toxic analysis includes monitoring, quantification of emissions,
SARA reporting, modeling of air toxics and accidental releases, and the
evaluation of control devices for technical and economic feasibility and
evaluation of controls in reference to regulatory requirements. Odor and
noise studies include assessment, examination of regulatory rules and
environmental constraints, assessment of control technologies and
development strategies to minimize the potential problems.
BACT Study and Its Integration for Pollution Control
Shell Engineering can provide
detailed studies to determine the Best Available Control Technology (BACT)
for controlling air pollutants at the client's facility. A typical BACT
study includes a technical literature search of control equipment that
has been used on similar facilities/processes. Controls are rated on the
basis of technical feasibility, economic feasibility and environmental
superiority.
BACT is usually performed for facilities which are attempting to
minimize air pollution. However, the same process can be used to analyze
different process controls which may be applicable to the client's
facility.
Air Permitting & PSD Evaluation
Shell Engineering has extensive
experience in all types of air permitting, including Prevention of
Significant Determination (PSD) permits and has worked for a large
variety of industries, including manufacturing, mining, and power
generation.
Shell Engineering has a thorough and systematic approach to PSD
evaluation. First, the experienced staff will determine if your
environmental situation is applicable to PSD. If it is subject to PSD
review, the modeling and engineering staff will:
