Continuous Monitoring Systems and Emission Systems (CMS/CEMS): On the Cutting-Edge of Safety and Industrial...
Whether it is at the behest of the community, site workers, or company leadership, implementing a continuous monitoring system (CMS) is a strategic move with regulatory, safety, and industrial hygienic benefits. A CMS detects and measures volatile, air toxic, and hazardous compounds in ambient air within and around a facility.
Sources of GHGs and Ways to Reduce Them: Part Two
In 1987, the United Nations defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” In 2005, the acronym ESG - Environmental, Social Responsibility, and Governance – was coined and in many conversations is interpreted to mean ‘environmental sustainability.’
Recent Advancements in Bottom-Up Quantification of Fugitive Emissions Using Optical Gas Imaging
Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) technology has proven to be a very useful technology for detecting and visualizing small gas leaks in petroleum refineries and other oil & gas facilities.
How The EPA’s Increased Monitoring Could Affect A Facility
Monitoring air emissions at U.S. industrial facilities historically has been based on monitoring individual emissions sources, such as periodic stack testing for stack emissions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Method 21 for emissions from LDAR components, and CEMS.
How to Ensure Stress-Free Stack Testing
Environmental Managers (EMs) are often required to burn the candle at both ends. Especially in trying times when many job positions are unfilled, EMs are not only the point at which the buck stops for the environmental protection activities of a company, but also the health and safety requirements.
