  • PSTs (Performance Specifications Tests)
  • Process tests and data collection
  • Emission factor/emission inventory tests
  • Emission characterization
  • Mobile CEMS Laboratories
  • Performance Specification Testing
  • CO, CO2, O2, SO2, and NOx
  • Total Gaseous Organics
  • 3-D Pilot Flow Studies
  • Capture Efficiency (CE) Determinations
  • Thermal Oxidizer Temperature Optimization
  • RCRA/TSCA Trial Burns
  • VOC Emissions Profiling
