ESS began regularly stack testing stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) in 2010 due to the promulgation of 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ on March 3rd, 2010. Since then, ESS has conducted over 600 stack tests on RICE engines.
The EPA has three regulations that govern stationary engines:
ESS sets the standard for client support when it comes to stack testing. Our dedicated RICE mobile laboratory is equipped with backup analyzers and its own power source. We offer solutions that include wellness checks, temporary stack construction, operational data documentation and verification, and notification of compliance (NOC) preparation. ESS regularly conducts stack tests from Northern NY to Southern Florida in every state west of Colorado.
The EPA is proposing a federal plan that would cut pollution from power plants and industrial sources that significantly contribute to unhealthy levels of ground-level ozone, or smog, for millions of Americans who live downwind.
The U.S. EPA signed an amendment to the rule on February 28, 2022 that removes the stay of the formaldehyde limit for lean premix and diffusion flame gas-fired units that were constructed or reconstructed after January 14, 2003.
“What’s in my CPM?” Many compounds can condense and form particulate matter at ambient conditions. Identifying which compound is most prevalent can help in determining control measures to reduce CPM.
The EPA announced a new effort under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to modernize the process and bring innovative science to the review of new chemicals before they can enter the marketplace.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released publicly available, annual data on 2021 emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and mercury from power plants in the lower 48 states.
