Air Quality Services and Compliance Monitoring

Isokinetic Sampling Services (Particulates, Aerosols and Mists)

Apex Emission Testing utilises US EPA Sampling Methodology to accurately determine concentrations and mass flow rates for any of the following process, or combustion, related parameters:
  • Temperatures and Pressures (static and velocity),
  • Stack gas molecular weight,
  • Stack gas moisture content,
  • Volumetric flow rates.

Concentrations and mass flows of:

  • Acids (Organic and Inorganic),
  • Dioxins and Furans (PCDD/PCDF),
  • Metals (Antimony (Sb), Arsenic (As), Barium (Ba), Beryllium (Be), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb), Manganese (Mn), Mercury (Hg), Nickel (Ni), Phosphorus (P), Selenium (Se), Silver (Ag), Thallium (Tl), Zinc (Zn))
  • Oil Mists (Vegetable, Mineral etc.),
  • Particulates (PM2.5, PM10 and Total PM)
