Before your company has formal air emission testing completed, there are a variety of steps that can be completed to ensure the efficiency of the testing and accuracy of the results. The more prepared you are for your testing, the more relevance the results will have for your company. It can also ensure the adherence of the guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Follow Manufacturer Guidelines
When you are preparing your equipment for an emissions test, it is important to ensure proper functioning of the equipment. The appropriate functioning of the equipment will ensure accurate results of your testing. It will also help you pay closer attention to the operations of your equipment and what preventive maintenance needs to be performed to ensure optimal functioning of you equipment during the testing.
Perform Pretesting
Performing pretesting prior to formal air emission testing can help a company determine if your equipment is operating under compliance before the formal testing occurs. This enables you to make any necessary changes to ensure your equipment is operating under the appropriate guidelines in time. These changes could include actual repairs that need to be completed to bring your equipment back to the levels the guidelines require.
Operating at Capacity
Every industry has different requirements that pertain to its individual operation. One factor that remains constant throughout any industry, however, is the requirement to be conducted while the facility is running at full capacity. This ensures all aspects of the company’s functioning are running under required guidelines, even while under capacity. It is to your company’s best interest to perform pre-testing at this level of capacity to determine if any changes need to be made prior to the formal testing.
In order to best prepare for formal air emission testing to ensure your facility is functioning under the EPA’s guidelines, pretesting is recommended. This enables you to see firsthand how your company stacks up and to determine if there are any required changes before testing. This eliminates the risk of obtaining poor results from the formal tests. When you follow the manufacturer’s guidelines of operating the equipment, operate at capacity and follow all standards of formal testing, you will have appropriate results in regard to your facility’s capabilities. Having the ability to catch problems before they are submitted to the EPA can save you time, headaches and money.
