AIR PERMITTING
Flexotherm can help you obtain and maintain air quality permitting for your
facility. Whether you are opening a new plant or updating an existing permit,
we can save you time, money, and effort by guiding you through the regulatory
process thus allowing you to achieve your business goals within the shortest
amount of time possible. Our practice in the industry has provided us with
invaluable experience and relationships that will greatly benefit your
company.
The following is a short list of regulatory issues that we deal with on
a daily basis. For more information on any of the following, please
Contact us today.
SIP Permitting
Required by states to which EPA has delegated
authority, these permits are sometimes required for small new
facilities or modifications to existing facilities. Our
engineers have developed a cost-effective permitting strategy
that, in many cases, allows the avoidance of the most costly and
restrictive regulations (such as PSD and NSR), while ensuring
operational flexibility for the facility. We assemble complete
and accurate permit application submittals with a full description
of rule applicability to ensure a rapid and favorable review
process by the state. We follow up with the regulatory permit
engineering department personnel, many of whom we have worked with
before, to keep the process moving forward as expeditiously as
possible.
Title V Permitting
Required by the EPA for most major sources,
as well as all NSPS, PSD review sources, and NESHAPS sources.
Title V permits are issued for a term of up to five years and must
include all applicable CAA requirements, a schedule of compliance
and applicable monitoring, and reporting requirements. We
assemble complete and accurate permit application submittals,
including Compliance Assurance Monitoring Plans, dispersion
modeling results, and process flow and other necessary drawings
and supporting documentation to ensure a rapid and favorable
review process. We follow up with the permit engineering, many of
whom we have worked with before, to keep the process moving
forward as expeditiously as possible.
Dispersion Modeling
The atmospheric dispersion of pollutants depends on a variety of factors,
including the physical and chemical nature of the effluents, the
meteorological characteristics of the environment, the location of the
emission point with relation to obstructions, and the nature of the terrain
downwind of the emission point. Our professional engineers and
scientists employ state-of-the-art air dispersion modeling
techniques and software that have gained wide regulatory
acceptance, including SCREEN, ISCST, CalPuff, AerMod, Slab and
others. Completed reports include the necessary technical detail
that ensures rapid review and acceptance by regulators, while
providing clear and understandable results for facility
decision-makers.
MACT Compliance Plans
MACT, or Maximum Achievable Control
Technology, is defined as the average emission limitation achieved
in practice by the best performing 12 percent of the existing
sources in that category. Many of the MACT standards require
compliance plans, including Operations, Maintenance and Monitoring
(OM&M) Plans and Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction (SS&M) Plans.
AIR has developed many plans for facilities that ensure
compliance, minimize monitoring costs and burdens, and maximize
operational flexibility.
Emissions Inventories
Designed to supply states and EPA with emissions data for
modeling purposes. It is comprised of a list of each of the
facility's emission points and emissions information, using
government compiled numerical factors to calculate the actual
emissions. We have assisted hundreds of industries in various
fields with the emissions inventory. For more information, please
contact us.
