- Metrohm Digital Titrator for acid gases (SO3 and H2SO4)
- Portable scale and desiccator for particulate analysis
Flow Temperature and Pressure
In addition to the 15 isokinetic source sampling consoles, Air Hygiene operates three, 3-D flow measurement systems with multiple probes extending to 20 feet.
Mercury
Air Hygiene has performed hundreds of total and speciated mercury runs using our 4 Apex XC-60 mercury sampling trains in conjunction with the Ohio Lumex RA 915+ analyzer to provide onsite results and QA/QC verification during compliance/performance tests and tuning events.
Maintenance
Air Hygiene implements a robust preventative maintenance program. Our maintenance program is designed to keep equipment in the as-new working condition so it is ready and reliable when we need it. Air Hygiene’s in house service experts perform the following tasks in a state -of-the-art repair facility:
- Routine scheduled service
- Scheduled system checks
- Failure repairs
- Calibration and linearity audits
- Technical support and advice
Calibration
Quality calibration systems are the cornerstone for accurate, reliable, and traceable data. Air Hygiene’s calibration program is designed with the required documentation, traceability, and known uncertainty for all field test equipment. Air Hygiene’s equipment is subjected to calibration procedures that meet or exceed EPA Reference Method requirements and we keep approximately 300 EPA Protocol 1 Certified calibration gases in stock to ensure we can test any source at any time. Our calibration gas vendors all participate in EPA’s Protocol Gas Verification Program (PGVP) for stationary source monitoring.
