Particulate Matter (Dust) from Industry Stacks

METS offers isokinetic stack monitoring for particulate matter, following US EPA method 5.

Static pressure, gas velocity and cyclone flow are measured according to Method 2, and the nozzle size and K-factor are determined using Method 3. The formulas from Method 4 serve to calculate the moisture content, before the actual Particulate Matter load is determined following the formalism of US EPA test Method 5.

 Exhaust Gases from Industry Stacks

METS determines the concentrations of all common flue gases, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitric oxides, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide or even volatile hydrocarbons.

Typically, METS employs automatic flue gas analyzers, such as the IM2800, which are annually manufacturer calibrated.  US EPA methods 3a, 6, 7 or 18 are offered on request.

Particulate Matter (Dust) from Ambient Air

METS employs electronic real-time dust monitors for indicative laser spectrometric determination of TSP (total suspended (airborne) particles, PM10 (particles averaging less than 10 micrometer), PM2.5 and/or, PM1. The instruments are temporarily installed on site record the different dust sizes simultaneously over long time periods with a resolution of less than a minute.

Every Trace of Gas from the Environment

METS  uses freshly calibrated diffusion tubes for the determination of gaseous pollutants in ambient air. Tubes are exposed for two to four weeks and thus give a exposure average  which is required for Environmental Impact Assessments, or workplace safety monitoring.

Nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, ammonia, V.O.C., sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, ozone, and many more. contact info@METS-Oman.com for a complete list.

Sound Pressure (Noise) in working or recreational environments

METS records sound pressure levels using class 1 sound level meters of the Sinus Tango type. A time resolution of 0.5 seconds allows for the identification of “noisy” operations during a work or construction process. On the other hand, data accumulation and averaging over, e.g., a full working day gives the equivalent sound pressure levels relevant for general occupational health considerations.

 Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) According to the Kyoto Protocol

 ”MECA Form 2”l

METS assists you to implement and comply with all governmental regulations on climate control, introduced in 2010 and based on Royal Decree No 107/2004. METS sets up  and manages your periodic environmental monitoring and reporting policy, mechanism and plan, working in close collaboration with your HSE representatives and your MECA focal point,

1. Evaluation and interpretation of MECA Form No. 2  on the basis of operational control parameters.
2. Development of data collection inventory
3. Greenhouse gases (GHG) assessment, inventory and reduction plan
4. Compliance Assurance
5. In-house capacity building
