RATA Testing, 3-D Flow Certification
From initial design and specification to QA/QC planning,
certification tests and EDR reporting or even installing and operating temporary
systems, CleanAir’s team of professionals are ready to assist you with
your continuous emissions monitoring requirements. CleanAir provides a full
range of services to all types of industries as follows:
System
Specification and Design

and cost effectiveness.
Supervision of System Installation
- Selection of sampling
locations
- Pre-installation
equipment check
- Insure vendor
follows design specification during installation
Certification
(RATA) Testing
Performance of all certification tests as required by state or federal regulations.
These could include:
- Zero and calibration
drift test
- Cylinder gas audits
- Relative accuracy
test (40CFR 60 and 75)
- Bias check
- Quarterly and
annual QA/QC audits
3-D
Flow Studies
Our experience indicates the 3D traverse can measure flow rates up to 15% lower
than that of the S-type pitot traverses. To minimize the disparities between
the flow rates measured at the stack with EPA Method 2 test procedures (S-type
pitot tube) and the calculated flow rate from combustion inputs, CleanAir provides
the following 3-D flow testing services:
- 3-D volumetric
flow determination (EPA Methods 2F and 2G)
- Wall effect determinations
by EPA Method 2H
- Wind tunnel calibration
services
- 3-D probe and
electronic manometer console manufacturing and rental
QA/QC
and Monitoring Planning and Implementation
Regulatory Review
This is done to determine the QA/QC requirements applicable to the
source under state and federal regulations. These may include the requirements
of 40CFR Part 60, Appendix F or 40CFR Part 75, Appendices A and B.
Development of QA/QC Plans
A step-by-step written plan is developed for each instrument and for the
system as a whole. This plan is specific for the instruments involved and for
the plant site. The plan includes at a minimum the following procedures:
- Calibration error
test
- Calibration adjustment
- Preventative maintenance
- Audits
- Recordkeeping
and reporting
QA/QC Implementation
QA/QC plans require periodic audits and reports to state and federal pollution
control agencies. Services provided are:
- Quarterly or semi-annual
audits
- Annual certification
testing
- Assistance with
state and federal agency paperwork
- Operator certification
and training
