Air emissions compliance, data management and reporting are increasingly complex at the site, regional, and corporate levels. With the additional complexity comes the potential for higher operational risk, higher compliance costs, and increased public scrutiny. opsAir answers the challenge of cost-effective emissions datamanagement in a complex regulatory and reporting environment by providing a full software solution for air emissions management. The software provides your team clear and continuous visibility into both internal and regulatory compliance status. The most powerful calculation engine on the market enables you to easily perform whatever emissions calculations your facility needs. And a fl exible reporting capability lets you report on any aspect of your air emissions from the facility level to the corporate level. All this combines to deliver a higher degree of compliance assurance at lower overall cost to your company. opsAir TM An opsEnvironmentalTM application Measurable Benefi ts Optimize Manufacturing Operations: Provides visibility intohow operations will affect emissions-based compliance limits. Reduce Permitting Time: Detailed change trackingcapabilities provide fast access to data required for permit applications. Decrease Fines: Reduces likelihood of deviations andresulting compliance violations by enabling proactive air emissions management and providing visibility into your air compliance program. Streamline Emissions Inventories: Automated datahandling, calculations, and reporting eliminates “number crunching,” dramatically reducing the amount of time spent on emissions inventories. Decrease Impact of Employee Turnover: By centralizingand standardizing your environmental information management, the software reduces reliance on a single “spreadsheet master” for your critical compliance data. Reduce Verifi cation Costs: opsAir lets you streamline 3rdpartyverifications of your corporate greenhouse gas emissions inventory, enabling significant time and cost reductions. Key Features • Site and Corporate Emissions Inventories: Calculates emissions across all sources, pollutants and time ranges. • Greenhouse Gas Protocol Support: Generatesgreenhouse gas emissions inventories consistent with recognized international protocols. • Data-driven E-mail Notifi cations: Automated e-mailnotifi cation system warns staff of approaching limits before they are exceeded. • Data Linking: Hooks into data historians, ERPs,production accounting systems, and other relevant data sources. • Audit Trail: Provides comprehensive date- and timestampeddata, combined with means for independent validation and verifi cation that can be rolled up across multiple sources, facilities, product lines and company divisions. • Limit Checking: Checks operating limits against setvalues, rolling sum and rolling total limits. “opsEnvironmental has saved the Beaumont plant 3 person-days per month on calculating our 12 month rolling total on annual air emissions. In addition, it saves 5 person days during our annual air emissions inventory submittal preparation. This amounts to a total savings of 328 hours per year on emissions inventories.” -- Kevin Adams, Arkema Solving Real Environmental Management Challenges Challenge: Your facility is subject to numerous permitlimitations. Too much of your limited resources are spent poring over different “silos” of data and performing calculations in spreadsheets. Additional effort is being wasted responding to compliance deviations that could have and should have been avoided. How can you make your compliance program more effi cient and help operations optimize facility operations? Solution: opsAir manages emissions limits for eachsource. Data from web data forms, spreadsheets and plant data historians is leveraged to perform calculations and comparisons against these limits. The software handles multiple data inputs, emission factors, and formulas that all change over time. It is easy to recreate prior operating histories supporting permit applications and ongoing compliance. All parametric monitoring requirements on sources and control devices are tracked and managed. Appropriate users are notifi ed in advance of potential compliance deviations. Emissions inventories are produced accurately and automatically, including adjustments for operating changes during the reporting period.

Examples include: Permit Limit Exceedances: Reports on calculatedemissions vs. limits. Operations Planning: Shows allowable operations in thefuture period based on prior emissions and allowable limits. Criteria Emissions Inventories: Gives source-level rollupto site- wide results. Greenhouse Gas Inventory: Includes direct and indirectgreenhouse gas contributions. Speciated Emissions: Calculates Hazardous Air Pollutants(HAPs), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Criteria Air Contaminants (CACs) at the equipment source and facilitywide level. When entered data triggers an alarm based on pre-determined emissions thresholds, the software’s e-mail ticklers notify responsible parties of emissions limits. Easy-to-use data entry forms allow staff throughout the company to enter data directly into the system. |
