Corporate and regulatory reporting often require a multi-media approach to release eporting. For example, the US EPA Form R and Canadian NPRI submittals necessitate the tracking and reporting of air, water and waste data, and US EPA Tier II submittal requires the preparation of onsite chemical inventory reports. Managing all of the disparate data associated with the preparation of these reports is diffi cult and time-consuming. opsInventory helps you streamline the data collection and report preparation associated with these programs. The system performs threshold analysis to identify the materials that need to be reported under SARA 313 for manufactured, processed and otherwised used categories. It provides detailed release information in support of the actual Form R report and automatically generates the report in the appropriate ready-for-submittal format, either in electronic copy or hard copy. Measurable Benefits Integrate Your Data: opsInventory aggregates Inventory air, water and waste release information stored in other modules of opsEnvironmental or contained within the inventory module. Enable Enterprise-wide Benchmarking: Facilities can be grouped allowing rollup up of toxic inventory according to user defi ned requirements permitting benchmarking of like facilities and increasing the value of information. Reduce Reporting Time: The software lets you dramatically reduce the amount of time needed for preparing your US Form R and Canadian NPRI reports. Increase Standardization: opsInventory provides standard libraries of equations and calculation methods to support industry requirements while allowing all expressions to be modifi ed by users.
Key Features Rollup Reporting: Summarize Multi-media trends across single and multiple facilities. Mass Balance: Compute a simple mass balance around each unit or combustion waste stream. Emissions Calculations: Calculate toxic chemical emissions from combustion using data from EPA or other sources. Combustion Process: Easily represent various boiler confi gurations given air emission factors and ppmw data. Will accept your analyses or data from external sources. Otherwise Used: Track “otherwise used” chemicals with a variety of fl exible means for entering, importing or accessing existing usage data. Process Representation: Represent the processes used in a plant, their interrelationships and the mixtures used at each stage. Threshold Analysis: Calculate thresholds for manufactured, processed or otherwise used mixtures. Historical Versioning: Store historical data, methods, mixtures and processes so that anything can be reproduced.
Solving Real Environmental Management Challenges: Challenge: Boilers at your facilities “manufacture” toxic chemicals that must be reported under SARA 313. Each boiler uses multiple fuel types with each type having multiple sources of fuel. Solution: opsInventory allows multiple fuel types to be associated with the same piece of equipment. For example, your boiler may use natural gas, coal (multiple types), and fuel oil. opsInventory allows unique expressions to be used to calculate toxic emissions based on the type and quantity of actual fuel used. Additionally, opsInventory establishes effective dates for emission factors and applies the correct emission factor for the specifi ed time interval. The end result is the applicable emission factor is applied to the type of fuel used in the specifi c boiler in which it was consumed. This capability ensures the accuracy of your reporting. Flexible Reporting: The data stored in opsInventory can be reviewed with standard reports, user-generated reports, or through the software’s powerful ad-hoc reporter. Examples include: Threshold Worksheets: Used to determine what chemicals should be reported on Form R and from which products or fuels they are derived. Mass Balance Report: Shows the consistency of toxic chemical release data from fuel consumption processes balancing inputs and outputs. Form R Toxic Summary: Extracts static information about the facility, location and toxics. End-Point Analysis Report: Summarizes, by toxic, the sources of contribution to air, waste and water releases. Aggregation Report: Reports the amount of release by facility and media for each toxic fl agged as a Form R or Form A chemical in the Toxic Summary Report. Rolls up data by facility and then for all facilities. US Form R and Form A Reports: Generates reports in the format accepted by the US EPA. Spillage Report: Summarizes releases of toxics by facility and then by process grouping.
