From Site Commissioning to Emissions Testing, Process Monitoring and the Analysis of IBA and APC residues, soils, waters and wastes Element keeps the Environment protected by eliminating the risk of non compliance with Environmental legislation and the site’s operating requirements.

We ensure the safety of employees through assessment of workplace hazards; noise, harmful airborne substances including dust and bioaerosols, to ensure adherence to health and safety regulations.

We help to keep the environment protected through measurement and modelling of environmental noise and vibration, environmental impacts and odours from sources and at the boundary to minimise the risk of complaints.

We provide process verification measurements ensuring that gases are maintained at 850°C for a minimum of 2 seconds – T2S Residence Time testing to ensure the complete combustion of harmful compounds.

We measure the Biogenic Carbon 14 fraction of the waste to meet ROCs reporting obligations.

IBA and APC residue samples are analysed at our accredited laboratories to demonstrate the compliance of incinerator operating conditions, our Deeside laboratory has new state of the art High Resolution GCMS instruments to measure Dioxins and Furans and LCMS for PFAS.
