Emission measurements

Reliable Measurements for Legally Compliant Plant Operation

Whether industrial plant, power station, or medium-sized enterprise – anyone who generates emissions is legally accountable to the authorities. Plant operators are required to have emissions monitored and documented. Permit notices clearly define limit values and testing obligations. Authorities do not conduct their own measurements for monitoring purposes but instead appoint accredited measurement bodies under § 29b of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) – such as Müller-BBM Industry Solutions GmbH.

Our Expertise in Emission measurements

Capturing and Analyzing Odorous Substances

When capturing and analyzing odorous substances emitted by a facility, the impact on the surrounding environment is assessed. Müller-BBM supports you in collecting and providing the necessary input data.

Your Benefits:

  • Improved Environmental Compatibility: Precise detection and analysis of odor emissions enable measures to reduce odor nuisances, leading to greater acceptance in the neighborhood.
  • Compliance with Legal Requirements: Müller-BBM’s services ensure that all relevant legal regulations and guidelines are met, minimizing economic risks.
  • Enhanced Quality of Life: Reducing odor emissions improves residents’ quality of life, contributing to a positive image of your company within the community.

31st BImSchV

The 31st BImSchV (Ordinance on the Limitation of Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds from the Use of Organic Solvents in Certain Installations) regulates the emission of solvents into the environment. This ordinance aims to improve air quality and protect public health by setting strict limits on solvent emissions and requiring continuous monitoring.

Your benefits:

  • Health Protection: Strict emission limits and continuous monitoring of solvent emissions help reduce air pollution caused by harmful substances. This significantly contributes to protecting the health of employees and the general population.
  • Legal Certainty: Companies that comply with the requirements of the 31st BImSchV can be confident that they are meeting all legal obligations, minimizing the risk of legal consequences.
  • Environmental Protection: The ordinance promotes the use of low-emission technologies and processes, leading to reduced environmental impact. This supports corporate sustainability goals and improves environmental performance.

Dispersion Calculation of Odors

When new constructions or expansions of odor-emitting facilities are planned, authorities often require expert assessments to forecast environmental impacts. Our dispersion calculations for odors combine dedicated computational models with extensive experience from numerous odor emission measurements to produce realistic predictions of odor development and the effectiveness of planned emission reduction measures. Additionally, as part of urban land-use planning, we assess the compatibility of proposed developments with existing operations to prevent conflicts.

Your benefits

  • Accurate Forecasts: By combining computational models with empirical data, we can realistically predict the odor development of planned or modified facilities and reliably assess the effectiveness of proposed emission reduction measures. This enables well-informed planning and decision-making.
  • Legal Certainty: Our expert reports meet regulatory requirements and support you in approval applications. This ensures legal compliance and minimizes the risk of delays or rejections during the approval process.
  • Conflict Prevention: As part of land-use planning, we evaluate the compatibility of proposed developments with existing facilities. This allows potential conflicts with surrounding residential or commercial uses to be identified and avoided early, contributing to the harmonious development of the planning area.

Emission Declaration

The emission declaration is a legal obligation for operators of facilities requiring official approval. This declaration contains detailed information about emission sources, operational processes, and the quantities of substances handled. Our expert knowledge helps you prepare these declarations accurately and completely to avoid conflicts with authorities and ensure legal compliance.

Your benefits:

  • Legal Certainty: By preparing the emission declaration correctly and thoroughly, you avoid costly and time-consuming conflicts with authorities, as incomplete or incorrect declarations may be considered administrative offenses.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: The emission declaration provides a detailed overview of your facility’s emissions, including active, passive, and diffuse emissions. This enables transparent and traceable documentation of environmental impacts and offers potential for reduction measures.
  • Expert Support: With our assistance in measuring, calculating, and comparing emissions with similar facilities, you can ensure your emission declaration meets legal requirements. If certain emission thresholds are exceeded, we also support you in preparing a more extensive emission report.

Measurement of Air Pollutant Emissions

The measurement of air pollutant emissions is a key component of environmental monitoring and is conducted by officially recognized testing laboratories in accordance with § 29b of the German Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). These measurements are essential to ensure compliance with emission limits specified in building permits and official approvals. Müller-BBM Industry Solutions GmbH is one of Germany’s leading testing laboratories and offers comprehensive services for determining emissions of inorganic and organic gaseous or particulate air pollutants. These measurements are also carried out internationally, for example through our auditing services in Switzerland.

Your benefits:

  • High Precision and Reliability
    Thanks to our modern measurement equipment and regular calibration checks, we deliver precise and reliable results. This ensures a sound assessment of your facility’s emissions.16-1A10PA
  • Comprehensive Support
    With our accreditation under DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 and recognition as a testing laboratory under § 29b BImSchG, we provide full support in determining and monitoring your emissions. Our experienced engineers and technicians ensure that all measurements are conducted professionally and in accordance with regulations.Beispielangebot
  • Enhanced Competitiveness
    Planned emission reductions may qualify you for funding opportunities. Investing in sustainable technologies not only lowers operating costs but also strengthens your image as an environmentally responsible organization. This can lead to greater acceptance among customers, investors, and policymakers.

Combustion Chamber Measurements

Combustion chamber measurements are a key component in monitoring and optimizing combustion conditions in various facilities, such as waste incineration and co-incineration plants, large combustion and gas turbine installations, and cremation systems. These measurements include the assessment of combustion conditions, functional testing and calibration of emission monitoring equipment, and technical support for emission reduction measures.

Your benefits:

  • Pr:ocess Optimization: By precisely monitoring and adjusting combustion conditions, you can maximize the efficiency of your facility and ensure smoother overall operation.
  • Emission Reduction: Our technical support for emission reduction measures helps you optimize their effectiveness. This contributes to lowering environmental impact and improving air quality.
  • Reliable Monitoring: Continuous recording of emissions, along with functional testing and calibration of emission monitoring systems, ensures dependable oversight of combustion conditions. This enables early detection and correction of deviations, enhancing both operational safety and efficiency.
