Designing, fabricating, and installing clean air systems and energy reduction solutions for cleaner air today and tomorrow!

It certainly has been a busy month for everyone here at Ship & Shore Environmental! Here is a photo of an installation this month.

Another Ship & Shore clean air system installed now it’s up and running since November 2011.

We have completed another great job it’s loaded up and on it’s way to be delivered.
We are pushing the effort to keep our air clean one project at a time!

Today we had a great lunch and learn, thanks to a local testing company for a great presentation!

As part of our sustainability program Ship & Shore Environmental endeavors to keep our staff informed about technology advancement through continuing educational seminars.

This rule replaces EPA’s 2005 Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and requires 27 eastern states to significantly reduce NOx reductions during “ozone-season” summertime .

Emission reductions will take effect quickly, starting January 1, 2012 for SO2 and NOX, and May 1, 2012 for ozone season NOX reductions. By 2014, combined with other final state and EPA actions, the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule will reduce power plant SO2 emissions by 73 percent and NOX emissions by 54 percent from 2005 levels in the CSAPR region.

California legislators set aside a polystyrene foam ban for the foodservice industry earlier this month. Opponents of the ban cited the likely loss of jobs, expense to the state and unfair recycling rate requirements as flaws in the legislation.

To get the facts about foam food packaging please take a look at the new study at http://www.plasticfoodservicefacts.com

You can also learn about foodservice packaging and recycling at the same link.

In an earlier post we provided some information on Low NOx burners and announced our decision to utilize Low NOx burners for all our combustion equipment designs. One of the reasons for this decision was compliance with new NOx rules, which are still being developed here in our home state of California and throughout the country.

As a matter of fact, the South Coast Air Quality Management District recently sent out a “Notice of Public Hearing” on the matter of adoption of proposed amendments for Rule 1147 – NOx Reduction from Miscellaneous Sources. The hearing will be held on Friday, September 9, 2011 at the AQMD Headquarters located in Diamond Bar, California.

Take a look at the proposed amendments

http://www.aqmd.gov/rules/proposed.html

Rule 1147 applies to oven, dryers, dehydrators, heaters, kilns, calciners, furnaces, crematories, incinerators, heated pots, cookers, roaster, fryers, closed and open heated tanks and evaporators, distillation units, afterburners, degassing units, vapor incinerators, catalytic or thermal oxidizers, soil and water remediation units and other combustion equipment with nitrogen oxide emissions that require a District permit and are not specifically required to comply with nitrogen oxide emission limits by other District Regulation XI rules.

Do you need assistance meeting NOx rules? If yes, let our team of combustion experts help you develop a plan to meet NOx emission limits for your facility equipment.

Title V issues related to the printing industry can be overwhelming. Let our team of experts help you navigate the air quality permitting process.

Ship & Shore Environmental, Inc. designs control systems that not only reduce total VOC emissions, but in many applications emmisions are reduced below Title V limits.

For more information please contact us, or go ahead and read the 209 page EPA TECHNICAL SUPPORT DOCUMENT (TSD) FOR TITLE V PERMITTING OF PRINTING FACILITIES.  http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/cam/tsd.pdf

Let Ship & Shore Environmental help you take advantage of AQMD’s rule 310.1 Amnesty for unpermitted equipment.

Businesses without required air quality permits can get them without incurring late fees, penalties.
