Professional Services Offered
Industrial Ventilation System Design
Engineering design of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) and general dilution ventilation systems. Each design is optimized for the specific process, contaminant, and facility layout — ensuring effective capture, transport, and exhaust of airborne hazards.
Ventilation System Assessments & Audits
Systematic evaluation of existing ventilation systems to identify deficiencies, measure performance against design specifications, and recommend corrective actions. Includes hood capture velocity measurements, duct static pressure testing, and fan performance analysis.
Regulatory Compliance Consulting
Expert guidance on OSHA ventilation standards, ACGIH Industrial Ventilation guidelines, and applicable EPA regulations. Helps facilities achieve and maintain compliance while protecting worker health and avoiding costly citations.
Air Contaminant Control
Engineering solutions for controlling dust, fumes, vapors, gases, and other airborne contaminants at the source. Includes contaminant characterization, exposure limit analysis, and selection of appropriate control technologies.
Workplace Exposure Assessments
Quantitative evaluation of worker exposure to chemical and physical hazards. Includes air sampling strategy development, sample collection, data interpretation, and comparison to occupational exposure limits (OELs).
Ventilation System Troubleshooting
Diagnosis and resolution of underperforming or failing ventilation systems. Identifies root causes — whether design flaws, equipment wear, or operational changes — and provides practical, cost-effective solutions.
Engineering Reports & Documentation
Preparation of detailed engineering reports, design specifications, and technical documentation for ventilation projects. Supports permitting, regulatory submissions, and internal engineering records.
