Calvin Consulting provides the following
Air Quality Management services:
Dispersion modelling
Calvin Consulting has some of the most experienced air quality dispersion meteorologists, engineers and modellers in Canada. We not only perform dispersion modelling for our clients, but also have been hired to train air quality approvals personnel at Alberta Environment (AENV), the Alberta Energy Resources & Conservation Board (ERCB) and Environment Canada. All dispersion modelling performed at Calvin Consulting is performed using the latest dispersion modelling tools approved by AENV and the ERCB.
Air Quality & Emissions Reporting
The various environmental regulatory bodies in Alberta and British Columbia require that updates to registrations, licenses and/or approvals be made prior to any equipment or operational changes being made at any permitted industrial site. New industrial facilities also may require permitting. Calvin Consulting has extensive experience performing the required air quality dispersion modelling, preparing the applicable applications and guiding these applications successfully through the approval process particularly for Alberta Environment (AENV), Alberta Energy & Resource Conservation Board (ERCB), Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) and the British Columbia Oil & Gas Commission (B.C. OGC) applications. Our experienced staff are well-known and respected by the various regulatory agencies and are fully appraised of all regulatory requirements for all types of facilities.
Quality Assurance Plans
Alberta Environment (AENV) requires Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) and Air Monitoring Directive (AMD) Quality Assurance Plans for all applicable facilities. Calvin Consulting has written more than 100 of these plans since formation of the company in 2000. All plans are written to be useful “how-to” manuals for operators and have been noted by AENV Auditors as being “top notch” on more than one occasion.
Climate Summaries
Calvin Consulting has extensive experience preparing climate summaries for incorporation into Environmental Impact Assessments and for Canadian engineering design companies who are working worldwide. Calvin Consulting personnel have worked in 26 countries and have up-to-date climate data in-house.
Air Quality & Meteorological Monitoring
Calvin Consulting meteorologists and dispersion modellers have more than 15 years of experience setting air quality and meteorological monitoring stations. Additionally, we have experience performing volatile organic compound (VOC) and radon monitoring for a wide variety of industrial facilities. Since 2007, Calvin Consulting scientists and engineers have implemented Leak Detection & Repair (LDAR) Programs at over 500 oil and gas facilities in Alberta.
