Strategy:  Automate Compliance Documentation and Reporting

Candidates:  Air Emissions, Wastewater Discharges, etc.

Potential Cost Savings:  $5,000 to Greater than $500,000 per Year

For facilities having Title V operating permits and MACT compliance requirements, EnviroBridge© offers a substantial return on investment. Title V and MACT recordkeeping requirements are onerous and costly to facilities. Title V operating permits have extensive emissions monitoring and reporting requirements. MACT compliance requires emissions monitoring and startup, shutdown and malfunction event monitoring and reporting. EnviroBridge© is an innovative, automated compliance system that can significantly reduce operating costs at a facility.

EnviroBridge© is an Auto EMS that enables a facility to link and acquire operational data and convert it to environmental data. EnviroBridge© tracks and reports the data for demonstrating compliance with environmental permits and regulations. EnviroBridge© transforms environmental management practices from time-consuming tasks to enhanced, automated reality.

EnviroBridge© connects and retrieves process data from monitors, analyzers, and process controllers of point sources such as boilers, turbines, flares, tanks, etc. EnviroBridge© converts the process data to environmental data and generates the following compliance results for a facility:

• Documentation of Compliance;
• Compliance reports;
• Deviation reports;
• Compliance certifications;
• Real-time compliance monitoring;
• Emission calculations;
• Elimination of manual data entry;
• Data validation; and
• Alerts and reminders.

Utilizing software and systems at a facility capitalizes on existing resources and minimizes the cost of an Auto EMS. EnviroBridge© utilizes existing non-proprietary software currently in use at a facility, including Oracle®, 4th Dimension®, Microsoft SQL Server®, and Microsoft Access®. As such, EnviroBridge© is a non-proprietary compliance system owned and maintained by the facility. EnviroBridge© also links to EMS software packages to retrieve and/or transfer compliance data. EnviroBridge© offers a cost-effective, smart compliance strategy for a facility.
