Emission measurements - Onshore facilities

Ecoxy delivers accurate measurements of emissions to air at onshore plants to assist customers in understanding their environmental impact

Ecoxy performs accredited measurements of emission to air of NOx, CO and PM from onshore plants in accordance with the requirements of national regulations, and for documentation of measures financed by the Norwegian NOx-fund. In accordance with emission permits issued by regulatory authorities, we measure and report emissions so that our customers can ensure that their levels stay within permitted levels. Ecoxy performs the emission measurements in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental regulations (NOx, CO, PM), and as a basis for documentation of measures financed by the NOx-fund.

Ecoxy AS has been an leading supplier of measurement services in Norway since the NOX tax was introduced 1.1.2007. Our customers have primarily been owners of ships and offshore drilling rigs that are controlled by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate (NMD) regarding emissions.

As all activity emitting NOX in Norwegian territory is covered by the NOX Tax a lot of onshore process and combustion plants have made use of the opportunity to achieve support from the Business Sector’s NOX Fund for NOX reducing measures. Emissions from these units are controlled by the Norwegian Environment Agency regulations. Ecoxy AS has made measurements for verification of reduced NOX emission from several plants of this type.

The Norwegian Environment Agency has a general requirement that all companies wanting to perform official emission measurements have to obtain a national or international accreditation according to ISO/IEC 17025. Ecoxy has been accredited for emission measurements from marine diesel engines (ISO/IEC 8178) and gas turbines (ISO/IEC 11042) since 28.5,2008. For emission measurements from onshore plants our accreditation was extended to include relevant standards1) for these plants the 21.6.2010.

1) ISO/IEC 12039, NS-EN12619, NS-EN14789, NS-EN14792, NS-EN15058 samt CEN/TS15675.
