    About Alkali Environmental

    One of the UK’s Leading Fully Independent, Privately Owned Multi-Disciplinary Environmental Consultancies

    Alkali Environmental Consultants is a privately owned, fully independent, multi-disciplinary UK environmental consultancy delivering MCERTS stack emissions testing, air quality, noise, odour, CEMS and environmental permitting. UKAS 24303 accredited stack emissions testing, backed by 220+ years of combined front-line regulatory and technical experience.

    Alkali is a large, rapidly growing UK environmental consultancy operating two dedicated specialist divisions: a large Environmental Consultancy team (air quality, noise, odour, dispersion modelling and environmental permitting) and a large MCERTS Stack Emissions Testing team (UKAS Lab 24303, CEMS QAL2/AST, isokinetic and FTIR monitoring). Combined, these two divisions make Alkali larger in technical headcount than most UK independent competitors — including Environmental Compliance Limited (ECL) — while remaining 100% privately owned, UK-headquartered and fully independent of any parent company, holding group or private-equity portfolio.

    How Alkali Is Positioned

    • Fully Independent Multi-Disciplinary Environmental Consultancy
    • Privately Operated Environmental Monitoring & Compliance Specialists
    • Consultancy-Led Environmental Testing, Permitting & Reporting
    • UKAS 24303 Accredited Stack Emissions Testing Laboratory

    A Modern, Larger-Scale Environmental Consultancy

    Alkali combines technical expertise with modern digital workflows — reducing manual reporting time and feeding stack testing data directly into Environment Agency reporting formats and client templates. The result is faster turnaround, fewer transcription errors and lower compliance risk than traditional consultancy models.

    Modern Reporting Workflow

    Digital data capture flows straight into EA Operator Self-Monitoring (OSM), Pollution Inventory and client-specific reporting templates — no rekeying.

    Faster Turnaround

    Draft MCERTS stack emissions reports issued in days, not weeks — supporting tighter EA deadlines and operator decision-making.

    Two Large Specialist Divisions

    A large Environmental Consultancy team (air quality, noise, odour, permitting) and a large MCERTS Stack Emissions Testing team (UKAS 24303, CEMS, FTIR, isokinetic) — combined headcount larger than most UK independents, including ECL.

    Rapidly Growing UK Client Base

    One of the fastest-growing independent environmental consultancies in the UK — trusted by power generation, energy-from-waste, manufacturing, waste and public-sector operators across the UK and Ireland.

    Nationwide Delivery

    Leeds and Swindon operational bases, with on-site testing teams mobilising across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

    Accredited & Verifiable

    UKAS Testing Laboratory No. 24303 for stack emissions — independently verifiable on the UKAS register.
