Power Generation & CHP
Alkali Environmental provides comprehensive emissions monitoring, environmental permitting, and compliance support for power generation and combined heat and power (CHP) facilities. We work with gas turbines, diesel and gas reciprocating engines, biomass boilers, energy-from-waste plants, and standby generators across the UK. Our services include MCERTS-accredited stack emissions testing for NOx, CO, SO2, particulates, and other permit-specified pollutants, CEMS hire, installation, and QAL2/QAL3 calibration, MCP permit applications for plant between 1–50 MW thermal input, environmental permit applications and variations for larger installations, H1 stack height determination and dispersion modelling, continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) data validation, EA reporting (monthly, quarterly, and annual returns), and OMA audit support. Power generation operators face intense regulatory scrutiny with tight emission limits, continuous monitoring requirements, and complex reporting obligations. Our consultants bring former Environment Agency experience and deep understanding of IED, LCPD, and MCP regulatory frameworks. We deliver fast, reliable, UKAS-accredited results that protect your operating licence, maintain Grid compliance, and satisfy investor due diligence requirements.
