Power Start-Ups and Commissioning Source Testing
Getting new assets into compliance from day one
why it matters
Power start-up depends on proven emissions performance
Power start-up and commissioning schedules depend on reliable emissions data. When testing is delayed, incomplete or disconnected from operating conditions, projects can face turnover delays, compliance uncertainty and added pressure on engineering, operations and commissioning teams.
- Avoid costly commissioning delays
- Support aggressive go-live schedules
- Verify performance before unit turnover
- Fine tune controls with real-time emissions data
- Meet initial compliance deadlines with confidence
