FAQs
How does EMSOL help waste sites meet regulatory requirements?
EMSOL provides continuous air quality monitoring that aligns with Environment Agency permit requirements. Our MCERTS-certified equipment delivers reliable measurements of particulates, gases and other pollutants, creating a comprehensive audit trail for compliance reporting. The real-time alerts enable you to address potential issues before they lead to violations or complaints.
What reporting capabilities does EMSOL provide for waste management operations?
EMSOL offers customisable reporting tools that generate clear evidence for environmental compliance. Our dashboard provides real-time data visualisation, automated threshold alerts, and exportable reports for regulatory submissions. The system maintains historical data for trend analysis, helping you demonstrate continuous improvement to authorities and stakeholders.
How does EMSOL identify pollution sources at waste sites?
Our platform combines high-precision air quality monitoring with smart camera technology to capture visual evidence when thresholds are exceeded. The system links pollution events directly to on-site activities, such as vehicle movements or material handling, allowing you to see exactly what’s happening during elevated emissions periods and take targeted action.
What makes EMSOL different from standard environmental monitoring?
Unlike conventional systems that only record pollution levels, EMSOL identifies specific activities causing emissions spikes. Our integrated approach combines air quality data with visual evidence, allowing you to move beyond just knowing when pollution occurs to understanding why it happens. This enables targeted interventions rather than guesswork.
How does EMSOL help manage vehicle emissions at waste sites?
Our platform tracks pollution from vehicle movements, including collection trucks, delivery vehicles, and on-site equipment. The system highlights issues like excessive idling or inefficient routing that contribute to emissions. This data enables optimised traffic management, better scheduling, and reduced environmental impact without compromising operational efficiency.
What support does EMSOL provide for installation and maintenance?
EMSOL offers a fully managed service that includes site surveys, equipment installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance. Our team handles system updates, regular calibration, and technical support, allowing your staff to focus on using the insights rather than managing hardware. We work around your operational schedule to minimise disruption during setup.
Can EMSOL help with environmental permit applications?
Yes, EMSOL data strengthens permit applications by demonstrating your commitment to proactive emissions management. The detailed historical data shows patterns, interventions, and improvements that support your case for responsible operations. Many clients use our platform to establish baseline conditions and develop more effective environmental management plans.
