Organic Compound Analysis
Clean Air Engineering's organic laboratory specializes in the analysis of samples collected from source and ambient test programs. Clean Air utilizes gas chromatographs manufactured by Hewlett Packard, Perkin Elmer and MTI coupled with flame ionization, flame photometric and thermal conductivity detectors. Clean Air requires that all analysis be pre-approved before sending samples to verify that the analysis objectives can be achieved. The price schedule for organic analysis per sample is as follows:

Laboratory Resistivity Determinations*
Laboratory resistivity and particle size analysis of particulate
can be determined to aid in improving control device performance.
Clean Air determines resistivity as a function of temperature in
accordance with IEEE Standard 548. Particle size is determined using
the Bahco Micro Particle Classifier.

Computer Model ESP Performance Predictions
Particle collection performance of an electrostatic precipitator
is predicted using customer-supplied precipitator mechanical and
electrical data as well as coal and fly ash compositional data.
Model is described in EPA-600/7-84-069 a&b and is commonly referred
to as the EPA/SRI computer model. In addition to modeling the existing
precipitator performance, the effects of various changes (such as
coal switching and gas conditioning) can be predicted. Priced according
to scope and complexity.

Rush Analysis Pricing
Analytical results will be issued 15 working days from the receipt of samples. Rush analytical results may be available at increased rates upon request. Rush charges for analysis will be applied in the following manner:
|
1-2 working days |
300% of listed price |
|
3-5 working days |
200% of listed price |
|
6-10 working days |
150% of listed price |
In any circumstance, a purchaser's request for rush analysis in a certain time frame authorizes all degrees of rush charges up to that extent. Rush charges on the final invoice will be reflective of when results were available and reported to the Purchaser. All days will be calculated on a five day work week (with allowance for holidays).
All analyses will be performed
according to Clean Air Engineering's
Terms and Conditions for Laboratory Work.
