We climb the stack, run the train, and hand you the numbers.

Stackline Labs fields stack emissions and stationary source testing campaigns for industrial operators — particulate, multi-metals, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide and total gaseous organics.

Two crews, our own sampling trains, and a habit of telling you what the port access looks like before test day rather than on it.

Typical campaign

Crew on site
2–3
Runs per condition
3
Run duration
60–120 min
Time on site
1–3 days
Preliminary numbers
48 h
Full report
3–4 weeks

Protocol review and a pre-test site walk are included. We would rather find a blocked port a fortnight early than bill you for a return trip.

Methods

What we field

Reference methods we run routinely. If the permit calls for something not on this list, tell us and we will say plainly whether we can field it or whether you want a bigger firm.

Reference methods, as cited in a typical permit condition.

Work

Two kinds of job

Compliance testing

Permit-driven annual and initial performance tests, plus relative accuracy audits against an operator's continuous monitors. The dates are fixed by the permit, so we plan around your outage calendar rather than ours.

Engineering and troubleshooting

Testing that exists to answer a question — control-device efficiency before and after a rebuild, inlet and outlet loading across a baghouse, or finding out which of two identical lines is the one failing.

Sources

Where we work

Combustion and process sources at industrial sites. We do not do ambient monitoring, indoor air, or drinking water — those are different laboratories with different equipment.

Enquiries

Send us the permit condition

The fastest way to get a real number from us is the permit language and the stack arrangement. From those two we can usually quote without a call.
