Stack Emission Measurements

Measurement and reporting of pollutants released to air from industrial stacks under the Industrial Air Pollution Control Regulation (SKHKKY). Our team measures on site with methods covered by our TÜRKAK accreditation and Ministry competence certificate.

Legal basis: SKHKKY
Certificates: TÜRKAK AB-0718-T · Competence Y-59/279/2026
Report: In line with TS EN ISO/IEC 17025, with measurement uncertainty

Parameter names and methods are listed in the Scope 01 tables, translated from the certificate annexes. For sampling-only parameters our team takes the samples; they are analysed by partner laboratories and the results are included in our report.

How we work

Quotation and plant dataWe quote on the number of stacks, fuel/raw materials and capacity; plant data and documents are collected through the client portal.
Site surveySampling points, working platform, sampling ports and stack geometry are checked on site.
Sampling planParameters, methods, team and instruments are planned for each stack, and the measurement is notified.
Field measurementsIsokinetic sampling and gas measurements are carried out with calibrated instruments; field records go into our measurement forms.
Analysis and data checksFilters are weighed and samples analysed; raw data are checked before reporting.
ReportingResults are compared with SKHKKY limit values and reported with their measurement uncertainty.

Ambient Air Quality

Determining pollutant levels in ambient air within a plant’s area of influence: PM10 and deposited dust measurements and passive sampling. Results are assessed against the limit values of SKHKKY and the Air Quality Assessment and Management Regulation (HKDYY).

Legal basis: SKHKKY · HKDYY
Certificates: TÜRKAK AB-0718-T · Competence Y-59/279/2026

How we work

Choosing pointsSampling points are set within the area of influence, taking the prevailing wind and nearby settlements into account.
Set-upSamplers are installed; point names, coordinates and instruments are recorded.
SamplingPM10 sampling follows the plan; deposited dust containers are changed in monthly periods; passive samplers stay on site for the set duration.
LaboratoryPM10 filters and deposited dust samples are assessed gravimetrically in our laboratory; passive sampler results are entered into the report.
Assessment and reportResults are compared with the in-plant and area-of-influence limit values and reported.

Wastewater Analysis

Sampling at treatment plant outlets and discharge points, analysis, and assessment of the results against the limit values of the Water Pollution Control Regulation (SKKY).

Legal basis: SKKY
Samples: Grab and composite
Assessment: The SKKY table that applies to your activity

Scope

Grab and composite sampling
Monitoring of discharges and treatment performance
Assessment and reporting against the SKKY tables

How we work

Table and parametersThe SKKY table for your type of activity and the parameters to monitor are set at the quotation stage.
SamplingGrab or composite samples are taken according to the plan and transported in suitable containers under the required preservation conditions.
Analysis and reportResults are compared with the limit values and reported.

This service is outside our accreditation scope.

Sheet 04Measurement and modelling

Measurements and Modelling for EIA

EIA reports are prepared by organisations holding a Ministry competence certificate for EIA. Our laboratory does not prepare EIA reports; we take on the measurement and modelling part of the process and provide EIA consultants and investors with measurement data and modelling reports that can be annexed to the EIA report.

Legal basis: EIA Regulation · SKHKKY
Measurements: PM10 (TS EN 12341) · deposited dust (TS 2342), accredited
Output: Report formatted as an EIA annex

How we support

Scope and monitoring planSampling points, parameters and durations are set to meet the EIA file requirements, in coordination with the EIA consultant.
Baseline measurementsAir quality is measured at the project site and in its area of influence (PM10, deposited dust, passive SO₂ · NO₂).
Emission inventory and modellingAir quality dispersion modelling is run for construction and operation scenarios, and the results are compared with regulatory limit values.
Report annexesMeasurement and modelling reports are formatted as EIA annexes and revised in line with authority comments.

One source of data

When baseline measurements, emission data and modelling come from the same laboratory, the data chain stays unbroken: measurement uncertainty carries through to the model consistently and responses to authority comments are faster.

Environmental noise measurement and acoustic modelling are outside our scope.

Major Accident Prevention (BEKRA / Seveso)

Technical support for establishments covered by the Turkish Regulation on the Prevention and Mitigation of Major Industrial Accidents (BEKRA): risk analysis, major accident scenarios and preparation of the documents the regulation requires.

Hazard identification and risk analysis (HAZOP)
Major accident scenarios and consequence modelling: fire, explosion, toxic dispersion
Frequency analysis and assessment of protection layers (event tree, fault tree, LOPA)
Major accident prevention policy and major accident scenario document
Support in preparing the safety report and internal emergency plan

How we work

Preliminary assessmentThe inventory of dangerous substances is compiled, with Annex 1 classification and the aggregation rule.
Site and process reviewProcess information, equipment lists and process flow diagrams are reviewed together on site.
