Marchwood extends scope of accreditation for stacks analysis

Marchwood has added sulphur dioxide analysis to its already comprehensive range of MCERTS accredited stacks analytical tests. This test, which is to BS EN 14791, helps customers maintain compliance and safeguard public health.

‘We are working towards getting as many of our services accredited as possible to further demonstrate our competency to national and internationally recognised standards,’ said Jenny Wraith, Business Development Manager at Marchwood. ‘Our specialist Manchester-based laboratory with state-of-the-art technology means that we can offer stack emissions analysis services just like this on a 7 day turnaround, which we have found is of great value to our customers.’

Sulphur dioxide (SO₂) is produced as part of the combustion process of fuels containing sulphur, such as coal, biomass, oil, and biogas. As a key air pollutant and a major source of acid rain, SO₂ can adversely affect human health and the environment. By measuring SO₂ in stacks after combustion to BS EN 14791, we are helping producers adhere to acceptable levels, protect the planet, and maintain compliance.

‘Adding SO₂ analysis to our comprehensive range of MCERTS accredited tests gives our customers full confidence that their results are accurate and robust,’ continued Jenny. ‘This is increasingly important, not just to help customers adhere fully to regulations, but to ensure we are all contributing towards supporting a safer, healthier planet.’

Marchwood provides sampling media free of charge, and offers a complimentary courier pick up service. To book your tests or for more details on our stack emissions offerings, contact us.
