WHAT IS EMISSIONS ACCOUNTANT |
| Emissions
Accountant
is analytical software
designed to analyze and track air emissions for one or more
processes against several different metrics. For
someone who is routinely involved with tracking air
emissions for a fixed calendar period or on a rolling twelve
month basis then this software program offers the perfect
solution. And if the need is to quantitatively report
the air emissions for a single process with respect to HAP
control efficiencies or one of several other critical MON
and MACT determinations then Emissions Accountant can help
with that as well.
Emissions Accountant streamlines the task
of emissions tracking because it combines the air emission
calculations from Emission Master with factory production
records for each process to calculate the cumulative
emissions over a specified period of time. Emissions
Accountant provides additional resources for tagging
compounds using the conventional classifications (HAP, VOC,
TVOS, and others) along with a flexible approach to building
reports and other resources to specifying how the data is to
be reported. If the objective is to track emissions
against a permit or other metrics then Emissions Accountant
provides a very comprehensive solution.

action.
Factory reporting and
emission management is comprehensive while being easy to
use. Below are some key functions that Emission's
Accountant can manage:

Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) |
Control Efficiency Analysis |

CURRENT UPGRADES |
|
Emissions Accountant 5 features a
familiar directory/subdirectory style of of organization so that
records are always at the user's finger tips. A similar
approach has been taken to make production records immediately
available for a specific process. |
|
|
|
|
User Interface |
The
basic organizational approach for maintaining processes and
batch records in the system has been enhanced by the
introduction of a new process group concept. A process
group is defined as a collection of one or more subgroups
and processes. The group – subgroup concept is similar to
the standard Microsoft Windows file structure, which
features directories, subdirectories, and files.
A process group can be used to represent a
collection or process that might be run in the same
facility, consider under the same operating permit, or some
other attribute. |

|
Production Import |
Import Batch and Period Production data from
Excel, a CSV file, or a simple TXT file. See
several illustrations where production data is imported for
the different file formats on the
Tutorial Page. |
|
|
|
|
Reporting |
Reports can
be created that apply to all production records that are
contained in a process group and all subgroups. This is an
improvement over earlier versions of Emissions Accountant,
which reported on all production records in the system.

Illinois AER |
Purpose: Generate applicable AER Reports
that are required by the Illinois EPA on an annual basis.
This implementation includes specific forms for Process,
Control Device, Stack, and Storage Tank. Details for
the
Emissions Accountant implementation of the IL AER are
presented on the AER Resource Page.
Additional
information may be obtained from the official IL Agency AER website:
http://www.epa.state.il.us/air/aer/.

PTE Analysis |
PTE
Analysis Report
A new report is being developed for Emissions Accountant
that implements PTE analysis strategies as detailed in
the EPA Memo "Clarification
of Methodology for Calculating Potential to Emit (PTE)
for Batch Chemical Production Operations," August
29th, 1996.
The object of the PTE analysis is to identify the
scenario of worst case air emissions for a given
manufacturing facility based on all possible processes
that can be operated in the facility and the quantity of
individual compounds that are emitted from each process.
The Annual Emission Rate in conjunction with key
equipment utilization factors are considered for each
process that can be operated in the factory. For
example, it two processes require that the same equipment be
used then the process having the highest emission level for
the compound or compound classification of interest would be
selected. Additional
details for the Emissions Accountant PTE Analysis are
provide. |

OTHER FEATURES |
|
Data Files |
Emissions Accountant uses
data contained in Emission Master files to represent the emissions for
each factory process. |
| |
|
|
Exporting Files |
All databases such as the Chemical, Antoine, and
Equipment database may be exported to separate ASCII files. These data
files may be imported into common word processors and spread sheet
programs. |
