1

How can I create an Emission Master storage tank emission file from Excel?

Answer - Emission Master supports an Excel import protocol.  See Tank Farm Import tutorial. 

2

A thermal oxidizer went out of service for a period of time.  Can Emission Master help analyze the processes that were operating during the outage and determine what the emissions were during this time frame?  

Answer - Emission Master has a built-in utility for analyzing one or more processes that ran in the factory at the same time.  The analysis shows what would have been emitted under normal conditions, under conditions when the control device was out of service, and the emission difference between both conditions.  See Control Device Abnormality Report.

Does Emission Master support reactions and other operations where the batch composition changes such as extraction, precipitation, and dissolving operations?

Answer - Emission Master 7.6 contains a basic Reaction Model where the batch composition can be changed.  The model relies upon stoichiometry that the user has entered.  When the model is implemented, reactants are scaled and removed from the process and replaced in the batch by the reaction products that have also been entered.  This model can be used for extraction, precipitation, and dissolving operations.  See Reaction Tutorial 1 and 2
