Capabilities

Windrock offers a full range of exhaust emissions-related services. These services are tailored specifically to the natural gas transmission industry and its unique requirements for testing 2-stroke and 4-stroke spark-ignited engines and gas turbine drives.

Windrock personnel providing these services are among the most experienced in the natural gas transmission industry and are knowledgeable in both emissions and mechanical/performance testing. Their unique knowledge and experience in the gas industry allows Windrock to offer a valuable service to the operators of gas engines and turbines.

Our personnel are not only experienced in testing the equipment but understand how engines and turbines are operated and maintained. They also have a unique understanding of the combustion process of natural gas-fired engines/turbines and how the effects of that process impact emissions so you can be sure that the test results are accurate; and, if a unit is not in compliance, they can offer assistance to bring it into compliance.

Emissions Test Trailer

Windrock’s customized emissions test trailer is equipped with the latest instrumentation. These include an FTIR analyzer, dual exhaust sample lines for catalyst testing, and a self-contained performance monitoring system to provide continuous power and compressor cylinder pressure monitoring without the need for local support to obtain operational data such as load.

The test trailer is compact (less than 16 feet), light weight, and can be easily maneuvered into very tight spaces. Its power requirements are also minimal, requiring only two 110 VAC, 15 amp circuits to operate. The instrumentation allows Windrock to perform the following EPA Method tests, 3A, 7E, 10, 18, 19, 20, 25A, and 320.
