The Montrose team offers a variety of services for chemical manufacturing, ranging from regulatory compliance, permitting and consulting to wastewater consulting, and emission testing services. With locations conveniently located throughout the U.S. and Canada, we offer integrated services for the unique requirements of chemical manufacturing industry, including the production of adhesives, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, insulation, textiles, paints/coatings, and more.

Testing services include source testing, laboratory analysis, LDAR, and ambient air monitoring. Our source testing and LDAR chemical manufacturing consulting teams have extensive experience in testing to demonstrate compliance with federal, state and local regulations.   We’ve developed innovative methods for on-site analysis of VOCs and routinely leverage our internal laboratories for complex projects requiring low-detection limits or involving complex matrices.  Our chemical manufacturing LDAR teams offer an array of services from consulting and FEMP plan development, to testing, inspections, maintenance, and data management, among others. Our cutting-edge ambient air testing team provides solutions to issues including routine particulate and criteria pollutants, complex volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, and setting up and operating meteorological stations.  We routinely apply the latest technologies including open path testing using FTIR, TDL UVDOAS, on-site mobile mass spectrometry for ultra-low measurement of organic compounds, and other forms of chemical manufacturing source testing. We’ve successfully completed thousands of tests at hundreds of chemical manufacturing sites in the U.S. and Canada since 2005.

The environmental permitting and regulatory compliance team at Montrose helps our chemical manufacturing clients achieve and maintain regulatory compliance with federal, state and local regulations throughout the U.S.  Our team members have decades of experience — so we can take on the toughest challenges and deliver successful outcomes without hesitation.

In addition to the skilled teams listed above, our soil and groundwater remediation, planning and ecosystem consulting, and water treatment teams routinely solve the most complex problems related to designing, building, and operating chemical manufacturing plants.
