Montrose offers an array of services for the power generation industry, 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 the power generation industry.

Our testing services include source testing, laboratory analysis, LDAR, and ambient air monitoring.  We provide our power generation clients with a variety of power generation services, and our technicians have pioneered many of the testing methods we use to measure and quantify low concentrations of pollutants, including particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), resulting from modern power generation technology.  We’ve developed emerging test methods to accurately measure formaldehyde levels emitted from gas turbines used for electric power generation that are far below the regulatory limits. Because of our skilled team members, we’ve successfully completed thousands of tests at hundreds of power generation sites in the U.S. and Canada.

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

Our soil and groundwater remediation team, planning and ecosystem consulting group, water treatment team, and engineering group have provided services spanning the full breath of assignments from small geotechnical investigations for tank foundations to the closure of 100+ acre coal ash basins.  We’ve provided compliance support such as air permitting and Right-To-Know reporting, development of SPCC, PPC, FRP and SPR plans and training, emergency spill response oversight and closure, secondary containment designs and dam assessments. Our teams routinely solve the most complex problems related to designing, building, and operating power generation plants.
