Evaluation of Compliance with the Total Enclosure Criteria (Method 204)
The assessment is performed by certified field engineers and aims to verify that the building structure and ventilation systems effectively prevent fugitive emissions to the external environment.
The evaluation follows the official EPA Method 204 procedure and includes inspection of building integrity, internal pressure balance, potential emission points, and the performance of air ventilation systems.
This process helps facilities ensure not only legal compliance but also environmental responsibility and the protection of public and occupational health.
Comprehensive Professional Service Promoting Environmental Responsibility and Innovation
The evaluation process includes three main stages:
- In-Depth Analysis – Detailed mapping of production processes and existing air pollution control systems within the facility.
This stage provides a thorough understanding of the airflow dynamics and potential emission sources. - Compliance Assessment – Verification of the building’s conformity to the Total Enclosure definition according to EPA’s stringent criteria, including structural sealing, exhaust system efficiency, and air quality parameters.
- Improvement Recommendations – If non-conformities are identified, a corrective action plan is developed with engineering recommendations and system upgrades to ensure full compliance with Method 204 requirements.
Through this structured process, facilities can not only achieve regulatory compliance but also effectively eliminate fugitive emissions from production areas, setting a higher standard for environmental excellence across the industry.
Professional Support Every Step of the Way
The Total Enclosure compliance evaluation represents an opportunity for industries to lead in environmental responsibility.
By conducting a thorough, data-driven assessment, facilities can ensure safe working conditions, minimize environmental impact, and demonstrate operational excellence.
A.B.P. Chemical Engineering and Ventilation Ltd. invites industrial operators to utilize this service as part of their ongoing commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
