A.Lanfranco & Associates Inc

A.Lanfranco & Associates Inc. is an energetic environmental consulting firm specializing in air pollution sciences. The company was formed in 1983 based on over ten years of previous experience. The firm's primary emphasis is in the provision of emissions monitoring, although routinely active in special waste studies, industrial hygiene, and ambient air monitoring. The company operates with the recognition of regional, provincial, and federal regulatory agencies and performs contract work on behalf of many regulatory bodies.

The firm is an internationally recognized specialist in Dioxin/Furan emission measurements.  Projects include measurements in Indonesia, Hong Kong, Philippines and the South Pacific.

An additional specialty area is emission testing of marine vessels and diesel engines.  Since approximately 1998, A. Lanfranco and Associates has conducted IMO Annex VI engines Nox certifications for a number of ships including Royal Caribbean vessels and V Ships (oil tanker)

General Overview

Since 1983 the firm has developed from a source monitoring specialist to include process operation evaluation, pollution control equipment troubleshooting, and monitoring program design. The company is, by far, the most active source test consultant in the province, with four to five field crews dispatched routinely.
In the last several years the company has been involved with almost all special waste type combustion processes in B.C. These included the old UBC incinerators, Pacific Place soil remediation trials, PCP contaminated waste trials, used oil filter disposal, and many DRE studies in kilns. Our familiarity with the special waste projects and the regulatory aspects accompanying them has allowed us to streamline the communications requirements of these administratively complex issues.

A. Lanfranco & Associates Inc. conducts Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) using their METLab, Mobile Emission Testing Laboratory. METLab uses state of the art instrumentation capable of continuous monitoring of NO/NOx, SO2/TRS, THC/VOC, O2, CO2, and CO. We currently have four CEM systems available for field studies.

The firm offers services where company principals are directly involved in all project phases; this approach guaranteeing continuity during project execution.

A. Lanfranco and Associates Inc. prides itself on its ability to complete well defined projects on time and on budget, while fulfilling all work scope obligations. Fixed price projects are commonly accommodated.

In Nov 1988, the company was awarded the 'Hard Hat Award' for excellence in source testing by the Pacific Northwest International Section of the Air and Waste Management Association.

The company carries appropriate levels of liability insurance and is a member of the B.C. Worker's Compensation Board. Work is conducted by certified technical staff.
