"WHEN IT CAME TO PERMITTING OUR DEMONSTRATION PLANT, IT PAID TO HAVE ERT ON OUR TEAM!" - Peter Garside, Manager, KILnGAS Engineering, Allis-Chalmers Coal Gas Corporation "When we began work on our coal gasification project, it didn't take us long to realize that we'd need an innovative environmental consultant to guide us through the regulatory maze. Permitting for this project would be tough. We were developing forefront technology, and both the emissions and the emerging environmental regulations were uncertain. We needed a company with solid process engineering and environmental skills to tackle these emerging issues. We turned to ERT. "Right from the start ERT became a key member of our team. They recommended additional data needs and together, we used these data to define the most direct air permitting strategies to satisfy the emerging requirements. Then, ERT guided our plan through the state agency to win the critical permits we needed for construction, right on schedule. "ERT also worked with us on wastewater and solid/hazardous waste control. They saved us significant capital costs, by working out an agreement with the local municipality to treat our wastewater. ERT did the analysis work, evaluated the performance ofthe city's waste treatment facility and handled the negotiations that led to an agreement, which saved us from having to build our own treatment facility. "From R&D right through to plant construction, ERT helped us meet the environmental challenges. We're continuing to use ERT as an integral part of our team and to help keep the environmental issues in focus for this project as we move into the future."
