Case Study: PBF Energy achieves SCAQMD Rule 1180 compliance with Spectrum Environmental Solutions

PBF Energy achieves Rule 1180 compliance across 20 compounds with Spectrum Environmental Solutions

PBF Energy's Torrance Refinery faced the significant challenge of complying with South Coast AQMD's Rule 1180, which mandated continuous, real-time fenceline monitoring for twenty different compounds using complex optical remote sensing technology. The refinery needed a vendor that could not only provide the sophisticated monitoring equipment but also develop an approved plan, manage public data presentation, and operate a robust QA/QC program. They turned to Spectrum Environmental Solutions for its open-path analyzers and comprehensive expertise.

Spectrum Environmental Solutions provided a complete turnkey solution utilizing their DetectUV™-DOAS-OP and WaveRunIR™-OP open-path analyzers to measure the target compounds, alongside their Tsunami™ data management platform. This allowed PBF Energy to successfully meet all the technical and regulatory requirements of Rule 1180. The solution enabled real-time public data reporting and ensured compliance with some of the nation's strictest environmental regulations on schedule and under budget.
