The next program Contek has developed in its series of PLUS+ software is the Emissions PLUS+ program. The Emissions PLUS+ program calculates criteria and hazardous pollutants in addition to GHG emissions. The program allows the user to input a variety of data based on what is known. For example, the program can calculate engine emissions based on stack test data, manufacturer’s ratings, fuel gas usage, or hours in service. The menu-driven program can be set up quickly to allow the user to determine emissions from minor or major plants and facilities.

The program was recently further enhanced by one user to incorporate site-specific data input and reporting. This enabled the program to conform to the facilities needs instead of the facility conforming to the program’s constraints. The program was nominated for a corporate award.
