Now, it is not only far less time-consuming, but far more accurate because the 'human error factor' is removed. It's a big improvement."

“The Shell Deer Park complex is a highly sophisticated facility, with over 1800 emission sources and 19 business units spread out across over 600 acres of land. opsEnvironmental is a cornerstone of our air compliance program.
The opsEnvironmental™ system replaced more than 16 spreadsheets and legacy systems to create a uniform, consistent solution for air compliance management. Emissions inventories which formerly required over 185 person hours to complete can now be done in about 75% less time. We submitted our Texas emission inventory in electronic form this year and are very pleased with the results. Also, The Sara 312 report formerly was a very labor intensive task also, but we generated it with more than 60% labor savings using opsEnvironmental™. We submitted over 300 hard copy pages which were generated by opsEnvironmental.™”
