Independent expertise for complex combustion, emissions, and product development challenges. Our team supports manufacturers, researchers, government agencies, and industry organizations with specialized testing and research programs that fall outside traditional certification pathways. From large-scale emissions studies to custom product evaluations, we deliver objective data and technical insight to support informed decision-making.
Special Projects & Research Services Overview
Our Special Projects services provide customized testing, research, and analysis tailored to specific project objectives. Programs are developed in collaboration with clients and may include emissions characterization, product performance evaluations, technology assessments, laboratory studies, or large-scale research initiatives.
Projects typically support product development, regulatory analysis, environmental research, emissions reduction initiatives, and investigations that extend beyond traditional compliance testing programs.
Key Capabilities Include:
- Large-scale emissions research and data collection
- Greenhouse gas and hazardous air pollutant evaluations
- Custom testing protocol development
- Product development and technology assessment
- Emissions reduction technology evaluations
- Spectrum of typical wood burning appliances ready for use
- In-house real time gas analyzers
Large Scale Research
Our team supports research initiatives at the state, national, and international levels, providing independent testing and technical expertise for complex combustion and emissions studies. Projects may involve greenhouse gas emissions, hazardous air pollutants, emissions inventories, and collaborative research efforts conducted alongside laboratories, agencies, academic institutions, and industry organizations.
Research programs are designed to generate objective, defensible data that can support regulatory development, technology evaluation, environmental analysis, and industry-wide initiatives.
Custom R&D
Our team works with manufacturers and innovators to design customized testing programs that support product development and technical evaluation. Services may include prototype testing, emissions characterization, technology validation, emissions reduction device assessments, novel product evaluations, indoor air quality studies, and other specialized investigations.
By tailoring testing methodologies to project objectives, our team helps clients gain critical insight into product performance and environmental impacts before entering formal compliance or certification pathways.
