On April 10-12, VIM Technologies participated in the CAPCA Spring Meeting held at the prestigious Omni Grove Park in Asheville, NC. We were thrilled to engage with attendees and share insights on the latest in environmental monitoring and compliance technologies that we offer. It was an incredible event that proved to be a hub of knowledge-sharing and networking.

The event kicked off with a workshop on the “Hazards and Control of Combustible Dust.” Over the next three days, several technical and regulatory topics were discussed, including stack testing methodologies, fenceline monitoring basics, and the latest updates on environmental regulations from both the EPA and state agencies.

Andrew Rothenberger, our National Sales Manager, exhibited during the conference. It was wonderful to see friends and colleagues in the industry and get up to speed on the latest insights and trends. We are grateful to the organizers of CAPCA for a well-organized and highly informative event. Our team looks forward to returning next year.

Last week’s 2024 4C HSE Marketplace Conference in Austin, Texas, was a wonderful event! VIM Technologies has been a dedicated supporter and participant of this conference for several years, contributing this year with both a technical presentation and an exhibition. The event saw the participation of 350 attendees and more than 50 sponsors from a diverse array of industries and companies. It was delightful to reconnect with numerous clients and customers face-to-face at this annual gathering.

The conference is renowned for addressing key industry topics related to environmental compliance and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE). Its goal is to advance the adoption of the newest emissions reduction technologies and to disseminate best practices aimed at improving environmental outcomes.

It assembled industry experts and professionals from various regions to network and deliberate on prominent subjects concerning environmental compliance and testing. A variety of papers and technical presentations provided attendees with the latest trends and updates on regulatory changes impacting compliance. The conference placed significant emphasis on the use of AI and advanced spectroscopy for real-time Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPS) analysis, highlighting these as critical areas of focus.

VIM’s Senior Air Compliance Specialist, Eric Wiley, who boasts over twenty years of experience in air quality, delivered a paper titled “Common CEMS Program Audit Findings.” His presentation attracted a large audience. Eric shared best practices for adhering to the specifications of Part 60 and Part 75 CEMS. Both Eric Wiley and Lawrence Fisher, our Regional Sales Manager, were excited to engage with many existing users of VIM DAS and welcomed the opportunity to meet new customers, offering support with their data reporting and Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) program auditing.

VIM was grateful for the opportunity to participate at the North American Energy Services (NAES) Annual Environmental Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona! It was incredible to reconnect with familiar faces and forge new connections within the NAES organization.

Our very own Rudi Muenster provided an update to the group on the reengineering of the EPA’s Emission Collection and Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS). His update was well received and stimulated insightful discussions on the innovative solutions addressing these changes. The conference truly showcased the commitment of NAES and its partners to environmental sustainably through compliance.

Thank you NAES for the opportunity to support your organization and the fine people working hard to assure environmental compliance – we are excited about the potential collaborations ahead.
