Vent Stack Sampling and Analysis
A chemical company needed vent stack sampling and analysis, specific to HCl
and Chlorine. Dow Corning Analytical Solutions were able to provide the stack
sampling, analysis and validate the sampling methodology using our in-house
expertise and capabilities. Additionally, we provided consultancy support to
the company, which included advice in selecting sampling points.
