About ENVEA

ENVEA is an environmental measurement group that makes continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS), gas and mercury analyzers, particulate monitors and process instruments. In the United States it operates as ENVEA Inc., headquartered in Geneva, Illinois, the former home of Altech Environment U.S.A. The group was founded in France in 1978 as Environnement S.A. and adopted the ENVEA name in 2018.

What ENVEA makes

ENVEA can supply a single analyzer or a complete integrated monitoring system. Its gas analysis range spans NDIR gas-filter correlation, FTIR, chemiluminescence, heated FID and paramagnetic O2, in both extractive and in-situ configurations. The MIR 9000 extractive analyzer and the stack-mounted MIR IS are the core CEMS workhorses.

Around the gas analyzers, ENVEA builds out the rest of the stack: reagent-free mercury CEMS such as the SM-5, light-scattering and electrodynamic dust monitors for emissions and bag leak detection, and STACKFLOW ultrasonic velocity monitors for mass emission rates. Sample conditioning, probes, calibration units, shelters and WEX reporting software complete a system.

Beyond the stack, ENVEA offers ambient air quality analyzers and sensor networks, plus microwave and radar instruments for bulk solids flow, moisture and silo level. Private equity firm The Carlyle Group took a majority stake in 2020, and the group has since added companies including California Analytical Instruments, whose US-built NDIR, FTIR, CLD and FID analyzers joined the ENVEA line in 2023.

Why engineers specify ENVEA

  • EPA-oriented product listings. ENVEA lists the MIR 9000 and MIR IS for 40 CFR Parts 60 and 75, the SM-4 and SM-5 for PS-12A, STACKFLOW monitors for PS-6 and the MP101M as a US EPA Federal Equivalent Method for PM10 and PM2.5.
  • Dual certification. Many of the same instruments hold TÜV QAL1 approval to EN 15267 and UK MCERTS, which helps operators that apply one monitoring standard across US and international sites.
  • One supplier for the whole system. Gas, mercury, dust, flow and data handling can be sourced and integrated together.
  • Practical sampling options. In-situ drying on the MIR IS and extractive evaporation on ProScatter Extractive address wet and corrosive stacks.

Local support from Vaughn Associates

Vaughn Associates represents ENVEA in its Louisiana and Gulf Coast territory, covering Louisiana, South Mississippi, South Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. That corridor is dense with refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, and power generation sources that answer to EPA monitoring rules.

Our Baton Rouge-based team helps you define the measurement list, sampling approach, applicable performance specifications and data handling requirements before a quote is built. We coordinate pricing and technical questions with ENVEA’s US engineers and stay involved through submittals and delivery. Systems are typically purchased directly from ENVEA.

FAQ

Common questions about ENVEA

What happened to Altech Environment USA?

Altech Environment U.S.A. now operates as ENVEA Inc., the US subsidiary of the ENVEA group, and is still based in Geneva, Illinois. The parent company was founded in France in 1978 as Environnement S.A. and adopted the ENVEA name in 2018. The old altechusa.com address now redirects to envea.global. Owners of legacy Altech systems should contact ENVEA for parts, service and upgrade paths.

Which ENVEA gas analyzers are listed for EPA 40 CFR Part 60 and Part 75 CEMS?

ENVEA lists its MIR 9000 extractive NDIR analyzer and its MIR IS in-situ analyzer as compliant with 40 CFR Parts 60 and 75. Both can measure up to ten gases, including SO2, NOx, CO and CO2, with built-in paramagnetic O2. Keep in mind that a CEMS is certified per installation, so the finished system still has to pass site RATA and linearity testing.

Does ENVEA offer a mercury CEMS that meets EPA Performance Specification 12A?

Yes. ENVEA states that its SM-4 and SM-5 continuous mercury monitors comply with Performance Specification 12A under 40 CFR Part 60, and it references the SM-5 for the Portland cement NESHAP. The SM-5 uses high-temperature conversion with no reagents and cold-vapor atomic absorption detection, and it holds TÜV QAL1 certification on a 0–5 µg/m³ range.

What is the difference between ENVEA ProScatter and ElectroDynamic dust monitors?

ProScatter monitors such as the QAL 181 measure forward- or back-scattered light, which suits low dust concentrations, and ENVEA references them for PS-11 correlation. ElectroDynamic monitors such as the STACK 990 and Dust Alarm 40 detect the charge transferred when particles pass or strike a probe. They are well suited to baghouse leak detection, and ENVEA lists them as MACT-compliant bag leak detectors.

How can ENVEA equipment measure stack flow for mass emission rates?

ENVEA's STACKFLOW 200 and STACKFLOW 400 ultrasonic monitors measure flue gas velocity and temperature across the duct. Combined with gas and dust CEMS readings, those values give volumetric flow and pollutant mass emissions. ENVEA lists both models as compliant with US EPA Performance Specification 6 and as TÜV and MCERTS certified, with automatic reference checks for ongoing quality assurance.

Who represents ENVEA (formerly Altech) on the Gulf Coast?
