SGA Association Engine Emissions Stack Testing and Analyzer Workshop Jan 21-Jan 22, 2026 – Houston

Workshop Overview

With current regulations changing or new regulations proposed, working in air emissions can be overwhelming.
This workshop provides attendees an overview of regulations (current and proposed), catalyst basics,
emission calculations, utilization of portable analyzers, and hands-on training to allow the industry
to meet or exceed regulatory requirements.

All of these elements combined throughout the workshop will create an experience that is applicable
to the day-to-day work for those that perform engine emission testing and regulatory compliance for air permits.

Workshop Goals

• Overall understanding of engine emission stack testing and its importance in relation to air permit compliance
• Overview of different state requirements and how they differ from federal compliance requirements
• Catalyst basics overview, including how catalysts work and their practical application
• Hands-on experience evaluating engine emissions data to determine effective engine balancing techniques for optimum performance across engine types
• Performing engine emission calculations to better understand engine performance and its relationship to emissions
• Overview of multiple portable analyzers available in the industry and how to utilize each type
• Hands-on field testing of equipment and performing calculations using portable and trailer-mounted analyzer equipment
• Review of current and proposed federal and state air regulations and how they may impact field engine operations
