Ricardo-AEA Ltd
Ricardo – AEA is a global strategic, environmental and engineering consultancy at the intersection of transport, energy and global climate agendas, solving the most complex issues to help achieve a safe and sustainable world.
Their experienced waste and resource management teams work across four continents to support both public and private sector clients, helping them with some of their most pressing waste and resource management challenges.
The company’s main UK operations are located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire (Head Office), London, Risley and Glasgow). Ricardo recently became involved in odour monitoring at a notoriously “smelly” landfill site in the Midlands. Commissioned by the local council and working in conjunction with the Environment Agency to determine the source of the offensive levels of hydrogen sulphide (H2S), Ricardo-AEA approached ABLE for the supply of the unrivalled Jerome J605 Gold Film Hydrogen Sulphide Analyser. They had previously procured the J605’s predecessor from ABLE, the J631-X, for similar work. Since its launch, the J605 has become the recognised industry standard for water treatment, waste management companies and regulatory bodies such as the EA and SEPA, delivering high specificity and single digit ppb low level detection capability. This makes it ideally suited for nuisance odour monitoring. Ricardo will be making a direct comparison of results with Newcastle-under-Lyme Council who are also using the Jerome.
