Specific services include National Pollution Inventory reporting services, emissions sampling, measurement, monitoring and consulting, air-quality and airborne particulate monitoring and air-quality modelling.

Greenhouse consultants

Services assist clients to improve their energy efficiency, reduce their greenhouse emissions, and meet regulatory requirements. Greenhouse consultancy services address obligations under federal and state programs. Carbon accounting services assist clients to maximise their accuracy in measuring, calculating and reporting their carbon emissions.

Noise and vibration services

Services provided address noise and vibration abatement including measurement and assessment, analysis, computer modelling, and developing and implementing control measures. Specific services include environmental noise control, noise control engineering and vibration monitoring.

Risk management services

Services assist clients to identify and mitigate potential risks or hazards associated with materials use, plant, processes and operating systems including deficiencies and maintenance. Specific services include risk identification, fire and dust explosion mitigation and hazard mitigation.

Waste to energy

HRL delivers business solutions to its clients through a proven approach to commercialising waste to energy opportunities. The approach includes: undertaking analytical evaluation of waste resources; beneficiation of waste resources - drying, briquetting and pelletising; technology selection including bench scale and pilot testing and computer modelling; providing expert information to support project funding.

Briquetting and agglomeration

Product quality control services are provided to clients across a spectrum of industries. Raw material optimisation services including agglomeration and densification are provided for low-bulk-density raw materials. Waste material optimisation services are provided to convert valuable materials from waste streams into pellets, pills, balls or briquettes for recycling or reuse.
