Christine Olson, the president and her team understand that clients often grapple with the complexities of navigating various regulatory mazes, particularly around identification of the licenses, and requirements to obtain them. Crimson simplifies this process, ensuring clients can easily secure the necessary permits and surpass the regulatory standards. With Crimson, every client’s project is assured to meet and exceed all regulatory requirements.

At the onset of client engagement, Crimson dives into comprehensive discussions about their projects. From identifying necessary permits to offering insights into regulatory processes, it guides them through the intricate requirements. It closely collaborates with clients to guarantee adherence to project-specific regulatory nuances, including website layout, equipment spacing, emissions control, and noise standards. Its goal of streamlining the design, application, and permitting processes ensures the success of the construction and operational phases.

In the oil and gas sector, Crimson specializes in guiding asset owners, producers, and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies through Greenfield constructions.

Crimson maintains expertise in air dispersion modelling. Its adept modelers will recommend either the American Meteorological Society-Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD) or the Integrated Lagrangian Puff Modeling System (CALPUF) based on the specific needs of the client’s project, thus guaranteeing not just compliance but excellence. The dispersion models crafted by Crimson ensure the air quality at client facilities aligns with regulatory standards. Leveraging AERMOD, the industry’s go-to model, the firm seamlessly predicts air dispersion for various contaminants. This model integrates local terrain nuances and meteorological data, guaranteeing inclusive and accurate insights for multiple projects.

“Our proficiency in dispersion modeling is versatile and forward-looking, tailored to address the distinct needs of new or existing projects – whether for permitting, amendments, renewals, or resolving public concerns,” says Olson.

Crimson’s proactive strategy keeps the clients informed and positioned at the forefront of regulatory changes and potential benefits. This can be seen in a recent instance where an oil and gas asset owner, unhappy with their engineering firm’s advice, turned to Crimson for dispersion modeling. After uncovering overlooked permitting gaps, the firm swiftly guided the client to rectify the issues, confirming project timelines stayed on track. Promptly addressing missing permits and tackling long lead items facilitated seamless compliance, allowing the client to kickstart their operations as planned.

From mastering air emissions modeling to navigating complex regulatory frameworks, Crimson ensures clients achieve compliance and excellence in environmental practices. With a responsible approach toward attaining a sustainable and emission-free future, it transforms challenges into opportunities with its dedicated team driving success.
