AIRCRAFT
AND GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (GSE) EMISSIONS ANALYSIS
AERO
Systems Engineering (ASE) provides complete aircraft/ground support equipment
emissions analysis and mitigation solutions.
Emission levels can be identified based on current operating procedures
using ASE’s Aircraft/GSE Emission Analysis program, and mitigation solutions
for these emissions can be implemented. ASE
has the technical and management expertise to assist you with the evaluation
of emissions and identify the long term benefits, such as ...
Ground
support and handling organizations are now faced with mandates by the EPA
that effect their purchasing decisions of new GSE. In
addition to cost impact of new GSE, the environmental impact must be considered
as well. These EPA mandates also extend
to airports and airlines by limiting the usage of the aircraft's auxiliary
power unit (APU) in an effort to reduce harmful emissions. Are these mitigation efforts the right solution?
Will they have a positive impact on the environment?
Using ASE's Aircraft/GSE Emission Analysis program combined with a
GSE resource analysis, you can make the right choices and more effectively
make financial commitment decisions that have long-term effects on capital
and human resources as well as the environment!
Analysis
ASE's
"Engineering Team" will merge the current inventory of all ground
support equipment with the gate operation schedule and create a computer model
that generates both financial and environmental data that are site specific.
Hypothetical changes to the daily gate operation schedule, such as
APU run time or use of alternate powered GSE, can then be applied to determine
the ground support equipment required at a certain gate or stand position
and its environmental impact. Through
the use of computer-generated models and ASE’s expertise in ground support
systems, areas for improvement can be evaluated and identified.
Once
a computer model is in place, additional analysis involving fuel conversion
of direct and indirect GSE, such as bag loaders, tugs, tractors and other
mobile equipment, can be made. GSE
requirements and environmental impacts can be identified for a variety of
hypothetical situations. In addition,
ASE engineers understand the infrastructure impact of alternate powered GSE
and can provide cost effective detailed designs, contract drawings and specifications
which incorporate converted GSE requirements into the airport's infrastructure.
