Operators may be obligated to measure certain emission sources for regulatory, reporting, or internal environmental and/or maintenance programs. high-flow samplers remain the most useful and accurate tool for direct measurement of fugitive and vented emissions in the field. Certain regulated sources require periodic measurement with a high-flow sampler; thus, their use is likely to continue even as new alternative technologies mature. Several new samplers are currently available commercially and development work on prototype units is ongoing. This report will describe the performance and user ...
Operators may be obligated to measure certain emission sources for regulatory, reporting, or internal environmental and/or maintenance programs. high-flow samplers remain the most useful and accurate tool for direct measurement of fugitive and vented emissions in the field. Certain regulated sources require periodic measurement with a high-flow sampler; thus, their use is likely to continue even as new alternative technologies mature. Several new samplers are currently available commercially and development work on prototype units is ongoing. This report will describe the performance and user experience during a battery of tests performed in both laboratory and field-like settings. Two commercial units (AddGlobe GFM 2.0, and Semtech HiFlow 2) and one prototype unit (CSU OS-HFS V2) were tested.
