Standard Practice for Sampling of Process Vents with a Portable Gas Chromatograph

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This practice has been widely used to obtain mass balance data for process scrubbers, to determine the efficiency of VOC emission control equipment, and to obtain data to support air permit applications.

5.2 This practice will have applications to the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Rule and may have applications to Compliance Assurance Monitoring verification required by the 1990 Clean Air Act Title III Amendments.

5.3 This practice, when used with Test Methods D3464 or D3154 or on-line process flow meter data, can be used to calculate detailed emission rate profiles for VOCs from process vents.

5.4 This practice provides nearly real time results that can detect process changes or upsets that may be missed using conventional sorbent tube or integrated gas sampling bag sampling.
