Abstract |
The report discusses a recently developed measurements technique that offers the potential for providing an easy-to-use and cost-effective means to directly measure organic vapor leaks. The method, called the High Volume Collection System (HVCS), uses a high volume sampling device and a portable flame ionization detector (FID) for field analysis. The HVCS can obtain direct measurements of mass emission rates without the need for tenting and bagging. This study of HVCS method performance included both field and laboratory testing. Laboratory evaluation of HVCS results closely matched EPA method results with a difference in total measured emissions of only about 3%. |
