Impact/Purpose:
This is an invited talk on next generation emission measurements to be presented at the EnviroTech Summit - 2018 "Improving our Environment with Modern Technology", April 26, 2018 in Raleigh, NC.
Description:
A range of industries can emit air pollutants from fugitive leaks and malfunctions that are hard to detect, locate, and manage. These stochastic sources can create significant impacts on near-by populations, generating contentious issues. Enabled by the emergence of lower cost sensors and informetrics, a revolution in source understanding and management is on the horizon. Early detection and mitigation of stochastic sources by NGEM will create safer working environments, lower air shed impacts, and improved community relations. Ultimately, NGEM tools will allow industries to achieve source management objectives in more cost-effective ways, lowering both operational and regulatory burden.
