Results of a survey of natural gas transmission companies operating continuous emission monitoring systems. Topical report, January-June 1994
A summary is presented to the results of a survey of continuous emission monitoring (CEM) systems operating on reciprocating engines and turbines of gas transmission companies. For this survey, three natural gas transmission companies were visited. Information on various aspects of CEM systems within the industry was gathered. It included characteristics of emission sources with emission reduction techniques where applied; CEM system outdoor shelters; monitoring techniques; costs; installation and startup; personnel training; operations and maintenance; performance evaluations and quality assurance; and data acquisition systems. The survey finds that the industry`s experience with CEM systems remains limited. Some recommendations are presented for the future, when the use of CEM systems may increase.
