The report is a recommended operating procedure (ROP), prepared for use in research activities conducted by EPA's Air and Energy Engineering Research Laboratory (AEERL). The described method is applicable to the continuous measurement of total hydrocarbons (THCs), also known as total gaseous organic concentration (TGOC), in effluent gases where THC concentrations are in the range 0 to 2000 parts per million (ppm). ROPs describe non-routine or experimental research operations where some judgment in application may be warranted. ROPs may not be applicable to activities conducted by other research groups, and should not be used in place of standard operating procedures such as those published in the Federal Register. Use of ROPs must be accompanied by an understanding of their purpose and scope. Questions should be directed to AEERL.
