Enhanced monitoring protocol guidelines for IC engine parameter based compliance monitoring systems. Final report - addendum I
This document presents the test plan for testing reciprocating IC engines at natural gas transmission facilities. The testing effort consists of a combination of two industry funded research programs: (1) The Pipeline Research Committee (PRC)/Gas Research Institute (GRI) co-funded program entitled {open_quotes}Development of EMP Guidelines for IC Engine Parameter Monitoring Systems{close_quotes} managed by SECOR International Incorporated; and (2) The Gas Research Institute sponsored program entitled {open_quotes}Measurement of Air Toxics in Engine Exhaust{close_quotes} managed by Radian Corporation. Although these programs have different objectives, as detailed following, the programs share the need for rigorously conducted field testing of IC engines; often referred to as engine {open_quotes}mapping{close_quotes}. Additionally, these programs compete for limited and qualified resources, hence the need and decision to cooperate in the field testing phase of each program.
