`Long path` FTIR for monitoring of diffuse emissions from a petrochemical industry; `Long Path` FTIR foer maetning av diffusa emissioner fraan petrokemisk industri

Abstract

A project has been carried through, where dispersive absorption spectroscopy in the infrared region (FTIR) have been used together with an open optical mirror system with an optical wavelength of 1 km, to monitor emissions from a petrochemical industry. The study have comprised laboratory studies and a simple field test. This indicated that very low concentrations of petrochemical specific compounds can be measured. It has been verified in the field for ethane and propane with a detection limit of 4-6 {mu}g/m{sup 3}. Trace gas experiments with SF{sub 6} have been made with a detection limit of approx 0.6 {mu}g/m{sup 3}. This shows that the combination FTIR/SF{sub 6} have a great potential for development to a tool for quantifying diffuse emissions. 6 refs. 14 figs, 3 tabs
