Abstract Information :
Accurate measurement of individual emissions points leaks and vents underpins most inventory reporting, and is a crucial ingredient for assessing leak detection and repair LDAR programs. The most commonly used instrument for this purpose, the Bacharach High Flow Sampler BHFS is now obsolete, leaving a gap in production instruments for this crucial application. The California Air Resources Board funded Colorado State University to develop a next-generation architecture for high flow sampling. This presentation will review the design of the next-gen device, including key architectural decisions, sensors, and components. The presentation will also provide an overview of tests conducted on three commercial projects that are in development, and should soon be in the market to replace the BHFS. Finally, the presentation will provide overview guidance on how to build your own high flow sampler, if desired, using the design documentation from the project.
