A close look at fugitive methane emissions from natural gas

Apr. 2, 2013

Natural gas is booming in the United States. Production has increased by 20 percent in the last five years, fueled largely by technological advances in shale gas extraction. Other countries–including China–are now studying our experience with this abundant new resource. But the growing role of natural gas in the U.S. energy mix ...

End-user GHG emissions from energy: Reallocation of emissions from energy industries to end users 2005…-2010

Dec. 20, 2012

The objective of this report (1) is to help improve the understanding of past greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends in the energy sector from the demand or end.user side. To do this, the report develops a methodology to redistribute emissions from energy industries to the final users (by sector) of that energy. This reallocation is done on the ...

The use of methanotrophic applications to control of fugitive methane emissions from the biodegradation of organic waste

Sep. 26, 2012

Large amounts of methane (CH4) escapes to the atmosphere through fugitive emissions arising from anthropogenic sources. This is detrimental because the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CH4 is 25 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2) on a 100 year time horizon. As a result, there has been increasing interest in developing cost–effective and reliable ...

Air–quality impact of PM10 emission in urban centres

Feb. 20, 2012

This paper calculates a detailed inventory of PM10 emissions in the urban area of Mendoza, Argentina, and evaluates the impact of such emissions by using the CALPUFF dispersion program. It includes direct and indirect emissions from mobile sources; emissions from industrial sources and fugitive emissions from unpaved road and dust production from ...

Recovery of methane from anaerobic process effluent using poly-di-methyl-siloxane membrane contactors

Jan. 1, 2012

This paper demonstrates the potential for recovering dissolved methane from low temperature anaerobic processes treating domestic wastewater. In the absence of methane recovery, ca. 45% of the produced methane is released as a fugitive emission which results in a net carbon footprint of −0.47 kg CO2e m−3. A poly-di-methyl-siloxane (PDMS) membrane ...

End-user GHG emissions from energy

Dec. 15, 2011

The objective of this report (1) is to help improve the understanding of past greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends in the energy sector from the demand or end-user side. To do this, the report develops a methodology to redistributes emissions from energy industries to the final users (by sector) of that energy. This reallocation is done on the ...

Nov. 18, 2011

9.2 Non-point source emissions   The DISPER model include algorithms to model line and area  sources, in addition to point sources. These non-point source options of the model are used to simulate the effects of emissions from a wide variety (conveyor belts, rail lines, area sources,…). The area source model is used to simulate ...

Modeling emissions from offshore drilling

Nov. 10, 2011

To regulate drilling activities proposed by oil and gas companies in the oil-rich Gulf of Mexico (GOM), governing agencies require the submittal and approval of certain plan documents before drilling activities can be initiated. For drilling activities in the Western GOM, these plans typically consist of one of the following: EP, or Exploration ...

Thermal deoilers - Thermal deoiling of evaporator coils for air conditioners

Oct. 15, 2011

The Problem A major Air Conditioning company was mandated to have an alternate technology for degreasing evaporator fins. They had, until recently, been deoiling metal parts in a conveyorized solvent based vapor degreasing line, but the state environmental agency mandated that the line be shut down on a certain date due to the excessive water and ...
