Quantitative analysis of automotive exhaust gas by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy
For monitoring gaseous emissions from muffler, instruments presently used can only measure quantitatively a given pollutant. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy can provide quantitative and online real time analysis. Calibration of our FTIR spectrometer with CO, CO2, NO, NO2 and N2O was done and the limits of quantification obtained were shown to be as low as 80 ppm. The variation ...

Cubic Quantitative Methane Leak Sensor Solution for Oil and Gas Industry in Europe
On 9 May 2023, European Parliament adopted the amendments on the proposal for a regulation on methane emissions reduction in the energy sector. The new law is the first piece of EU legislation aimed at cutting methane emissions and covers direct methane emissions from energy sector, including oil and gas industry. It is worth noting that obligations of operators from oil and gas industry for ...

Greenhouse gas emissions from sludge treatment reed beds
Sludge treatment reed bed systems (STRBs) are considered as an alternative technology for surplus sludge treatment. Organic matter is decomposed by various microbial reactions, resulting in gases such as CO2 and CH4 emitting into the atmosphere. The aim of this study is to investigate gas emission from STRBs. The static transparent chamber was adopted to measure gas emission; it allows sunlight ...
