The D.C. District Court recently upheld the decision allowing EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This white paper provides you background on the decision, what it means for you, and how to keep your plant compliant. Catalytic Products International will continue to stay abreast of these sweeping changes and we’ll continue to keep you informed. As EPA gears up to begin regulation of ...
Since 2002, ClimateCHECK co-founder Tom Baumann has worked with the International Organization for Standardization to author the ISO 14064 International Greenhouse Gas Standard and related protocols, todevelop and deliver related training courses, and to design and manage GHG programs. Baumann was the main author of ISO 14064-2 between 2002 and 2006, when it was published. He continues to serve ...
Toxic gases, such as Hydrogen Sulfide and Sulfur Dioxide, can injure and kill quickly. Therefore, mitigation of these hazards must be fast and sure. The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other authorities take detection of these gases very seriously. The American National Standards Institute/ American Petroleum Institute (ANSI/API) and ISA industry standards ...

INTRODUCTION NPL is one of a number of laboratories which forms part of the Governments policy to ensure that UK measurements of all kinds are accurately made through the DTI’s National Measurement System. NPL is the focus of the United Kingdom’s physical measurements and its remit includes aspects of environmental measurements, which form an important component of the UK’s ...
A major event in the Climate Change arena occurred on March 27, 2012 when, for the first time, U.S. EPA proposed Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS) for emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). The proposed standards were specific to new affected fossil fuel-fired electric utility generating units (EGUs) and were the direct result of two (2) settlement agreements proposed ...
Customer: Coregas Application: Gas Background: Coregas is the largest Australian owned industrial, medical and specialty gas company. Their gases range from common gases such as oxygen and nitrogen to the rarest of gases like krypton. Coregas provide gases to the medical sector of the highest levels of purity, consistency and are fully compliant with all relevant Australian government ...
Why does headspace gas need to be measured? To check the continuity and quality of the gas supply to the packing machine, the efficiency of the flush/vacuum cycle and the integrity of the pack seal. To optimise gas usage and save costs. To meet customer headspace gas quality standards. To present quality data to auditors, food quality inspectors or as part of a quality process e.g. ...
Cities around the world currently account for two-thirds of global energy consumption. By 2050, some 70 percent of people will live in cities. If cities embark on a low-carbon development path today, global greenhouse gases could be 30 percent lower in 2050 than they are today. These are just a few of the insights highlighted in a recent infographic created by the World Bank. So, what does this ...
Current US and European standards stipulate gas chromatography to determine the glycerol content in biodiesel. However, this method is both tedious and rather expensive. Metrohm recommends ion chromatography (IC) as a simple, cost-efficient and highly accurate ...
In laboratory calibration, assembled Oizom devices POLLUDRONE, DUSTROID, ODOSENSE, WEATHERCOM are calibrated with pure air and calibration gases with high range concentrations. In a laboratory setting, zero and span calibration are performed in order to validate the manufacturer’s sensor calibration and determine the sensor offset or gain error if any. In order to perform zero and span ...
EPA has put itself on the path toward greenhouse gas regulation, but in Congress, the courts, and the international community, the debate rages on. On Dec. 7, 2009, EPA moved one step closer to imposing the first ever set of enforceable greenhouse gas (GHG) standards on tailpipe emissions from vehicles, and a requirement that large power plants and industrial emitters install best available ...
In April 2007, GE-AES Greenhouse Gas Services engaged ClimateCHECK to advise on the development of a standard of practice, GHG quantification methodologies, and a verifi cation system. The project was a joint venture between GE-AES Greenhouse Gas Services and GE Financial Energy ...
On September 2014 the European Commission proposed a new regulation to harmonise across the EU the emissions limit values (ELV’s) from engines installed in Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM). This new regulation replaces a number of national laws and, with effect from 1 Jan 2017, repeals a complex directive including 15 annexes and amended 8 times since 1997. Implementation timeframe for ...
This paper describes the development of an adaptive locally constrained genetic algorithm (ALCO-GA) and its application to the problem of least cost water distribution network design. Genetic algorithms have been used widely for the optimisation of both theoretical and real-world nonlinear optimisation problems, including water system design and maintenance problems. In this work we propose a ...
If your application requires purified air, we have the solution. Many applications require purified air of one form or another, such as Zero Air, CO2 Free Air or Dry Air, to ensure optimal performance and results. If you need a generator which provides one (or more) of these purified airs, read on. Zero Air Generators Precision Zero Air Precision Zero Air generators are designed ...
Multiphase pumps are unique products with outstanding features compared to conventional centrifugal pumps. The approach consists of using the pumps not only for transport of liquids but also for partial gas supply and as dynamic mixer for gas enrichment. Therefore this novel pump conception barely has something in common with a standard pump. Even the mode of operation does no longer ...
PID Response Photoionization Detectors (PIDs) respond to a broad range of organic and a few inorganic gaseous and volatile chemicals (‘volatiles’). In order for PID to respond to a volatile, the photon energy of the lamp must be greater than its ionization energy (IE). ION Science PIDs are available with lamps emitting light of maximum energy of 10.0 eV, 10.6 eV, and 11.7 eV. This ...
The EN 13725:2003, which standardizes the determination of odour concentration by dynamic olfactometry, fixes the limits for panel selection in terms of individual threshold towards a reference gas (n-butanol in nitrogen) and of standard deviation of the responses. Nonetheless, laboratories have some degrees of freedom in developing their own procedures for panel selection and evaluation. Most ...
