Many compounds are detectable in the low ppb range UV-DOAS Limitations •Meteorological Limitations: Fixed observation area (winds). Affected by poor visibility conditions. •Limited Compounds: A number of species are undetectable by UV-DOAS •Application Limitations: Some models have difficulty aligning optics from multiple paths and long path lengths, making radial plume mapping more difficult (the Opsis 130 telescope has overcome this, it can move). UV DOAS Applications • Chlor Alkali Study: Olin Corporation in Augusta Georgia: Used UV-DOAS in 2000 to measure mercury emissions from a Chlor-Alkali plant (produces chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide by electrolysis using a mercury cathode). • Westlake Petrochemicals: Under a consent decree, a UV-DOAS system is being used for fence-line monitoring at the facility in Westlake, Louisiana. The data generated from this system, which is measuring primarily monoaromatics are made available to the public on an Internet webpage. A special condition of the decree requires the company to provide data to any nearby resident requesting it by the next business day following the request. • Cary Secrest, UV DOAS Expert, EPA OCE FTIR Open Path Can detect more than a hundred compounds, including: Acetylaldehyde Acrolein Acrylonitrile Ammonia Benzene 1,3-Butadiene Carbonyl Sulfide Halogenated Hydrocarbons Formaldehyde Hydrogen Chloride Hydrogen Cyanide Hydrogen Sulfide MEK Styrene Sulfur Dioxide Toluene Vinyl Chloride Xylenes Open Path FTIR Vendors OP-FTIR Instruments KASSAY FSI – *Ail Systems Inc. www.kassay.com *Spectrex, Inc. http://www.spectrex-inc.com IMACC Instruments http://www.ftirs.com/ MIDAC Corporation http://www.midac.com/ ruker Optics http://www.brukeroptics.com/opag.html ABB/Bomem http://www.abb.com/analytical OP-FTIR’s Strengths •Economical: Relatively low instrument cost (about $80,000 - $125,000). Low-cost long term deployment •Equipment is fairly rugged and easily portable •There are a large number of compounds that are infrared active (absorb IR light) •Large number of compounds can be analyzed simultaneously. •Spectra can be saved and post analyzed •No gas calibration standards necessary for field testing (uses standard reference spectral library), needed for laboratory confirmation of instrument performance and calibration. •Automated Real-time Measurements: Equipment can be allowed to run with minimal attention for months at a time with remote access to check instrument operation, schedule cryogen replenishment and recover data. •No sample collection, handling, or preparation is necessary *Verified by EPA’s Environmental Technology Verification Program Open Path FTIR OP-FTIR’s Limitations Spectral Interferences: Gas-phase water, CO and CO2 spectral interference. Diatomoic Molecules: Not applicable to homonuclear diatomic gases such as chlorine, oxygen, and nitrogen IR Wavelength Range and Interferences: Because of weak IR absorption features for many molecules, interferences and limited IR beam range, may not be sensitive enough to meet ambient data quality objectives for many species Path Length Range: Maximum path length is on the order of 400–500 meters Field Implementation Requirements: Typical infrared detectors require cryogenic cooling to operate, liquid nitrogen used for detector cooling must be refilled and maintained regularly (weekly), field implementation and data collection requires highly experienced personnel Setup Time Consuming and Costly: Typical set-up time usually requires about 5 to 8 hours and a minimum of two people, if multiple vertical or horizontal path measurements are necessary, can require significant time and cost to set up and implement. Measurement Limitations: Single beam open-path method measures concentration along a path. The path must capture most if not all of an analyte plume to provide accurate measure of emissions. FTIR Open Path Applications • Texas Petrochemicals: Settlement agreement with City of Houston requires OP-FTIR monitoring at north and south fence lines for 1,3-butadiene. • Houston Refining: Under Texas’ Audit Privilege, used OP-FTIR to measure total hydrocarbon and benzene emissions from delayed coker unit.
