What Are Fugitive Emissions?

The term, fugitive emission, as used in air quality control, generally refers to any emission

escaping from regulated processes (sources) other than via the designed release point (smoke

stack, etc.). The point source for a fugitive emission is simply called "a leak." These leaks

and emissions are most often associated with the equipment necessary for the movement of

process fluids and gasses.

The term "fugitive" is used because these emissions are neither calculated in the source

design, captured by the emission control equipment/systems, nor are they detected through

normal equipment monitoring processes. Since these emissions bypass control equipment,

they are also referred to as "uncontrolled enlissions."

Sources of Air Pollution are four mobile sources, stationary sources,point sources andarea sources

Sources of Air Pollution In discussions of air pollution sources, four terms are routinely used: Mobile sources Stationary sources Point sources Area sources Mobile sources Mobile sources are generally related to transportation. Mobile sources are not included within the general parameters for fugitive emissions and, therefore, will be given no further consideration in this course. Stationary sources Stationary sources define emission sources that are fixed and include all forms and types of manufacturing, chemical and petroleum processing, power generation, and small business facilities. Point sources A stationary point source refers to any place within a facility from which emissions are possible. For a given facility, a stack may be one point source. An emission leak within a process is also considered a point source. An automobile or a truck would represent a point source or mobile source. Area sources Area source refers to any one of several sources contributing to the air

Dual Detectors FID and PID

Dual Detectors The benefits of each individual detector are very clear: both the FID and the PID have their advantages and disadvantages. However, with either detector alone, the number of organic and inorganic vapors that one can detect is limited by the measurement capabilities of that detector. With the TVA-1000B, users can obtain complete information about more organic and inorganic vapors more quickly and easily than with single detector technology alone. Since both detectors may be displayed and logged simultaneously, the relative response of the two detectors may give some clues about the identity of the compound being measured. For instance, the PID does not respond to methane at all, but the FID responds very well. A high FID reading with virtually no PID response might indicate the presence of methane. Consequently, PIDs respond very well to some inorganic gases that FIDs cannot detect. A high PID reading with no FID reading might suggest the presence of an i

PROJECT EXPERIENCE SECTION OF THE QSTI/QSTO

PROJECT EXPERIENCE SECTION OF THE QSTI APPLICATION - EXAMPLE - For those persons who have taken the exam (or plan to) and are preparing their applications for submittal to the QSTI Review Committee, the project experience section may prove a little open-ended. What are “they” looking for? How much information should I include? Do “they” want a copy of a test report? First, definitely do not send in any test reports. The committee is not equipped to handle such confidential business information. What the committee does need is information about your experience and knowledge sufficient to demonstrate that you can conduct a test project successfully and produce reliable results. As a guideline for completing this element of the application, the QSTI Review Committee has provided two examples for your use. The components of these examples coincide with those outlined in the SES application form. Group II Application (example 1) Project One EPA Method 7 I led a project to measure NOx em
