Page v - Program to facilitate the deployment of innovative or improved environmental technologies through performance verification and dissemination of information. The goal of the ETV program is to further environmental protection by substantially accelerating the acceptance and use of improved and more cost-effective technologies.
Page v - GHG mitigation and monitoring technologies. The GHG Center's verification process consists of developing verification protocols, conducting field tests, collecting and interpreting field and other data, obtaining independent peer-review input, and reporting findings.
Page v - ETV in response to the belief that there are many viable environmental technologies that are not being used for the lack of credible third-party performance data. With performance data developed under this program, technology buyers, financiers, and permitters in the United States and abroad will be better equipped to make informed decisions regarding environmental technology purchase and use. The Greenhouse Gas Technology Center (GHG Center) is one of six verification organizations operating under...
Page v - This process consists of developing verification protocols, conducting field tests, collecting and interpreting field and other data, and reporting findings. Performance evaluations are conducted according to externally reviewed test plans and established protocols for quality assurance. The Center is guided by volunteer groups of Stakeholders. These Stakeholders offer advice on technology areas and specific technologies most appropriate for testing, help disseminate results, and review test plans...
Page v - To pursue verification testing in the oil and gas areas, the Center has established an Oil and Gas Industry Stakeholder Group. The group consists of representatives from production, transmission, and storage sectors, technology manufacturers, and environmental regulatory groups. Individuals who are members of the Oil and Gas Industry Stakeholder Group have voiced support for the Center's mission, identified a need for independent third-party verification, prioritized specific technologies for testing,...
Page vi - PEMS approach to monitoring exhaust emissions is based on establishing relationships between engine operating parameters, as determined by commonly used sensors, and exhaust emissions. As such, PEMS are fundamentally computerized algorithms that describe the relationships between operating parameters and emission rates, and which estimate emissions without the use of continuous emission monitoring systems.
Page v - They also indicated that technologies which capture and utilize methane leaks from compressor rod seals used in the natural gas industry are of great interest to technology purchasers. In the natural gas industry, interstate gas pipeline operators use large gas-fired engines to provide the mechanical energy needed to drive pipeline gas compressors. In the US, fugitive natural gas leaks from these compressors represent a major source of methane emissions, and a significant loss of economic and natural...
Page 2-8 - This has led to EPA's development of Performance Specification Test procedures to confirm the precision and accuracy of instrumental monitoring systems. With some augmentations, these EPA Performance Specification Tests can also be used to determine PEMS performance.
Page v - A parametric emissions monitoring system (PEMS) for gaseous emissions from large gas-fired internal combustion engines, has been developed by ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) of Detroit, Michigan. The patented (US Patent #5,703,777) PEMS approach provides an alternative to instrumental continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS), and is potentially more cost effective.
