| This workshop has presentations on DIAL and SOF surveys done in the Houston, Texas area, monitoring for pipeline gas leaks with an aircraft mounted DIAL system, the results of an ongoing two-year continuous fenceline FTIR activity at a petrochemical plant, the use of VRPM to measure landfill fugitive gas emissions and mercury emissions from a chlor-alkali plant, a fully automated VRPM TDLAS system for continuous monitoring of lagoons at consolidated animal feeding operations, the use of FTIR fenceline monitoring MGP cleanups, and a research update on equipment being developed to detect in the mid to far IR spectrum that does not require cryogenic cooling. Also discussed were the implications for facility monitoring as these cutting edge tools become more common place and how to promote their use to reduce overall emissions. The workshop resulted in suggestions and recommendations for future actions to be taken by the various entities represented at the meeting. |
