What Are Fugitive Emissions?

 

What Are Fugitive Emissions? 

Any gaseous or particulate contaminant entering the atmosphere which could not reasonably pass through a stack, chimney vent, or other functionally equivalent opening designed to direct or control its flow.

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 (smokestack, 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.

VOC VHAP Emission That Comes From Equipment Leaks Instead Of Stacks. In Other Words, Any Volatile Organic Compound Entering The Atmosphere Which Could Not Reasonably Pass-Through A Stack, Chimney, Vent, Or Other Functionally Equivalent Opening Designed To Direct Or Control Its Flow.

How Work Flame Ionization Detection (FID) in TVA-1000B?

Flame Ionization Detection (FID) A Flame Ionization Detector (FID) measures organic compounds by utilizing a flame produced  by the combustion of hydrogen and air. When hydrocarbons in the sample are introduced  to the detection zone, ions are produced by the following reaction: RH + O → RHO+ + e– → H2O + CO2 where R = carbon compound A collector electrode with a polarizing voltage is also located within the detector chamber, and  the ions produced by this reaction are attracted to it. As the ions migrate towards the collector, a current is produced which is directly proportional to the concentration of hydrocarbons  introduced to the flame. This current is then amplified and sent to a microprocessor and/or  analog readout device. The FID has a wide dynamic range. The effective dynamic range can be further expanded by  use of a dilutor kit which reduces very high volatile organic compounds (VOC) concentrations  to within the dynamic range (or even line...
