Based on project operating data, the system has demonstrated methane destruction efficiency above 99% under specified operating conditions. ...
Subpart W and the Financial Stakes of Inaccurate Data Under MERP, authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act, the methane price is $1,500 per metric ton. If a site is flagged as a Super Emitter and empirical data are not presented, the satellite estimate informs the methane waste charge. ...

Introduction: OOOOc - The Next Step in Methane Regulation As global attention on methane intensifies, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to roll out new standards aimed at reducing emissions from the oil and gas sector. Following the introduction of OOOOb, the agency is now advancing OOOOc, a complementary rule targeting existing oil and gas sources rather than new ...

Introduction: Why Methane Detection Matters in Energy Transition As industries around the world navigate the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy, methane remains at the center of climate discussions. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential over 80 times that of carbon dioxide in the first 20 years after release. Reducing methane emissions has become a global ...

With the methane regulation widely adopted in oil and gas industry, site-level methane emission monitoring system becomes an effective tool for oil and gas operators, which further brings the need of accurate and durable weather monitoring solutions with the ability to capture real-time wind speed and wind direction data to help ...
How our in-house pilot studies replicate field conditions to generate meaningful methane data. In a previous blog we discussed some of the pros and cons of BMP studies on anaerobic digesters. While they’re excellent for showing how much methane can be produced from a food substrate, they have less utility as a representative site study and ...

The data in the report shows that methane emissions from the energy sector reached nearly 130 million tonnes (Mt) in 2023. ...
One of the major focuses at Aquafix Labs in the past year has been improving our anaerobic digester study methods. So, we recently developed a “mini” digester method used to run anaerobic BMP screenings. To test this method, we ran a study to assess the impacts of a wide dose range of quats on methane ...
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is released at various stages of oil and gas operations, from upstream to downstream. ...
The SpanBox is an innovative relay/solenoid box controlled by a tablet in kiosk mode, designed to replace traditional gas bags filled with compressed air/methane for instrument calibration. This revolutionary technology eliminates the need for stopwatches, clipboards, and forms, making it easier to calibrate phx21 and phx42 analyzers. The SpanBox increases productivity and reduces the risk of ...
Biogas can also be upgraded to biomethane (>99% methane) for compression and injection into the natural gas grid or for use as a transport fuel. ...

Primarily, it allows a plant to manage their feed systems and profile in real time, giving accurate data on the methane and hydrogen sulphide levels being produced to allow operators to fine tune how they feed their digester. ...
EPA Issues Methane Regulations and Information Collection Request The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has started a formal process that requires the participation of companies currently operating methane emissions sources. ...
But how much of a climate problem really is methane emissions from gas? There are two main issues: methane emissions are highly variable across different regions and processes; and the climate changing effect of methane changes a lot over time. Here, we delve into these two issues in order to provide some clarity, based on recent research carried ...
Abstract AMETEK THERMOX Introduces the 5th Generation THERMOX Combustion Gas Analyzer in a CONTROL Magazine Exclusive. WDG analyzers are based on a zirconium oxide cell that provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for measuring excess oxygen in flue gas as well as CO and methane levels. Information from the Gas Analyzer allows operators to obtain the highest fuel efficiency, while ...
