Stationary Source Sampling and Analysis for Air Pollutants (SES) 2019

Executive Summary

Our presentation explores the plausibility of PTR-TOF-MS measuring ultra-low real-time detection limits for compounds that are deemed difficult to measure.

• PTR-TOF-MS may be used to measure ultra-low real time detection limits for hard to measure compounds (Methodologies developing quickly) in real time
• Other Test Method (OTM) may be developed for sources with EPA approval
• Integrated GC-PTR-TOF-MS represents legally defensible EPA Reference Method 18 Direct Interface if all QA/QC in Method followed
• GC Integrated or Direct Real Time PTR-TOF-MS is a cost effective solution – Same as a typical FTIR test (Pay by day) – Reasonable Rates
