QUANTIFICATION OF FUGITIVE METHANE EMISSIONS UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE NEW EPA NSPS SUBPART OOOOB RULE
The Use of High-Volume Samplers – Equipment Selection and User Recommendations.
This paper offers a summary of how to meet the new NSPS' OOOOb rule for effectively quantifying Fugitive Methane. A brief review of the recommended technology (Sensors, Inc.’s SEMTECH HI-FLOW 2) is included. Methods on how to keep your high-volume sampler in compliance via linearity checks, quality checks, and leak rate determination methods is also covered.

Challenges of Introducing PN-PTI In Germany And Other Countries
The Federal Republic of Germany decided to replace opacity measurements currently used during the Periodic Technical Inspections (PTI) of vehicles with a new emission test procedure. Effective from January 1, 2021, all Euro 6/VI compression ignition vehicles must be tested for their particle number (PN) emission. (Editor’s Note: Since publishing this paper, the program’s implementation has been delayed.)
