Glossary:Advancing development of emissions detection
The project will implement a comprehensive process of protocol development and testing to accelerate the adoption of natural gas leak detection and quantification (LDAQ) solutions by natural gas operators, and their approval by cognizant regulatory authorities. The project will (1) develop test protocols for LDAQ methods and perform controlled testing at CSU’s Methane Emissions Technology Evaluation Center (METEC); (2) develop protocols for a field testing of solutions and conduct a comprehensive field trial of multiple LDAQ solutions on a variety of oil and gas facilities; (3) demonstrate methods to evaluate the control efficacy of LDAQ solutions using simulation software developed in funded, parallel projects. The project will move a set of qualified LDAQ solutions through testing and demonstration, but the primary deliverable is to develop a process whereby any solution can move testing and qualification.[1][2]
