摘要

During June 2007, U.S. EPA and ARCADIS conducted a feasibility study at an industrial facility in the southeast U.S. to determine whether the EPA OTM 10 measurement approach, also known as Radial Plume Mapping (RPM), was feasible at the site. The two-day campaign used a Boreal open-path tunable diode laser (OP-TDL) to collect path-integrated hydrogen sulfide measurements along single optical paths downwind of suspected H_2S source areas. The data collected during two pre-study calibration experiments, as well as data collected in the field, were used to assess the minimum detection limit (MDL) of the OP-TDL instrumentation. The results of the analysis of the in-field data suggests that the instrument MDL increases considerably when using longer path lengths. This is due to the fact that the instrument light intensity is lower along longer beam paths, and optical noise will increase as the beam diverges with increasing distance, leading to a lower signal-to-noise ratio. For future studies, it is possible to improve the instrument MDL by using larger retro-reflecting mirrors in the field and measuring over shorter path lengths when possible. Qualitatively, it was observed that the OP-TDL instrument was overestimating the actual hydrogen sulfide concentrations, as the levels approached the instrument MDL. This finding was confirmed by the results of pre-deployment calibration experiment. Based on an analysis of the path-integrated concentration (PIC) values collected with a corresponding R~2 value <0.20, a correction factor was developed. This factor was applied to all PIC values from the study with a corresponding R~2 value less than 0.20 to retrieve a more representative PIC value.
