Fugitive emission technique validation

NPL's controlled release testing facility (CRF) can independently validate systems developed to monitor fugitive emissions. This facility provides quantified releases of gas from multiple sources that can be located around sites and within infrastructure to simulate fugitive emissions. Combined with low uncertainty and traceable calibration to primary standards this system can be used to validate a wide range of systems in their ability to provide accurate measurements of fugitive emissions and locate their sources. Key features include: • Fully transportable, modular system for testing products over a variety of emission landscapes by accurately replicating specific source characteristics. • Management of complete instrument validation projects, from choosing a suitable test site to validation test protocol design. • Versatile system that can validate emissions measurement from both ground-based instruments and aerial observation.
