Section 33 Disposition versions

33. The flow meter and the CH4 analyzer for the biogas must meet the following conditions:

(1)  they must not be separated by a component that eliminates moisture;

(2)  they must be installed in a way that allows them to measure the gas flow and CH4 concentration in the biogas sent to the reclamation or destruction device before any additional fuel is added.

In addition to the conditions set out in the first paragraph, the flow meter and CH4 analyzer must measure

(1)  the flow of biogas before it is sent to the reclamation or destruction device, at least once per hour, adjusted for temperature and pressure; and

(2)  the CH4 concentration of the biogas sent to each reclamation or destruction device, at least once per hour in the case of a stationary methane analyzer or quarterly in the case of a portable methane analyzer.

When the temperature and pressure must be measured to correct flow values at standard conditions, they must be measured at the same frequency as the biogas flow.
