VAPOR SAMPLING <br /> COLLECTING LABORATORY SAMPLES <br /> Influent Sample <br /> The influent sample is obtained from a sample port located, after <br /> the system vacuum pump and before the REMOX Unit Sterile poly <br /> tubing is then used to attach a 1 liter tedlar bag, fitted with a <br /> special septum "valve" and tubing bib, to the sample port The <br /> sample port is on the pressure side of the pump and therefore the <br /> bag will fill without need of a pump Once the tedlar bag is <br /> filled, its valve is closed and locked, the appropriate label is <br /> placed on the tedlar bag <br /> Effluent Sample <br /> A sample port for the effluent is located an the exhaust stack of <br /> the Remox system The flow pressure from the exhaust is great <br /> enough to fill a tedlar bag Sterile poly tubing as fatted to <br /> the exhaust port and the tedlar bag Then the sample valve of <br /> the tedlar bag is opened and the bag is filled with the sample <br /> Once the tedlar bag is full, the valve is closed and locked, the <br /> sample port closed, and the appropriate label is placed on the <br /> bag <br /> The labels for both the influent and effluent tedlar oag samples <br /> show the date, time, sample ID-4 and analyses to be run <br /> Both the influent and effluent tedlar bag samples are then placed <br /> within a cooler, on ice, and are hand delivered to WEGE' s <br /> laboratory that same day <br /> The vapor sample is then in]ected into an FID (Flame Ionizing <br /> Detector) chromatograph and the resulting chromatogram compared <br /> to standard chromatograms of known TFH (Total Fuel Hydrocarbons, <br /> gasoline) and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene , and xylenes) <br /> concentrations A duel chromatograph comparison as also run <br /> (Photovac 1OS50) to evaluate BTEX, TCE, PCE, and DCE <br /> ON SITE ANALYSIS <br /> Besides bag samples collected for the WEGE lanoratory some <br /> samples may be run on site using a Photovac 1OS50 PID (Photo <br /> Ionizind Detector) chromatogranh <br /> The influent and effluent samples are collected from the same <br /> ports as the bag samples but 60 cc syringes are used to collect <br /> the sample and 0 5 cc of the vapor sample are then in3ected <br /> directly into the PTD chromatograph The resulting chromatogram <br /> as then compared to a standard run on the same chromatograph <br /> prior to the sample run <br /> page 3 of 8603 , 09/16/94 <br />
