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 before the REMOX Unit. Sterile poly tubing <br /> is then used to attach a 1 liter tedlar bag, fitted with a special <br /> septum "valve" and tubing bib, to the sample port. The sample port <br /> as on the pressure side of the pump and therefore the bag will <br /> fill with out need of a pump. Once the tedlar bag is filled, its' <br /> valve is closed and locked; the appropriate label as placed on the <br /> tedlar bag. <br /> EFFLUENT <br /> A sample port for the effluent is located in 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 Is fitted to the <br /> exhaust port and the tedlar bag. Then the sample valve of the <br /> tedlar bag as opened and the bag is filled with the sample. Once <br /> the tedlar bag is full, the valve is closed and locked, the sample <br /> port closed, and the appropriate label is placed on the bag. <br /> The labels for both the influent and effluent tedlar bag samples <br /> show the date, time, sample ID# and analyses to be run. <br /> Both the influent and effluent tedlar bag samples are then placed <br /> within a cooler, on ace, and are hand delivered to WEGE's <br /> laboratory that same day. <br /> The vapor sample is then infected into a FID (Flame Ionizing <br /> Detector)chromatograph and the resulting chromatogram compared to <br /> standard chromatograms of known TFH (Total Fuel Hydrocarbons , <br /> gasoline) and BTEX (benzene, toluene , ethlybenzene, and xylenes ) <br /> concentrations. <br /> ON SITE ANALYSIS <br /> In addition to the bag samples collected for the WEGE laboratory <br /> samples may be run on site using a Photovac lOS50 PID <br /> chromatograph. <br /> The influent and effluent samples are collected from the same <br /> ports as the bag samples but one cc syringes are used to collect <br /> the sample and the vapor samples are injected directly into the <br /> PID chromatograph. The resulting chromatograms are then compared <br /> to a standard calibration run on the same chromatograph prior to <br /> the sample run. <br /> Three effluent samples are obtained during the day and analyzed <br /> • using the 1DS50 chromatograph. The highest value as used to <br /> calculate the VOC poundage per day produced. <br /> 3 <br />
