Executive Summary
Existing meters for measuring greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions have been insufficiently accurate or prohibitively expensive. As a result, there is little information on flow rates from a variety of sources. It is important to know flow rates of these sources because they represent either methane being released to the atmosphere or negation of the same. New metering technologies, such as those offered by Ventbuster Instruments Inc. were tested to help fill this technological gap. Phase 1 of this project sought to determine the utility of the prototype Ventsentinel® and its accuracy over it calibrated flow range, at varying flow rates, both in laboratory situations and in actual field installations including exposure to low temperatures. Laboratory testing was carried out at InnoTech Alberta and field testing was carried out at Cenovus Energy’s (Husky) field sites, CMC Research Institute southwest of Brooks, Alberta and Bonavista Energy’s field sites.
