Engineering Basis

  • OGI cameras typical detection: 0.5–6 g/h depending on camera generation and conditions.
  • EPA reportable threshold: 0.05 kg/h (60 g/min visible plume).
  • Standards: EPA OOOOa Method 21 alternative, EPA Subpart W, OGMP 2.0 Levels 3-5, IPIECA.
  • Avg leak duration β‰ˆ half the survey interval (uniform leak occurrence).
