US EPA Method 325 Package
Package for monitoring benzene and other VOCs at refinery perimeters
US EPA Method 325, which was implemented in September 2015, sets out a protocol for monitoring refinery perimeters for hazardous VOCs such as benzene, and specifies two-week passive sampling with sorbent tubes followed by analysis using TD–GC.
As well as providing a complete package of sampling and analytical equipment for full compliance with Method 325, Markes can offer a wealth of expertise, acquired over many years of dealing with regulatory compliance issues.
Features:
- Complete sampling and analytical package & full range of accessories
- TD instrumentation fully compliant with Method 325 and compatible with any GC or GC–MS system
- Reduced risk of litigation through complete chain of custody
- Specialist advice in both sampling & analysis of VOCs
Passive Monitoring of Benzene and Other Hazardous Air Pollutants
This application note describes a stepwise approach to complying with US EPA Method 325 for monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at refinery perimeters. A range of equipment from Markes International is outlined, which allow for fully method-compliant deployment of, tube-based passive samplers, sample analysis and tube cleaning.
New Sampling Equipment for EPA Method 325
Watch this video to learn about EPA Method 325 and how to effectively monitor benzene levels in and around refineries in a two week cycle. The TD-100 system can be utilized prior to sample injection into a GC-MS. The sample tubes are tracked using a tagging system and store information such as start time, end time and original location of air sample.
