GHG Monitoring

The principal supplier of water, wastewater & drainage servicing to over 2 million people throughout Australia, awarded AquaGas Pty Ltd for the supply of 2 SmartCEMS GHG for their wastewater treatment facilities.

Broadly, wastewater systems contribute to GHG emissions not only through their significant consumption of grid electricity in most cases, but also through direct emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4). These are often called ‘fugitive’ gases because they escape from the collection and treatment systems.

For this project AquaGas scope includes the provision, installation, and commissioning of 2 stand alone monitoring systems designed to monitor continuously and simultaneously N2O, CH4, CO2 and O2. Equipped with multistream sampling system, these analysers are used to check multiple sources across a wide range of locations in the client’s production facilities.

AquaGas online analysers are suited to a large range of applications related to Greenhouse Gas fugitive emissions such as emissions and process monitoring at

WTP Ponds (with sampling hood)
OCS odour control systems (inlet & discharge)
Biogas plants (digesters, engine feed, engine emissions…)
And Landfills (fenceline, landfill gas…)

When used to their full extent, the expanded capabilities offered by accurate and reliable analysers can bring real benefits by providing fast access to detailed GHG emissions data and an accurate real time overview of operating conditions at urban utilities and industrial sites.

GHG emissions from wastewater handling

Broadly, wastewater systems contribute to Greenhouses gases (GHG) emissions not only through their significant consumption of grid electricity in most cases, but also through direct emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4). These are often called ‘fugitive’ gases because they escape from the collection and treatment systems.

CH4 emission: Wastewater contains organics, which can be biologically converted to CH4 in the absence of oxygen (i.e., under anaerobic conditions). In some parts of wastewater collection and treatment systems, anaerobic conditions prevail, leading to the formation of CH4 and its subsequent emission into the atmosphere.

N2O emission: Wastewater contains nitrogen, which needs to be removed to avoid nutrient enrichment of receiving waters. Biological nitrogen removal has been implemented at most large wastewater treatment plants in Australia. N2O is either an intermediate reaction or a by-product of the key biological reactions involved. Therefore, N2O is formed in, and could be emitted from, wastewater treatment plants.

The indirect emissions are expected to decrease substantially in the coming decade, due to both the increased recovery of energy from wastewater (biogas from anaerobic digestion) and improved efficiency of electrical energy use for wastewater treatment.

Furthermore, the current trend is towards increasing renewable energy supply, with resultant lower emission factors. Therefore, it is foreseeable that direct emissions might in future dominate the GHG profile of many wastewater treatment plants. Indeed, for some treatment plant in Australia, this may already be true.

Actual methane and nitrous oxide emissions associated with wastewater handling vary significantly, depending on the type of system and a range of operating factors.

Emissions can make up a substantial portion of direct GHG emissions reported as part of the total for water utilities that serve urban areas. The existing GHG reporting (NGER) system in Australia does not make provision for measurements or estimates of actual direct emissions of nitrous oxide and methane emissions from wastewater handling.

Understanding of greenhouse gas emissions related to wastewater handling has improved a lot in the last ten years, thanks to the efforts of researchers and the water industry, including significant contributions from Australia.

Committed to a better environment, AquaGas Pty Ltd is proud to supply and support a broad product range featuring a line of analysers tailored to the measurement of Greenhouse Gases emissions in the environment or directly at the source. Already selected by councils and water agencies, AquaGas analysers offer exclusive features implemented to fulfil the needs of today’s urban utilities and waste recycling facilities.

Process Control and Purity in GH2 Plants

The realization of the importance of shifting from fossil fuels, both for environmental and energy security reasons, makes the use of green hydrogen extremely pertinent, as one of several potential low-carbon fuels that could take the place of fossil hydrocarbons in GH2 Plants.

To maintain safe operation, optimise the power to hydrogen conversion, and maximize the quality and purity of the produced hydrogen; the green hydrogen production process relies on measuring multiple parameters as extensively as possible and using the resulting data to inform GH2 Plants Operators.

AquaGas online analysers are suited to a large range of applications within the GH2 Plants providing real time gas stream composition at key locations:

Upstream or downstream of the electrolyser
At mixing stations or injection points
Along the natural gas pipeline
At customer sites just upstream of burners

When used to their full extent, the expanded capabilities offered by accurate and reliable analysers can bring real benefits by optimising efficiency and safety, and providing fast access to detailed data and an accurate real time overview of the operating conditions.

Committed to a better environment, AquaGas Pty Ltd is proud to supply and support a broad product range featuring a line of analysers and gas detection systems tailored to the GH2 industry. Already selected by several of the main actors in the green hydrogen industry, AquaGas analysers offer exclusive features implemented to fullfil the needs of today’s Green Hydrogen production.

The ProCeas® multigas analyser for GH2 applications

For process control and purity assessment at GH2 Plants, the ProCeas® uses the patented OFCEAS technology, based on extractive absorption spectroscopy. This laser-based technology is able to measure gases down to sub-ppb levels of concentration, with an unforeseen quality of measurement in terms of accuracy and repeatability. The ProCeas® samples the gas at low pressure, with an internal pressure below 100 mbar absolute. This dilution reduces the volume needed to get a correct measurement and optimizes the response time of the analyser. In the end the system requires small samples of hydrogen.

Additionally, ProCeas® has an integrated auto calibration of the measurement system, allowing no drift under normal use of the instrument. ProCeas® can analyse a large range of impurities with limited service and maintenance costs.

The ProCeas® Hydrogen key features include:

Highly sensitive
Low detection level (sub-ppb)
Complete pre-calibrated laser infra-red spectrometer
No Zero drift and no Span drift – No daily calibration required
No nitrogen, zero air, purge or other carrier gas
ProCeas® H2 Purity for ISO compliance monitoring (H2S, CO, CO2, CH4, O2, NH3, H2O, HCHO, etc.)
Process control ProCeas® H2 trace analyser (H2 and O2)
Limited volume of sample needed for an analysis

The field of application for fast and precise online analysers in the GH2 Plants is considerably exhaustive. Here below are two cases where online measurement of H2 and O2 is critical.

The ProCeas® H2 trace gas analyser

Ensure safe Electrolyse with the ProCeas® H2

At their simplest level, electrolysers produce oxygen at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode. However, many reactions in the electrolyser can cause small concentrations of oxygen to build up in the hydrogen stream and hydrogen to build up in the oxygen. This is a fault condition and must be detected by appropriate instruments that can be used as part of an automated safety system that can initiate actions in the event of an oxy-fuel gas mixing alarm being activated.

With a detection limit down to 3ppm for the H2 and 1ppm for the O2, The ProCeas® hydrogen is perfectly suited to O2 and H2 trace gas monitoring and consequently can be used to measure both traces of hydrogen in the oxygen stream and traces of oxygen in the hydrogen stream.

The ProCeas® H2 Purity

Keeping production up to standard with the ProCeas® H2 Purity

As a multi-stage process, green hydrogen production requires accurate measurement of a variety of parameters to ensure safe and efficient operation. ISO14687-2 stipulates the impurities that need to be measured and their respective limits throughout the various stages of the production process to help maintain control and avoid potential issues that could affect efficiency or safety.

ProCeas® hydrogen purity is a complete pre-calibrated multicomponent (H2S, CO, CO2, CH4, H2O, O2, NH3, H2O, HCHO, etc.) laser infrared spectrometer for measurements of impurities in hydrogen gas streams.

COMPONENT	ISO 14687-2 LIMITS (ppm)	LOD ProCeas®A (ppm)

Recent incidents have occurred in several open cut coal mines where flammable and toxic gases (NOx, SOx, CH4, CO, CO2 and H2S) have been found in areas where normal mining activities are being undertaken. Flammable and toxic gases have been found emitting from blast holes, post blast areas and strata, including spoil dumps and accumulating in the bottom of pits during temperature inversion events. Ignitions of methane have occurred during blasting operations and evidence of spontaneous combustion has been identified with the accompanying noxious gases. Methane gas has also been detected in product coal recovery tunnels, including in the cavity surrounding the coal chutes.

Hazards are evident when personnel and equipment operate in close proximity to these sources of flammable and toxic gases. Mine workers undertaking duties in and around the areas nominated should be made aware of the potential risks, their measurement and controls.

The following information may be useful in alerting mine workers in the characteristics of some the more commonly occurring gases found in open cut mines and their current recognised exposure standards.

With reference to the Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulation 2001 s142 Flammable or toxic gas, it is recommended that all open cut coal mine operators regularly review the mine Safety and Health Management System specifically related to the management of toxic and/or flammable gases on the mine site.

More specifically this review should focus on the effective implementation of the Standard Operating Procedure required under the Coal Mining Safety and Health Regulation 2001 s142.
