Abstract: Federal regulations to address air toxic emissions from combustion sources are planned for the year 2000. With only limited information available on air toxics from natural gas industry equipment, the Gas Research Institute (GRI) initiated a program in 1992 to better understand the implication of such regulations on gas industry sources. The initial focus of GRI air toxics research was measurement of emissions in the field to identify sources with minimal emissions that will not likely be subject to regulatory control, as well as sources with emissions potentially significant enough to warrant regulation. Early program results, which identified formaldehyde emissions from reciprocating internal combustion engines as the principal air toxic issue for natural-gas fired combustion equipment, resulted in a more comprehensive program for engines. With an objective to better characterize engine formaldehyde emissions, develop low cost emission estimation tools and monitoring technology, and develop emission reduction techniques, the program has made significant progress. This paper reports on results to date, and identifies the status and plans for the ongoing program.
