Orsat has customized the installation of hardware and software to produce lab quality results in a robust field application for the continuous and unattended measurement of VOCs in ambient air via PAMS AutoGC systems. Over the past three decades, Orsat has deployed over 55 sites nationwide and currently maintains over 40 sites in the State of Texas for both public and private industry. In particular, Orsat has worked closely with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to monitor ambient air quality in the Barnett and Eagle Ford Shale Formations. Today, Orsat’s services encompass all aspects of PAMS site operation from deployment to operator training and application assistance in topics ranging from Microsoft Windows to gas chromatographic theory. The Orsat AutoGC end user is provided with certification data detailing the individual system performance at the time of start-up including background, detection limits, precision and linearity. Once configured, data recoveries are routinely 90–95%.
