A Case Study of the Use of the “Summa Canister” for Passive “Off-Gas” Vent Sampling and Analysis

Source

The “SUMMA CANISTER” with a restricted flow orifice was used to collect and preserve “off-gas” vent samples from a landfill in Illinois. Since the method is rarely used for vent sampling, standard accepted methods were used to confirm the integrity of the technique. The technique presented some problems in analytical procedures. They were overcome, however, and the analysis was continued. The problems encountered are presented here with possible solutions. The method appears to have the potential to be one of the more efficient ways currently available for collecting and preserving gas samples.
