EPA Method 2E Tutorial: Determining LFG Production & Flow Rates

In this comprehensive overview, we break down USA EPA Method 2E, the official standard for determining the gas production flow rate from landfills. Whether you are an environmental consultant, a stack tester, or preparing for your QSTI exam, this video will give you a clear, step-by-step understanding of the methodology, equipment setup, and calculations required for compliance. 🕒 Video Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction to EPA Method 2E 1:15 - Core Objectives & When to Use It 2:45 - Equipment Setup & Well Installations 4:30 - Monitoring Pressure, Temperature & Flow 6:15 - Calculations & Landfill Gas Decay Rates (LFG) 8:00 - Common Field Errors & QA/QC Tips 🔍 What is EPA Method 2E? EPA Method 2E is used primarily to estimate the localized gas production rate within a solid waste landfill. By installing temporary test wells and monitoring the extraction flow rates alongside pressure drops, engineers can accurately map out the volumetric flow rate of landfill gas (LFG) emissions.
