1) The PDD page 25 specifies that: "Methane concentration is determined using a Bacharach Model Fyrite (or equivalent) gas analyzer. The process is described in the Monitoring Plan. The measuring equipment is calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer specifications. The equipment is accurate to within 0.5%. An industry standard gas analyser (Landtec GEM-500 or equivalent) will be used when measuring methane content of the biogas to determine the efficiency of the flaring process. The unit will be calibrated to an accuracy of ±1 percent." 
The accuracy of the Landtec Biogas Check gas analyzer used to measure the methane content has been checked by the DOE as per the specifications for the equipment by the supplier i.e. 0.5% for methane contents of less than 5% and 3% for methane contents above 15%.
The DOE is requested to clarify how it has verified that the accuracy of the gas analyzer used to measure the methane content in biogas is as per the requirements of the monitoring plan.
  Please refer to VVM version 01.2 paragraph 205 (a & c)..
