Fast, defensible data for pipeline interconnection and tariff compliance.
New programs
We scope test panels to tariff specs and provide rush logistics and analysis to meet critical interconnection and commissioning deadlines.
Ongoing program support
Recurring monitoring tailored to your pipeline tariff. We manage sampling schedules and provide reminders to ensure continuous compliance and prevent shut-ins.
Regulatory verification
Support for air permits and ESG credit programs such as the EPA Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Providing the audit-ready data required for verification.
ALS offers test panels aligned to RNG quality specifications that align with the end use and the receiving utility/pipeline, including requirements under PG&E Gas Rule 29. Some common methods may include:
| Parameter | Method / Reference |
| Gas Composition (CH₄, CO₂, O₂, N₂) | EPA Method 3C / ASTM D1946 |
| Heating Value & Wobbe | ASTM D3588 |
| Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) | ASTM D5504 |
| Total Sulfur | ASTM D5504 |
| Siloxanes | ASTM D8230 |
| VOCs / Halogenated Compounds | EPA TO-15 Modified |
| Moisture / Dew Point | ASTM D4888 |
| Ammonia | NIOSH 6015 |
| Metals & Mercury | NIOSH 7300 / ASTM D6350 |
Biogas & RNG testing process
Pipeline-spec gas testing for biogas/RNG: contaminants, methods, and compliance for interconnection.

Yes. Rush services are available to support critical deadlines.
Yes. We review your specific pipeline specs and permit conditions to align the test panel and sampling plan
Pipeline tariffs set gas quality specs for product gas. (requirements vary, but often include methane purity, sulfur, oxygen, siloxanes, moisture, and heating value).
Your air permit, state program, or credit programs like EPA Renewable Fuel Standards may require additional analytes and frequencies as well as testing of your raw biogas. We align your panel with both the pipeline and permit.
