Bob: I don't think it would be practical to try and scrub out SO2 during a well testing operation and I have never heard of this sort of thing being done. Note: I would like to correct a typo the I made in my last post, the provincial ambient limit is 0.17 ppm and not 0.017 ppm. The normal way to determine if one will exceed ambient limits for SO2 is to run the variables through a dispersion modeling program. Given the H2S and CO2 levels in the gas there are only two variables that can be adjusted; the gas flow rate and the height of the flare stack. I am not sure how the EUB approaches well flaring permits but they could say some thing along the lines of, you must limit SO2 flared to X tons per day from a flare stack of not less than Y feet in height. I think this may be the approach as it would eliminate the need to do dispersion modeling for each permit. At this point I just hope that I see a flare, any flare, at this site. Regards From Alberta
