                              ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

        The authors wish to acknowledge the assistance of Mr. Robert E. Hall,
the EPA Project Officer, whose direction and evaluation were an important
contribution to the program.
        Acknowledgment is also made to the contributions of the staff and
members of the American Petroleum Institute, the American Iron and Steel
Institute, the Portland Cement Association, American Boiler Manufacturers
Association, the American Paper Institute, and the American Gas Association.
        The cooperation of a number of industrial organizations that provided
information and allowed tests to be performed on units in their plants is
worthy of special acknowledgment.
        The assistance of K. L. Hunting and K. T. Fisher in analysis of the
trace species and organics data was invaluable in processing this data.
               LIMITATIONS ON APPLICATION OF DATA REPORTED
          The pollutant emission data cited in this report represent a
  small sample of industrial combustion equipment.  The data are intended
  to present the general emission characteristics of each type of equip-
  ment tested and the response of that equipment to combustion modifications.
  Because of the small sample size, application of the data to estimate
  mean emissions from a class of similar equipment, or to predict emissions
  from any other single piece of equipment, or for use in establishing
  emissions standards would be a misapplication.

                          INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY

1.1     OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE
        The objective of the program is to investigate the effectiveness of
combustion modifications and operating variable changes as a means of improve-
ment in thermal efficiency and for emissions control in industrial combustion
equipment.  These'techniques have previously been shown to be effective on
industrial boilers (Refs. 1, 2) and the purpose of this program is to investi-
gate the basic feasibility and/or limitations for application of this technology
to other industrial combustion devices,
        The program included a survey of equipment in use, and tests of
selected representative devices including evaluation of combustion modifica-
tions .
        The program scope provided for tests on 22 industrial combustion
devices representative of kilns, process furnaces, boilers, stationary engines
and gas turbines in industrial use.  Emissions measured included NO, NO , S09,
                                                                       j*V    •*»
SO , CO, C0_, 0_, gaseous hydrocarbons, and where possible, particulates,
particle size distribution, smoke number, and opacity.  Combustion modifica-
tions evaluated, where possible, included lowered excess air, staged combustion,
reduced air preheat,  and burner register adjustments.
        On six of the devices tested, samples were collected for analysis of
trace species and selected organics emissions.
        Two industrial boilers with extensive combustion modifications were
also tested as an addition to this contract.  Results of those tests were
reported in a separate final report  (Refs. 3 and 4).

-------
        This is a final report documenting the results of the program, including
selection of the test units, preparation of a mobile laboratory, a summary of
the test data acquired, and a discussion of the data in relation to each type
of unit design and operation.  The discussions and conclusions presented are
based on tests of a limited number of devices.  The test units were selected
as representative of typical devices.  However, because of the wide diversity
of designs in use the results cannot be interpreted as truly representative
of the entire national population of such devices.  Also included are recom-
mendations based on testing regarding the most promising directions for future
research on industrial combustion devices to reduce air pollutant emissions
and increase unit efficiency.

1.2     RESULTS OF COMBUSTION MODIFICATIONS
        The initial task of the study consisted of a survey of each type of
industrial combustion equipment.  Existing data were collected and equipment
manufacturers, operators and associations were contacted.  Industries were
defined for which emissions reduction or efficiency increase through 'combus-
tion improvement would be of significance on a national basis.  These industries
were petroleum refining, minerals, paper and metals.  The characteristics of
specific combustion equipment of most importance in those "industries were
defined within the limitations of available data.   These characteristics
were used as guides in selection of test units that would be most nearly
representative of ths total population.
        Together, several thousand devices were considered and relatively
little information was available on many device types.  Therefore, the
selected test units could not be established as a statistically representa-
tive sample.  The test results cannot, therefore,  be interpreted as repre-
sentative, in a firm statistical sense, of emission levels or efficiency of
the various device groups.  Rather, the results are intended to serve the
prime program objective:  investigation of the feasibility and effectiveness
of combustion modifications by definition of those modifications that offer
the most promise for further investigation and application.

-------
        The device types that were tested and a brief summary of NO  emissions,
                                                                   •X
reductions and control methods are shown in Table 1-1.  In general the results
indicate that combustion modifications can be applied to industrial combustion
equipment but reductions achievable vary significantly for different types of
devices.  Reductions in NO  of up to 69% were observed but on many devices
reductions were less than 10%.
        A government-owned mobile laboratory was, used for measuring air pollu-
tant emissions and unit efficiency parameters.  The mobile laboratory contains
analytical instrumentation for continuous measurement of NO, NO , SO , CO, CO,,,
                                                               X    £,        £
0 , and hydrocarbons.  Sulfur oxides (SO  and SO,), total particulate and
 £,             -•                         £       -3
particle size distribution were measured and analyzed by grab sample techniques-.
Six units were sampled for trace species and organics emissions.  In addition
to the effect of operational changes on air pollutant emissions, the effect on
unit efficiency was also evaluated.  Section 3.0 discusses instrumentation and
test procedures.
        Most petroleum refinery heaters are natural draft vertically fired
box type designs firing refinery fuel gas.  Five units tested were of this
type, but some also were fired with oil fuel.  The number of burners ranges
widely from one up to 100, but typical units have 10 to 30 burners.  Modifica-
tions evaluated included process rate, excess air, air register adjustment,
and two-stage combustion.  In general, the natural draft design was found to
be very limited in the degree of adjustments.  As a result, emissions and
efficiency were fairly unresponsive to combustion modifications.  There was
a general absence of exhaust heat recovery, and excess air levels were high.
This indicates a large potential for efficiency improvement but more extensive
modifications are required that were possible in this program.
        Three mineral kilns were tested.  A stationary ceramic tunnel kiln
exhibited low NO  emissions and extensive heat recovery was employed.  Pro-
                X
grammed temperatures along the length of the kiln must be maintained within
_+ 3 K (5 °F) so that, although the unit had 70 burners, no significant combus-
tion adjustments were possible.  Rotary cement kilns are of either wet or dry

evaluate the effect of fuel type.  This kiln had previously been tested firing
gas and oil (Ref. 3) and, in contrast to most other combustion devices, NO
                                                                          X
emissions firing gas were nearly double the emissions when firing oil.  The
current test involved coke firing and the results indicate NO  is equal to
that for oil fuel.  Many kilns are being converted from gas to solid fuel and
50% reduction in NO  emissions is expected.
                   X
        A wet process cement kiln was tested while firing natural gas to
evaluate the effect of variation-of excess air and combustion air temperature.
The two variables had to be changed simultaneously to maintain process tempera-
ture.  Reduction of excess air and increase in air preheat" reduced NO  by 14%
at design temperature.
        Three steel processing furnaces were tested.  An open hearth furnace,
firing natural gas and No. 6 oil, produced large fluctuations in NO  emissions,
                                                                   •X
from near zero to over 3000 ppm.  By reducing excess air it was possible to
reduce the average NO  emissions by 40%.  A steel billet reheat furnace firing
                     X
natural gas was tested to evaluate removal of burners from service and reduced
excess air.  With 3 of 13 burners out of service, NO  was reduced by 43%.  A
                                                    X
steel ingot soaking pit firing natural gas with a single burner was tested
with reduced excess air.  NO  was reduced by 69%—the largest reduction
achieved on the devices tested.
        One aluminum furnace was tested to evaluate the effect of excess air.
The unit was a batch type scrap aluminum melter with two burners.  Emissions
were measured for both natural gas and distillate oil firing.  This unit
exhibited the unusual but not unique characteristic of an increase in NO  as
excess air was reduced.  Stack temperatures were very high, 1200 K (1700 °F)
indicating a good potential for efficiency improvement through combustion air
preheat.
        Four boilers were tested, firing unconventional fuels:  two with wood,
one with papermill black liquor, and one with carbon monoxide gas from an oil
refinery catalytic cracking unit.  Tests on the two wood-fired boilers were
complicated by fluctuations in wood flow,  on one of these boilers, reduction

-------
of air preheat and burner adjustments did not reduce NO  but removing one of


the four burners from service reduced NO  by 20%.  The second boiler fired wood
                                        x

and coal.  NO  on coal alone was 38% higher than with wood and coal together.
             X

Lowered excess air and shutting overfire air ports reduced NO  by about 18%.
                                                             X


        The boiler firing black liquor  (by product from wood digestion to make


pulp) required very close control of operation to ensure complete recovery


of sodium from the liquor.  NO  emissions were low;  adjustment of secondary
                              X

air registers reduced NO  by 33% but increased HC by 200%.  The boiler firing
                        X

carbon monoxide gas was tested with reduced excess air, NO  port adjustment,
                                                          X

and burners out of service.   NO  was variable and did not respond well to the
                               X

modifications.  This was attributed to ammonia in the CO gas;  conversion of


ammonia to NO  is relatively insensitive to flame conditions.


        One natural gas fired internal combustion engine was tested and modifi-


cations were made to the operation to evaluate the effect on emissions and ef-


ficiency.  Modified operation included the effect of load, RPM, and air/fuel


ratio on emissions and efficiency.  Load had a pronounced effect on NO  emis-
                                                                      X

sions and efficiency while engine speed influenced HC emissions and efficiency


to a large extent.  Reductions of up to 23% in NO  and 42% in CO were obtained


but consistent repeatability is questionable.



        A 600 kW diesel powered electric generator was tested to evaluate the


effect of load and inlet air temperature.  Reduction of load to 200 kW did not


reduce NO  but at 100 kW, NO  was reduced by 14%.  Reduction of inlet air
         x                  x

manifold temperature reduced NO  by 7% at full load.
                               X


        Two gas turbine/boiler combined cycles were tested.  Both units fired


refinery gas.  Adjustment of the boiler air registers and removing one of


eight burners from service reduced NO  by 14% on the first unit.  Similar


tests in the  second unit  (4 of 16 burners out of service) reduced NO  by 38%.
                                                                    X



        Results for all tests are discussed in detail in Section 4.0.
        As a result of tests and observations, recommendations have been


 formualted to define objectives for future research.  These recommendations


 are contained in Section 5.0.

-------
1.3     TRACE SPECIES AND ORGANIC EMISSIONS
        Samples were collected from six of the units with the Source Assess-
ment Sampling System (SASS Train) to determine trace, minor and major species
and organics emissions.  Fuel and process samples were also collected so
that mass balances could be evaluated.  On two of the units, SASS samples
were taken upstream and downstream of electrostatic precipitator dust collectors.
Atomic absorption was used for analyzing 20 elements, wet chemistry was used
for chloride, fluoride, nitrates, and sulfates, and chromatography was used
for total POM and total PCB.  Samples from the SASS train organic module were
also analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify eight specific
POM compounds that are considered to be the most carcinogenic.
        A total of fifteen SASS sample runs were made.  Except for one unit
(test 14), all runs were repeated.  The SASS train used was one of the original
prototype designs.  The unit was sized to operate at 4 actual cubic feet per
minute (0.113 am /m) at the cyclone particle collectors (478 K, 400 °F).
Later trains were resized for 4 standard cfm.  Sampling runs were made for
5 hours or until two filters were loaded to capacity.  The design goal for the
SASS train was to sample a total volume of 30 dry normal cubic meters  (dNm ).
This goal was primarily for sampling on coal-fired utility boilers.  For the
industrial units tested downstream of dust collectors, the sample time of 5
hours typically resulted in a total sample volume of 10 to 18 dNm   (depending
on stack gas moisture content).  When sampling upstream of collectors, the
sample volumes were much less, 1.3 to 2.9 dNm  based on the restriction to
two filters.  Based partly on KVB experience in this program, the SASS train
has been redesigned for a higher flow rate and the filter has been enlarged
to increase the time between filter changes.  Also the size of the 1 ym cyclone
collection cup was increased.
        Minor mechanical problems in train operation were encountered,
involving breakage of glass impingers, cyclone oven heater shorts and sample
probe heating element failure.  These failures did not cause any significant
delay in testing.  However, operation of the SASS train was considerably more
time consuming than a standard EPA Method 5 particulate train.  Total elapsed
time to make one run was about 16-24 hours;  this included training precleaning,
assembly, set up, sample collection, sample recovery, and train clean up.

-------
        Results of the sample analysis represent a massive amount of data as
seen in the 76 tables contained in Appendix F.   Appendix F presents sample
concentrations, emission rates, and mass balances.  A brief summary of the
emission rates is presented in Table 1-2.  EPA MATE values (Ref. 10) are
shown in Table 1-2 for comparison with emissions.  Table 1-3 shows the parti-
culate emissions less than 3 urn (as percent of total particulate emissions).
Results for each unit tested are discussed in the sections of this report that
present individual test unit results.  A summary of the overall perspective of
the results for each specie is presented below.

        Antimony was detected in the exhaust of  three units at  120  to 230
Ug/m  .  Mass balances were very poor, mainly because fuel and process sample
concentrations were frequently below detection limits.  In the  fine particulate
 (< 3  Urn), antimony was either not detected or samples were too  small to analyze.
        Arsenic—
                                                                    2
        Arsenic was detected on four of  the units at 0.4 to 370 Ug/m  •  Mass
balances ranged from 0.43 to 360.  In general the arsenic was collected in  the
solid particulate  (52 to 95%) rather than the impinger section  indicating
condensation at over 477 K  (400 °F).
        Barium—
        Barium emission was 31 to 830 Ug/m  and  was detected on all units.
Barium was detected in the  fine particulate on only one unit, the open hearth
 furnace, for which 50% of the barium was in the  fine particulate.   Barium is
one of the elements that usually produces good mass balances.   However, for
these tests mass balances varied from 0.29 to  5.3.
        Beryllium—
        Beryllium was detected on four units at  0.24 to 5.1 U9/ro  •  Mass
balances ranged  from 0.25 to 2.0.  Beryllium was detected  in fine particulate
on only one test, the cement kiln, for which 100% was  in  fine particulate.

-------
        Cadmium—
        Emissions ranged from 1.9 to 18 yg/m  with mass balances from 0,3 to
1.9.  The amount in fine particulate was 3% and 68% for two tests.
        Calcium—
        Emissions ranged from 440 to 480,000 yg/m  with very good mass
balances on four units  (0.73 to 2.7).  For the open hearth furnace the mass
balance was 185 relative to the fuel- input.  On that unit additional material
was picked up from the molten steel bath? there was no way to determine an
overall mass balance that included the steel.  The amount of calcium in fine
particulate was 5% and 42% for two tests, very nearly the same as for
cadmium.
        Chromium—
        Emissions ranged from 140 to 2,400 yg/m , with mass balances of 0.62
to 1.5, except for 550 on the open hearth furnace.  Fine particulate contained
13 and 14% for two tests.
        Cobalt—
        Cobalt was detected for five units, emissions ranged from 6 to 300
yg/m  with mass balances of 0.84 to 2.2  (340 on the open hearth).  Fine
particulate contained 14%, detected on only one unit.
        Copper—
        Copper was detected on all six units at 3.3 to 2700 yg/m , with mass
balances of 0,7 to 0.82 on three units (75 on open hearth).  For two tests,
the fine particulate contained 4% and 59% of the copper.
        Iron—
        Iron was detected on all units at 510 to 530,000 yg/m , with mass
balances of 0.62 to 2.9 (1.5 to < 1700 on open hearth).  Fine particulate
contained 91% and 51% of the iron on two units.
                                     11

-------
        Lead—
        Lead was detected on five units, with emissions of 20 to 44,000 pg/m
and mass balances of 0.3 to 0.65 (95 on open hearth).  The fine particulate
contained 0.7% and 73% of the lead for two units.
        Manganese—
        Manganese was detected on all units, with emissions of 30 to 3000
pg/m  and mass balances of 0.57 to 10 (< 1000 on open hearth).  The fine
particulate contained 37% and 70% of the manganese on two tests.
        Mercury—
        Mercury was below detection on five units.  Based on the detection
limits, emissions could be as high as 1.8 to 24 pg/m  on these five units.
Mercury was detected on the wood/bark boiler at 0.11 pg/m  but mercury could
not be detected in the fuel so no mass balance could be made.  The fine
particulate from the wood/bark boiler contained 72% of the mercury.
        Nickel—
        Nickel was detected on all units at 69 to 2100 pg/m  with mass balances
of 0.79 to 2.7  (23 on the open hearth furnace).  The fine particulate contained
11% and 6% of the nickel for two tests.
        Selenium—
        Selenium was detected on three units at 1.9 to 62 pg/m  with mass
balances of 0.5 to 1.8  (> 7.5 on open hearth).  Selenium in the fine particulate
was 3% for the black liquor boiler but was undetected on other units.
        Tellurium—
        Tellurium was detected only on the open hearth furnace at 590 pg/m .
The mass balance was > 2.8 based on the fuel input detection limit  (tellurium
was below detection in the fuel).  The fine particulate contained 88% of the
tellurium.  Tellurium was not detected on other units.  The detection limits
for tellurium are relatively high compared with the other elements.
        Tin—
        Tin was below detection for all tests.
                                      12

-------
        Titanium—
        Titanium was detected for five units but not for the diesel engine.
Emissions ranged from 470 to 2700 Ug/m ,  with mass balances of 0.2 to 3.0
(< 160 for the open hearth).  The fine particulate contained 100% and 50%
for two units.
        Vanadium—
        Vanadium was detected on three units at 9 to 112 ug/m .   Mass balances
were 0.8 and 1.1 for two tests, and for those tests the fine particulate
contained 15% and 65% of the vanadium.
        Zinc—
        Zinc was detected on all tests at 73 to 200,000 Ug/m , with mass
balances of 0.17 to 1.1 (8000 for the open hearth).  For two tests, the fine
particulate contained 15% and 65% of the  zinc.
        Chloride—
        Chloride was detected in all tests at 44 to 15,000 ug/m , with mass
balances of 0.12 to 6.5 (29 for the open  hearth).  The fine particulate
contained 0.055, 7, 35 and 9% of the chloride for four tests.
        Fluoride—
        Fluoride was detected in all tests at 68 to 15,000 ug/m  with mass
balances of 0.12 to 1.1.  The fine particulate contained 2, 34 and 15% of
the fluoride in three of the tests.
        Nitrates—
        Nitrates were detected for all tests at 9.1 to 1700 Ug/m  with mass
balances of 0.1, 1.5 and 5.4 on three of  the tests.  The fine particulate
contained 100% and 29% of the nitrates on two tests.
        Sulfates—
        Sulfates were detected on all tests at 1300 to 45,000 Ug/m .  Mass
balances for three tests were 0.06, 0.38  and 0.97.  Complete mass balance is
not expected because sulfur in the fuel can form sulfates during combustion.
                                      13

-------
Sulfate was detected in fine particulate on three tests at 1, 55 and 8% of
the total sulfates.  Sulfate reported was that collected in the cyclones,
filter and XAD-2.  The impinger values were not reported because SO  is
trapped and cannot be distinguished from sulfates.
        Total POM—
        POM was detected on all units except the diesel engine.  Total POM
emissions ranged from 0.6 to 5000 yg/m  by gas chromatographic analysis.  The
highest value, 5000 Ug/m  on the black liquor recovery boiler, was 14 times
higher than the next highest unit, the wood boiler.  Mass balance for POM was
not established because POM is not expected to be conserved in combustion.
However, it was noted that POM emission on the black liquor boiler was 1.5
times the POM content of the black liquor fuel.  Most of the POM was collected
in the organic module.  For two tests, sufficient particulate was obtained for
POM analysis.  In those two tests, 27% and 2% of the total POM was in the fine
particulate.
        POM Compounds—
        Organic module samples were analyzed by GC/MS for eight specific
POM compunds.  As shown in Table 1-2, only three of these compounds were
detected on four tests:
            Benz(a)pyrene
            Benzo(c)phenanthrene (detected in one test only)
            Dibenzo(a,h)anthracene (detected in one test only)
All three of these compounds were detected on the black liquor recovery boiler.
The B(a)P concentration was 0.18 Ug/m .  This was about 4500 times the B(a)P
concentration for the other units.  B(a)P from other units ranged from 0.000023
to 0.000040 ug/m3  {23 to 40 pg/m ).  However, the value of 0.18 Ug/m  is similar
to the range of 0.07 to 1.4 Ug/m  reported for coal-fired steam power plants
(Ref. 8, 20-400 Ug/10  Btu * 283 m /10  Btu).  The other two compounds above
were not detected" on the other three units.
                                      14

-------
        Five other compounds, to be analyzed, were not detected in any
samples:
          7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene
          3-Methylcholanthrene
          Dibenzo(a,h)carbazole
          Dibenz(ai)pyrene
          Dibenz(ah)pyrene
The detection limit for each specific POM compounds was 0.1 ng in the total
sample.  As reported in Appendix F a number of other POM compounds were
detected.  However, these compounds are not considered to be highly carcinogenic.
        Polychlorinated biphenyls  (PCB)—
        PCB was detected for only one test, the open hearth steel furnace.
The concentration was 2.4 pg/m  and was reported to be almost entirely
Aeroclor 1248, a commercial PCB compound.  Aeroclor 1248 was used as the
standard for quantifying the measured PCB.  It is possible that the sample
became contaminated with the standard although the reporting laboratory
indicates that did not occur.  If the PCB was in fact emitted from the open
hearth furnace, the source was most probably scrap metal added to the melt.
The scrap may have included a container that had been in contact with PCB.
The plant operator did not have any information on the source of the scrap.
1.4     MATE VALUE COMPARISON
        EPA Minimum Acute Toxicity Effluent (MATE)  values shown in Table 1-2
are "approximate concentrations in source emissions to air which will not
evoke significant harmful or irreversible responses in exposed humans, when
those exposures are limited to short duration (less than 8 hours per day) "
(Ref. 10).   MATE values are exceeded for one or more elements in all the six
units tested.  Elements and the "Degree of Hazard" (Emission/MATE)  are:
             Process Heater:  nickel (12)
             Rotary Cement Kiln:  cadmium (1.5), chronium (120), cobalt
                (3.4), nickel (7.3)
             Open Hearth Steel Furnace:  arsenic (75) , cadmium (57),
                chromium (2400), cobalt (2.4),  copper (13.5), lead (290),
                nickel (140), tellurium (5.9),  zinc (50)
                                      15

-------
             Wood/Bark Boiler:   arsenic  (185),  chromium (270),  nickel  (17)

             Black Liquor Recovery Boiler:   beryllium (2.6),  cadmium (1.8),
                chromium (150),  cobalt (6),  nickel  (5),  benz(a)pyrene  (9)

             Diesel Engine:   arsenic  (24), barium (1.7),  beryllium (2),
                chromium (140),  nickel (8)


1.5     CONCLUSIONS

    1.  Selection of representative industrial combustion devices was
        difficult because of the limited amount of information available.
        Effort should be directed to the further study of all types of
        devices.  In particular, no data were found on petroleum refinery
        heater size and populations.

    2.  Natural draft petroleum process heaters appear to be low emitters
        on an individual device basis.  However, as a total group, they
        apparently constitute a large fraction of industrial NOX emis-
        sions.  Conventional combustion adjustments were found to be of
        limited effectiveness for NOX emissions reduction or efficiency
        improvement.  There is a need for development of specific
        techniques for these particular devices.

    3.  Forced  draft process heaters  tested produced higher NOX emissions
        than did  natural draft heaters, particulary with combustion air
        preheat.   Reduction of excess air reduced NOX on a heater without
        air preheat but there was no  reduction on the heater that had air
        preheat.

    4.  Rotary  cement  kilns produce high levels of NOX emissions and appear
        to have a good potential  for  NOX reduction by  fuel switching and
        adjustment of  operating temperatures.  The single burner employed
        in most units  has little provision  for adjustment other than
        excess  air levels or burner redesign.

    5.  Three steel processing  furnaces showed good potential  for NOx
        reduction by  reducing excess  air; 40 to  69% reductions were
        obtained.  Removing burners from service on a  reheat furnace
        reduced NOX by 43%.

    6.  Tests of  one  aluminum melting furnace  indicated  premixed burning
        characteristics,  i.e.,  NOX increased with decreased  excess  air.
        NOX  emissions  were found  to be relatively low  in spite of hot
        refractory.   The  unit tested  had a  very  high stack temperature
        with good potential  for efficiency  improvement.

    7.  Two  boilers burning wood  with gas or coal were amenable to  applica-
        tion of air register adjustment, reduced excess  air  or burners out
        of service; reduction of  15 to  23%  in  NOX were observed.  Fluctua-
        tions  in  wood flow present a  problem in maintaining  stable,  repeatable
        emission  levels.

 8.  The black liquor recovery boiler produced low NOX emissions.   How-
     ever, it was possible to reduce NO  by 30% with secondary air
     adjustment.
 9,  The boiler burning CO gas showed little response to combustion
     modifications,  attributed to ammonia in the CO gas being converted
     to NO .
          x
10.  The two  reciprocating engines tested showed limited potential for
     NOX reduction by operational adjustments.  Variation of load,
     speed, air, and fuel adjustments produced little change in NOX
     on a natural gas engine.  Load reduction and inlet air tempera-
     ture reduction produced slight reductions in NO  on a diesel
     engine.
11.  Two boilers operating in gas turbine/boiler combined cycle units
     responded to burners out of service.  Reductions in NO  of 14 and
     38% were observed.

12.  Only slight changes occurred in thermal efficiency on all units
     when combustion modifications were applied.  Changes were both
     positive and negative with no specific trends observed.

13,  Nearly all the known chemical elements were detected in the
     emissions from six units on which trace species and organics  tests
     were conducted.  Concentrations covered a very wide range from
     0.11 pg/m3 for mercury to 530,000 Jig/m3 for iron.  All units  emit
     one or more specie that exceeds EPA MATE values.
14.  Of the devices tested, a steel open hearth furnace produced
     highest emissions for most of the species.

15.  The EPA Source Assessment Sampling System  (SASS train), basically
     designed to sample exhaust from coal-fired utility boilers, proved
     to be adequate for other sources but redesign to increase flow
     rate, filter capacity should improve the collection.

                        TEST UNIT SELECTION

2.1     OBJECTIVE
        The objective for selection of test units was to locate units
that are representative of current industrial kilns, boilers, process
heaters, furnaces, dryers, ovens, stationary internal combustion en-
gines, and gas turbines.  The determination was to be made with ref-
erence to existing data,  and contact with manufacturers and associ-
ations.  This emphasis on selection of representative units would
enhance the widest possible applicability of the program results to
many industrial combustion devices.
2.2     APPROACH
        The scope of the test program provided for tests of about
25 devices.  Since there are several thousand industrial combustion
devices, it would not be possible to select test units representative
of all types of units in current use.  The emphasis was therefore
placed on selection of units within industries that are most signi-
ficant in terms of national emissions of criteria pollutants (NO , SO,,,
                                                                x    «<*
CO, HC, and particulates) and of energy consumption.
        The data used in unit selection were gathered from the U.S.
EPA, including the computerized National Emissions Data System (NEDS),
various contractor reports, equipment manufacturers, associations of
manufacturers, and equipment operators.
        With regard to the category of boilers, the survey was
restricted to units that operate with unconventional fuels.  In-
dustrial boilers burning the conventional fuels, natural gas, fuel
oil and coal, have been examined in detail in previous studies (Refs.
 1 and 2.)
                                    18

-------
        All criteria pollutant emissions were considered.  However,

the fact that NO., emissions are generally most amenable  to reduction by
                X
combustion modifications leads to an emphasis on devices that are

high in NO  emissions.

                                  19

-------
        For many equipment types, specific data were not available in
sufficient detail to allow completely representative test unit selection.
In many cases, it was necessary to rely on industry contacts to suggest
units they considered "typical".
        The following sections summarize selection criteria established
for each unit type based on the survey.  Table 2-1 presents the lists of
unit types and number selected for testing.
2-3:1   Petroleum Refinery Process Heaters_
        Heaters are used in most of the various refining processes from
crude distillation to petrochemical feed stock production.  There is,
therefore, a substantial variety of heater types, but most are basically
either (1) vertical tube cylindrical shell type, or (2) horizontal tube
box type.  Heaters are either of forced or natural draft.  The majority
are of natural draft design and most are fired with refinery gas with
limited use of fuel oil and waste fuels.  There is a trend toward in-
creased use of forced draft with air preheat for efficiency improvement.
No information was available on heater sizes.  However, the average refinery
size is about 8000 m  of oil/day  (50,000 barrels/day) with an average of
about 26 heaters per refinery, or about 7,000 heaters total in the 260
refineries in the U.S.
        Selection of test units was concentrated in refineries close to
the average size.  Both natural draft and forced draft units were included
with operation on refinery gas and fuel oil.
2.3.2   Wood Bark Boilers
        These boilers are somewhat similar to coal fired boilers in the
use of underfed grates, traveling grates or spreader stokers.  Provision
for supplemental firing of oil or gas is common.  There is a high vari-
ability in wood moisture and salt content.  Very limited information on
number and typical size was available.  Alabama, Georgia, and Texas are
the states which appear to have the highest concentration of capacity.

                                                               •S
Based on limited data, the average size boiler appears to be rated at
about 113,000 kg/hr (250,000 Ib/hr)  steam flow and selection of units
in this size range was the objective.
2.3.3   Black LiquorRecovery Boilers
        These boilers are significantly different in design compared with
conventional boilers.  Their function is to burn the wood organics out of
the black liquor and to recover sodium sulfate for reuse in the wood diges-
tion process.  Black liquor is the organic residue from the wood digestion
process.  Combustion of black liquor requires separation of furnace areas
into an upper oxidizing zone and a lower reducing zone.  Air injection
control is quite critical.  An average unit has a heat input of 117 MW
(400x10  Btu/hr) and there are about 274 units.  Georgia, Louisiana and
Alabama have the highest total capacity.  At the average heat input rate,  .
the average unit produces 136,000-159,000 kg/hr (300,000-350,000 Ib/hr) of
steam.
2-3.4   Portland CementKilns
        Cement kilns are large rotating cylinders up to 183 m long and
8 m in diameter.  Refractory lining results in very high temperature and
long residence times that result in high NO  formation.  Units are about
equally divided between wet and dry feed processes.  With proper burner
design, almost any fuel can be used.   Heat  recovery by air preheat is
used on all kilns in cooling the cement clinker product.  There are about
412 kilns in the U.S. with the average size rated at 206x10  kg of cement/year
(227,000 tons/year).  Pennsylvania, Texas and California are the states with
the most kilns and greatest total capacity.
2.3.5   Iron and Steel Furnaces
        Open hearth furnaces are major sources of NO  emissions in the steel
                                                    iC
industry.  These furnaces are being replaced by basic oxygen furnaces  (BOF)
and no new open hearth units are being built.  However, the flexibility of
open hearths to scrap/hot metal ratio is greater than for the BOF so that
                                      22

-------
use of open hearths is expected to continue for some time.  The open hearth
process is cyclic and NO  emissions vary widely over the typical 8-hour
                        X
heating cycle.  One heating cycle is termed a "heat".  Currently, there
are up to 189 furnaces in operation at an average size of 227,000 kg of
metal per heat (250 tons/heat).  Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana have 70%
of the open hearth capacity.  These units all have one burner at each end
of the hearth fired with natural gas, oil, pitch, tar or coke oven gas.  Some
units may also have burners in the roof that may be fed with either air or
oxygen.
        Soaking pits heat steel ingots in preparation for initial forming
operations and are batch type furnaces.  One or two high volume flow burners
circulate hot gas in the furnace and designs differ in circulation patterns.
Natural gas is the predominant fuel but oil and waste fuels are used.  Data
indicates about 1435 units exist but there is no information on typical
sizes.
        Reheating furnaces reheat partially formed steel for further pro-
cessing.  These units, numbering about 1260, have 10-30 burners in 2 to 5
zones for uniform and controlled heating.  Most are fired with natural gas.
No data on sizes were available.
        Coke ovens and blast furnaces are important in the steel industry.
However, they are relatively low in NO  emissions and have burners that
                                      X
are dissimilar to other combustion devices.  These devices were therefore
not considered in selection of test 'units.  Therefore, a large number of
heat treating furnaces (about 4,500} that are also believed to be low in
total emissions, compared with other furnaces.  This, together with very
strict requirements on temperature and atmosphere control, indicates low
probability of successful application of combustion modifications.
2.3.6   Glass^ Container Melting Furnaces
        Glass melting furnaces are large refractory lined tanks with high
air preheat (1400 K, 2000 °F).  There are two basic designs:  end port and
side port.  This refers to burner locations.  End port units have two burners
and side port units have 6 to 10 burners.  Only one-half the burners fire at
one time with air reversal 'through exhaust-heated checker bricks for preheating.

                                      23

-------
        About one-half the total glass industry is devoted to glass container
manufacture and there are about 334 melting furnaces in 117 glass container
plants.  Details on all furnaces are not available.  However, data from one
large company indicates a representative side port furnace produces 141,000
                                                         2        2
kg of glass/day (155 tons/day) with a melter area of 84 m  (900 ft ).  End
port furnaces are slightly smaller with average production of 120,000 kg of
                                            2        2
glass/day (132 tons/day) and an area of 60 m  (645 ft ).  Most-furnaces use
natural gas fuel with standby oil.
        No glass furnaces were tested because they are constructed with very
simple pipe burners that cannot be adjusted -without affecting glass quality.

2.3.7   Stationary Reciprocating Engines
        There are a large number of designs and sizes of industrial reciproca-
ting engines.  Basic types are compression ignition  (diesel)  and spark igni-
tion (gas or oil) and each type can be either a 2 or 4 stroke cycle.  Fuel
consumption energy is about 75% natural gas with the remainder as diesel
fuel, residual oil, and gasoline.  There are about 290,000 engines in current
use in the oil and gas production industries, with 90% of these being small
natural gas fueled engines at an average power rating of 11 kW (15 hp).  The
remaining 25,000 are larger diesel and natural gas engines ranging from
150-1900 kW  (250 to 2500 hp) in average power for various applications.  A
survey of oil refineries in Southern California indicated an average engine
size of 330 kW  (440 hp).
        Numbers and sizes of engines in various other applications vary
widely as indicated in Appendix A.  The largest number of engines in a
single application  (160,000) occurs for diesel engines used for electric
power generation.
        Based on the survey, the test program concentrated on natural gas
engines in the oil and gas industry and on industrial diesel engine generator
sets.
2.3.8   Stationary GasTurbines
        Gas turbines are used in three basic system  configurations:'  simple
cycles, regenerative, and compound  (or combined) cycles.  The majority of
installations are of simple cycle type, i.e., a conventional gas turbine

                                      24

-------
without heat recovery.  Primary applications are for electrical generation
and pipeline pumping.  Fue'ls are predominantly natural gas and distillate
oils but residual oils and refinery gas are used.  No information was found
available to determine the average unit size.
        The design of gas turbine combustion systems is such that there is
no provision for field adjustments or combustion modifications.  Some engines
are equipped with water injection systems for NO  control.  These engines
                                                X
are mainly the large electric utility gas turbines.  None of the industrial
gas turbines are believed to have water injection.  Test unit selection is
therefore limited to the utility units.
        While direct gas turbine combustion system modifications are not
practical, units that operate in conjunction with fired waste heat boilers
can be evaluated for the potential of NO  reduction through boiler modi-
                                        X
fications.  Staged combustion in the boiler has promise for destruction
of NO  from the gas turbine and resultant turbine/boiler emissions lower
     X
than for a turbine operating alone.  Test unit selection therefore included
combined cycle gas turbines for evaluation of'this effect.
2.3.9   Other Devices
        The list at the beginning of Section 2.3 includes several com-
bustion devices that were not selected for test: charcoal retorts, coke
ovens, ammonia reformers, and blast furnaces.  Also, some devices
were selected for test that were not specifically considered in the
equipment survey.  This section discusses these devices.
        Charcoal retorts and coke ovens are similar in processing
carbonaceous materials in a deficiency of air.  These processes do
not use burners directly but use burners for external heat generation.
Coke ovens.have fixed design orifice burners and adjustments can only
be made to stack dampers.  No specific information was found on char-
coal retort designs.  Both of these devices were not believed to be
particularly suited for the types of combustion modifications planned
but may warrant further consideration in future studies.
                                       25

-------
        An ammonia reformer was inspected as a candidate for test.  These
units have many burners and very critical gas temperature profile criteria
and much effort is expended in balancing and optimizing the combustion
process.  Based on the inspection, it was decided that modifications planned
for the current program would not be feasible on these devices.
        Blast furnaces depend primarily on coke charged with the ore feed
for combustion heat although external burners are being used.  The exhaust
gas does not enter the atmosphere but is recovered as fuel partly used to
preheat blast furnace air with the balance used as fuel in the steel mill
devices.  Previous tests have shown blast furnace emissions to be relatively
low and not particularly suited for application of combustion modifications
{Ref. 5).
        Four devices not specifically evaluated in the equipment survey were
selected for test:  a refinery carbon monoxide boiler, a ceramic tunnel kiln,
an aluminum melter, and a blast furnace gas boiler. • Carbon monoxide boilers
are air pollution control devices consuming CO emitted by petroleum refinery
catalytic cracking units.  These emissions are a significant fraction of total
industrial boiler emissions in areas where large refineries are located
(Ref. 5).
        A ceramic tunnel kiln was selected as representative of stationary
(as opposed to rotary) kiln processes.  These kilns are classified together
with cement kilns in national fuel consumption (Appendix A) and have a
large number of fuel burners to which combustion modifications could be
applicable.
        An aluminum melting furnace was selected on the basis of recommenda-
tions from a previous survey as discussed in Appendix A,  The survey in the
current program did not indicate high emissions from aluminum furnaces and
the purpose of the test was to resolve the apparent differences between
survey results.
        A blast furnace gas boiler was selected on the basis of a previous
study that indicated a significant contribution to industrial boiler NO
                                                                       X
emissions  (Ref. 5),   However, a test site for this type of boiler could
not be obtained.

                      INSTRUMENTATION AND TEST PROCEDURES


        The emission measurements were made using analytical instruments and
equipment contained in a government-furnished mobile instrumentation labora-
tory contained in an 2.4 x 9.1 meter (8 x 30 ft) trailer.  A plan and side
view of the trailer are shown in Appendix B.  Gaseous emission measurements
were made with the following analytical instruments:

        Total oxides of sulfur were measured by wet chemistry methods using
the sampling train and analytical procedure of the Shell-Emeryville method.
Total particulate measurements were made using an EPA Method 5 sampling train
manufactured by Western Precipitation Division of Joy Manufacturing Co.
Particulate size distribution was made using either an Andersen 200 Cascade
Impactor or a Brink Model B Cascade Impactor depending upon the grain loading.
Smoke density was measured using an automated Bacharach smoke spot pump.
Samples for trace species and organic analysis were taken with a high volume
sampling trained called the Source Assessment Sampling System {SASS train).
Stack opacity readings were made during particulate tests according to EPA
Method 9.

3.1     GAS SAMPLING AND CONDITIONING SYSTEM
        A flow schematic and description of the flue gas sampling and
analyzing system is presented in detail in Appendix B.  Briefly, the sampling
system uses pumps to continuously draw flue gas from the boiler into the
laboratory.  A high capacity positive displacement diaphragm pump is used
to draw a high volume of flue gas into the unheated portion of the system
to provide adequate system response.  The pump pulls from a manifold connected
to 24 unheated sample lines.  Selector valves allow composites of up to 12
points to be sampled at one time.  The probes are connected to the sample
manifold with 0.0095 m  (3/8 in.) nylon line.  Stainless steel quick dis-
connect couplings are provided to facilitate the connection between the
sample lines and the instrumentation laboratory.  The sample from each line
then passes into individual water traps.  The water traps consist of glass
bubblers used to collect water condensed from the sample and drain valves for
emptying the traps are provided.  A positive displacement diaphragm sample
pump draws unheated sample gas through a refrigerated condenser to reduce
the dew point to 275 K  (35 °F), a rotameter with flow control valve, the
sample pump, a 1 micron filter, and to the 0 , NO, CO, and C0_ instrumenta-
tion.  Flow to the individual analyzers is measured and controlled with
rotameters and flow control valves.  Excess sample is vented overboard.
        Special precautions are required to obtain a representative sample
for the analysis of NO  , SO , and hydrocarbons.  These precautions consist
simply of insuring that the sample is kept above its dew point, since these
constituents are quite soluble in water.  For this reason, a separate
electrically heated sample line is used to bring the sample into the labora-
tory for analysis.  The line is  9.5 mm   (3/8 in.) stainless steel line,
electrically traced and insulated.  Metal bellows pumps provide sample to the
hydrocarbon, SO  , and NO  analyzers.

3.2     GASEOUS EMISSIONS
        The laboratory  is equipped with analytical instruments to continuously
measure concentrations of NO, NO  , CO, CO  , 0  , SO , and hydrocarbons.  The

through the sampling and conditioning system described in the previous sections.
Appendix B describes the analytical instrumentation.

-------
3.3     PARTICULATE EMISSIONS
        Particulate samples are taken at the same sample port as the gas
sample using a Joy Manufacturing Company portable effluent sampler.  This
system, which meets the EPA design specifications for Test Method 5, Deter-
mination of Particulate Emissions from Stationary Sources (Federal Register,
Volume 36, No. 27, page 24888, December 23/ 1971) is used to perform both
the initial velocity traverse and the particulate sample collection.  Dry
particulates are collected in a heated case that contains, first, a cyclone
to separate particles larger than 5 .microns and, second, a 100 mm glass-
fiber filter for retention of particles down to 0.3 microns.  Condensible
particulates are collected in a train of 4 Greenburg-Smith impingers in a
chilled water bath.
3.4     TRACE ELEMENT AND ORGANIC EMISSIONS
        Particulate and gaseous samples for analysis of trace elements and
organics are taken at the same ports as the gas and standard particulate
samples.  The sampling system is based on a modified Aerotherm high volume
sampling system which is called the Source Assessment Sampling System (SASS
train).  Dry particulates are collected in a heated case that contains three
cyclones to separate particles larger than 10 pm, 3-10 \m, and 1-3 pra.
Particles less than 1 \m are collected on a 142 mm glass-fiber filter.
Filtered sample gas is then cooled to 293 K to 333 K (68 to 130 °F) and
passed through an organic adsorbent consisting of XAD-2 chromosorb type
adsorbent.  Condensate is collected in a trap and the dried gas passes through
an impinger train in a chilled water bath.  The first impinger contains a
hydrogen peroxide solution for SO  scrubbing and the second and third impingers
contain reagents for volatile trace species collection.  The fourth impinger
contains Drierite for final drying prior to flow control and volume measure-
ment equipment.  Operating procedures and analytical methods are discussed
in Appendix C.

3.5     UNIT OPERATIONAL DATA
        Industrial combustion devices of the types tested under this contract
have a variety of adjustments, controls, and instrumentation.  A complete set
of operational data is taken for each test.   If available, process rates,
temperatures, flows, and combustion parameters are recorded.  Typically,
fuel flow rate, pressure, air flow, pressure, stack gas temperature, and
various draft readings are made.  The positions of air registers, dampers,
and other manual controls are recorded for each test.  Appendix D discusses
methods for obtaining thermal efficiency and Appendix E contains the data
recording formats employed for the program.   A data supplement report con-
taining all raw data collected during the study is available.
3.6     TEST PROCEDURES
        Prior to a test, the test site was inspected to determine equipment
location, sample acquisition points, pertinent unit operational instruments
and recording units, and specific combustion modifications to be performed.
Tests, were outlined with unit operating personnel.
        Most tests, excluding trace species and organics sampling, were
accomplished in 4 to 6 days.  The initial day was devoted to test equipment
set-up, coordination with the unit operating personnel, a thorough review
of instruments, process and operational characteristics, and initiation of
sampling for baseline operational and emissions data.
        Following baseline data acquisition, the proposed combustion adjust-
ments were implemented individually.  All unit operational and emissions
data were recorded for each adjustment  implemented.  Fuel samples were
obtained at pertinent points during the test period.

                                TEST RESULTS.

        This section summarizes the emission and efficiency data collected
for the units tested.  The combustion devices tested were selected from equip-
ment types as discussed in Section 2.  Within each class, the  given test
results summarize the equipment characteristics, special instrumentation
requirements, gaseous and particulate emissions data, combustion modifications,
efficiency, and conclusions.

4,1     PETROLEUM PROCESS HEATERS
        A total of seven process heaters were tested at Locations 4, 5, 7, and
12.*
4.1.1   Process Heater  (Location 4)
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The process heater tested at Location 4 was a vertically fired natural
draft refinery heater installed in 1970.  The purpose of this unit is to heat
the feed stock to approximately 672 K  (750 °F) before spraying into a flash
chamber to separate the various hydrocarbons.  A secondary function is to
generate steam in the economizer coils in the convection section.  The heater
was fired with 32 combination oil/gas burners in two cells of 16 burners
each.  The heater had a heat input rating of 25 MW  (86.6x10  Btu/hr) .  It
was equipped with an optimizer system to keep the unit operating at a mini-
mum excess air level with limits on process temperature and furnace pressure.
There was a manual override on the optimizer so that the operator could con-
trol the excess air.  'The unit normally operates on gas but has the capability,
of firing oil.  When the unit switches to oil, it is base loaded with oil and
control is effected with gas burners.  A schematic of the tubular natural
draft fired heater is shown in Figure 4-1.
*Location numbers were assigned to each plant in which units were tested.

        Under normal conditions when the unit is firing refinery gas,
the optimizer system is used to minimize operator attention to the com-
bustion process.  The optimizer system was designed to allow furnace
operation at minimum excess air at the design conditions.  An O_ analyzer
was installed on the unit to give a continuous indication of excess O-
in the stack.  The furnace damper was controlled by sensing furnace
pressure.  If product temperature changes, a fuel flow change is neces-
sary.  Any change in fuel flow causes the damper to open.  The damper
then begins to slowly ramp closed until 'the minimum air, consistent with
the required furnace pressure, is reached.  The damper remains in this
position until perturbed by a change in fuel flow.
                                    32

-------
        A heater with no optimizer will experience excess air fluctuations
as fuel properties change.  The purpose of testing the unit with an
optimizer was to determine the effectiveness of the optimizer as a means
of emissions minimization.

        The test series at location 4 provided an evaluation of the
effect of fuel variation on emissions and efficiency.  The heater was
tested with the "normal" fuel gas (a mixture of refinery gas and pur-
chased natural gas), an enriched gas in which propane was added replac-
ing the natural gas, and finally oil firing in combination with gas
firing for control.  Analyses of the fuel gas samples are presented in
Table 4-1.  The analysis of the oil sample is presented in Table 4-2.
These analyses were performed by an independent testing laboratory.
Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography and results were presented
as volume percent.

         Special Instrumentation Requirements at Location 4—
          In addition to the emissions measurements described previously,
a complete set of control room operating data were taken for each test.
These data were specific for each heater depending upon the service
requirements.  In general, the process rate and condition (temperature
and pressure), heater input/output data (fuel type, flow, pressure, stack
temperature, etc.)  and critical temperatures (where available) were
recorded.
          Gaseous emissions measurements were taken using a single
heated sample line connected to a probe installed in the heater stack.
The location of the sample probe is shown in Figure 4-1 at a position
below the stack damper.
          Baseline Emissions Results, Process Heater (Location 4)—
          Location 4 baseline testing was conducted with the heater
operating in the "as found" condition.  Gaseous emissions data were
measured at 30-min intervals for a period of 2-1/2 hours and fuel gas
samples were taken at the start and end of the test period.  The normal
fuel being burned consisted of approximately 75% refinery gas and 25%
natural gas.  Baseline NOx emissions were 44.9 ng/J (88 ppm  reported
on a dry basis, corrected to 3% 0_).  No partieulate tests were con-
ducted on this unit  since sample ports were of inadequate size.
                                    34

-------
        Combustion Modifications, Process Heater, Location 4—
        Location 4 combustion modification tests'were conducted to evaluate
the effect of fuel changes on emissions and burner patterns on emissions and
efficiency.  The results of baseline and the combustion modification tests
are summarized in Table 4-3,  The fuel gas was enriched by adding approximately
100 bbl/day propane, replacing the natural gas.  Propane addition increased
the specific gravity from 0.68 to 0.79.  The NO  emissions increased from
44.9 ng/J  (88 ppm) at the baseline condition to 47.9 ng/J (94 ppm) with
propane addition.
        The effect of oil firing on the emissions from the heater was eval~
uated by adding 10 oil guns.  Four burners, the end burner in each row,
were out of service.  The unit was base loaded with the oil guns and control
of the unit was effected with the gas burners taking the swings in load.
This is the normal operating mode when firing oil.  The NO  emissions increased
to between 90.1 and 91.7 ng/J (169 and 172 ppm) when the unit was firing oil.
        The optimizer system, which minimizes excess air, was switched to the
manual mode to determine the effect on emissions.  Mo effect on emissions was
evident.  The overall system response—return to normal conditions—was faster
in the manual mode than with the optimizer operating.
        Several burner patterns were evaluated to determine whether burner
geometry had an influence on gaseous emissions in this heater.  The normal
operation has the end burner in each row out of service.  The various patterns
which were tested are shown in Figure 4-2.  When burners were taken out of
service, the fuel flow to the remaining burners was increased to keep the
total input constant.  The air registers to the BOOS were left open in an
effort to have a staged combustion effect.  Because of the nature of the
design of this unit, very little mixing was accomplished in the firebox and
the resulting NO  emissions were higher than for the baseline condition.
The NO  varied from 47.9 ng/J (94 ppm)  to 54.3 ng/J (106 ppm)  (approximately
      X
11%)  for the burner pattern tests.  The O  level in the stack was higher
than baseline for all BOOS tests and could not be lowered to the normal 0_
operating level due to furnace pressure limitations.  No discernable dif-
ference in CO or HC emissions was measured.

-------
        The limits on furnace pressure are critical for natural draft units.
Negative pressure is a requirement to prevent hot gas or flame from coming
out of furnace cracks and causing fires or structural overheating.  Buoyant
effects produce a pressure rise from the bottom to the top of the furnace.
Controls are set so that pressure taps at the top just below the damper
indicate a slightly negative pressure for normal operation.  Any attempt to
reduce excess air by closing the damper would result in a positive pressure
at the top of the furnace.
        The results of the fuel evaluation tests showd a slight [3.0 ng/J
(6 ppm)] NO  increase when propane was added to the fuel gas in place of
           «fU
natural gas.  Combination oil and gas firing (approximately 40% oil) resulted
in NO  emissions being nearly double [91.7 ng/J (172 ppm)] compared with gas
alone  [44.9 ng/J (88 ppm)].  Use of the optimizer system had no effect on
emissions but manual operation allowed faster response to upset conditions.
        Changes in the burner pattern in which burners were taken out of
service resulted in higher overall emissions.  Several burner patterns were
tried, all of which had higher emissions than the baseline configuration.
The overall O_ level could not be lowered to a value comparable to the base-
line condition due to furnace pressure limitations leading to higher.NO
                                                                       JC

4.1-2   Process Heaters_ JLocatign_j_)_
        Equipment Characteristics--
        Two process heaters were tested at Location 5 to evaluate the effect
of process fate  (load) on emissions and efficiency.  Three process rate
conditions were tested in each of the heaters.  Burner adjustments were also
made to determine the effect on emissions.
        The test units at Location 5 were new  (1974) vertically fired natural
draft  refinery heaters.  Both heaters are part of a reformer unit consisting
of five heaters that exhaust into common stacks.  Sample connections were
made at existing sample ports in the convection section before the flue gases
enter  the stack  (Figure 4-3).  The first unit has 16 floor-mounted burners in
a single line; six were in operation during the test.  The design rating was
                                      38

15.9 MW (54.4 x 10  Btu/hr).  The second heater has ten floor-mounted burners
in line; four were operating at the time of test.  The design rating was 10.1
MW (34.6 x 10  Btu/hr}.  Normal operation is with refinery gas, but oil guns
are available to convert to oil firing when required.  However, oil guns
were not operable during the tests.

        The reformer unit was operating at approximately 50% of capacity so
that load variation tests were possible.  The process rate was varied + 318
m /day  (+_ 2000 bbl/day) from the nominal 1908 m /day  (12,000 bbl/day) for
both heaters.
        Fuel gas samples were taken during the testing and sent to an indepen-
dent laboratory for analysis.  Analyses of the fuel gas samples are given in

were 39.0 ng/J (76 ppm) NO   at 3.9% 00 and a process rate of 1908 m /day
                          X           £•
 (12,000 bbl/day).  No particulate or SO  tests were possible at this location
                                       X
because of port size.
        Combustion Modifications, Process Heaters, Location 5—
        Location 5 combustion modification tests consisted of process rate
variations and air register adjustments for both heaters.  Following the
baseline tests, the process rate was varied from 1590 m /day (10,000 bbl/day}
to 2,225 m /day (14,000 bbl/day).  Following the heater load'variation tests,
a series of tests was conducted in which burner adjustments were made to
evaluate the influence on emissions.  These tests were conducted at a process
rate of 1908 m /day  (12,000 bbl/day), the normal rate.  The results of all
load changes and burner adjustment tests are presented in Table 4-5 for both
heaters.  Fuel gas samples were taken during the test series and analyzed for
composition and heating value.
        The effect of process rate on NO  emissions for heater Mo. 1 is shown
                                        X
in Figure 4-4.  The NO  emissions from heater No. 1 dropped from 54.3 ng/J
                      X,
 (106 ppm) at 1,590 m3/day (10,000 bbl/day) to 42.3 ng/J  (83 ppm) at 2,226
m /day  (14,000 bbl/day).  The 0_ level varied from 5.4% at 1,590 m /day
 (10,000 bbl/day)  to 3.4% at 2,226 m /day  (14,000 bbl/day) with the same burner
pattern and air register setting.  These tests were conducted with six of the
16 burners in service.  A constant O_ level over the load range was not
possible.  The unit has steam generating provisions in the convection section
of the heater and the O~ level is maintained at a high level at low fire
conditions to maintain the steam flow rate.  The same effect of process rate
on NO  emissions is shown in Figure 4-5 for heater No. 2.
     x                         ^
        Tests on heater No. 1 were also conducted at a constant process rate
with varying O  levels due to burner air register adjustment.  The effect of
excess 0  on NO  for heater No.  1 is shown in Figure 4-6.  The burner patterns
        &.      A
are shown in Figure 4-7.  The first burner adjustment (Test No. 5/1-4B) con-
sisted of opening the air registers on the burners out of service (BOOS) and
closing the air registers on the burners in service (Nos. 2, 4, 6, 9, 13 and
15).  The NO  decreased to 41.0 ng/J (80 ppm) but the 0_ increased to 10.0%.

The second adjustment was the partial closing of the air registers of the
BOOS.  This adjustment lowered the 0? to 8.9% with a slight reduction in the
NO  to 38.9 ng/J (76 ppm).  The final burner adjustment1was closing the BOOS
air registers and increasing the number of operating burners to eight (1, 4,
6, 7, 9, 10, 13, and 16).  The O  was lowered to 5.5% but the NO  showed an

increase of 33% to 66 ng/J (129 ppm) compared with baseline emissions.
        A similar test series was conducted on heater No. 2, which has only
10 burners  (four of which were operating in the "as-found" condition).  The
NO  emissions from heater No. 2 showed little or no dependence on excess O_

as shown in Figure 4-8, although the range of O7 was quite limited.
        All tests at all conditions showed insignificant levels of HC, CO,
and SO_ emissions.   These levels were unaffected by changes in operating
parameters.
4.1.3   Process Heaters, Location7
        Equipment Characteristics—
        Location 7 tests were conducted on two petroleum process heaters.
The first unit tested  (No. 7/1) was a vertically fired natural draft recycle
gas heater manufactured in 1967.  It was designed to fire refinery gas and
was installed as part of a hydrocarbon cracking unit.  The furnace is rated
                   £
at 15.5 MW  (52.8x10  Btu/hr)  absorbed with 16 burners equally spaced along
the floor.  Combustion air is normally controlled through individual air
registers on each burner.  Furnace draft is controlled with a manual damper
in the stack.  A sample probe was installed in the stack before the damper
using an existing sample port.  Location of the sample port was as previously
shown schematically in Figure 4-1.
        Heater No.  7/2 was a vertically fired natural draft process heater
manufactured in 1970 as part of a reformer unit.  The heater was rated at
11 MW (37.6x10  Btu/hr) and was fired by 12 burners located on the centerline
of the heater floor.  Furnace draft was controlled manually with a damper in
the stack.  Combustion air to the burners is adjusted with louvres located at
one side of the air plenum.
        Fuel gas analyses were obtained for each day of testing.  Table 4-6
summarizes the fuel gas analyses at location 7.

        Baseline Emissions, Process Heaters,  Location 7—
        The purpose of the process heater tests at Location 7 was to evaluate
the effect of excess air on emissions and efficiency and to determine whether
off-stoichiometric firing could be effected in a natural draft process heater.
Baseline test measurements on heater No. 7/1 show the NO  emissions to be
                                                        X
51.6 ng/J (103 ppm) with the heater operating at 7,8% 0_.  The baseline NO
                                                       ^                  X
emission for heater No. 7/2 was 49.1 ng/J (98 ppm) with the unit operating at
8.5% 0_.  The O_ analyzers installed in both units were far out of calibration
and were indicating 4% to 5% higher O  than actual.  Opacity readings were
made on both units; no visible smoke was observed.
        Combustion Modifications, Process Heaters, Location 7—
        Location 7 combustion modification testing at heater No. 7/1 consisted
of air register adjustments to lower excess air and various burners out of
service to attempt staged combustion.  All burner air registers were highly
corroded and very little adjustment was possible.  The O_ was lowered to 6.6%
with a slight decrease in NO  to 48.1 ng/J (96 ppm).  Due to operational
                            X
limitations, only three burners were able to be taken out .of service.  Various
combinations of three burners were taken out of service with no appreciable
effect on NO  emissions.
            x
        Combustion modifications to heater 7/2 consisted of trying to lower
excess air and various burner patterns.  Adjusting the air registers resulted
in a decrease in NO  of up to 12 ng/J  (24 ppm} or a 25% reduction.  Only two
                   2C                         *
burners were able to be removed from service and two combinations were tried.
No significant change in emissions were measured by taking burners out of
service.
        A summary of gaseous emissions data from the Location 7 refinery
heaters is presented in Table 4-7.

4.1.4   Thermal Efficiency of Natural, Draft Process Heaters
        Calculations of heater efficiency were made utilizing a KVB computer
program.  The efficiency is calculated by the heat loss method as outlined in '
ASME Power Test Code PTC—4.1.  The fuel gas analyses obtained for each test
were used for input data.  The flue gas measurements and stack temperature
measurements were used to calculate the stack losses.  Radiation losses were
estimated using the ABMA Standard Radiation Loss Chart which is included in
PTC-4.1.
        The efficiencies of the natural draft process heaters tested were
significantly lower than boiler efficiencies since none of the heaters had air
preheaters.  This is typical of the petroleum industry although there is a
trend to include air preheat in new units.  However, this also requires con-
version to forced draft.  Process heater efficiencies are summarized in
Table 4-8.  Efficiency is basically a function of excess air.  Combustion
modifications resulted in efficiency variations of about 2% up or down depen-
dent on the change in % O .  In one case, test 5/1-48, air register adjust-
ment resulted in a 4% decrease in efficiency.
4.1.5   Conclusions, Natural Draft Process Heaters
        Five natural draft process heaters were tested to evaluate the effect
of fuel composition, excess air, two-stage firing, and load on emissions and
efficiency.  Air preheat was not used on any of the units.
        The effect of fuel gas higher heating value on NO  emissions was
minor.  There was approximately a 6% increase in NO  when the heating value
                                                   5C
was increased 10% by propane addition.  Firing oil for supplying approximately
45% of the input increased the NO  emissions by 95%.
        The effect of lowering excess air on NO  emissions was difficult to
                                               X
evaluate because the process heaters are limited, by the process, in the
amount of air adjustment.  In two cases the equipment was in such poor con-
dition  that it was  impossible to make adjustments to the air registers.  On
some heaters air register adjustments resulted  in NO  reductions of  7% to
28%, while in one case NO  increased  (compared with baseline levels).   ,

        Process rate or load showed a fairly pronounced effect on NO  emis-
                                                                    X
sions but the 0_ varied as load changed and it is believed that the  O  change
was the predominant effect.  However, the NO  shows a decrease of 22% as load
was increased 28% with one heater while another heater exhibited a 40%
decrease in NO  over the same load change.
              x
        An attempt was made on each heater to achieve two-stage combustion by
varying the burner pattern—taking burners out of service.  All the heaters
tested had the burners in line on the furnace floor firing vertically upward.
Very little mixing between burners is accomplished with this type of arrange-
ment and the laminar type flame.  Another consideration in taking burners out
of service is to not disrupt the temperature distribution in the firebox with
cold spots or flame impingement.  In most cases, little measurable change in
NO  emissions was accomplished by taking burners out of service on any heater
  X
tested.  In only one test, 7/2, was there any significant reduction—20% of
original baseline NO  .  However, recheck of baseline conditions also
                    3C
gave lower emissions indicating negligible influence of the modification.
4.1.6   ProcessHeaters, Location 12, Unit 1
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The process heater tested at Location 12, Unit 1 was a forced draft
heater with air preheat.  The unit, shown schematically in Figure 4-9, was
built in 1973 to heat charge stock for desulfurization prior to catalytic
cracking.  The rated capacity of the unit was 3291 m /day (20.7x10  bbl/day)
of charge stock and the unit was operating at 100% capacity during the test
period.  Heater specification data are presented in the following table.

-------
        A single burner supplied the fuel to the heater and was designed to
fire either gas or Ho. 6 oil.  Combustion air was preheated with a Ljungstrom
air heater.  Probes were installed in three ports in the convection section
of the heater.
        Baseline Emissions, Process Heater, Location 12/1—
        Baseline emissions were measured firing both refinery gas and No. 6
oil.  The NO  emissions were 163 ng/J (320 ppiu) with the unit firing refinery
            
gas with 1.85% excess Q  in the flue gas.  Baseline NO  emissions for the unit
                       &                              X,
when firing No. 6 oil were 113 ng/J (222 ppm) with the unit at 3.3% excess O
in the flue gas.  Particulate emissions were not measured in this unit due to
the excessively high temperature in the convection section where sampling was
being performed.  Gas temperature at the sample point was approximately 1033 K
(1400 °F) which precluded particulate sampling due to probable probe failure.
Stack opacity and smoke were both zero for all tests.  An attempt was made to
measure SO  emissions at this point but the pyrex probe melted and collapsed
          X
preventing the drawing of a sample.  Table 4-9 presents a summary of the
emissions data measured for this unit.
        The analysis of the fuel burned during the tests at Location 12
is presented in Table 4-10.
        Combustion Modifications, Process Heater, Location 12/1—
        Combustion modification testing consisted of varying the excess air
level.  The excess air was changed by changing the inlet dampers on the com-
bustion air fan.  The effect of excess 0_ on NO  emissions is shown in
                                        2      x
Figure 4-10.  Excess O  in the flue gas varied from 1.3% to 3.1% for refinery
gas firing.  The data show an increase in NO  of about 20.4 ng/J  (40 ppm)
per % O  increase for refinery gas.  For No. 6 oil firing, the O  varied from
1.5% to 3.3% and little if any variation in NO  was measured.  Little NO
                                              X                         X
reduction was possible since this unit was normally operated at low O .

        Efficiency, Process Heater, Location 12/1—
        The efficiency of the unit with air preheat averaged 86.4% firing
refinery gas and 89,6% firing No. 6 oil.  Variation in excess oxygen caused
a change in efficiency of 0.6% — from 89.2% at 3.3% 0  to 89.8% at 1.5% O .
When firing refinery gas, the efficiency varied from a low of 86.2% at 2.8%
0  to a high of 86.7% at 2.2% 0 .
4.1.7   Process Heater, Location 12, Unit 2
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The petroleum process heater tested at Location 12, Unit 2 was a
forced draft dehexanizer reboiler without combustion air preheat.  The heater
was rated at 7362 m /day (46,313 bbI/day).  The unit was operating at
approximately 45% of capacity during the test period.  The single burner,
capable of firing both gas and No. 6 oil fuel, was rated at 13.6 MW  (46.5x10
Btu/hr) firing No. 6 oil with a LHV of 40,500 kJ/kg  (17,400 Btu/hr).  Sample
probes were installed in the stack above the convection section.  & schematic
of heater showing the relative location of the sample port is shown in
Figure 4-11.
        Baseline Emissions--
        Baseline NO  emissions for the non-preheated process heater  (Unit 12/2)
                   3C
were measured in the stack above the convection section.  Emissions were mea-
sured with the unit firing both refinery gas and No. 6 oil.  Baseline NO
                                                                        3C
emissions were 109 ng/J  (214 ppm) with the unit firing refinery gas and the
excess oxygen at 4.3%,  When firing No. 6 oil '(62% heat input) and gas, the
baseline NO  emissions were 97 ng/J  (172 ppm) at 4.3% O0.  Both baseline
           X                                           £*
                                                                  ."
measurements were made with the unit in the  "as-found" condition with the
burner set by the operator.  Baseline particulate measurements were made
with the unit firing No. 6 oil and gas.  Total particulate was 38.06 ng/J
 (0.088 lb/106 Btu).  Solid particulate was 34.38 ng/J  (0.080 Ib/lQ6 Btu)
with 10% opacity.
        The emissions measured from the process heater are summarized in
Table  4-11.  When operating with No. 6 oil alone, smoking occurred.  Opera-
tors required partial gas firing to maintain a clear stack  (zero opacity).
Operators would not allow sufficient time when smoking to record opacity.

        Combustion Modifications, Process Heater, Location 12/2—
        Combustion modifications to this unit were limited to varying the
excess air.  The furnace excess air level was changed by adjusting the inlet
dampers on the combustion air fan.  The effect of excess O  variation on NO
                                                          £                X
emissions is shown in Figure 4-12 for both refinery gas and No. 6 oil fuels.
Excess oxygen varied from 2.2% to 4.9% for refinery gas and from 3.8% to 5.0%
for No. 6 oil.  NO  emissions increased 20 ppm/% 0  increase for refinery gas
and 12 ppm/% O_ increase for No. 6 oil.  A 67% reduction in NO  from the
              &                                               X
baseline level was obtained while firing refinery gas.   Little change was
observed while firing No. 6 oil.
        Efficiency, Process Heater, Location 12/2—
        The unit averaged 79.5% efficiency on refinery gas and 81.0% on No. 6
oil.  The efficiency varied from a low value of 80.4% at 5% O_ to a high of
81.6% at 3.8% 0« when firing No. 6 oil.  Refinery gas firing showed an increase
in efficiency of 1% over the range of excess oxygen.  The lowest efficiency
measured was 79.0% at 4.8% O_ and the highest measured efficiency was 80.0%
at 3.1% 0 .
        Trace Species and Organics Test, Location 12/2—
        Two trace species and organic tests were conducted on the petroleum
process heater at Location 12/2.  Sampling and analytical procedures are
described in Appendix C.  The unit was firing refinery gas,- Table 4-12 shows
the sampling conditions.  This unit also fires No. 6 oil which would be
expected to have higher trace species and organic emissions.  However, the
tests were run with refinery gas because most of the fuel burned in process
heaters in the U.S. is refinery gas.  Samples of the refinery gas were taken
for trace species and organic analysis for use in establishing mass balances.
However, analysis by either atomic absorption (AA) or spark source mass
spectrometry  (SSMS) requires that samples be in either liquid or solid form.
Procedures could not be developed for reducing the gas fuel or any trace
components therein to a form suitable for analysis.  As shown in the previous
table, no solid particulates were collected in the SASS train cyclones; all
material was in the gaseous phase.

         Table  4-13  shows  the  total emission  concentrations  determined by AA
 analysis for the  species  of primary  interest for  two duplicate  test  runs in
 the heater stack.   Additional data tabulations  are  contained  in Appendix F.
 Species  that were present above  the  detection limits include  cadmium, calcium,
 chromium,  cobalt, copper,  iron,  lead,  manganese,  nickel,  titanium, vanadium,
 zinc,  chloride, fluoride,  nitrates,  sulfates, and POM.  All other  species
 including PCB  were  not detected.  The  source of these emissions is believed
 to be  erosion  of  material deposited  during operation of the unit on  oil fuel.

         In general, the same  elements  detected  in the first test (12/2-3)
 were also detected  in  the second test  (12/2-6).   Exceptions were cobalt
 (detected in the  first test,  undetected in the  second)  barium,  lead,  and
 vanadium (all  three undetected in the  first  test, detected  in the  second).
         Comparing the  AA  results for the two tests  as duplicate runs, the
 emission concentrations (Ug/a )  are  within a factor of  about  three with two
                                                                          3
 notable  exceptions. Cadmium  emission   for the  first test was 74,000 pg/m
 compared with  7.7 toll ug/m   for the second  test.   Conversely,  calcium emis-
.sion was much  lower on the first test, 5 ug/m , compared  with 280,000 pg/m
 for the  second test.  Duplicate  analyses performed  indicated  that  these
 differences were  not due  to the  precision of analytical methods.  Differences
 between  the tests may  be  due  to  possible intermittent flaking of materials
 deposited during  oil firing.
         Total  POM concentration  was  above the detection limit only for
 test 12/2-6.  Appendix F  presents results of a  detailed analysis by  gas
 chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to  identify specific POM  compounds.
 The compounds  detected were anthracene, methyl  anthracenes, fluoranthene,
 pyrene,  and chrysene.   The majority  of the POM was  collected  in the  SASS
 train organic  module.

4.2     MINERAL KILNS
        Three mineral kilns were tested at Locations 1, 3, and 9 during this
program.  The following sections describe the equipment characteristics,
emissions measurement results, and conclusions,
4.2.1   Ceramic Kiln, Location 1
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The kiln tested at Location 1 was a linear ceramic tunnel kiln erected
in 1954.  The kiln has a capacity for 46 product cars, each 3.0 m (10 ft) long.
The kiln is used for firing clay tile pipe and other clay tils products.  The
unfired product is placed on a car which is slowly moved on a metal track
through the kiln.  The kiln consists of three zones—a preheat zone, main
firing zone, and cooling zone as shown schematically in Figure 4-13.  Tempera-
ture-time profile is the primary constraint in the process.  The temperature
must steadily increase at a predetermined rate in the preheat zone and the
temperature in the main firing zone must be controlled within 3 K (5 °F).
Heat to the preheat zone is supplied from the cooling zone by means of fans
and exterior ducts.  Some of the hot gas from the cooling zone is also directed
                   j> •
to drying rooms where wet product is dried prior to entry into the kiln.
        The kiln is heated with combination natural gas-oil burners located
along the side of the kiln.  The kiln had 34 burners per side.  Normal
operation is with natural gas; oil is used only when natural gas supplies
are curtailed.  Combustion air is supplied to the burners by forced draft
fans.  The rated heat input was 9.4 MW  (32x10  Btu/hr) and tests were conducted
at 79% load.
        The process control data collected for the tunnel kiln tests at
Location 1 consisted of temperature profile data, fuel flow rate, and process
rate.  In addition to the normal instrumentation, a water cooled probe was
used to measure the 0_ concentration at each burner along the main firing
zone.

        Baseline Emissions1—
        Baseline emissions data were taken at the tunnel kiln at a process
rate of 16 cars per day.  The sampling location was in the stack upstream
from the louvres which control furnace pressure.  The baseline NO  emission
level was 46.2 ng/J (90 ppm) with the measured stack O_ at 17%.  Particulate
emissions were 12.5 ng/J (0.029 lb/10  Btu) when firing natural gas.  All data
from the tunnel kiln tests are tabulated in Table 4-14.  The composition of
natural gas fuel burned is given in Table 4-15.  Only baseline testing was
conducted at this test location; planned combustion modifications were not
performed due to the likelihood of upsetting process temperatures.
        The burners were sampled individually, at the tunnel kiln, using a
water-cooled probe, to determine the excess 0  profile.  Table 4-16 presents
the data taken while sampling the gas burner ports.  Burners 1 through 4,
closest to the preheat zone, were out of service.  The next five burners, 5
through 9, were burning at very reduced input.  The excess oxygen at these
burners was considerably higher than the burners which were operating at full
capacity.  Eight burners were not sampled because they are near the top of
the kiln wall and were not accessible. ( The"average 0? with all burners was
7,0% and 7.8% for the two tests, 'if the burners which were not at rated
capacity are not included, the average 0_ was 4.5% and 6.0%.  A request was
made to reduce the air to burners which had high O_ readings.  The request
could not be accepted because the excess air is necessary to prevent the
burner tips from burning and to maintain process temperature.
        The high degree of sensitivity of product quality to the combustion
process represents a major limitation on the feasibility of modifications in
mineral processing equipment.
        An overall efficiency for the tunnel kiln was attempted but not
completed due to the complexity of the process.  Several flow paths were
used for the extensive heat recovery system.  Stack gas losses were calculated
based on the flue gas composition and temperature.  The stack gas loss  (total
of dry flue gas plus moisture in air plus moisture in flue gas due to com-
bustion of hydrogen in the fuel) was calculated to be 14.6% of the fuel input.
Stack gas temperature was measured at330K(134°P).

-------
        Little in the way of combustion modification is possible with the
tunnel kiln due to process constraints.  The kiln tested achieved very high
efficiency by making extensive use of heat recovery techniques for cooling
the fired product and drying and preheating the incoming product.  The only
heat loss which appeared to be amenable to reduction was radiation loss from
the sidewalls and roof.
                                      74

4.2.2   Rotary Cement Kiln,  Location 3
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The test unit at location 3 was a rotary cement kiln fueled with
a combination of coke and natural gas with a rated heat input of 70.3 MW
(240 x 10  Btu/hr).   The dry-process kiln is shown schematically in Figure
4-14.  The feed enters in the form of a finely divided powder, flowing
from a feed silo.  Homogenization equipment is used to assure uniformity
of raw feed composition.  A dust return system is used in conjunction with
the feed system.  The feed encounters a chain system in the feed end of
the kiln to aid in heat exchange.  After the chain section, the feed under-
goes preheating, calcining,  additional heating, and clinker formation stages.
        Particulate from the process stream was removed with a multi-
clone separator at the kiln exit and a baghouse downstream of the
multiclone.  An induced draft fan at the stack provided motive power
for the combustion air and baghouse tempering air.  Combustion air
was preheated by passing through the clinker grate which cooled the
clinker.
        Existing sample ports were located at the kiln exit and in
the duct between the kiln and the baghouse.  Particulate mass, par-
ticulate size distribution,  and gaseous emissions data were measured
in the duct between the multiclone and the baghouse.  Gaseous emissions
data only were taken at the kiln exit.
        A complete set of control room data included process rate,
fuel flow, temperatures of the material, exit gases, incoming air,
etc.  The particulate loading was so high at the kiln that the standard
pitot probe plugged within 15 to 20 seconds of insertion, making a
velocity traverse impossible.  A pitot with larger nozzles was borrowed
to make the velocity traverse.  The probe for measuring gaseous emissions
had a sintered stainless steel filter on the end with a metal shield
around it as shown in Figure 4-15.

This kiln had been previously tested by KVB when operatine entirely on natural

oil compared with gas.  The purpose of the current test was to evaluate the
effect of solid fuel on NO  as compared with the prior data.

        Baseline Emissions—

        Baseline testing at the rotary cement kiln was conducted at a process

rate of 43,000 kg/hr  (47 tons/hr) of clinker.  The measured NO  emissions
                                                              X
were 709 ng/J (1041 ppm) at a measured 0  concentration of 2%.  Both total
particulate and particulate size distribution were taken with the kiln at

baseline conditions.  Table 4-18 summarizes the emissions data taken.  The

table also shows data previously acquired on this same kiln (Ref. 5) for
                                      77

natural gas operation and oil operation.   Operation with fuel oil produced
NO  emissions about one-half that produced with gas.  The current test indicates
  X
that combined coke and natural gas operation produces NO  emissions that are
                                                        X

kilns to solid fuel operation should result in significant reductions of NO .
                                                                           X
        One test was conducted using the  Brink cascade impactor with the kiln
operating at baseline conditions.  The impactor was inserted into the duct
between the multiclone separator and baghouse as with the total particulate
sampling train.  The results of this test are presented in Figure 4-16 where
particle diameter as a function of cumulative proportion of impactor catch is
plotted.  Approximately 15% of the particulate is below 3 Um.  A visual
opacity reading taken during the particulate testing showed that the stack
was completely clear.  The baghouse for the kiln is very large and apparently
very efficient.
        Efficiency, Cement Kiln, Location 3—
        Efficiency of the rotary cement kiln is conventionally expressed in
terms of heat input per unit mass of clinker.  The rotary kiln at Location 3
under baseline conditions was operating at a heat input of 60 MW (206x10
Btu/hr); the process efficiency was 5093  kJ/kg (4.38x10  Btu/ton) of clinker.
This is below the national average of about 5230 kJ/kg (4.7x10  Btu/ton) of
clinker (Ref. 6).

        The test unit was a 137 m (450 ft) long by 3.67 m (12 ft) diameter
wet process rotary kiln rated at 9.44 kg/s (900 tons/day).  In a wet process
kiln, the feed enters the kiln in the form of a slurry, having a moisture
content of approximately 30%.  The wet process is preferred over the dry
type when the feed naturally exceeds about 18% moisture, but it is less
efficient because of heat required to vaporize the water.  A heat exchanger
in the form of a chain section is used to remove this moisture from the
slurry.  Figure 4-17 shows a schematic of the rotary kiln.

        Emissions Sampling, Location 9—
        The kiln is equipped with an electrostatic precipitator.  However, all
sampling was conducted at the kiln exit upstream of the precipitator.
        The kiln was firing natural gas at a rate of 59 MW (200x10  Btu/hr)
during the test period.  An analysis of the natural gas is presented in
Table 4-19,  Analysis was by the gas chromatographic method.

        Baseline Tests, Location 9—
        The test series consisted of baseline measurement of particulate,
particulate size and gaseous emissions followed by a series where the combus-
tion air temperature was varied.  An additional total particulate test and
cascade impactor test were then conducted.  Baseline gaseous emissions were
conducted with the rotary kiln in the "as-found" condition.  NO  emissions
                                                               X
were 1408 ng/J (2400 ppm) corrected to 3% O , dry basis, with the unit
operating at 6.1% O .  Carbon monoxide which measured 30 ppm at baseline
condition varied from 28 to 43 ppm for all conditions and HC emissions varied
                                      82

-------
from 11 to 24 ppm with the baseline measurement being 24 ppm.  The initial
particulate measurement was  9805  ng/J (22.8 lb/10  Btu) but calculations
showed sampling conditions to be 148% of isokinetic.  This was the result of
a very high and variable moisture content of about 45%.  A subsequent test
was conducted at low NO  conditions for which the sampling conditions were
                       X
122% of isokinetic.  The particulate emissions for this test were 9000 ng/J
(21 lb/10  Btu).  The results of emission measurements for all Location 9
tests are summarized in Table 4-20.  Particulate size distributions were
determined using a Brink cascade impactor which aerodynamically separates
particle sizes.  Two tests with the cascade impactor were made and the results
presented in Figures 4-18 and 4-19- where particle size as a function of
cumulative percentage smaller than a given diameter is plotted.  These data
show that 17 to 25% of the particulates entering the cement kiln precipitator
are smaller than 3 pm diameter.  Because of the extremely high particulate
loadings, test durations were only eight minutes and four minutes before the
cascade impactor plugged and flow stopped.
        Combustion Modifications—
        Process constraints in the wet process rotary kiln limited the combus-
tion modifications testing.  Combustion air temperature was varied in an effort
to evaluate the influence on NO  emissions.  Unfortunately, combustion air
                               X
temperature, kiln temperature, and exit gas 0  concentration cannot be varied
independently and maintain product integrity.  The effect of combustion air
temperature on NO emissions is shown in Figure 4-20.  As combustion air tempera-
ture increases, NO emissions increase for nearly constant O  concentration.
The points which do not follow this trend are tests in which the 0_ was
lower than normal or kiln temperature was much lower than' normal.  The effect
of kiln temperature is shown in Figure 4-21 which shows increasing NO emis-
sions with increasing kiln temperature.
        These data indicate that at a given kiln operating temperature—
approximately 1755 K (2700 °F)—a reduction in NO emissions of 160 ng/J
(314 ppm) or 14%, was realized by reducing excess 0  and increasing combustion
air temperature to maintain kiln temperature.

        Cement Kiln Trace Species Test, Location 9—
        Trace species and organics tests were conducted on the natural gas
fueled rotary cement kiln at Location 9.  The slurry feed to the kiln under-
goes moisture evaporation, heating, calcining, burning, and cooling as it
flows countercurrent to the combustion products, finally emerging as a clinker.
During the calcining process, a portion of the dry feed (approximately 36%
by weight) is converted to CO  gas which exits the kiln along with the combus-
tion products and evaporated moisture.
        The kiln tested was fitted with an electrostatic precipitator.  Sample
ports were located upstream of the ESP and between the ID fan and stack, as
shown in Figure 4-22.  Samples of the feed slurry, clinker and precipitator
catch were collected during each test.
        Manual operation of this particular device is characterized by
moderate fluctuations in most process variables of interest, e.g., kiln dis-
charge temperature, combustion air temperature  (a function of kiln discharge
temperature and production rate), and natural gas usage.  Thus, long time
periods of relatively constant kiln operation are not possible.  SASS train
tests were.not performed during periods of obvious kiln upset, however, tests
were conducted during periods of normal fluctuations.
        In the following discussion, mention will be made of several process
variables - kiln discharge temperature, combustion air temperature, natural
gas rate, and control room excess oxygen.  An explanation of these variables
as to their meaning and point of measurements is in order.
        Kiln Discharge Temperature - This measurement is taken from the
        product side of the kiln refractories by a single color pyro-
        meter in the burning zone, approximately 9.2-18.4 m (30-60 ft)
        prior to the kiln discharge and reflects, to some extent, the
        temperature of the clinker just prior to dumping on the cooler
        grate.  Clinker discharge is normally between 1533 and 1644 K
         (2300-2500 °F).
        Combustion Air Temperature^ - The main combustion air is pre-
        heated by passing it through the hot clinker.  The air preheat
        level, therefore, increases with increasing clinker temperature
        and vice versa.
                                      89

Figure  4-22. Rotary cement kiln - sample port  locations, location 9.
                                      90

-------
        Natural Gas Rate - Strip charts on the main gas line to the
        facility measure the total natural gas demand.  Aside from
        several space heaters, this demand represents the natural gas
        flow to the kiln.  (These space heaters were not in service
        during the test period.)  The natural gas flow is manually
        set by the operator based primarily on his visual observation
        of clinker brightness and quality (e.g., size, adherence to
        the kiln wall, etc.)  in the burning zone.  As such, the
        operator is manually compensating for changes in feed rate,
        feed moisture content, etc.
        Table 4-21 presents the trace specie sample train data and process
weights.  The following sections discuss each test.  The total particulate
weight for Tests 9-3 and 9-4 (upstream) of 7307 and 5548 ng/J, respectively,
are somewhat lower than the Method 5 result of 9000-9800 ng/J.
        Precipitator Inlet Test Conditions—
        Test 9-3 was to be terminated when two filters had been plugged.
After 75 minutes elapsed time, the vacuum pump inlet pressure limit, 76 kPa
(22.5 in, HgVac) had been reached.  An examination of the 1 \m cyclone cup
revealed that it, and not the filter, had plugged the system.  The test was
terminated based on this condition.  The largest nozzle size available
(19.1 mm, 3/4 inch) was not large enough to produce the nominal cyclone flow
rate due to the relatively low gas velocity.
        Control room data for this test are shown in Figure 4-23 and indicate
a 2.9% increase in kiln discharge temperature over the test period  (75 min.).
Combustion air preheat is accomplished by passing the air through the hot
clinker discharged from the kiln.  Thus, combustion air temperature entering
the kiln will increase as the clinker temperature increases, and vice versa.
This is borne out by the observed 2.1% increase in combustion air
temperature.
        Test 9-4, a repeat of Test 9-3, was also terminated at 75 minutes
elapsed time by a plugged 1 urn cyclone.  The gas moisture content for this
test was significantly higher than the previous day's test  (44.7% versus
34.3%).  This effect caused a more marked departure from isokinetic sampling
(118.3% versus 96.8%).

                                   93

-------
        Relatively stable kiln operating conditions were observed during this
test as shown in Figure 4-24.  Kiln discharge temperature and combustion air
temperature increased by 9.7% and 9.3%, respectively, while natural gas usage
rate decreased by 4.7% as the operator attempted to maintain clinker quality.
        Precipitator Outlet Test Conditions—
        Outlet SASS Test 9-5 ran for a full five hours and used only one
filter.  The 9.53 mm (3/8 in.) nozzle used was somewhat undersize, as the
cyclone flow rate was only 77% of the desired value.
        Control room data for this test are shown in Figure 4-25.  Kiln dis-
charge temperature first decreased by 8.2%, then increased by 13.8% before
reaching a steady value during the last 3.3 hours of the test.  Combustion
air temperature followed the variations in kiln discharge temperature.  Varia-
tions in natural gas rate were, for the most part, opposite in sense to the
kiln discharge temperature as the operator attempted to maintain appropriate
clinker conditions.  That is, as the clinker brightness increases  (increase
in burning temperature) above some subjective value, then the operator will
                                *
decrease the natural gas rate to reduce the brightness.
        Test 9-6 was to be a repeat of Test 9-5, i.e., five-hour sampl-
ing time.  Kiln conditions, as  shown in Figure 4-26, were more variable
than the previous test.  It appears that the manual setting of natural gas
rate overcompensated for clinker "brightness" changes, for the kiln discharge
temperature went through a. relatively large amplitude  (330 K, 549  °F) cycle.
(Several consecutive cycles of this type had been observed on other
occasions.)
        In summary, device operating conditions encountered during the SASS
train tests were normal for this particular kiln.
        Cement Kiln Process Mass Balance—
        The kiln feed consists of a dry solid-water slurry of variable  (but
measured) moisture content.  Within the calcining zone approximately 36%  (by
weight) of the dry solids are converted to carbon dioxide gas, which exits
the kiln along with the normal combustion products and evaporated  water.  The
                                      94

             1900_

clinker {remaining solid material)  exits the kiln at the discharge end.  The
electrostatic precipitator catch represents the remaining element in the
system mass balance.
        The following measurements  are made:
        1.  The volume of slurry used is measured daily.
        2.  A slurry sample is- taken daily to determine the moisture
            content.  The dry sample is then burned to verify the
           • 36% solid conversion to CO_.
        3.  Three times daily the ESP catch volume is measured as
           •well as the catch density.
        A precalculated chart is used to determine daily clinker production
as a function of slurry moisture content and slurry volume used.  This chart
includes the solid conversion to C0_ but does not include the ESP catch.
        Table 4-22 shows the emission concentrations measured with the SASS
for the four tests.  Every specie was detected, in at least one of the tests,
except for tellurium and PCB.. Barium was not detected at the kiln exit but
was detected at the ESP outlet.  Mercury and tin were detected at the kiln
exit but not the ESP outlet.  Comparing duplicate tests, 9-3 versus 9-4,
and 9-5 versus 9-6, most detectable specie concentrations are within a
factor of two to three.  As expected, concentrations for the precipitator
outlet are less than at the kiln exit.
        Average flow and emission rates, mass balances, and ESP efficiency
are given in Table 4-23.  Separate  mass balances for the kiln, ESP, and
overall are given.• Mass balances were within +_ 20 for beryllium, calcium,
cobalt, copper, iron, nickel, vanadium, zinc, chloride, and fluoride.  Mass
balances were low for arsenic and titanium but were high for cadmium, chromium,
manganese, and nitrates.  Mass balances could not be obtained for antimony,
barium, lead, mercury, selenium, tellurium, and tin.
        The precipitator collection efficiency varied from 82%  (chromium) to
over 99%  for several species.

Soe notes on Table f-1 for explanation of table-

-------
        Data on the distribution of species by particle size is given in
Appendix F, Tables F-2, F-8, F-ll, and F-14.
        Twelve POM compounds were detected at the -ESP outlet, Test 9-6.
Table F-20, Appendix F, shows that anthracene and fluoranthene were largest
in concentration and the amounts of these two were unchanged in passing
through the ESP (Tests 9-3 vs. 9-6).  Methyl anthracenes, pyrene, and chrysene
were also detected at both locations and were relatively unchanged by the
ESP.  The remaining several compounds (Table F-2) were detected at the ESP
outlet (5 hour sample) but undetected at the kiln exit (75 minute sample).

4.3     METAL PROCESSING FURNACES
4.3.1   Open Hearth Furnace, Location 14
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The open hearth furnace at Location 14 is a balanced draft unit with
the furnace being slightly positive.  The furnace incorporates eight burners -
six in the roof and one on each end.  The furnace is rated at approximately
57 MW (195x10  Btu/hr)  and the average process rate is approximately 3.04x10
kg per heat (335 ton per heat) and the average cycle time per heat is 7 hours.
The charge for normal operation is 30% hot metal and 70% scrap metal.  Roof
burners fire only natural gas and end burners normally fire 60% natural gas
and 40% No. 6 oil.  A schematic of the open hearth furnace is shown in Figure
4-27.  Table 4-24 gives the analysis of the No. 6 fuel oil.

        Emissions Sampling—
        Gaseous emissions measurements were made in the flue gas duct between
the waste heat recovery boiler and the electrostatic precipitator, sample
point A in the schematic.  This sample point was also used to conduct total
particulate measurement, cascade impactor tests and trace species and organics
tests.  Measurements of furnace oxygen were made at sample points B and C
shown in the schematic.
        During testing  the average process rate was 340 Mg per heat  (.376
tons per heat) and  the  average heat input was 30.3 MW  (103 x 1Q6 Btu/hr).
        Baseline  Tests—
        Gaseous emission measurements  were taken at 30-minute intervals through-
out three entire 6 1/2 hour cycles.   The first cycle tested was a baseline test.
The second cycle  was also a baseline  test conducted four months after the
first test.   The  third cycle test was  conducted immediately after the second
and involved reduction of excess  air.
        The emissions data for this  test unit are presented in graphical form
as a function of time, rather than in the tabular form used for the test data
reported on other equipment.   Because of the rapidly fluctuating nature of the
process, tabular data are not meaningful and could be misinterpreted.
        Emissions of SO  fluctuated from 53 to 129 ppm (corrected to 3% 0_,

 all charging doors were open)is 0.7089.  While NO is a. strong function of 0
 level,  the  linear correlation is not particularly good indicating that there
 are other significant variables or that there is a fairly high uncertainty in
 02 measurement due to duct stratifications, dilution or process fluctuations.
        The relation between NO and O  indicates NO drops to near zero at about
 10% O  .  The 0  readings were taken downstream of the air preheat checkers
 in which there is a large amount of air leakage and 02 measurements are not
 representative of furnace exit 0 .  The NO data indicate that for a measured
 02 of  about 10%, the furnace 0_ is close to zero.  The same trends previously
noted are evident in these curves  and the linear regression is  nearly  the same.
If all data points are combined into a single scatter diagram and the  least
squares curve calculated,  the slope is 546.9 ppm NO per % 0  with a  correlation
coefficient of 0.701 indicating a  weak but significant correlation.   Reduction
of excess air had been planned to  follow the first baseline test.  However,
the open hearth process proved to  have a wide variation in excess air because
constant changes in fuel flow are  made to control steel temperature.  Several
discussions were held with the plant operators before and during the test to
examine possible means of excess air limitation.  The operators insisted that
they need complete flexibility to  make rapid changes to control steel tempera-
ture and any restriction on control might cause a loss of product.  It was
therefore not possible to impose any restraints during the first test period
to attempt  to limit peak NOx conditions.
        The results of the tests were later discussed with the  operators,
concentrating on the points during the cycle when NOx peaks, to more specifi-
cally define the reasons for occurrence of high excess air.  The fact that NO
varied so strongly with excess air indicated the possibility that small changes
could be made that would still" be  acceptable to the operators,  but result in
significant NO reduction.  The test crew then returned to that plant to con-
duct a second test series.  Between the first and second test periods, the
 furnace was shut- down for rebricking and refractory replacement to reduce
 leakage.
        For the second test series a portable 0  instrument was used in con-
nection with a watercooled probe to obtain flue gas O  and combustible readings
 at the furnace bridge wall just below the end burner  (sample point B).  The

                                     106

-------
portable instrument was also used to detect air leakage in the lower level
duct work near the cold pass in the checker system and the waste heat boiler
superheater  (sample point C).
        NOx  emissions as a function of time for the second baseline test are
shown in Figure 4-31.  The plot also includes the major work steps during
the cycle.   The variations in NOx with time are similar to those observed
during the first baseline test, indicating little effect of the furnace over-
haul.  The CO and O  emissions as a function of time at sample point A are
shown in Figure 4-32.  O« and combustible readings taken at the furnace bridge
wall (sample point B) are shown as a function of time in Figure 4-33.   This
sample point is most representative of conditions within the furnace and the
results indicate lower 02 levels varying from near zero up to 9% O .
        O  readings near the checkers and waste heat boiler superheater (sample
point C) varied between 10% and 13% O , dry.  These results indicate air leakage
in the ductwork.  During the furnace overhaul, the furnace was rebricked but
no repairs were made to the ductwork.
        Combustion Modifications, Open Hearth Furnace, Location 14—
        Variations in excess air flow were measured during a complete heat
cycle.   A portable O_ and combustible instrument was used to monitor the
flue gas at  the furnace exit.   Whenever possible, the O  readings were kept
near 1.5%.  Combustible emissions and excess O  are plotted as a function
of time in Figure 4-34.
        CO and 0  values versus time as monitored in the mobile labotatory
are shown in Figure 4-35.  NO emission data as a function of time at this
low 0  test is shown in Figure 4-36.
        The low O- test showed an overall reduction in NO emissions com-
pared to the baseline test.  Baseline average NO emissions were 1094 ng/J
(2070 ppm at 3% p , dry)  as recorded every 30 minutes.  The average NO readings
during the modified heat cycle were 660 ng/J (1249 ppm at 3% O , dry)  repre-
senting a 40% reduction in average emission rate.  There were still considerable
fluctuations in emissions and high peaks in NO , but the test did verify that
                                              X.
excess air can be controlled and NO  average emissions can be reduced.
        Location 14 - Open Hearth Furnace Trace Species Tests—
        A test was conducted to sample for trace species and organics at the
open hearth furnace.   Table 4-25 presents the sampling conditions for the
trace species and organics test.  The test was planned to terminate when two

        A replicate trace  species test was  not performed because the high
degree of fluctuating conditions made it unlikely that a comparative  repli-

cation could be obtained.

        The solid particulate loading by the SASS train was 1221 ng/J (2.84

lb/106 Btu).   This compares  with 2157 ng/J  (5.02 lb/10  Btu)  for EPA Method 5.
                                     114

-------
This difference is not unreasonable,  even though the two samples were taken
at comparable points in the operating cycle,  because of the inherent process
fluctuation.
        Figure 4-37 shows the NO emissions during the trace species test and
indicates the events that were occurring during the test period.
        Specie emission concentrations from the open hearth are given in
Table 4-26.  More detailed data are given in Appendix F.  All species were
detected except for mercury and tin.   The open hearth process is a batch pro-
cess.  Once the steel charge is loaded there is no material input other than
the fuel.  Mass balance based only on the fuel input produced overbalances
for all species (see Appendix F).   The bath of molten steel is undoubtedly
the main source of the emissions measured.  However, there was no way to
determine the process weight loss during the heat.
        POM compounds detected were anthracene, phenanthrene, methyl anthra-
cenes, fluoranthene, pyrene, chrysene, and benzo fluoranthenes.  Anthracene
and fluoranthene were most predominant as shown in Table F-66/ Appendix F.
        Published data provide an interesting comparison with six of the
trace metals measured by KVB with the SASS train (Ref.9).  Six  trace
metals were measured with an EPA Method 5 train and cascade impactors on the
open hearth furnace at Location 14.  The previous test occurred about one
year prior to the KVB test.
        Table 4-27 compares the results for both total particulate and for
size ranges.  During the previous tests several runs were made to develop
a standard deviation, which was about +_ 30% of the mean for all elements.
The KVB data for total emissions of each element agree very well with the pre-
vious results. For cadmium, copper and iron the KVB data are within one standard
deviation of the mean for the previous data.   For lead and zinc the KVB data
are nearly within one standard deviation.  For nickel the KVB data are 3.1
standard deviations above the previous results.  In view of the highly
fluctuating nature of the open hearth process and the one-year time difference,
these results are remarkably close.

        Direct comparison of the size range data is not possible because the
previous data are given for less than and greater than 2 ym, while the SASS
train separation is at 3 }jra.  However, the results are similar (within a
factor of +_ 2) for all elements except nickel.  The nickel emission rate by
the SASS train for < 3 ym is higher by a factor of five compared with the
previous emission for < 2 ym.  Most of the nickel collected by the SASS train
was present in the impingers and condensate (0.28 kg/h).

^•3-2   Steel Billet Reheat Furnace,  Location 16/1
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The reheat furnace tested  at  Location 16 is  a continuous  type  fur-
nace with two-zone firing operating on natural gas fuel.   The  furnace  is
divided into a heating and soaking zone as shown in  Figure 4-38.   About 80%
of the fuel is fired in the heating zone.   The rated heat input was  35 MW
(117xl06 Btu/hr).
        There are 13 dual fuel burners installed in  the  top firing zone  '
(heating zone) and 14 burners in the  bottom zone (soaking zone).   The  furnace
does not have an exhaust heat recuperator,* ambient temperature air is  used
for combustion.
        The steel to be heated is  charged  from the end and moved  through
the furnace by pushing the last billet charged with  a pusher at the  charg-
ing end,  As each cold piece is pushed into the furnace  against the  continu-
ous line of material, a heated piece  is removed.  The heated piece is  dis-
charged through a side door to the mill table.
        Emissions Sampling—
        Gaseous emissions measured were NO, NO , CO, SO  , and  O . CO  and

HC could not be measured due to problems with the instruments. CO  values -
were calculated from the natural gas  fuel  analysis.  Table 4-28.

        The measurements were made in the stack and a single heated sample


line was used to transport the flue gas to the instruments.   EPA Method 5


particulate test and wet chemistry SO  were conducted at the same sample point.
                                     2C


        Baseline Tests—



        Baseline measurements were made with the furnace firing natural gas


with all burners in service.  Furnace load changed during the test period


from about 90 billets per hour to about 175 billets per hour.  All test data


are presented in Table 4-29.  Total and solid particulates were obtained at


a load of about 140 billets per hour.  The particulate measurements were


17.3 ng/J (0.0404 lb/106 Btu) total particulates and 14.1 ng/J (0.0328 lb/106


Btu) solid particulate.



         Emissions  of SO  as measured with  the continuous  analyzer were  con-


 sistently very  near zero.   For  natural gas in the  area  of Location 16,  the


 sulfur content  is  of the order  of 5  ppm by volume  of H  S  (0.31 grains of


 H S per 100 cu.ft.}.   Therefore,  SO   emissions should be  approximately  0.5
  «                                £•

 ppm corrected to 3% O , dry. This is consistent with the continuous  analyzer.


 However, the wet chemistry tests  indicated much higher  values.   Two sampl-


 ing runs were made resulting in SO  values of 109.7  ppm and 110.4 ppm and SO
                                   tt»                                          -J

 values of 3.1 ppm  and 1.4 ppm.  The  close  agreement  in  the  values and  the


 fact that SO is about 3% of total SO  indicates  that the test was properly

 conducted.   However at very low values of  SO , the Shell  wet chemistry  method


 is subject to very large uncertainties.  Therefore the  wet  chemistry  data


 presented are not  considered to be valid and emissions  of SO  and SO   for

(Test 16/1-13 and 16/1-17).  The excess oxygen at the sampling point was
believed to be much higher than in the furnace, so that the change in NO^
when O  was reduced from 14.5% to 14% the change in furnace oxygen was a much
higher percentage change.
        Several tests with burners out of service at the top burner row (in
the heating zone) were conducted.  The following burner patterns were

         No  emission  reduction was obtained with the No. 7 burner out of

 obtained with  No.  4,  7, and  10 burners out of  service, Test 16/1-16.
         Stack  temperature  on this unit was 730 K  (855 °F) at  13.5%  O   during
 Test 16/1-18.   The resultant efficiency  is 46%.   Because of this very  low
 efficiency  no  analysis  was warranted  by  the effect of combustion modifications.
                                     126

-------
        Conclusions—
        The low 0  test and the tests with burners out of service show a
maximum reduction of 43% in NO  emissions compared to the baseline test
(Test 16/1-17).  No problems were experienced with nonuniform heating of
the billets as a result of removing burners from service.  Reheat furnace
oxygen level at the billets is critical.   Too much oxygen will oxidize the
steel surface and excessively fuel-rich gas will cause billet sticking.
Apparently there was sufficient mixing between the burners and billets so
that these problems did not occur.

4.3.3   Steel Ingot Soaking Pit,  Location 16/2
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The soaking pit at Location  16 is installed in  a  row of  pits  under
cover of a building adjacent to  the  entering side  of the  blooming mill.
Figure 4-41 shows a schematic cross-section through a soaking pit furnace
building.
                                                           l
        The soaking pit is of the one-way fired design  without a recuperator
as shown in Figure 4-42.  It is  equipped with one  variable heat  pattern  natural
gas burner.  The burner has the  capability for  changing air and  gas direction
thus allowing an adjustment for  flame width as  well as  flame length.   The
test unit was rated at a heat input  of 2.9 MW (10x10 Btu/hr).
        The quantity of fuel, the desired fuel/air ratio,  and the furnace
draft in the pit is controlled automatically.  The rate of fuel  is con-
trolled by temperature measurement to maintain  a preset level.  The air  is
proportioned to the amount of fuel fired at a ratio that  will give a  slight
excess of air.  The furnace draft is controlled by automatically raising or
lowering the stack damper to maintain the desired  positive furnace pressure.
        Emissions Sampling—
        Gaseous emissions measured were NO, NO  , CO, SO ,  HC, and 0_. CO

-------
        The measurements were made at the pit outlet just below the burner.
The high flue gas temperature of about 1690 K (2400 °F)  prevented Method 5
particulate or SO  wet chemistry tests due to probe material limitation.
                 A                                             ,
All test results are presented in Table 4-31.

C.      Baseline Tests—
        All measurements were made with the furnace firing natural gas.  To
maintain the preset pit temperature, heat input load varied during the tests
from 1.57 MW (5.36 106 Btu/hr) to 2.77 MW (9.45 106 Btu/hr).  Figure 4-43
shows NO  emissions and O_ as a function of load' at baseline conditions.
        x                2
Oxygen and NO  are lowest at  high load and increase at lower load.
             X
        Baseline conditions- on each test day were set by different operators.
Each operator uses his own discretion to set excess oxygen levels according
to flame appearance and heating requirements.  There was therefore some
fluctuation in baseline emissions.
        The high stack temperature (1589 K, 2400 °F) results in a baseline
efficiency by ASME heat loss method of less than 10%.  At this low level,
the effect of combustion modifications on efficiency is not meaningful and
no analysis was made.
D.      Combustion Modifications—
        Several tests with excess oxygen- variations were conducted.  Reduction
of excess air produced a significant NO  reduction.-  The effect of excess
oxygen on NO  emissions at ^ 2 MW load is presented in Figure 4-44, indicating
            A
a 69% reduction in NO  by reducing excess 0_ to about 3% from the baseline
level of 7%.
        Three tests were conducted with an adjustment of- flame length.  The
operator was concerned about uneven heating of the ingots in the pit during
tests with a shortened flame.  Localized overheating of the ingots close to
the burner end could occur and therefore these tests were run faster without
giving the furnace sufficient time to stabilize.  Ho significant change in
emissions were observed during the flame adjustment tests, as indicated for
Tests 16/2-13 to 16/2-16.

4.3.4   AluminumMelting Furnace, Location 6
        Equipment Characteristics—•
        One metal furnace was tested at Location 6.  This furnace was used
for scrap aluminum melting and while the process is primarily a batch-type
process, it is typical of a large number of installations.
        The furnace was a 39 Mg aluminum melting furnace with two combina-
tion gas-oil burners located on opposing sides of the furnace.  The furnace
normally fires natural gas, with No. 2 oil used for standby.  The rated
total heat input was 10.6 MW (38x10  Btu/hr).  Each burner had a fuel valve
and air damper linked together mechanically.  Each burner could be adjusted
independently of the other by changing mechanical linkages.  The furnace
shown schematically in Figure 4-45 was 5 m wide x 7.3 m long x 4.6 m high
(16.5 ft x 24 ft x 15 ft) and lined with refractory brick.  Charging scrap
and ingot was accomplished through a door at one end of the furnace while the
molten aluminum was withdrawn at the opposite end of the furnace by siphoning.
The exhaust stack was located at the metal discharge end of the furnace.  The
stack contained a damper and a tempering air entrance above the damper.  A
sample port was installed in the stack upstream of the damper.  Normal instru-
mentation for the furnace consisted of fuel flow rate, furnace temperature,
and gas supply pressure.
        The temperature in the stack where the emission sampling was performed
was 1200 K  (1700 °F) which required a different probe than normally used. Ceramic
probes were made from mullite tubing which has a maximum service temperature
of 1922 to 2033 K  (3000 to 3200 °F) and excellent thermal shock resistance.
No problems were encountered with the probes.
        Baseline Emission Results—
        Baseline tests were conducted with, the furnace operating in the  "as-
found" condition.  Baseline NO  measurements were 48 ng/J  (96 ppm) with  the
                              X
furnace operating at 4.6% O_.  Hydrocarbon, CO, and S0_ emissions were
negligible.

-------
        The baseline condition when firing No. 2 oil was 104 ng/J (185 ppm)
NO  with the furnace operating at 7.2% excess 0 .  The fuel oil analysis is
  X                                            ^
given in Table 4-32.  HC and CO emissions were negligible on oil firing but
S0_ measured 136 ng/J (174 ppm) for No. 2 oil firing.  No particulate measure-
ments were possible on this furnace because of sample port limitations.
        Combustion Modifications, Aluminum Furnace, Location 6—
        Combustion modification testing at this location consisted of lower-
ing the excess 0_.  Since there are only two burners located on opposite sides
of the furnace, staged or off-stoichiometric firing is not possible.  When
firing natural gas, the excess O_ was lowered from the baseline value of 4.6%
to 3.5%.  The NO  emissions increased to 57 ng/J (112 ppm), or about 17%.
                X
On oil firing, the excess 0_ was reduced from the baseline value of 7.2% to
5.1% which resulted in an increase in NO  emissions to 108 ng/J  (193 ppm) or
                                        X
a 4% increase.  Table 4-33 is a summary of the emission measurements for this
location.  The increase in NO  with reduced O  is characteristic of premixed
flames.  However, there was no particular reason for this furnace to perform
as a premixed system.
        Efficiency--
        The stack gas losses for the aluminum furnace were calculated to be
54% of fuel input for natural gas and 60% for No. 2 oil.  Since the process
is a batch-type process, the fuel input and stack flow conditions are
intermittent and the stack losses are not constant over the heating cycle.

4.4     BOILERS
        Four boilers were tested: two wood/bark boilers (Location 13 and 10/1),
a black liquor recovery boiler (Location 10/2)  and a petroleum refinery carbon
monoxide boiler (Location 11).

4-4.1   Location 13 Tests - Wood/Bark Boiler
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The wood/bark boiler at Location 13 was rated at 45,360 kg/hr (100,000
Ib/hr) steam flow firing coal.  The boiler was built in 1966 by Wickes Boiler
Company and is equipped with an overfeed traveling grate stoker which feeds
bark and coal continuously.  The wood/bark was injected into the furnace
pneumatically through a port located above the overfire air ports.  The boiler
is equipped with a multiclone dust collector.
        The boiler operators were directed to maintain bark flow rate constant
during the tests but flow was occasionally interrupted for periods of up to 30
minutes due to bark duct plugging.  This occurs from tiiee to time and is con-
sidered normal operation.  There were no coal or bark scales installed at this
unit so no fuel flow rates could be recorded.  The percentage- of bark heat
input was estimated from the steam chart when bark flow is interrupted.  The
test boiler was encountering high superheater metal temperature when burning
wood/bark.  The boiler burned bark until the superheater metal temperature
reached 706 K (810 QF).  The design temperature is 672 K (750 °F).  This tempera-
ture can be maintained when burning coal only.
        Combustion modifications which were evaluated include excess air
adjustments and overfire air variation.  Total particulate, particulate size
distribution, wet chemical SO  and trace element tests were conducted on this
                             X
unit.
        Emissions Sampling—
        Gaseous emissions measurements were made in the stack downstream of a
multiclone dust collector.'  The heated sample line was used to sample all
                                     139

-------
gaseous emissions.  A single sample port downstream of the multiclone was
used to sample for particulate, SO , and trace species and organics.  No access
was available for measurements upstream of the dust collector.
        Baseline Tests—
        Baseline emission measurements were made with the boiler in the "as
found" condition firing about 20% wood/bark and 80% Kentucky coal.  Results of
all tests are presented in Table 4-34.  Fuel analyses are given in Table 4-35.
Boiler load at baseline conditions was 41,300 kg/hr steam flow (approximately 90%
of rated capacity) .  Boiler load was relatively constant (+_ 6-1/2%) throughout
the entire test series.  Boiler NO  emissions at as-found baseline conditions
                         6        X
.were 168 ng/J (0.39 lb/10  Btu), 266 ppm at 3% 0_^  NO  emissions increased from
                                                <*£*     X
168 to 232 ng/J as wood/bark flow decreased.  Highest NO  emissions occurred when
                                                        X
only coal was burned.
        Solid particulate emissions were 105 ng/J (0.244 lb/10  Btu) at 8.5%
O  with the boiler at approximately 87% of rated capacity.  Particulate size
distribution was also measured using a cascade impactor.  Data on the size
distribution are shown in Figure 4-46 for test number 13-8, where particle
diameter as a function of cumulative proportion of impactor catch is plotted.
Approximately 40% of the particulate is below 3 Vim aerodynamic diameter,
        Combustion Modifications-
        Combustion modification testing included variation of excess air and
variation in overfire air.  Load variations were not possible as the boiler
output was committed to the process and there was no reserve capacity avail-
able.  Load variations indicated in the summary data table are the result of
normal fluctuations in load for a boiler in this type process.
        A test series  (Tests 13-9 through 13-14) was conducted to evaluate
the effect of excess oxygen on emissions.  The overfire air was left constant -
100% open  (normal position) for these tests.  Excess O  was controlled by
adjusting the damper on the forced draft fan.  The baseline condition for the •
0  variation tests was 7.75% 0  and the NO  emissions were 196 ng/J.  The

excess O  for these tests varied from a high value of 9.6% to a low value of
5.3%.  The effect of excess O  on NO  emissions is shown in Figure 4-47 which
                             £      X
includes all the test data measured.  Lowering the excess O  resulted in a
decrease in NO  from 250 ng/J at 9.6% O  to 170 ng/J at 5.3% O.  A measurement

of 160 ng/J NO  at 6.8% 0  was obtained during this series of tests but load
had dropped and grate speed was reduced to maintain the proper bed thickness.
During the 0  variation tests, the grate temperature indicators did not change
and it was later verified that the indicators were inoperative.  Combustion
at the low O  (5.3%) condition appeared good and the CO measurement was 5 ng/J.
       Following the O  variations, the unit was returned to the initial con-
dition for a baseline check- and to provide a baseline for the overfire air test.
The overfire air damper was normally 100% open for all conditions and all pre-
vious tests had been conducted with the overfire air 100% open.  The overfire
air was changed to 50% open with normal bark flow.  No change in NO emissions
was observed.  The overfire air damper was moved to 30% open.  The NO
                                                                     «JC
emissions were reduced from 204 ng/J at 7.9% O_ at the baseline condition
to 167 ng/J NO  at 7.4% O_ with the overfire air reduced to 30% open (Test
              A          £f
13-15).
       The bark is injected above the overfire air ports.  With overfire air
ports in the fully open position, much of the bark is burned in suspension and
only larger particles fall to the grate.  This can lead to incomplete combustion
if the smaller particles are carried over to the dust collector before complete
combustion.  When the overfire air ports are 30% open, all or most of the bark
falls on the grate and the moisture in the additional barJc on the grate cools
the flame which leads to reduced NO  emissions.  For reduced NO  and CO emis-
                                   x                           x
sions, the boiler should be operated with only 30% overfire air when both wood
bark and coal are being fired.
       During the test series, it was observed that the S02 measurements were
varying.  The variation in SO  concentration is due to fluctuations in wood
bark flow.  Since the load is fairly stable, when bark flow decreases, more
coal is automatically injected to hold the load.  This is indicated by an
increase in SO  concentration.

       Total particulate concentration was measured at the low excess 0

       A cascade impactor test (Test No. 13-20)  was attempted at low O  con-
dition.  Due to erratic wood/bark flow and wood/bark composition changing, the
low 0_ cascade impactor test was conducted at 7.4% 0 .  The 0  could not be

lowered because of surges in bark flow and smoke conditions.   During the cas-
cade impactor test, the wood/bark flow accounted for approximately 20% of the
load.   The results of the low 0  cascade, impactor test are presented in Figure
4-48 where particle diameter as a function of cumulative proportion of impac-
tor catch is plotted.  Approximately 30% of the particulate is below 3 \im
aerodynamic diameter.
       Following the cascade impactor test, a test was conducted (Test 13-21)
to try to lower O  and reduce  superheater tube metal temperature with soft
wood/bark accounting for approximately 20% of the load.  The overfire air was
then adjusted.  The rear overfire air ports were reduced to 10% open which
resulted in the boiler smoking.  No data were taken at this condition.  The
front overfire air ports were  reduced to 10% open with the rear ports fully
open and under grate air at 30% open.  The conclusions from these tests are
that reduced excess air firing can lower NO  emissions and improve superheater

metal temperature conditions without adversely affecting efficiency or other
operating conditions.
       Efficiency—
       Efficiency of the wood/bark boiler was calculated using the heat loss
method outlined in ASME Power Test Code PTC 4.1-b.  The fuel was assumed to be
20% yellow pine wood/bark and 80% Kentucky coal.  Stack gas losses were cal-
culated from the flue gas analyses and radiation loss was estimated from the
ABMA Standard Radiation Loss Chart.  Combustible loss in the ash was estimated
from previous test data on similar units.  The estimated efficiency for each
test condition is presented in the previous table.  Efficiency varied from
82.3% at 5.2% 0  during Test No. 13-12 to 79.7% at 8.6% 0  during Test No. 13-23.

       Location 13 - Wood Bark Boiler Trace Species Test—
       Two trace species and organics tests were conducted on the wood/bark
boiler at Location 13.  The boiler is fitted with a multiclone dust collector
at the outlet.  Sampling was conducted only at the dust collector outlet
because the inlet to the dust collector was inaccessible.

       Table 4-36 presents the sampling conditions for the trace species and
organics tests.  The tests were planned to terminate when two filters were
plugged or five hours of sampling elapsed, depending upon which occurred first,
Both tests were terminated after five hours sampling and only a single filter
was used for each test.

       Solid particulate levels of 127 to 136 ng/J measured with the SASS
sampling train are comparable to the EPA Method 5 data of 105 to 144 ng/J.
       Results of trace species and organic analysis for the two tests are
summarized in Table 4-37.  Detailed data are contained in Appendix F, Tables
F-50 to F-59,  All species were detected except for cobalt, tellurium, tin,
and PCB.  For most detected species the results for the two tests were in
reasonable agreement.  However, several species were much higher in the second
test (13-24), including manganese, titanium and zinc.  Mass balance data,
Appendix F, indicate that the value for titanium from the first test is more
appropriate.  The very high value for the second test was from the condensate
and impinger collection and may be due to contamination.  For manganese and
zinc, the values for the second test gave a better mass balance.
       POM compounds were detected in most of the samples collected on these
tests.  The first test yielded about 44 times as much total POM.  Anthracene,
fluoranthene and chrysene were detected in the cyclone wash and organic
module rinse.  These three were also in the XAD-2 resin but the resin also
trapped phenanthrene, methylanthracene, pyren'e, benzo fluoranthenes, benz  (a)
pyrene and benz (e) pyrene.  This test unit was the only one for which the
cyclone wash was analyzed for specific POM by GC/MS because GC analyses indi-
cated a higher total POM concentration in this wash compared with the organic
module.  However,  the concentration of specific POM by GC/MS was higher in
the organic module.

        The BSW wood/bark boiler at Location 10 was rated 200,000 Ib steam
per hour firing gas alone.  It was designed to fire wood/bark on an overfed
traveling grate and natural gas through four burners, and was equipped with
an air preheater.
        The design characteristics are given in Table 4-38.
                      TABLE 4-38-  DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS

        The unit was equipped with an electrostatic precipitator.
        Combustion modifications included burners out- of service, air heater
adjustments and air register adjustments.  • Total particulate and particulate
size distribution tests were conducted with the unit firing wood/bark and
natural gas.
        Emissions Sampling—
        Gaseous emissions measurements were made at the air heater inlet .and
outlet.  The heated sample line, used for measuring SO , NO , and HC was con-
nected to the air heater outlet.
        Particulates were sampled upstream of the precipitator,
                                     151

-------
        Baseline Tests-—
        Baseline emission measurements were made with the boiler firing wood/
bark and natural gas.  The boiler load could not be held constant because of
fluctuating wood flow and swings in load of from 9 to 16 Mg steam per hour
were recorded.  The nominal load also varied considerably with time.  Boiler
NO  emission at baseline with high wood flow was 124 ng/J (229 ppm corrected
  X
to 3% O ).  With low wood flow NO  dropped to 75 ng/J (133 ppm) .  Test results
       «£*                         X
are presented in Table 4-39 and the wood fuel analysis is given in Table 4-40.
        Solid particulate emissions were 500 to 1334 ng/J (1.2 to 3 lb/10
Btu), varying dependent on the amount of wood flow to the boiler.  A cascade
impactor test was conducted with all burners in service to detemine particle
size distribution.  Figure 4-49 presents particle size as a function of percent
cumulative catch for the bark boiler at baseline conditions.  These data indi-
cate that only 5% of the particulate leaving the bark boiler are smaller than
3 \M diameter.  Opacity was 5%.  The wide variation in percentage of particu-
late below 3 ym which is emitted from wood bark boilers at locations 13 and
10  is due to the removal of larger particulate by the multiclone which pre-
ceeded the sample port at location 13.

        Combustion Modifications—
        Combustion modification testing included air preheat adjustments and
burner-out-of-service tests.  Difficulty in maintaining a steady load con-
dition was encountered on all tests.  The bark flow to the boiler is not
constant or stable.  The steam flow fluctuated with bark flow to the boiler
with natural gas fuel flow adjusted to attempt to stabilize the steam flow.
The NO  emissions as a function of flue gas excess oxygen are presented in
      3C
Figure 4-50,
        Tests 5 to 8 consisted of air preheater adjustment.  On the day of
these tests, boiler wood flow was high resulting in high levels of HC, CO, and
SO_ in spite of O  levels that were higher than for baseline.  Reduction of
  m*              <<•
air preheat temperature from 550 K to 344 K  (530 to .160 °F) did not result
in any change in NO  emissions but HC, CO, and SO  were significantly increased.

all four burners were operating yielded NO  emissions 12% lower than base-
                                          JC
line.  However, since wood flow and steam output were fluctuating, compari-
son been test runs is not valid. -The main objective in burner tests was
to attempt to reduce high CO and HC levels and that was accomplished pri-
marily 'by air register adjustments.  This, together with Burner No. 4 out
of service, yielded the lowest overall emissions.
        The conclusion is that reduction of excess air together with burner
air register adjustments is the most effective NO  control method.

4.4.3   Location 10/2 Tests - Black Liquor Recovery Boiler
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The black liquor recovery boiler at Location 10 was manufactured by
Combustion Engineering in 1965.  The design performance of the unit is given
in Table 4-41'.  A unit schematic is shown in Figure 4-51.  The schematic shows
the major components of interest and also indicates the gaseous and liquor
flow paths.  Weak liquor from the multiple effect evaporator system flows
through wet bottom electrostatic precipitators where moisture is removed by
the flue gas.  In addition, the liquor picks up the solid ESP catch before
entering contact evaporators where further moisture is removed.  Salt cake
(Na SO ) make-up chemical is added to the strong liquor before the liquor is
burned in the furnace.  Molten smelt, drawn off from the bottom of the furnace,
is mixed with recirculating green liquor in the smelt tank and is then removed
for further processing.
        Combustion air temperature is raised in a steam preheater and intro-
duced into the furnace as both  a primary and secondary stream (to control
the relative oxidizing/reducing atmosphere within the furnace.  The com-
bustion products are then passed through contact evaporators and wet bottom
precipitators where they pick up moisture from the liquor.  The I.D. fan
and stack complete the gaseous flow path.
         Data analysis is  complicated by the unusual composition  of  the  black
 liquor fuel  shown- in Table 4-42«   Complete elemental balances on carbon,  hydro-
 gen,  sulfur,  and sodium are necessary to arrive at expected flue gas compo-
 sition and heat input necessary  for expression of emissions on a heat input
 basis (.ng/J) .
         Table 4-43  shows  a calculation of the  elemental  distribution for
 combustion of black liquor.  Combustion products include SO , Na SO , Na  CO /
                                                            ^    **   re    £,  J

   Development of the theoretical flue gas composition is shown in Table 4-44,
based on the elemental analysis from the previous table.  The final result is
the dry stack flow per unit heat input, dNm /J (DSCF/10  Btu) .   EPA New Source
Performance Standards provide a relationship, called Fe, that allows calcu-
lation of dNm3/J (DSCF/106 Btu)  for fossil fuels.  The form of this factor,
expanded to include the effect of Na forming Na SO  and Na CO , is given at
the bottom of the table.  Note that in using the equation for Fe, the values
of %C, %S, and %Na cannot be taken directly from the fuel analysis as is the
procedure for fossil fuels.  The distribution of C between CO  and Na CO ,

        Baseline Emissions—
        The black liquor recovery boiler was tested while firing black liquor
alone and while firing black liquor and natural gas.  Emissions data are pre-
sented in Table 4-45.  Baseline NO  was relatively low, 35 ng/J (52 ppm cor-
                                  X
rected to 3% O ,  dry), but HC emission was high, 900 to 2700 ppm, and CO emis-
sion was very high, up to 30000 ppm.  Particulate emission was 3481 ng/J
(8.1 lb/10  Btu).  Opacity readings were not taken due to the absence  of the
observer.

        Modifications included secondary air damper adjustments and reduc-
tion of black liquor solids content.  Air damper adjustment reduced NO
                                                                      X
by 33% but increased EC by 200%.  Reduction of black liquor solids content
(increased moisture) had little effect on emissions.
        Location 10 - Black Liquor Recovery Boiler Trace Species Test—
        Four SASS tests were conducted on the black liquor recovery boiler
(BLRB).  Figure 4-51 shows the sampling points.
        The SASS train sampling points were at the entrance to one of the
contact evaporators  (which passed approximately 80% of the flue gas flow) and
in the duct between the I.D. fan and the 'stack.  Samples were taken of the
weak liquor, salt cake, strong liquor and solidified smelt.  The BLRB is
designed to operate on supplemental natural gas fuel during periods of low
liquor flow from the pulp digesters, liquor spray nozzle plugging, etc.
However, all SASS tests (except a portion of 10/2-14) were conducted with
black liquor as the only fuel.
        Table 4-46 summarizes the sampling data and Table 4-47 contains the
process flow rates.  Each test is discussed separately below.
        Test 10/2-10 - Furnace Outlet—
        Test 10/2-10 was conducted with the train positioned at the furnace
outlet  (inlet to the contact evaporator).  The required sampling time to plug
two filters was 38.6 minutes.
        The significant unit operating parameters  (from the control room
instruments) for this test are shown in'Figure 4-52 and indicate a fairly
stable period of operation during the test period.
        Test 10/2-12 - Furnace Outlet—
        Test 10/2-12, a repeat of the previous inlet test, was conducted for
25.8 rains,  sampling  time when the second filter was plugged.  Data analysis
indicated that the cyclone flow rate was only 1.6% higher than the desired
value an'd that the sampling was also being conducted at 91.9% of isokinetic
conditions.  The unit was operating in a somewhat upset condition with large
decreases in both steam rate and liquor flow, i.e., -19.1% and -14.9%, res-
pectively.  These decreases were due to an agitator gear box failure in one
                                      166

of the wet bottom precipitators which restricted the liquor flow.  Boiler
operation prior to the test was nominal but at a slightly lower liquor flow
compared with the first test and with only six of eight liquor nozzles in
service.  Figure 4-53 indicates that a significant upset occurred during the
test which was a result of a restriction in the liquor feed to the wet bottom
precipitators.  As a consequence, the steam rate sharply decayed.  Device
operation was continued with only four liquor nozzles in service.
        Test 10/2-14 - Precipitator Outlet—
        Test 10/2-14 was performed" between the I.D. fan and stack.  A full
five-hour sampling duration was obtained with one filter.  After accumulating
220 rain, elapsed time, a problem arose within the oven; the oven heater
electrical breaker kept opening.  Upon partial disassembly of the oven box,
it was found that the insulation on the wires to the circulating fan had
failed allowing the wires to weld together.  This problem was corrected and
the test was concluded the following day.
        Unit operation and duct conditions were steady for the split test
periods and the sampling rate was within 5.6% of nominal and 2.6% of being
isokinetic.  During the conclusion'of the first hour of the test, the boiler
was operating partially on supplemental natural gas due to salt cake plugging
of the liquor spray nozzles.  The black liquor flow rate had dropped to
0.4547 m /min  (120 gpm) during the time of natural gas usage.  Figure 4-54
shows the process variables required for a system mass and energy balance.
Figure 4-55 is a plot of significant process variables for the second part
of test 10/2-14.  Aside from a modest drop in steam and liquor flow, all other
conditions were steady.  Seven liquor nozzles were in service.
        Test 10/2-16 - Precipitator Outlet—•
        The second BLRB outlet SASS test  (10/2-16) was also performed for five
hours of sampling time.  A procedural change was incorporated for this and
subsequent tests and involved forming an ice bath within the XAD2 module
top closure.   This change reduced  the adsorbent temperature.  Also as a
result  of  this change, the XAD2  module condensate volume increased with a
corresponding  decrease in impinger condensable capture.  Of note is the
                                     170

marked increase in flue gas moisture content between the inlet to the contact
evaporators (23%) and the exit from the wet bottom precipitators  (33%).  This
increase is due to the moisture evaporated from the liquor by the flue gas
within these two direct contact devices.  The cyclone flow rate was within
1.2% of the nominal value and was sampling at 97.7% of isokinetic conditions.
Unit operation, in terms of steam rate and liquor flow to the burners, was
nominal during the course of the test as shown in Figure 4-56.  However, the
unit had been operating without salt cake addition to the liquor as the supply
had been exhausted.
        Results of the four trace species and organics tests are summarized
in Table 4-48.  Detailed data are presented in Appendix F, Tables F-21 to
F-39.  All species were detected except for mercury, tellurium, tin and PCB.
Results for duplicate tests at the ESP inlet and at the outlet show good
repeatability for cadmium, calcium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese,
nickel, selenium, and titanium.  At the precipitator inlet, the second test
(10/2-12) was conducted with the unit somewhat upset and operating at higher
0_  (7.8%) than for the first test  (10/2-10).  The increased 0_ appeared to
affect two species.  For the second test the chloride emissions are much
higher but total POM is much lower.  Total hydrocarbons were also much lower
for the second test  (Table 4-45).
        The concentrations were reduced by the precipitator for all detected
species.  Precipitator collection varied from about 65% to over 99% for the
data that shows comparable duplicate test results.
                            «•
        As can be seen in Appendix F the mass balances for this unit were
consistently high  (order of 2 x input) due to species concentrations in the
smelt exceeding that of the fuel input.  Calculated smelt flow rate may
have been too high.  Smelt  flow could not be measured but was determined
from a  sodium balance, which should be as accurate a method as practical.
The hot smelt sample was removed from the furnace bottom with a steel ladle
which could have contaminated the sample.  Smelt drops from the furnace floor
into a dissolving tank and therefore is not cooled to a temperature f°r
normal ash sampling procedures.
        Specific POM compound emissions were highest for anthracene, fluoranthene,
chrysene, and benzo  fluorantheses  (Table F-39).  Many other specific POM com-
pounds were present.                  1_.

        Equipment Characteristips—
                               !
        The CO boiler at Location 11 was designed by B&W to recover the heat
discharged from the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) regenerator that
processes 4770 m /d (30,000 bbl/d) in an oil refinery.  The boiler was rated at
136,054 kg/hr (300,000 Ib/hr) steam flow firing CO rich gases from the regenera-
tor and refinery gas at 135 MW |(461xlO  Btu/hr) heat input.
        Analysis of the gas composition of the CO gas from the regenerator
and of the refinery gas were provided by the refinery.  The total heat input
to the boiler was divided approximately 50% to the refinery gas and 50% to the
CO gas.  The CO rich gas has a {low heating value but a large volume at rela-
tively high temperature is consumed.  Analyses of the two gases are presented
in Table 4-49.

The unit was fired with four B&J-? spud type gas burners and had NO  ports on
the right and left sides for introducing air into the furnace away from the
primary combustion zone.

        Sampling was done in the duct connecting the boiler with the stack.
Four sample probes were installed in the duct with the heated line connected
to one probe.  Particulate measurements were also made at this sample port.
A schematic of the FCCU and CO boiler is presented in Figure 4-57.
        Baseline Emissions—
        Baseline emissions were measured with the unit at .136,961 kg/hr (302,000
Ib/hr) steam flow firing CO gas and refinery gas.  The measured NO emissions
at this firing condition were 147 ng/J (126 ppm corrected to 3% O , dry basis).
Total particulate emissions at baseline conditions were measured at 129.3 ng/J
(0.301 lb/10  Btu) using the EPA Method 5 procedure for determining particulate
loading.  An observer for opacity readings was not available.
        Combustion Modifications—
        Combustion modifications testing included excess air variation, air
register adjustments, burner out of service and NO  port adjustment.  Test
results are presented in Table 4-50.  Due to fan limitation, large variations
in excess air were not possible at full load conditions.  The effect of excess
air on NO  emissions is shown in Figure 4-58 for the CO boiler.  The lowest
         X
measured NO  emissions was with all burners in service, NO  ports closed, and
           
varied from 147 ng/J (126 ppm) to 168 ng/J  (144 ppm).  An air-register adjust-
ment lowered the NO  to 130 ng/J  (112 ppm).  All of these tests were with the
                   X,
NO  ports closed.
  ji
        NO  port adjustment  (Tests No. 11-6, 7, and 8) showed little influence
          A
in NO  emissions.  Opening the left side NO  ports 100% resulted in a reduction
     X                                     X
in NO  from 168 ng/J (144 ppm) to 162 ng/J  (139 ppm) or less than 2%.  The
     X
right side NO  ports and combination right and left sides showed even less
             X
influence.
        Carbon monoxide measurements were much more sensitive to combustion
modifications than were NO  emissions.  The effect of excess oxygen on CO
emissions is shown in Figure 4-59 for all tests on the CO boiler.  These data
show large increases in CO as the excess oxygen is lowered below about 2%.
WO  port adjustments led to higher CO values.  Opening the left side NO  ports
  x                                                                    x

reduced CO from 44 ng/J (62 ppm) to 23 ng/J (32 ppm), which was opposite the
effect exhibited by opening the right NO  ports ,or a combination of right and
                                        X
left ports.  Opening the right NO  ports resulted in an increase in CO to
     •                            2C
104 ng/J (147 ppm) and opening right and left ports 50% resulted in an increase
to 107 ng/J (151 ppm),  This effect is attributed to flame pattern variations
in the furnace.  Air register adjustment, however, allowed the excess oxygen to
be lowered without significantly increasing the CO emission.  By adjusting the
air registers, the O  was lowered to 1.8% with the CO measured at 11 ng/J
(15 ppm).
        Two tests with one burner out of service showed little effect on NO .
                                                                           x
        Efficiency—
        CO boiler efficiency was calculated using the heat loss method and
the analysis of CO gas and refinery gas as furnished by the refinery.  High
stack temperatures resulted in high dry gas losses for the boiler.  Efficiency
for the unit ranged from a low of 63.4% to a high of 65.8%.  The average
efficiency for the unit with the air registers in a modified configuration
was about 1.2% higher than in the normal or "as-found" configuration—65.5%
versus 64.3%.

4.5     INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
        Two internal combustion engines were tested:  a natural gas compressor
and a diesel electric generator.  The following sections describe the equip-
ment and emissions measurements.
4.5.1   Natural Gas Engine, Location 2
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The test unit was a natural-gas fueled, spark ignited, two-stroke
cycle internal combustion engine located in a natural gas processing plant.
The eight cylinder engine was a natural aspirated engine made by Clark in 1943,
and is rated at 880 hp.  Air supply to the engine was controlled by butter-
fly valves located in each intake manifold.  Fuel flow to each cylinder was
adjusted with the fuel intake valve.  Limited speed control was achieved by
means of a governor on the engine.  Load changes were made by varying the
suction pressure on the compressor which the engine was driving,  A schematic
of the engine is shown in Figure 4-60.
        Engine and compressor instrumentation consisted of eight cylin-
der exhaust temperature thermocouples, engine tachometer, first stage
compressor inlet pressure and temperature, second stage discharge pres-
sure, manifold vacuum, and fuel pressure.   These readings were recorded
at each engine setting.
        An analysis of the natural gas which was fired was obtained
from the operating company.  The gas analysis is presented in Table 4-51.

        Special Instrumentation Requirements—
        Ho special instrumentation was required for the testing at this loca-
tion.  The engine tested was instrumented to give most operating parameters.
Pressure and temperature gages were installed at the compressor inlet and a
compressor discharge pressure was installed to give load characteristics.
However, fuel flow, air flow and power were not measurable.  Sufficient data
were taken to estimate relative power as a percent of baseline.
        Gaseous and Particulate Emission Results—
        Baseline tests were conducted on the engine operating in the "as-found"
condition.  NO  emissions were measured at 976 to 1104 ng/J (1900 to 2150 ppm
              2v
corrected to 3% O , dry) with the engine operating at 12.5% to 12.7% O .
                 £                                                    fm
Emissions data are presented in Table 4-52.  The high volume cascade impactor
(eight-stage Andersen) was also run at this engine setting but no measurable
particulate was collected so no further particulate tests were scheduled with
this unit.
        Visual opacity readings were made and the stack was absolutely clear.
        Combustion Modifications—
        Combustion modification testing on this unit consisted of load reduc-
tion, speed variation, and engine air and fuel flow variation.
    1.  LoadVariation—Gaseous emissions data were taken and a stack gas
velocity traverse was conducted at each load condition as the engine load 'was
reduced.  The load was varied by reducing the inlet pressure by closing the
valve on the compressor, inlet.  Normal inlet pressure was 13 psig and the load
was reduced in 1 psig decrements to 10 psig, the lower limit.  Below 10 psig,
the engine began to pulsate.  After the lower load condition, the engine was
reset to the normal operating condition.  The effect of load is shown graphical-
ly in Figure 4-61.  The NO  shows a peak, then drops off sharply as load is
                          3C
increased.

    2.  Speed Variation—Tests were conducted to evaluate the effect of engine
speed on emissions by adjusting a governor located on the engine.  The initial test
of this series was at the "as-found" engine speed, approximately 270 KPM.  The
speed was then increased to 300 RPM and finally decreased to 250 RPM.  Gaseous
emissions measurements were made and a velocity traverse by the exhaust stack
was conducted at each setting.  No appreciable effect on NO emissions was
observed but HC emissions exhibited strong dependence on engine speed as shown
in Figure 4-62.  This is understandable since the major source of unbumed
hydrocarbons is due to short circuiting during the scavenging process; and the
amount of short circuiting should be inversely related to the engine speed.
   3.   Engine Air and Fuel Adjustment—Tests were conducted to determine the
effect of air/fuel ratio on emissions from the engine.  For two-cycle engines,
the stack level of oxygen is not an indication of the air/fuel ratio in the
engine cylinders during the combustion process.  In this type of engine the
induction and exhaust process occurs in one crankshaft revolution.  During a
portion of the cycle, both the intake and exhaust ports are open simultaneously
and fresh charge scavenges out the remaining combustion products from the
cylinder.  This short circuiting of fresh mixture during the scavenging process
in effect dilutes the combustion products.
        A baseline test (2-4A) was conducted with the engine in the "as-found"
condition.  Air flow to the engine is controlled by eight butterfly valves on
each intake manifold.  At the baseline condition, six of these eight valves
were open.  The remaining two valves were then opened completely and measure-
ments were made.  This resulted (2-4B)  in little change in the gaseous emis-
sions and stack velocity,  indicating that there must have been little pressure
drop across the valves.  Closing the valves to reduce air flow to the engine
and decrease the air/fuel ratio from the baseline condition was not attempted
because it results in overheating the engine cylinder.
        The fuel flow to the engine was then 'decreased in an attempt to
achieve a higher air/fuel ratio.  The fuel valve on each cylinder was adjusted
until the engine was just able to carry the load.  Due to the short circuiting,
it is difficult to assess the resulting change in the air/fuel ratio in the
cylinders since the stack excess oxygen level is not a direct measure of this

parameter.  Since the carbon monoxide and nitric oxide emissions remained
essentially constant, it appears that the air/fuel ratio was not greatly
altered (see test 2-5B).  The fuel valves were then returned to their normal
position and an attempt was made to reduce the fuel flow by reducing the gas
manifold pressure from the normal setting of 269 kPa (39 psig)  to 221 kPa
(32 psig).  The carbon monoxide and nitric oxide emissions indicated that the
air/fuel ratio did not change (test 2-5C).  The changes in the unburned hydro-
carbon emissions (tests 2-5B and C)  appeared to be due to changes in mixture
short circuiting with engine speed as opposed to changes in air/fuel ratio.
        It is also worth noting that this particular engine is operating
with a fairly lean air/fuel ratio in the cylinders.  The hydrocarbon
emissions originate from two sources (1) unburned hydrocarbons remaining
after the combustion process, and (2) "short circuiting" during the
scavenging process, with the latter being predominant.  The major source
of carbon monoxide is'the combustion process and thus can be used as an
indication of the air/fuel ratio in the chamber.  The low carbon mono-
xide emission levels for this engine indicate that the engine is operat-
ing with a fairly high air/fuel ratio relative to stoichiometric.
        Efficiency'—
        The efficiency of the internal combustion engine under baseline and
modified operating conditions was calculated.  No instruments were available
for recording fuel and air input flow rates, or compressor power.  A velocity
and temperature traverse was made'across the engine exhaust duct to determine
exhaust -gas flow rate.
        The power delivered by the compressor was taken as / pdV.  This
can be written as MEP •  AV where MEP is the compressor mean effective
pressure and Av is the piston displacement.  The time  rate of Av, in
turn, is directly proportional to the compressor (and engine)  RPM.
Reference  7  indicates that the  value of MEP is  a function of the  com-
pressor inlet and discharge pressures,  both of which were measured.  If
it is assumed that the compressor efficiency is constant, then the pro-
duct MEP " RPM is a measure of the engine output (load).
                                     191

-------
        Figure 4-63 is the resulting reduced data depicting the variation in
engine efficiency (with respect to the baseline)  as a function of RPM for a
constant load.  It is noted that the design RPM (260) yields the highest
efficiency for this load.
        Figure 4-64 presents engine efficiency as a function of load for
constant values of RPM.  The trend noted will probably be reversed at larger
values of load; i.e., the efficiency will peak and then decrease as the load
continues to increase.
        Conclusions—
        NO  concentrations for the 1C engine tend to be quite high relative
          JC
to other combustion devices except cement kilns.   Fuel adjustment, air
adjustment, and speed variation had little effect on the NO  emissions from
near 2000 ppm for baseline tests to about 1600 ppm for the final fuel adjust-
ment tests.  This would appear to be a 20% reduction of NO .  However, there
                                                          JC
appeared to be a day-to-day shift in emissions that could not be attributed
to any specific variable, indicating some possible influence other than the
parameters measured.
        Retarding the spark firing point has been indicated as a means by
which NO  can be reduced in reciprocating engines.  The engine tested at
        X
Location 2 had the spark set at 3 to 4 degrees before top dead center.  The
operators would not allow any adjustment because the engine had two magnetos,
one for each four cylinders.  Each magneto would have to be adjusted separately.
A mismatch in the setting could cause engine operation or maintenance problems
not warranted for a temporary test.

        Baseline Tests—
        Baseline gaseous emissions were measured with the engine in the "as-
found" condition.   The baseline load was approximately 0.4 MW.  Tests were con-
ducted at up to 0.5 MW but the electrical demand at the facility did not allow
steady operation at power outputs in excess of 0.4 MW.  Therefore 0,4 MW was
selected as baseline.  Baseline NO emissions were 905.4 ng/J  (1611 ppm).  Baseline
NO emissions were calculated to be 6.6 g/HP-hr (8.8 gAW-h) based on engine
 specifications  and actual  operating conditions.   Data from the  engine  manufac-
 turer listed NO emissions  at  3.7  g/HP-hr (5.0  g/kw-n)  at the baseline  load
 condition.

-------
        Combustion Modifications—
        The effect of engine load and inlet air temperature were evaluated
and the test results are presented in Table 4-53.   The effect of engine load
on NO emissions is shown in Figure 4-66.  Engine load was reduced from the
baseline load of 0.4 MW to 0.1 MW in 0.1 MW increments.  At the low load
condition  (0.1 MW), the NO showed a 27% reduction from the "as-found" con-
dition.
        The effect of reduced inlet air temperature on NO emissions is also
shown in Figure 4-66 but is shown more clearly in Figure 4-67.  NO  was found
                                                                  *\
to decrease with reduced inlet air temperature.  The decrease in NO  was about
8 ppm per K (4.4 ppin per °F)  reduction in inlet air temperature with a total
7% reduction over the temperature range tested.
        Particulate Size Distribution and SO  Testing—
                                            x       ^
        Two tests were conducted to measure the total particulate from the
diesel engine firing No. 2 diesel fuel at two load conditions.  Both" tests
were performed using the EPA Method 5 to measure total particulate.
        At a load of 0.5 MW, the total particulate measured was 32.1 ng/J
 (0.0746 lb/10  Btu)  and solid particulate was 12.3 ng/J (0.029 Ib/lQ6 Btu).
When the load was lowered to 0,4 MW, the total particulate measured increased
to 48.9 ng/J (0.114 IbAO  Btu)  and solid particulate was unchanged—12.4 ng/J
(0.029 lb/106 Btu).
        Wet chemistry SO  tests were conducted at loads of 0.5 and 0.4 MW
using the Shell-Emeryville method.  At 0.5 MW, the SO_ measured was 97 ng/J
 (124 ppm) and SO  was 9 ng/J  (12 ppm).  The measured SO_ at 0.4 MW was
124 ng/J (159 ppm) and the SO  was 12 ng/J (16 ppm).  SO  measured with the
DuPont Model 400 SO2 analyzer was 130 ng/J (167 ppm) and. 128 ng/J  (164 ppm)
for 0.5 and 0.4 MW, respectively.
        Particulate size distribution was measured at both 0.5 and 0.4 MW
loads.  An Anderson 2000 high-temperature cascade impactor was used to collect
the particulate sample.  The particulate size distribution for each load is
presented in Figure 4-68.  At 0.5 MW load, approximately 53% of the impactor
catch was 3 pm diameter or smaller.  At 0.4 MW, approximately 82% of the
impactor catch was 3 ym or smaller.

        Trace Species and Organics Tests—
        Two trace species and organics (TS&O) tests were conducted on the
diesel engine at Location 15.  The two tests were replicated at the low NO
                                                                          X
load condition.  The TS&O sampling point was in the engine exhaust stack on
the centerline.  The sampling conditions for the two tests are summarized
in Table 4-55.
        Results of the sample analysis are summarized in Table 4-56.  Detailed
data are contained in Appendix F, Tables F-67 to F-76.  Of the 26 species to
be identified all but antimony, lead and mercury were detected in the exhaust.
Only six species could be detected in the diesel fuel:  calcium, manganese,
zinc, fluoride, nitrates and sulfates.  Table 4-57 shows the fuel input and
stack output flow rates.  The mass balances were less than unity except for
nitrates in the first test (15-10).  Mass balances were within a factor of
two only for calcium (test 15-10) and manganese (both tests).  Manganese
emissions were higher during the first test;  apparent from both the fuel input
and SASS measurements.  Emissions of zinc were nearly the same for both tests
but zinc was below detection in the fuel for the second test.
        No solid particulate was collected in the cyclones during the two
tests; all material was in the filter, organic module or impingers.
        Specific POM's identified (Table F-76) in the XAD-2 resin included
anthracene, phenanthrene/ methyl anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo(c)phenanthrene,
chrysene, benz(a)anthracene, methyl chrysenes, benzo fluoranthenes, benzo(a)-
pyrene, and benz(e)pyrene.  Anthracene and methyl anthracenes were the
predominant compounds.  Only four compounds were detected in the organic
module wash:  anthracene, fluoranthene, chrysene,  and benzo fluoranthenes.
Of these,chrysene was highest.

4.6     GAS TURBINES
        Two gas turbine combined cycle systems were tested.  A combined cycle
consists of a gas turbine and a steam boiler.  The gas turbine exhaust is used
as the combustion air for the boiler.  The boiler therefore recovers waste
heat from the gas turbine exhaust.
4.6.1   Combined Cycle Gas Turbine, Location 7/3
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The combined cycle unit at Location 7 includes a General Electric
12.5 MW gas turbine supplying combustion air to the windbox of a fired boiler.
The boiler is a 150 MW (233,300 kg steam flow/hr or 515,000 Ib/hr)  B&W unit
which is capable of using either gas turbine exhaust or forced draft fans for
combustion air.  All tests conducted during this program were with combined
cycle operation and firing gas fuel.  The boiler has eight burners, 2 rows of
4 burners each, which fire refinery gas under normal operating conditions.
        Emissions Sampling—
        Measurements were made in the gas turbine exhaust  (boiler combustion
air) and in the boiler exhaust duct.  The instrumentation laboratory was set .
up so that simultaneous measurements were taken of the gas turbine exhaust
and the boiler flue gas.  Gas turbine exhaust measurements were made in the
duct connecting the gas turbine with the boiler windbox and boiler flue gas
was measured in the duct between the boiler and stack.  The heated sample
line was connected to the boiler flue gas duct so that HC, SO,, and NO  are
                                                             id*        4\
measured only at the boiler exit.  The initial traverse of the GT exhaust duct
showed no gradients in gas composition across the duct, so a single probe with
an unheated sample line was used to sample the GT exhaust.  The boiler exhaust,
however, showed significant variations in composition across the duct due to
windbox design, so six probes were installed (one with heated sample line) to
assure a representative sample.  Some difficulty was encountered in obtaining
stable load conditions due to turbine generator problems.
                                     207

-------
        Baseline Emissions—
        Table 4-58 summarizes the results of emissions tests on this unit.
The fuel analysis is presented in Table 4-59.  Baseline NO  emissions from
the gas turbine at 10 MW were 96.9 ng/J (190 ppm, 3% 0_)  and from the boiler
at 91% of rated steam flow were 59,2 ng/J (118 ppm, 3% 0_).   The heat input
for "Joules" in ng/J is based only on the gas turbine fuel for gas turbine
emissions but is based on the total fuel to both gas turbine and boiler for
the boiler exit emissions.  The gas turbine fuel heat release was 20.7% of the
total fuel heat input.  Therefore, the NO  mass flow from the gas turbine was
                                         X
increased by 200% in the boiler.  Total particulate emissions from the boiler
stack were 20.8 ng/J (0.0048 lb/106 Btu}.
        Combustion Modifications—
        In the as-found condition, all boiler burner registers were 60% open?
appreciable amounts of CO were measured.  Combustion modifications performed
on the boiler consisted of air register adjustments and removal of one of the
eight burners from service.  Air register adjustment reduced boiler stack CO
from 401 ppm at baseline to 12 ppm but increased NO  by 8%.   Removal of the
                                                   X
burner  (No. 5} from service decreased boiler stack NO  by 14%.  These NO
                                                     X                  X
changes correspond to a 156% increase in NO  mass flow in the boiler.  Com-
pared to the baseline test, there was a 22% decrease in NO  formed in the
boiler.
        The combined cycle unit exhibited large gradients in O  concentration
and high CO levels in the "as-found" condition due to the windbox design.  The
tests showed that air register adjustment can improve the CO problem at higher
loads and eliminate CO at lower loads.

4.6,2   Combined Cycle Gas Turbine, Location 8
        Equipment Characteristics—
        The test unit at Location 8 was a combined cycle gas turbine unit used
for plant power generation.  The gas turbine was a refinery gas fueled unit
made by General Electric and rated at 35.46 MW.  The gas turbine exhaust was
used for combustion air for the supplementary fired boiler.  The boiler was a
Babcock & Wilcox unit rated at 200 MW (1,538,000 Ib/hr or 697 505 kg/hr).   Engi-
neering data for the boiler are presented as follows:
        Steam capacity                697 500 kg/hr     (1,538,000 Ib/hr)

The boiler has 16 burners, 4 rows of 4 burners each.  Combustion air can be
supplied by the gas turbine exhaust, forced draft fan or a combination of the
two.  A schematic of the unit is presented in Figure 4-69.
        Emissions Sampling—
        Measurements were made in the gas turbine exhaust  (boiler combustion
air) and in the boiler exhaust duct.  The instrumentation laboratory was set
up so that simultaneous measurements were taken of the turbine exhaust and the
boiler flue gas.  Gas turbine exhaust measurements were made in the duct
connecting the gas turbine with the boiler windbox and boiler flue gas was
measured in the boiler stack.  The heated sample line was connected to the
boiler stack so that HC, S09-, and NO  are measured only at the boiler exit.
                           itL        X
The initial traverse of the GT exhaust duct showed no gradients in gas composi-
tion across the duct, so a single probe with an unheated sample line was used
to sample the GT exhaust.  Six sample probes were installed in the boiler
stack to assure a representative sample.  These lines were unheated.

        Particulate tests were conducted at the baseline condition with the
boiler firing refinery gas and also with 10 of 16 burners firing No. 2 oil.
Smoke spot and opacity readings were made when the unit was firing oil.
Plume opacity readings indicated a clear stack on oil.  Table 4-60 summarizes
the results of the emission tests on this unit.  Fuel gas samples were taken
during the testing and an analysis of the composition is given in Table 4-61.
        Baseline Tests—
        Baseline conditions for the gas turbine at 27 MW, 17.0% O  were

lb/10  Btu) when firing gas and 10.7 ng/J (0.0249 lb/10  Btu) when firing
oil in the boiler.
        Combustion Modifications--
        The combustion modification tests on the combined cycle unit consisted
of air register adjustments and burner out-of-service tests while firing gas
fuel.  Air register adjustment did not result in lower NO  emissions.  Several
burner patterns were tried with burners out of service.  A 12% reduction in
NO  resulted from two burners out of service with the registers in the normal
  .X,
position.  With four burners out of service (no load change)  and the fresh
air damper closed, the NO  was reduced approximately 38%.
        The design of gas turbine engines does not allow for field combustion
modifications.  However, where the gas turbine exhausts through a fired waste
heat boiler, the opportunity exists to reduce total emissions through combus-
tion adjustments of the boiler.  For this test, the gas turbine generated NO
was about 33 kg/h (73 Ib/hr).  Total baseline NO  emission was about 98 kg/h
                                                2C
(216 Ib/hr) or an additional 65 kg/h (143 Ib/hr) added by the boiler.  At the
low NO  condition, gas turbine NO  was still 33 kg/h, but total NO  was reduced
      XX                                X
to 61 kg/h  (134 Ib/hr).  While the total NO  was reduced by 37%, the boiler-
generated NO  was reduced by 56%.

                                RECOMMENDATIONS

        The combustion modification and emission measurement tests conducted
in this program have provided a basis for recommendations for the purposes
of planning future research.  These recommendations concern areas of investi-
gation that were outside of the scope of the current program, but are con-
sidered essential to the objective of reduced emissions from"industrial com-
bustion equipment.  Most of the suggestions are logical extensions of the
completed work and are concerned with combustion modifications that require
more extensive hardware alterations than were possible in the existing
contract.
5.1     AREAS REQUIRING ADDITIONAL WORK
        The survey of emissions data and literature (Appendix A) indicates
that the major industries with high emissions are petroleum refining, wood
products, cement, chemicals, and metals.  Not all of these industries are
desirable candidates for additional combustion modification work since the
total emissions may be fragmented among many individual devices of different
design.  This is particularly true in the chemicals industry.  The most cost
effective approach is to concentrate on devices that make up a large segment
of their industry's emissions and are somewhat adaptable to combustion con-
trol.  Consideration should be given to process heaters, wood/bark boilers,
cement kilns, and metals producing furnaces.  The major emphasis should
also be on devices where existing technology is not totally adequate? i.e.,
where combustion modifications were of limited effectiveness in the current
program and where new approaches and technology development are required.
        Process heaters were estimated to be highest in annual NO  emissions
                                                                 X
from the sources considered.  Cement kilns are high in NO , SO  , and parti-
                                                         3C    X
culates although the latter two emissions are process or fuel related and
difficult to control with combustion modifications.  Wood boilers are also

                                     216

-------
high in NO  emissions and there is reason to believe that current NO  control
technology for boilers will be difficult to apply to these devices.  The
metals producing industry has more fragmented emissions among several devices
such as furnaces, smelters, heat treat ovens, etc.  However, soaking pits
and reheat furnaces are estimated to contribute a major portion of the NO
emissions from steel making operations.
        The industrial combustion devices requiring the most attention
initially are process heaters.  Their energy use is large and their emissions,
particularly NO , on an annual basis are significant.  Most important, the
natural draft refinery heaters do not lend themselves readily to conventional
combustion modifications where significant emissions reduction can usually
be achieved by operational changes that modify the firing practice.  Hard-
ware configuration and process constraints have prevented the successful
application of fuel-rich firing modes with burners out-of-service or over-
fire air ports.  Low excess air firing has met with limited success and more
sophisticated methods such as flue gas recirculation were not possible since
units were not available with these provisions and hardware modifications
were outside of the scope of the current study.  Natural draft units pose
specific contraints in terms of a'iir control mixing and draft requirements
that inhibit the application of low-NO  modes.'  However, based on American
and Japanese development efforts, significant emissions reductions may be
possible in many cases by relatively minor burner hardware modifications.

        The success of these low NO  and low excess air designs suggests
that significant NO  reductions may also be possible on a retrofit basis
for existing units.  Although process heaters are of primary concern,
similar conditions exist with kilns  and furnaces where minor hardware
modifications may well be the most cost-effective approach to emissions
control through combustion modification.
                                      217

-------
5.2    RECOMMENDED PROGRAM .OBJECTIVES

        A Phase II effort is recommended to follow the current indus-
trial combustion devices program with these additional objectives:

1.      Define and evaluate combustion modification concepts
        requiring relatively minor hardware modifications to
        control emissions on four major combustion device
        categories.

2.  ,    Examine the process constraints that may inhibit the
        application of these concepts and select the approaches
        showing the most promise.

3.      Demonstrate the feasibility of the concept for retrofit
        applications by conducting subscale reduced emissions
        demonstration tests.

4.      Establish the cost/benefit factors of candidate combus-
        tion modification concepts from an emissions, fuel-effi-
        ciency, and operations impact standpoint.

5.     . Conduct full-scale combustion modification demonstration
        tests in the field on units made available by cooperating
        industries.

6.      Evaluate emissions and operational performance data in
        combination with cost/benefit analyses to recommend an
        approach (or priority of approaches) for a given combus-
        tion device.

7.      Prepare a final engineering report that documents the
        engineering development of the recommended combustion
        concepts in a manner that will maximize technology
        transfer to the relevant burner and process equipment
        manufacturers.

5.3     PROPOSED PROGRAM SCOPE

        The recommended Phase II program differs from the completed program
by involving hardware modifications that would require more time and funds

than are currently available.  This is not a fundamental combustion or hard-

ware development program since a majority of the concepts to be examined will

fall in the category of retrofit burner modifications.  The most complex task

proposed is that of instituting flue gas recirculation on a process heater
                                  218

-------
which admittedly will require some extensive duct modifications.  In most
cases, the modifications considered will concern optimization of existing
design parameters to minimize NO  and can be implemented in most cases with
relatively minor equipment substitutions.
        The first major element of the recommended program is the feasibility
demonstrations at the subscale level which could best be performed in coopera-
tion with a major burner manufacturer.  The purpose for these demonstration
tests is two-fold.  It provides a proving ground for a combustion modification
concept prior to its use on a full-scale field unit which is committed to a
process.  It also allows the engineering personnel and -the burner manufacturer
to optimize the approach so that they can speak with confidence when approach-
ing industries to provide units for modification.  The latter is the key
to the success of the program;  commercial industry will  be more receptive
to an emissions reduction concept if it has been proven on a full-scale
process.  In the same manner, individual industries are more willing to
provide a production unit for demonstration of a combustion concept if it
has been developed previously on a smaller scale.  For these reasons, the
subscale feasibility demonstrations are considered a major part of the program.
While 'they are taking place, it will also provide sufficient time to acquaint
potential host equipment owners with the objectives of the program and to
solicit their cooperation in providing volunteer units.
        The second major element of the recommended program is the field
demonstration tests to confirm the effectiveness of the candidate NO  control
                                                                    x
concepts on full-scale operational units.  The objective is not only to
demonstrate the feasibility of the concept on a specific unit design, but
also to show that the concept has a wide range of application by additional
tests on other basic combustion device configurations.  The added experience
with more than one unit will provide a broader base of understanding and
emissions data concerning the modification and will also increase industry's
ability to adopt new emissions control technology.
                                     219

-------
5.4     TECHNICAL APPROACH
        Combustion nodification and emission measurement tests are essential
to the objective of reduced emissions from the four major categories of
combustion devices recommended for the Phase II program.  Process heaters
were identified as one of the largest contributors and also as one with
design configurations that made it difficult to apply existing modified
firing practice methods that have proven attractive on industrial and utility
boilers.  To illustrate the technical approach that should be followed in
Phase II, the process heater category was selected for a more detailed dis-
cussion of candidate combustion modification concepts.  A final technical
scope of work should contain a similar attention to -concepts attractive for
kilns and furnaces. 'The primary intention is to indicate the type of
modified combustion concepts that could be considered, recognizing that
these ideas are preliminary in nature.
5.4.1   Background on Process Heater Combustion Modifications
        The application of combustion modification methods to process heaters
for emissions reduction is more difficult than it is on industrial or utility
boilers because of several basic differences in design configurations.  One
of the major limitations in combustion control on process heaters is the
fairly widespread use of natural draft designs.  Total pressure drops through
the heater and across the burner are quite small  O 125 Pa, 0.5" HO) and any
air flow adjustment or modification, that creates a positive pressure in the
top.of the heater could result in casing leaks and structural damage to the
unit.  In addition, process heaters tend to have large numbers of burners
to achieve even heat distribution and therefore it is more difficult to
implement a burner's out-of-service low HO  firing mode.  The low velocity,
more laminar nature of the air flow tends to' inhibit mixing between the fuel-
rich in-service burners and the air-only burners, which also tends to produce
long flame zones and less even heat distribution.  If the process heater
firebox is not high enough to permit complete fuel burnout prior to entering
the convective passes, an undesirable condition with flame impingement or
carryover may occur.
                                     220

-------
        The problems outlined above exist to a lesser extent on most moderate
to larger sized boilers where forced draft operation provides the opportunity
to control both the air and the fuel, and with more turbulence and mixing.
Boilers frequently have fewer burners (for the same unit heat rate) which
are easier to control and much larger changes in local air/fuel ratio and
flow rate can be made without influencing final steam, temperatures and unit
performance.  In addition, most utility size boilers have very high furnace sec-
tions which provide an adequate combustion length to accommodate fuel-rich
combustion without flame carryover.  For these reasons, some low NO  firing
modes which are well suited for boiler applications are less adaptable to
process heaters.
        The previous discussion has briefly identified some of the limitations
encountered in achieving significant emissions reductions in natural-draft
process heaters through minor operational combustion modifications in the
field.  However, significant NO  reductions may be possible through relatively
minor component modifications that would be attractive for implementation in
the field on a retrofit basis.  The purpose of this discussion is to identify
these concepts and briefly examine their principle of operation and relative
attractiveness for field implementation.
5.4.2   Combustion Modification approaches
        There are two general approaches that initially deserve consideration
in performing combustion modifications on process 'heaters.  In natural draft
devices, the air flow, mixing, and flame shape are intimately interrelated;
air flow adjustments to alter burner stoichiometry have a negative
impact on the other parameters.   Therefore,  consideration should be given to
varying burner stoichiometry by adjusting the fuel and air flow parameters that
control the mixing.   Another approach to limiting NO  formation in the flame
                                                    X
zone is to control the local mixing and flame zone intensity by minor burner
design modifications to achieve more desirable temperature and stoichiometry
conditions.
                                     221

-------
        Low NO  burner configurations for process heaters have recently been
              X
developed in Japan and the United States for new units.  The purpose of the
proposed combustion modification study is to examine methods that could be
implemented on existing process heaters and compare these methods with burner
replacement on a minimum cost retrofit basis.  Several approaches recommended
for consideration are listed below:
        1.  Modified fuel injection
        2.  Controlled entrainment
        3.  Steam injection
        4.  Staged combustion
        5.  Flue gas recirculation
        6.  Modified atomization
        7.  Overfire air
        8.  Controlled heat withdrawal
5.5     SUPPORT AND DISCUSSION OF PROGRAM ELEMENTS
        A four-phase combustion modification feasibility task is recommended
to examine the range of application and to resolve any possible difficulties
at a scale that is less expensive to modify.  The initial phase of the
recommended task would concern further definition and evaluation of the con-
cepts with analytical examination of the requisite fluid mechanics, heat
               • i
transfer, "etc.  This would be followed by an examination of the process
constraints, the adaptability to a range of existing heater designs, and' any
unusual performance requirements.  Assuming that the concept still remained
attractive, it would be tested on a single burner research test stand over
a range of operating parameters that would adequately define its emissions
performance and limitations.  The support of the burner manufacturers and
process heater manufacturers would be a prerequisite for this effort.  Prior
to the full scale tests, a fourth phase concerning cost/benefit calculations
of the combustion modifications from an emissions, efficiency, and operational
impact standpoint should be considered.  With this background and support of
the equipment manufacturers, considerably less difficulty should be encountered
in acquiring a full-scale process heater for modification.
                                      222

-------
        The combustion modifications proposed (with the exception of Nos.  5,
7, and 8)  are not major burner redesigns but rather are a refinement of
existing designs.  If the development of a concept requires significant
research funding to achieve a significant emissions reduction,  it will be
considered outside the scope of the present study and will be recommended
for individual research support.  The primary objective of the  study is to
identify process operational and design parameters that affect emissions and
efficiency and then establish the approximate range of desirable operation
for subsequent full scale demonstration tests.

                                ABSTRACT

        This appendix presents the results of a literature survey of
industrial combustion devices.  The objective of this survey was to
recommend a set of devices for subsequent field testing wherein combus-
tion control techniques would be developed to reduce air pollutant
emissions and,- hopefully, simultaneously increase device operating
efficiency.
        The survey was accomplished primarily through personal contacts
with device manufacturers and device users.  Additional useful infor-
mation was obtained from the national associations representing
manufacturers and users.
        This appendix presents the approach used in identifying the
set of combustion devices and, in essence, first-ranked industries in
terms of air pollutant emissions and energy usage and then identified
the significant combustion" devices within the high ranking industries.
The recommended combustion devices were then described in some detail
in order to assist in characterizing a representative unit(s).  The
second task of the overall program involved physically locating these
units for the field testing activity.

                           INTRODUCTION AMD SUiMMARY

        A  study was conducted to establish a set of significant  industrial
 combustion devices for  subsequent  field testing during this program.  Major
 inputs  to  the  effort were  a  literature survey and personal contacts with
 device  manufacturers and users.  Contacts were also made with national
 associations representing  the users.
        The approach selected for  the recommendation process involved con-
 sideration of  both air  pollutant emissions and energy usage within major
 industries and then searching these industries for the significant combustion
 devices involved.  As will be explained, this approach was deemed more direct
 than  first considering  the devices emissions and energy usage and then
 determining those industries which employed the devices.
        The industries  and significant combustion devices thus established
 are shown  in Table A-l-1.
        Combustion devices of the  "dryer" type were not recommended since
 their air  pollutant emissions, as  found in the literature, were  minor
 compared to the above devices.
        It is  further noted  that open hearth and heat-treating furnaces
•are common to  both the  steel foundry and iron and steel activities.  This
 commonality of usage will  allow a  carryover of testing results from one
 industry to the other.
        Data necessary  to  identify representative units in each  of the
 above categories were found  to be  very limited or nonexistent.   As opposed
 to conventional boilers that are fairly well defined as to type, size, etc.,
 many  industrial combustion devices are one-of-a-kind fabricated  to specific
 proprietary specifications.  However, it was possible to define  certain
 characteristics as representative  in the various categories to a degree
 sufficient to  select units suitable for testing.

                              SECTION A-2.0

                                APPROACH

        The primary objective of the survey effort was the preparation
of a list of industrial combustion devices recommended for field testing.
The following steps were followed to secure this objective:

        1.  Identify those industries which are major sources of
            air pollutant emissions.

        2.  Identify those industries which are major purchasers
            of fossil fuel energy.

        3.  Rank those industries which are both major sources of
            air pollutant emissions and purchasers of fossil fuel
            energy.

        4.  Prepare a list of significant combustion devices involved
            in the top ranked industries from step 3.  These devices
            will be those which are the major emission sources and
            energy consumers within their respective industries.
            Comprehensive listings of stationary combustion devices,
            such as reported in Reference A-2-1, were employed as a
            guide in establishing, at least on a generic basis, a
            checklist of potentially significant devices.

        5.  Modify this list (step 4)  by deleting those combustion
            devices whose emissions are due to the material being
            processed and not a result of the combustion process.

        6.  Again  modify the step 4 list by including those devices
            which by reason of an anticipated high level of
            commonality offer a widespread usage of emission control
            techniques obtained on a limited number of tests.

        7.  Prepare the final listing of devices recommended for
            field testing.

        This approach was adopted since air pollutant emissions contained

in the EPA NEDS listing (Ref.A-2-2) are grouped by industry and then by
device type within the industry.  Furthermore, the energy usages

contained in Reference A-2-3 are structured by industry groupings only
and not by device type within the industry.  Thus, it was impractical
to undertake an approach which concentrated at the device level and

then associated the devices with specific industrial applications.

                                235

-------
        Simultaneously, contacts were made with national user's
associations, device manufacturers, and the users themselves in
order to obtain more specific information about those devices
recommended for field testing.  (Table A-2-1 is a listing of those
organizations contacted.)  Information requested from these sources
consisted of:
        .  Device and burner operational characteristics
        .  Number distribution vs. device rating and geographical
           location
           Current fuel usage and trends
           Trends in equipment type, rating and age
           Limitations in equipment use.
This, and other information, was required to establish the groundwork
for selecting representative units for field test.   (The selection
process is performed during Task 2.)  The selection of a truly
representative unit is of prime importance when the schedule permits
testing of only a single unit, i.e., the selection must be very
carefully made to allow the widest applicability of combustion control
techniques.
        In this survey, conventional boilers burning only natural gas,
fuel oil, or coal were excluded since previous EPA programs have been
directed to those devices.  However, boilers burning unusual fuels
such as black liquor, wood bark, carbon monoxide, or process gases
were considered.

                          INDUSTRY EMISSION RANKING
        The industry ranking by yearly NO  emission rates was accomplished
                                         X
with the NEDS information (Ref. A-2-2).  NO  emissions are those produced
                                           X
primarily by the combustion process (nitrogen fixation)  and, therefore,
can be reduced by modifications in the combustion process.  Reduced air pre-
heat, delayed combustion, off-stoichiometric operation,  etc., can be employed
to reduce NO  production in the flame.  NO  can also be formed from nitrogen
            <**>                             X
organically bound in the fuel.  This source of NO  is more difficult to control.
SO  production directly reflects the amount of sulfur present in the fuel and
cannot be controlled by combustion modifications.  While it is true that the
combustion process can affect the production of incompletely reacted species
(hydrocarbons, HC, and carbon monoxide, CO) to some extent, the ranking system
focused on NO  as the indicator.  Each of the industry listings was evaluated
and retained if it involved a combustion device.  Even then, some listings
were deleted if the majority of the NO  emissions could be attributable to the
process or process material and not to the combustion device.  For example,
the production of nitric acid involves a combustion device but the majority
of the NO  emissions originate in the process material.   In this instance the
NEDS information on nitric acid production was not included in the chemical
manufacturing industry total.
        A problem arises if the NEDS format is strictly followed in that
such devices as wood boilers, reciprocating engines and gas turbines are
not associated with any specific industry grouping.  Rather/  they are
contained under the general headings of External Combustion - Industrial
Boiler and Internal Combustion - Industrial, respectively.  These devices are
noted to be large emitters, especially of NO , and they are included in the
                                            X
combustion device ranking discussed in Section A-8.  For the purposes of
ranking industrial emissions,'the NEDS listing for wood/bark boilers was
assigned to the wood pulp and pulpboard industry grouping.
                                     238

-------
        The results of this ranking are presented in Table A-3-1 and indicate,
                                                                          Q
for example, that the petroleum refining industry ranks first with 9.69x10
kg/year (1,065,526 tons/year) of NO ,  about a factor of 10 higher than the
                                   X
other categories.  In addition, process heaters account for 91% of the
petroleum refining industry NO  production.
                              X
        Also of note from Table A-3-1  is that the NO  emissions from the
                                                    x
petroleum refining, wood pulp and pulpboard, and cement industries amount
to over 95% of the total for the seven industries listed and that process
heaters, wood/bark boilers, and kilns  are three important combustion devices
involved.   The glass industry, although ranking last in NO  emissions, is
                                                          .X
represented by a single type of combustion device.  Thus, there exists a
strong potential for industry-wide application of emission reduction
techniques evaluated on a  limited number of glass furnaces.
        No attempt was made to critically assess the NEDS data summaries to
determine whether they truly represent total national emissions.  Possible
data entry errors and the  fact that the file may not include all sources
requires that the data be  viewed with caution.

                             ENERGY CONSIDERATIONS

        In addition to emission rates, consideration was also given to energy
utilization on an industry basis.  Information obtained by the Bureau of the
Census during 1971 and published in Reference A-2-3 was used in this assess-
ment.  It is noted that these data apply only to industry groupings and not
to the device within the industry consuming the energy.
        As presented, the data in Reference A-2-3 specifically addresses
quantities of fossil and electric energy purchased for heat and power by the
industry groupings and, therefore, does not necessarily imply an equivalence
to energy consumed.  The difference between energy purchased and consumed
can be the result of such things as combustion of feedstock waste material.
The pulp and paper industry, in addition to purchasing energy, produces a
significant amount of its energy requirements from waste product boilers.
This energy source is not tabulated in Reference A-2-3 but is very important
when considering the industry's total energy requirements.
        Petroleum refineries consume energy equivalent to approximately 8%
of the energy contained in the crude feedstock.  This amounts to approxi-
mately 2911x10   joules/year* while the purchased energy quoted in Reference
A-2-3 for SIC 29 was 1600x10   joules/year for 1971.  Thus, purchased energy
in a petroleum refinery amounts to 55.0% of the total consumed with the balance
being obtained principally from by-product refinery gas.  Similarly, the
pulp, paper and paperboard industry for 1975 consumed 1950x10   joules/year
and purchased 1111x10   joules/year, or 57.1% (Ref. A-4-15.  Black liquor
recovery boilers and wood-bark boilers are the main sources of the internally
generated energy in this industry.
* 1015 J = 0.948xl012 Btu
                                     241

-------
        In other industries, e.g.,  glass, there is essentially no
difference between energy consumed and energy purchased since there
are no waste or by-product combustion sources available to
supplement fossil fuel and electricity.
        A major objective of this program is to achieve greater
efficiency in industrial combustion devices.  This increased efficiency
can be equated to a decrease in purchased energy requirements since
those devices operating on waste or by-product sources will still be
using all of these sources available regardless of device efficiency
improvements.  Thus, ranking of the industries was accomplished on
the basis of purchased energy, with the results presented in Table
A-4-1.

                COMPARISON BSTWEENEMISSION AND ENERGY RANKINGS

        A comparison between Tables A-3-1 and A-4-1 indicates that, in general,
those industries which are large NO  emission sources are also large consumers
of purchased energy.  For example, the petroleum refining, wood pulp and pulp-
board, and cement industries which rank 1, 2, and 3 as NO  emitters rank 3,
                                                         «rC
4, and 5 as energy purchasers.  Thus, device efficiency improvement techniques
in these three industries could also have a significant impact on national
emission rates if both program objectives could be simultaneously satisfied.

                                 SECTION A-6,0
                            INDUSTRY RECOMMENDATIONS
        Based on an assessment of both NO  emissions and energy usage,
                                         •**                        ,
the following industries should be studied to determine the important combus-
tion devices involved;
           Petroleum refining
           Wood pulp and pulpboard
           Cement
           Steel foundry
           Iron and steel
           Chemical manufacturing
           Glass container
        The glass container industry is recommended on the basis of an
anticipated commonality between furnaces, i.e., this industry utilizes a
single major type of combustion device with the device consuming a large
majority (approximately 70%) of the entire glass container industry energy
requirement.  Further, it is noted from Reference A-2-2 that glass container
industries  (SIC 3221) purchased 50% of the total energy attributable to:  flat
glass (SIC 3211); glass containers (SIC 3221); pressed and blown glass  (SIC
3229); and products of purchased glass (SIC 3231).  For these reasons the above
recommendations include only the glass container aspect of the glass industry.
                                    243

-------
                              SECTION A-7.0

             COMPARISON WITH OTHER INDUSTRY RECOMMENDATIONS

        A previous study performed under contract for the EPA
(Ref. A-7-1) developed a list of industries based on the following

criteria;

           Use large amounts of process heat directly from fossil
           fuel combustion

           Relatively large emitters of combustion-related air
           pollutants

           High potential for reducing energy consumption and air
           pollutant emission.

Based on .these criteria the following industries were selected for
further analysis in that study:

           Iron and steel  (all energy-using processes)

           Cement (primarily kiln operation)

           Glass  (melting, foreheater operation, annealing)

           Aluminum  (primary, melting, reheating, secondary production)

           Petroleum refining.

        The paper and paperboard manufacturing industry, although a

laxge consumer of energy, was not selected in the previous study because
95% of  its energy is consumed in boilers for production of steam?
this operation is already highly efficient.  Thus, it was concluded that

there is a low potential for reduction in energy consumption.

        The present study does not concur in this observation for

two reasons:
            This industry ranks second in NOx emissions, only
            exceeded by petroleum refining.  Thus, any NOjj
            reduction would have significant national implications
            even if the device efficiency could not be increased
            by any amount.
                                  244

-------
        2.  This industry ranks fourth in energy consumption,
            of which 57.1% is purchased energy (the balance being
            produced by liquor recovery and wood/bark boilers),
            As shown in Section A-ll, a device efficiency improve-
            ment from 80% to 81% will result in a 2.26% reduction
            in purchased energy requirements which can be translated
            into a yearly savings of 3.4x10  barrels of residual
            oil—not an insignificant amount.  This savings  represents
            approximately 5% of this industry's yearly purchase of
            residual oil.
        An examination of the NEDS listing  (Ref.  A-2-2) for both primary
and secondary aluminum operations indicates that combustion generated
emissions are minor compared to those contained in Table A-3-1.  Indeed,
the values of NO  were 2.11x10  kg/year  (232 tons/year) which places
                .X.
the aluminum industry  (both primary and secondary operations) far
below the last ranked glass container industry in Table A-3-1,

        On a purchased fossil fuel energy basis Reference A-2-3 indicates
that for .1971 primary aluminum  (SIC 3334), aluminum rolling  and drawing
(SIC 3352), aluminum castings  (SIC 3361) and nonferrous forging  (SIC 3392),
purchased a total of 260x10   J of fossil fuel.  This places the aluminum
activities higher than glass container  (SIC 3221 with 140x10   J) but
lower than cement (SIC 3241 with 450xlQ15 J).
        In view of the low NO  emissions,, moderate fossil fuel consumption,
                             jC
and multiple combustion device types, the aluminum industry was not
recommended for field testing.
        The previous EPA study did not recommend the chemical manufacturing
industry because of the large number of processes and devices involved.
That is, although the industry as a whole is a large energy  consumer the
per unit consumption is small.
                                  245

-------
        The present study, while not addressing a per device energy con-
sideration, identified two combustion devices within the chemical manufac-
turing industry which are large emission sources.  One of these devices,
the ammonia reformer, is estimated to have a specific energy consumption
(energy/unit weight of product) that is greater than that required in the
cement industry.
        The "Chemical Manufacturing" industry is too broad to be considered
as a single entity.  However, this is no reason to ignore it since some
aspects of this industry  (specific processes) are identifiable by energy
consumption and emissions.
        The present study and that contained in the previous (Ref. A-7-1)
study agree on the remaining industries—iron and steel, cement, petroleum
refining and glass-^-as those industries that would benefit most from research
on emissions and energy consumption reductions.
                                     246

                              SECTION A-8.Q
                        COMBUSTION DEVICE RANKING

        An examination of each industry yielded a set of important com-
bustion devices employed in that industry.  These devices are ranked in
Table A-8-1 by NO  emissions and emissions of other criteria pollutants
obtained from the NEDS listing are shown.  In several instances this set
was composed of one member which accounted for nearly all the NO  emissions
for the entire industry.  In these instances there was no question as to
the type of device which would be selected for field testing.
        In essence, the combustion device ranking involves identifying
major equipment items in those industries which have already been
ranked as high emission sources and energy users.
        The process heater descriptor in the petroleum refining industry
is a general title for a family of devices which vary significantly in
configuration and operation depending on the type of process involved.
A more detailed examination of the process heater family was necessary
before specific unit types could be identified for field testing.
        The steel furnace device is used in the iron and steel, and steel
foundry industries.  There may exist some degree of commonality between the
two functions which will allow a more widespread use of emission reduction
techniques.
        As previously discussed, the glass container furnaces should be
included in the field testing schedule even though this industry ranks low
on a NO  emission basis.
       x
        An emission source, to be contained in the NEDS listing, must meet
certain requirements which consist of either the quantity of 'emissions (on
a weight per year basis)  or be used within a specified industrial activity.
This latter requirement is rather extensive in length and should preclude
"overlooking" an important (high emission)  industry.   It then follows that
there is a low probability of also overlooking a high ranking combustion
device.  However, there is no way of determining the degree to which all
existing industrial devices are actually entered in the NEDS data base system.

              COMBUSTION DEVICE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FIELD TEST

        Selection of devices for testing involved first searching for industries
which were large emitters, especially of NO , and large consumers of energy.
Then, each industry was examined to determine the type(s)  of combustion
device{s)  representing a significant fraction of the industry's emission.
Other considerations, such as device commonality, also entered into the
recommendation process.
        The program requires approximately 25 field tests and these were
allocated based on the relative NO  emissions of the devices but with a
                                  x
minimum of one test per device.  This proportioning procedure resulted in
the number of tests for each device (Table A-9-1).
        Table A-9-1 ranks devices by emissions and energy consumption.  In
the actual selection, suitability for comb'ustion modifications must also be
considered.

A-10.1  QUANTITY AND GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF FUELS USED


        Reference A-2-3 presents the quantities of fossil fuels purchased
by the two-digit SIC industries in each of the 50 states for 1971.  These

data were used to prepare Table A-10.1-1 which presents the fossil fuel
usage in the following important industries identified by the present

study:

        Paper and allied products - SIC 26
        Chemicals and allied products - SIC 28
        Petroleum and coal products - SIC 29
        Stone, clay, and glass products - SIC 32
        Primary metal industries - SIC 33
        Fabricated metal products - SIC 34

The fuels tabulated in Table A-10.1-1 are:

        Distillate fuel oil
        Residual fuel oil
        Coal, coke and breeze
        Natural gas

                                 251

The use of Table A-10.1-1 is illustrated by the following example:
        In the state of Alabama,  paper and allied products (SIC 26)
        purchased the equivalent of:
                  Q
        .  9.1 x 10  kw-hr of distillate fuel oil
        •  1.2 x 10  kw-hr of residual fuel oil
                  9
          6.6 x 10  kw-hr of coal, coke and breeze
        •  1.1 x 10   kw-hr of natural gas
        during 1971.
        As presented in Reference A-2-3 these  purchased fossil  fuel usages
cover only the two-digit SIC activities.  Thus, it was not possible to
extract similar information on, for example, the four-digit cement
activity  (SIC 3241).
        Table A-10.1-1 is intended to supply the bulk of the  geographic
fuel usage data in one central location within the report instead of
breaking the information down when discussing specific industrial
combustion devices.
                                  255

-------
A-10.2  CEMENT KILNS
        Major Manufacturers
        There are four major manufacturers of cement kilns:
          Allis-Chalmers (Wisconsin)
          Fuller (Pennsylvania)
          Polysius (Georgia)
          F. L. Schmidt (Pennsylvania)
These manufacturers can perform a "turn-key" operation; they will design
and construct an entire plant to the user's specifications.  In some
instances an engineering firm will do the design work.
        Associations
        There are no known associations of cement kiln manufacturers.  However,
the Portland Cement Association (Skokie, Illinois) represents the cement
manufacturers.
        Basic Equipment and Combustor Design  (Ref. A-10.2-1)
        Cement kilns are typically of the rotary  type and  in dimension can  be
up  to  183 m (600  ft) long and  7.6 m  (25  ft) in diameter constructed of a  refrac-
tory lined  metal  shell.  The axis of rotation is  tipped so that  the feed  end is
higher than the discharge end.  Typically a single burner  is fitted at the
discharge end with the exhaust gases passing  countercurrent to the  material
motion.
        Waste heat is extensively utilized, e.g.:
           Secondary combustion air  is preheated  in the process  of
           cooling the clinker  (kiln finished product)
           Waste  gas is used to preheat  the incoming raw materials  -
           a substantial amount of calcining  can  be performed in this
           manner
        .  Waste  gas can also be used in a steam  boiler.
Figure A-10.2-1 is a sketch of a. grate preheater  kiln system.

-------
        Wet or dry processes are used to produce most of United States'
cement production with the wet process accepting raw feed material which
contains 20% or more water.  The choice of a process for a cement kiln
is dictated by the water content of the raw materials available at the
plant location.
        Shortly after entering the kiln, the feed material encounters a
chain system (a series of long strands, garlands, or curtains of steel
chains fastened to the kiln shell).  The chains are alternately exposed
to hot exhaust gases and the feed slurry as the kiln rotates.  This
action causes an increased heat transfer rate to the slurry and also
assists in conveying the material down the length of the kiln.  A kiln
operating on the dry process may also contain a chain system for an
increased heat transfer rate.  Kiln speed affects the heat transfer
rate.
        As water evaporates, the material gradually is converted to
plastic modules, which the chains  convey further.  Slightly beyond
the end of the feed end chain system,  the water  is gone, and  the
dry raw feed progresses through preheating, calcining, and burning
zones.  The preheating zone  raises the temperature from  373  to  1173  K
 (212  to 1652 F) ; it also drives off combined water in the raw materials.
The calcining  zone decarbonates the calcium and  mangesium carbonates,
and the burning zone  (at 1533 K [2300  F] to 1866 K  [2900 F] material
temperature) causes the clinker-forming chemical reactions to occur.
The fresh clinker then travels through the cooling zone of the  rotary
kiln  and drops into a clinker cooler in which ambient air is  forced
through the hot clinker.  A  substantial portion  of this heated  air
is then used for combustion  of the fuel in the burning zone,  while
the cool clinker is eventually removed from the  cooler ready  for
finish grinding or intermediate storage.
                                      258

-------
        Material preheaters are stationary devices located upstream
from the kiln feed entrance.  The function of this device is to
initiate the calcining process using waste gas energy.  The preheater
may consist of a series of from one to five cyclones within which
the powder feed is flowing countercurrent to the exhaust gas-   The
highly turbulent motion is sufficient to induce 40-50% calcination
of the raw feed by the time it enters the rotary kiln.  In another
preheater configuration the feed is first processed into pellets which
are placed on a traveling grate which conveys the pellets toward
the kiln inlet.   At the same time, the kiln exhaust gases are passed
through the bed once, or more often twice, to dry, preheat, and
partially calcine the feed.
        Burners for cement kilns are produced in a variety of configurations
primarily depending on the type of fuel being used.  The burner is located
at the discharge end of the kiln on a non-rotating structure and may be
positioned above the kiln axis of rotation and directed toward the charge.
This positioning is necessary to avoid direct flame impingement on the
refractory lining.
        For operation on natural gas the burner may consist of a single
pipe which introduces the fuel coaxially within the primary airstreairt.
The burner is designed to produce complete combustion within the minimum
distance  ("short, hot flame"), or is adjustable to achieve a wide range
of flame shapes.  The latter is a result of injecting a central core of
natural gas (which will yield a long, narrow flame) and another stream
through radial holes (provides a very short, bushy flame).   By varying
the percentage of flow between these two streams, any desired resultant
flame shape is obtained.
        For fuel oil, the mechanism is much the same.   One controlled
oil .stream flows to oil tips that provide a very long, narrow flame;  the
other oil stream flows to the tips that are wider in spray  angle.   A
typical adjustable oil burner will use six tips.
                                  259

-------
        Combination gas and oil adjustable kiln burners are designed so
that both gas and oil may be fired simultaneously.  This permits
changeover from one fuel to the other without shutdown.
        Burners are presently in service which permit the simultaneous
use of coke and either natural gas or fuel oil.  These same burners
are capable of using any of these fuels alone or substituting pulverized
coal for the coke.
        Development is proceeding on burners capable of using a coal-oil
slurry and a combination of refuse and natural gas.
        Approximately 90% of the cement kilns in -the United States
are presently capable of using more than one fuel.  (However, in
1975 only 77% of the kilns actually used more than one fuel type.)
The remaining kilns lack the storage or handling facilities (e.g.,
coal pulverizers, oil storage tanks) which would allow multiple
fuel usage, i.e., a facility problem rather than a kiln burner
inadequacy-

        Current Fuel Use, Trends and Properties
        Between 1960 and 1973, according to Reference A-10.2-1, there
was a gradual shifting away from the use of coal in the U.S. cement
industry.  During the same time period there were increases by factors
of 3.3 and 1.3 in the use of petroleum products and natural gas,
respectively.  However, in 1973 coal still supplied 39% of the
industry energy usage with petroleum products accounting for 15.6%
and natural gas for 45.4%.  Energy utilization information recently
released for 1975  (Ref. A-10.2-2)  indicates that  the fuel usage trend
has reversed to the extent that coal now supplies 48% of the energy
requirements with petroleum products and natural gas accounting for
9.4% and 42.6%, respectively.  Thus, between 1973 and 1975 the use of
coal has increased by 23% while the use of petroleum products and natural
gas has decreased by 40% and  6%, respectively, in supplying the energy
needs of the cement industry.
                                  260

-------
        Again between 1960 and 1973 kiln energy consumed per unit weight
of cement produced decreased by 12%; this decrease is partly attributable to
the proportionately greater use of the less energy intensive dry process.

        Trends In Equipment Type, Age, Siza, and Use
        Since 1965, according to Reference A-10.2-1, there has been a
small shifting toward the use of the less energy intensive dry process.
In 1975  (Ref. A-10.2-2) the dry process accounted for 42% of the industry
production, an increase from the 1965 level of 39.6%.
        Table A-10.2-1,  from information contained in Reference  A-10.2-1,
shows the present kiln capacity broken down by year built.  It is
concluded from these data that the newer kilns are being built in
larger capacities.  Table A-10.2-2 is the present kiln population by
capacity and process with the size ranges between 46 x lo  kg/year
and  320  x  10  kg/year containing the greatest number.
        There are no data available giving the trend in kiln age;
however, the arithmetically average kiln was built in 1955, i.e.,
20-21 years old.

        Total__jNumbe_r and Geographical Distribution
        hs of December 31, 1975 there were 412 cement kilns in the
                                 Q                   f~
United States producing 85.0 x 10  kg/year  (93.5 x 10  short tons/year)
of cement.  Reference A-10.2-3 details the distribution of the kilns by
company and geography, and Table A-10.2-3 herein lists the number of
kilns and total capacity  (wet and dry) by state.

        Limitations In Equipment Uses and Fuels
        There are no limitations on the type of fuel used.  Indeed,
as previously mentioned approximately 90% of the cement kilns are
capable of operating with more than one fuel type.

-------
        According to Reference A-10.2-1,  most of the cement industry is
potentially an ideal consumer of higher-sulfur fuels, particularly
bituminous coal, a commodity which,  for environmental reasons,  is not
acceptable for power generating plants or other applications.   Because
of the nature of the process, cement manufacturers  can use  higher-sulfur
fuels without the SO  emission problems experienced by power plants,
                    X
and such use is in progress at some  plants.   During formation of cement
clinker, lime-rich materials are present  throughout the kiln.   These
                                       f
reactive materials are capable of combining  with sulfur oxides  formed
by combustion of the fuel.  In effect, the sulfur from the  fuel becomes
part of the cement clinker rather than being emitted into the atmosphere,

        Air Pollutant Emissions
        The air pollution emissions  from cement kilns, as contained in
the NEDS listing (Ref. A-2-2), were  shown in Table  A-8-1.  Cement kilns
are ranked fourth in NO  emissions.   Particulate emissions  are  highest
of all the classes indicated.  HC and CO  emissions  are relatively low
because of the  long residence  time  in the kiln.  SO   emissions  shown
                                                   A
are high in spite of the expected natural scrubbing.   Some  cement feed
materials may  provide  the scrubbing action.

A-10.3  QIASS CONTAINER FUBNAC1S
        Major Manufactures
        There are two major manufacturers of glass container furnaces:
          Toledo Engineering (Toledo, Ohio)
          Anderson Construction  (Pico Rivera, California) .
Each of these organizations will design and build the furnace to the
user's specifications or the user may do the design work.  In either
event, the burners are furnished by another supplier  (of which there
are 75) or will be built directly for the user by a local shop.

        Associations
        There are no known associations representing the furnace
manufacturers.  However, the Glass .Packaging Institute (Washington, D.C.)
represents the users.

        Basic Equipment and Cotnbustor Design
        The furnaces are divided into two parts .   The  first part
melts the raw materials at high temperature and the second part refines
     * *
the molten glass at a lower temperature.  Two burners are fitted in the
end-port configuration  (wherein the flame is directed the length of the
furnace) and multiple burners are used in the side-port arrangement
 (the flame being directed across the width of the  furnace),  Natural
gas is the primary fuel with No. 2 oil or propane  as a standby fuel. •
Regenerative air preheaters are employed and consist of refractory
brick checker work located at one end of an end port furnace and on
each side of a side-port furnace.  Figure A-10.3-1 is a sketch of a
side-port glass container furnace showing these major components,
while Figure A-10.3-2 shows two types of burner configurations.
        Electric boosting can be used to increase  the production of a
furnace.  Thus, the production of a fossil  fueled  furnace, which is
designed  to meet a certain market demand, can be increased  to meet  an
increased market demand.

         Natural  gas  fired annealing kilns are the next largest energy
 consumers  in the glass  container industries and are used to stress
 relieve  the  finished glass products.

         Current  Fuel Use,  Trends and Properties
         Table A-10.3-1,  reproduced  from Reference A-10.3-1,  presents  the
 energy utilization, in the glass container industry for the years 1971,
 1973,  and  1974.   During this time period the percentage use of natural
 gas has decreased while that of both distillate and residual fuel oils
 has increased; this  reflects the limited supply of natural gas.   The
 total  energy consumption has been estimated to have increased by 17.6%
 for the 1971-1974 time  period (Ref. A-10.3-1).

         Trends In Equipment Type,  Age,  Size and Use
         No trends in equipment type were found since  each furnace is
 designed and built to meet the needs of a particular  manufacturer.
 Extensive research has been, and is being, carried out to affect energy
 conservation in the glass container industry.   These  areas  include:
        using exhaust gas to batch preheat the  incoming load
        pelletizing the incoming load to more effectively allow
        preheating
                                   269

-------
    .  proper burner positioning to eliminate flame impingement
       use of oxygen enhancement to maintain flame temperature
       while reducing fuel requirements
       placing the burners at the bottom of the furnace under
       the molten glass instead of having them above the molten
       glass.
It is not apparent that any of these research activities have been widely
incorporated into the furnaces.
        There is essentially little flexibility in glass container furnaces
since the choices in configuration are limited, e.g., end port vs. side port,
with/without electric boost, separately heated refining section or combustion
gas heating from melting section.
        The. furnace is rebuilt periodically since the sidewall insulation
wears thin with time and the regenerators become plugged with material carried
over from the furnace.  The time between rebuilds ("campaign") varies from 4
to 8 years with the shorter time period corresponding to furnaces which are
"pulled" harder (higher production rate).  After a campaign the furnace could
be rebuilt so as to satisfy a new market damand for glass containers.  Thus,
the average age of a furnace is 2-4 years old.   . .
        A leading glass container manufacturer has supplied representative
characteristics on their furnaces.  These data are presented in Table A-10.3-2,
        Total Number and Geographical Distribution
        According to Reference A-10.3-2 there-are 334 continuous glass
container furnaces in the continental United States.  Figure A-10.3-3 taken
from Reference A-10.3-1 shows the regional distribution of the 117 glass
container manufacturing plants.
        No detailed information was found on furnace capacities, since these
data are closely held in this competitive industry.

        Limitations In Equipment Uses and_ Fuels
        Present equipment limitations require that natural gas be used
in the refining section  (if separately heated), forehearth, and
annealing ovens.  Distillate oils can be substituted for natural gas
in the melting area of the furnace.
        Greater use of distillate oils is possible but only with
equipment specifically designed for oil operation.
        The use of electricity exclusively in the melter section is
possible once the charge has been brought to a molten state by a fossil
fuel source.  However, the total energy requirements are greater for
electricity than fossil fuels if the energy required to produce the
electricity is considered.
                                  272

-------
        Most likely coal will not be directly used in the furnace since the
fly ash would adversely affect glass quality.

        Air Pollutant Emissions
        The yearly air pollution emissions from glass furnaces was shown in
Table A-8-1.  The high level of particulate emissions is mostly due to entrain-
ment of glass batch particles by the exhaust gas stream.  The NEDS information
(Ref. A-2-2) does not differentiate the emissions by the type of glass (flat,
container, pressed or blown) being produced.

A-10.4  BLACK LIQUOR RECOVERY BOILERS

        Major Manufacturers
        There are two major manufacturers of black liquor recovery boilers
used in the sulfate (kraft) process for wood pulp:
          Babcock and Wilcox (Wilmington, North Carolina)
          Combustion Engineering (Chattanooga, Tennessee)
        Associations
        There are no known associations of black liquor recovery boiler
manufacturers.  However, both of the above manufacturers are members of the
American Boiler Manufacturers Association.  The Black Liquor Recovery Boiler
Advisory Committee serves the users in a safety advisory capacity.
        The American Paper Institute (New York, NY), Technical Association
Of The Pulp and Paper Industry (Atlanta, Georgia) and the National Council
For Air And Stream Improvement (New York, NY) represent the pulp and paper
manufacturers.
        Basic Equipment andCombustor Design  (Ref. A-10.4-1)
        These devices are used in" the recovery  (refining) of the caustic
chemicals from the wood pulp digesters.  The boilers require careful attention
to air distribution within the furnace to avoid excessive loss of the chemical
by oxidation.  Figure A-10.4-1 is a flow diagram of the kraft process and
Figure A—10.4-2 is a cross-sectional view of a recovery boiler.
        The black liquor, containing up to 60% by weight of organic material,
is sprayed onto the furnace walls by an oscillating nozzle where it is
dehydrated to form a char which drops to the furnace bottom.  The organic
material is carried upward through the furnace where it is burned with air
from secondary and tertiary ports.  Ash  (inorganic material) from the char
bed is exposed to a reducing atmosphere to convert its sodium sulfate to
sodium sulfide which is then collected in the furnace bottom as a molten
smelt.  The smelt is carefully kept from contact with a proportion of water
which would cause a violent reaction.

-------
        The use of supplemental fuels is limited to the boiler star~t and
warm-up cycle but may also be used for load sustaining.
        Current Fuel Use, Trneds and	Properties
        Aside from boiler start and warm-up only black liquor fuel is used.
Therefore, there was no data on fuel use, trends and properties.
        Trends In Equipment_Type, _Age_,..._S.iz_e_and_ Use
        Information supplied by Babcock and Wilcox (Ref. A-10.4-2) was used to
determine trends in recovery boiler rating (size) between 1954 and 1975 for
units installed in the United States.  These data are summarized in Table
A-10.4-1 with the number built and average BsW rating as a function of time.
(The non-dimensional B&W recovery boiler rating involves the:  weight of solids
in the liquor per weight of pulp; heating value of the solids; daily pulp
output; and a constant.  The trend in this rating factor, and not its magnitude,
is of interest for this discussion.  A unit measure of the BsW rating corresponds
to 5-,714 kW-hr/day (19.5x10  Btu/day) gross heat input to the furnace.)
        It is seen from Table A-10.4-1 that there has been a general increase
in the size (rating)  of the recovery boilers.   The "average" boiler was built
in 1964.
        Total Number and Geographic Distribution
        Information supplied by Babcock and Wilcox and Combustion
Engineering  (Refs. A-10.4-2 and A-10.4-3) was used to determine the
geographical distribution of recovery boilers by state.  Table A-10.4-2
presents the state-wide distribution of  the  274 units reported by
both manufacturers.  Also shown in Table A-10.4-2 is the distribution
of recovery boiler relative capacity which is directly proportional
to the furnace gross heat input.  In essence, the relative capacity
data presented in Table A-10.4-2  is an indicator of the amount of wood
pulp processed by each state.  The arithmetically average recovery
boiler has a gross furnace heat input of 2.80 x 10  kw-hr/day (9.56
x 109 Btu/day,  117 MW) .

        Limitations In Equipment Uses And Fuels
        There are no known limitations in either equipment or fuel
used.  However, operation of these devices, especially air distri-
bution,  is quite  important where  chemical  recovery efficiency and
safety  are concerned.

        Quantity And Geographic Distributions Of Fuel Used
        There was no specific information found concerning this subject.
Aside from device start and warm-up there is no other requirement for
fossil fuels.

        Air Pollutant Emissions
        Total yearly emissions from recovery boilers are shown in
Table A-8-1.  Ranked tenth in order of NO  emissions, recovery boilers
are sixth in magnitude of SO  emissions.  The high sulfur content of
the black liquor is the source of SO  as well as potential H S and
                                    3C                       <£
other reduced sulfur compounds.  Particulate emission levels are third
highest in the tabulation.  CO emission levels are ranked second follow-
ing iron and steel furnaces.

A-10.5  WOOD WASTE BOILERS
        Major Manufacturers
        The major manufacturers of wood waste (wood and bark) boilers
are:
        Babcock and Wilcox  (Wilmington,  North Carolina)
        Combustion Engineering (Chattanooga, Tennessee)
        Foster Wheeler (Livingston, New Jersey)
        Riley Stoker (Worcester,  Massachusetts)
        Associations
        There is no known national association specifically for wood
waste' boiler manufacturers.  However, all the above organizations are
members of the American Boiler Manufacturers Association.

        Basic Equipment And Combustor Design (Refs. A-1Q.4-1 and A-1Q.5-1)
        The material burned in these boilers consists of slabs, logs,
bark strips, sawdust and shavings originating in sawmills, plywood
facilities and pulp and paper mills.  These materials will have a
highly variable moisture content reflecting the tree species, time of
                                                                    if
year when cut, part of the tree,  and its exposure to moisture during
transit and storage.  In addition, salt content in the bark resulting
from transportation by sea creates other problems which must be
considered during boiler design.   Due to seasonal variations in wood
waste supply, all boilers are equipped to bum a secondary fuel(s).
All material, except sawdust, is  first reduced to chip size  (hogged)
in-order to facilitate both charging into the furnace and subsequent
combustion.
        Burning -of the wood waste occurs in three steps:  drying' of the
material; distillation and combustion of the volatile matter; and,
combustion of the fixed carbon.  Furnace designs for accomplishing
these steps include pile burning where the waste is deposited in a
pile on a grate ;  combustion air enters from beneath the grate and
flows around the burning pile.  This method of firing requires between
                                    281

-------
30 and 40% excess air at the^boiler outlet.  The wood waste may also
be burned in a furnace equipped with a traveling grate and a spreader
stoker similar to that used with coal.  The smaller particles will dry
out and burn during flight with the balance of the burning occurring
on the grate.
        Figure A-10.5-1 is a cross-sectional view of a wood waste boiler
designed to burn hogged wood with either oil, gas, or pulverized coal.

        Current FuelUse, Trends and Properties
        Information supplied by Babcock and Wilcox and Combustion
Engineering  (Refs. A-10.4-2 and A-10.4-3)  tabulates characteristics of wood
bark boilers installed by these firms.  In each instance a supplementary
fuel  (or fuels) was indicated and steam capacity on wood waste alone
ranged from 28-92% of the total steam capacity, with the supplemental
fuel(s) accounting for the balance.   (The use of a supplemental fuel
can lead to the formation of an ash of lower melting temperature than
that of either ash taken separately and may become a problem.)  In
several instances the furnace has been designed so that another
supplemental fuel, usually pulverized coal, can be used in the future.
        The limited amount of information obtained precluded
establishing specific trends in fuel usage.

        Total Number And Geographic Distribution
        The total number of bark boilers reported in References A-10.4-2
and A-10.4-3 (107) was not sufficient to establish a definitive distribution
by state of these devices.  Rather, the number reported for each state was
expressed as a percentage of all the units reported.  This assumes that the
distributions of bark boilers installed by these manufacturers are representa-
tive of units installed by all manufacturers.  These results are shown in
Table A-10.5-1.

        LimitationsIn Equipment UsesAnd Fuels {Refs. A-10.4-1 and A-10.5-1)
        Wood waste boilers are limited by wood supply and wood moisture;
wood supply fluctuates with mill production.  The net heating value of
the wood waste decreases as the moisture content increases and with
moisture contents above 65%, a large part of the energy in the wood is
required to evaporate the moisture, and little remains for steam genera-
tion.  Burning of this wet waste becomes a means of disposal rather than
a source of energy.
        Combustion temperatures resulting from burning dry waste may be
high enough for impurities to cause fluxing of furnace refractories
and fouling of heating surfaces.  In addition, a furnace designed to
burn wet fuel will operate poorly with dry fuel, and a dry fuel furnace
may be unable to carry its normal load when supplied with wet fuel.
In soma cases, extremely dry fuel is sprayed with water so that its
moisture content is closer to design moisture.

        Quantity And Geographic DistributionOf Fuels Used
        No information was obtained for this subject in regard to either
wood waste or supplementary fossil fuels used.  As noted in Reference
A-4-1, energy produced by hogged fuel and bark (at 50% moisture content
for each) amounted to 6.8% of the total energy consumption in the pulp,
paper and paperboard industry during the first six months of 1975.

        Air Pollutant Emissions
        The NEDS listing for air pollution emissions from wood and/or
bark boilers was shown in Table A-8-1.  The boilers rank third in
magnitude of NO , CO, and particulates emissions but are sixth in terms
of HC and seventh in SO  emissions.

A-10.6  COKE OVENS
        Major Manufacturers
        The major manufacturers of coke ovens are:
           Koppers Co. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
           Wilputte Coke Oven Div., Salem Corp.  (Morriston, New Jersey)
           Qtto-McKee (Independence, Ohio)
           Dravo-Still (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
           Kaiser-Didier (Oakland, California)
The last two named are recent entries into the field and as of December 1976
had not produced any ovens.
        Each manufacturer will perform a turn-key operation in that
they will design, procure components, and construct the ovens as well
as the by-product plants which extract chemicals from the coke oven
gas.

        Associations
        There are no known coke oven manufacturer's trade associations.

        Basic Equipment And Combustgr Design
        Modern by-product coke ovens are tall, thin, long devices which
will heat metallurgical grade coal in the absence of air to produce
coke.  The older beehive configurations are not  common and will not
be discussed.  The fuel for heating the coal  is  mostly coke oven gas,
i.e., the gaseous products of coal distillation, or blast furnace gas
with a small usage of both coke oven and blast furnace gas.  All coke
oven gas is first routed through a by-product recovery plant and then
approximately 60% of the gas is used within the  oven with the
balance routed to the steel mill.  A grouping of coke ovens is termed
a battery and there may be anywhere from 5 to 106 ovens in a battery.
Typically, there is a minimum of 15 ovens in  a battery.  Reference
                                       286

-------
A-10.6-1 presents details showing differences between the several types of
coke ovens.  Basically, these differences involve the specific arrangement
of the hot gas flues within the ovens.  Figure A-10.6-1, taken from Reference
A-10.6-1, is a cut-away view of a coke oven.
        Current Fuel Use,TrendsAnd Properties
        Approximately 85% of the devices use coke oven gas, 12% use
blast furnace gas, and 3% use a combination of these two fuels (Ref.
A-10.6-2).  No other fuel types are used.
        No information was obtained regarding trends in fuel usage.
Such trends might be approximately proportional to yearly coke
production.

        Trends In Equipment Type,Age, Size And Use
        The trend in equipment type has been to the by-product method;
as a result only one location in the United States uses the older beehive
method.
        The life of a by-product oven battery .is from 20 to 30 years
(Ref.  A-10.6-1) but no information was found on representative oven
age nor the trend in age.
        There has been an upward trend in oven height and length, i.e.,
greater coke capacity per oven.  The width of the oven is fairly well
fixed to allow for coking of the coal within approximately 17 hours,
i.e.,  if the width (minimum oven dimension) were increased the coking
time would also be increased.  At the present state-of-the-art a
representative oven is 6.1 m (20 ft) high, 15.2 m  (50 ft) long, and
0.5 m (18 in.) wide.
        Total NumberAnd Geographical Distribution
        As of 1974, according to Reference A-10.6-3, there were 11,694
coke ovens in the United States at 50 plant locations.  The majority
of ovens  (59%) were located in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Ohio.

        Limitations InEquipment	Uses And Fuels
        A coke oven battery can use either coke oven or blast furnace
gas i_f it were originally designed to accommodate both fuels.  A
substantial capital investment would be required to substitute blast
furnace gas for coke oven gas in that piping from the blast furnace
to the battery would be required.  In addition, the marked differences
in heating value between the gases:  coke oven gas  18.6 MG/m
(500 Btu/cf); blast furnace gas  3.3 - 3.7 MJ/m      (90 - 100 Btu/cf)-
would probably require extensive revisions in the flue ductwork within
                                     289

-------
•J
the oven since a greater volume of gas would be needed.  In view of
the latter consideration it does not appear economically feasible to
substitute blast .furnace gas in those batteries which were not
originally designed for this fuel.

        Quantity And Geographic Distribution Of Fuels Used
        In a coke oven, the coal charge (feedstock) itself is the primary
source of fuel via the generated coke oven gas.  According to Reference
A-10.6-4 for the year 1972, 77.9 x 10  kg  (85,7 x 10  short tons) of coal
were used in the production of coke; 62.3x10  kg (68.5x10  short tons)  of
                                                                       10  3
coke, screening and breeze were produced.   Also produced were 4.59 x 10   m
(1.62 xllO   ft ) of coke oven gas.  However, the amount of coke oven gas
used as fuel within the oven is less than this amount for two reasons:
        1.  The extraction of by-product chemicals
        2.  Routing of approximately 40% of the remaining gas to the
            steel mill.
        Thus, it is not possible at this time to determine the total
quantity and geographic distribution of fuels  (coke oven and blast
furnace gas)' used in coke ovens.

        Air Pollutant Emissions
        The yearly air pollution emissions from by-product coke ovens
are contained in Table A-8-1.  In this instance the "Number of Records"
obtained from the NEDS listing  (Hef. A-2-2) is  assumed to refer to the
number of coke oven batteries  where each battery may contain a large
number of individual ovens.  HC emissions are high (second) relative to
other devices tabulated.  Emission levels of other pollutants listed are
much lower in the ranking order.
                                      290

A-10.7  BLAST FURNACES
        Major Manufacturers
        The major manufacturers of blast furnaces are:
           Koppers Co., Inc. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
           Arthur G. McKee (Cleveland, Ohio)
           Dravo (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
        Each of these manufacturers will perform a complete operation
from design, to component procurement, and construction.

        Associations
        There are no known associations of blast furnace manufacturers.
The American Iron and Steel Association  (AISI) represents the equipment
users.

        BasicEquipment And Combustor Design  (Ref. A-10.6-1)
        A blast furnace is a device which produces essentially pure
metallic iron (pig iron) from iron containing materials.  It is a
refractory lined, circular, conical structure with a hearth (lower) .
diameter ranging from 6.1 m to 9.2 m  (20 - 30 ft) and total height
between 27.4 - 33.5 m  (90 - 110 ft).  The top end (smaller diameter)
of the furnace is fitted with a removable seal arrangement to allow
charging of materials which consist of:
       . Iron-bearing material (ore, sinter,  pellets, scale, slag, scrap)
       . Fuel (coke)
       .Flux (limestone and/or dolomite).
        The hearth region is fitted with tuyeres for admitting preheated
(blast) air and, in most instances, a secondary fuel  (gas, oil or
pulverized coal).  The preheated blast air burns with part of the fuel
•(coke) to produce heat for the chemical reactions involved and for
melting the iron.  The balance of the fuel and part of the gas produced
reduces (i.e.,  removes oxygen from) the metal.  The blast furnace
exhaust gas, a low energy content gas, is cleaned and burned in the air
preheaters.
                                     291

-------
        Each furnace is  furnished with from 3 to 8  (3 or 4 are typical)
hot blast stoves.  These stoves are brick-lined regenerators whose
function is to preheat the blast air before entry into the furnace.
These devices are fueled with cleaned blast-furnace gas  (with some
usage of coke oven gas) and contain brick checkerwork for countercurrent
air heating.  For a 3 stove arrangement one is supplying heated air to
the blast furnace while the other two stoves are being heated by burning
blast-furnace gas.  Figure A-10.7-1 is a general arrangement of a blast
furnace and hot blast stove.

        Blast furnaces are rated in terms of their internal (stack)
volume while hot blast stoves are rated by their internal heat transfer
area.

        Current Fuel. Use, Trends And Properties
        Currently, coke is the main fuel used in the blast furnace proper.
Some oil,  natural gas and pulverized coal are  used as secondary fuels (the
coal is used at only one mill in the U.S.).
        No information was found concerning fuel use trends as a result
of device efficiency improvements.   Therefore, it was assumed that fuel
usage trends would follow the annual production of pig iron.  Information
was obtained on pig iron production from the American Iron and Steel
Institute, and is presented in Table A-10.7-1, for the years 1966-1975.
These data reflect the general national economic climate in the
United States, i.e., pig iron production is high during periods of
relative prosperity and low during recessional phases.

         Trends In Equipment Type, Age, Size And Use
         No quantitative information was found concerning these aspects
 of blast furnaces.  In general, the furnace is rebuilt (refractories
 changed) every five years and it is during these rebuilds that provision
 is made for incorporating supplemental fuels.
         New blast furnaces are being made larger ususally to replace
 several smaller units.  However,  no specific information was obtained
 regarding size as a function of time.

         •Ratal Number and Geographic Distribution
         Table A-10.7-2, prepared from data in Reference A-10.6-3, presents
 the blast furnace number distribution by state.  Of the total number
 (189), 63.0% are concentrated in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana.
        The blast furnace internal volume (stack volume) is the unit of
measure of capacity.  Using data from Reference A-10.6-3 a tabulation was
made of stack volumes to arrive at a relative pig iron capacity (i.e., pig
iron capacity was taken as proportional to stack volume) by state.  The
results are also shown in Table A-10.7-2.  Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana
account for 59.5% of the relative capacity.

        Limitations In Equipment Uses And._F_uel3
        The only fuel limitation noted was in secondary fuels.  These can
be used only when the furnace was originally designed, or retrofitted, to
burn secondary fuels.

        Quantity And Geographic Distribution Of Fuels Used
        Table A-10.1-1 contains fossil fuels purchased by SIC 33,  Primary
Metal Industries, by state.  It is assumed that nearly all the coal and
coke entries for this industry are used in blast furnaces.

        Air Pollutant Emissions
        Air pollution emissions for the general heading of iron and steel
furnaces are shown in Table A-8-1.  Emissions specific to blast furnaces
were not found.  NO  emissions are expected to be low based on limited data
                   X
(Ref. A-1Q.12-2)  because of the low heat content of blast furnace gas.

A-1Q.8  OPEN HEAHTH FUKNACES
        Major Manufacturers
        Open hearth furnaces are no longer being made for the Iron and Steel
Industry but the major manufacturer was Koppers Co., Inc. (Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania).
        Associations
        No information was obtained on associations of open hearth
manufacturers.

        Basic Equipment And Combustor Design  (Ref. A-10.6-1)
        The open hearth furnace consists of a refractory lined vessel
which is shallow compared to its length.  A refractory lined arched
roof completes the basic reverberatory furnace structure.  Regenerative
checkerwork is  used for air preheating, and a wide variety of fuels are
used.  Figure A-10.8-1 is a view of the principal parts of an open hearth
furnace.
        A carefully controlled charging sequence is followed.  First,
limestone (flux), scrap and iron ore is charged into the furnace and then
melted—mainly by radiation from the flame and roof.  Then, molten pig
iron is charged and the heat is refined.and ready -for tapping in about
8-10 hours from the initial charging.  (The shorter time period corresponds
to those furnaces equipped with roof mounted oxygen lances.)
        A complex series of chemical reactions occurs within the molten
metal to remove the impurities by oxidation.  The carbon content is also
carefully controlled.  Oxygen is obtained partly from the iron ore and
partly from the furnace atmosphere.                           _   ,     '
        At the correct time the furnace is tapped and deoxidizing agents
and alloying elements are added as the molten metal flows into the
ladle.
        No specific details were obtained on burner characteristics.

-------
        Open hearth furnaces are being gradually replaced by basic oxygen
furnaces (BOF) and electric arc furnaces.  Between the years 1964 and 1974
production by the open hearth has dropped from 77.2% to 24.5% of total steel
output.  During the same time period the use of BOF has increased from 11.8%
to 56.2% of the total steel production.  However, the open hearth furnace
will probably survive for another 20 years before being completely replaced.
Additionally, BOF's are not combustion devices as no fuel source is required
directly in the BOF unit.
        The capacity of open hearth furnaces is expressed by the amount of
charge loaded per heating cycle.  Furnaces currently operating range from
45 Mg  (50 tons) to 381 Mg  (420 tons) per heat with the average size about
227 Mg  (250 tons) per heat.
        Current Fuel Use, Trends And Properties
        Current practice is to use the following fuels, (usually in
combinations of two or more) (Ref. A-10.6-3):
       . coke oven gas
       . pitch
       . tar
       . oil  (grade not specified)
       . natural gas.
Only natural gas is definitely a purchased fuel while the others are normal
products of by-product coke ovens.
        No information was obtained on the' relative proportions of
these  fuels when used in combinations.  Further, no specific information
was obtained on fuel usage trends; however, overall usage should approximate
the overall open hearth steel production previously quoted.

        Trends In Equipment Type, Age, Size And Use
        No information was obtained other than that no new  units are being
constructed and existing units are being phased out.

        Total Number And Geographical Distribution
        Table A-10.8-1, prepared from data contained in Reference A-10.6-3,
gives the distribution of the 189 open hearth furnaces by state.  Open
hearth furnaces are rated on the amount of steel produced per cycle
(heat) since the furnace is a batch processor.  (A heat may vary in duration
from 8 to 10 hours.)  This rating factor was used to determine the approximate
open hearth steel production by state; the results are also shown in Table
A-10.8-1.  Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana comprise 71.4% of all the furnaces
and 70.4% of the approximate capacity.

        LimitationsIn Equipment Uses And Fuels
        In a steel mill which contains coke ovens, blast furnaces and
open -hearth furnaces, equipment fuel usage is established during the
initial mill design phase.  Extensive hardware changes would be required
to substitute fuels in the devices, e.g., substituting coke oven gas for fuel
oil or natural gas necessitates long runs of large diameter ductwork and
burner changes.  Thus, the economics of the situation would probably preclude
using fuels other than called for in the original design.
                                  299

-------
        Quantity And Geographic Distribution Of Fuels Used
        It is assumed that the distribution of fuels used in open hearth
furnaces is proportional to the amount of coal and coke purchased by
SIC 33, Primary Metal Industries, as shown in Table A-10.1-1.  The rationale
for this assumption is that in a steel mill with on-site by-product
coke ovens, the major source of fuel for the open hearth furnaces
would be coke oven gas and that the amount of this gas is proportional
to the amount of coal and coke purchased.   (In this context, "purchasing"
nay amount to a "paper" transfer of a material within the same company
from one activity to another.5

        Air Pollutant Emissions
        Open hearth air pollution emissions are included in Table A-8-1 as
part of the "Iron and steel furnace" category.  Table A-10.8-2 breaks them
out as a separate entry.  Open hearth furnaces contribute 67% of the iron
and steel furnace category- emissions.  These furnaces have very high
temperatures and long residence times that are conducive to NO  formation.
Emissions also vary considerably over each cycle  (Ref. A-1Q.12-2).

A-10.9  SOAKING-PIT, REHEATING, AND HEAT-TREATING FURNACES

        Major Manufacturers

        Major manufacturers of  soaking-pit and reheating furnaces are:

          Surface Combustion Div., Midland-Ross Corp.  (Toledo, Ohio)
          Swindell-Dressier Div., Pullman  Inc.  (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
          Loftus Engr. Corp., Western Gear Corp.  (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
        The major manufacturers of heat-treating furnaces are:
          Surface Combustion
          Swindell-Dressier
        Associations
        There are no known associations of manufacturers of these devices.
However, each of the above is a member of  the American Iron and  Steel
Engineers  (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania).

        Basic Equipment And Combustor Design  (Ref. A-10.6-1)
        The primary functional objective of each of  these devices is the
same — to raise the steel temperature to a specified range.   In  common
usage, a soaking-pit furnace is charged with steel ingot from the steel
mill  and raises its temperature to a normal range between 1450 and  1617 K
 (2150 - 2450°P) in preparation  for the first rolling or forming  operations.
A reheating furnace raises the  temperature of the partially formed  steel
"to the same temperature range for further  hot-working.
        Heat-treating .furnaces  raise the finished  steel product  to  a
temperature between 700 and 1144 K (800 - 1600°F)  for the specific
purpose of controlling the mechanical properties of  the final product.
Therefore, the operation of a heat-treating furnace  is more critical than
that  of a soaking-pit or reheating device  insofar as the metal is concerned,
e.g., heating and cooling rates,  as well as temperature levels,  must be
carefully con-broiled.  Additionally, the chemical composition within the
furnace must not adversely affect product  surface quality.
                                       302

-------
        Soalcing-pit furnaces are usually batch type devices designed
to heat steel ingot prior to rolling or forming operations.  Several
furnaces are usually grouped together so as to share the same ingot
handling equipment and interior walls.  Each pit, in turn, is designed
to accommodate several ingots with the constraint being that the ingots
never cover more than 50% of the floor-plan area.
        Burner design and placement, as well as exhaust port placement,
are chosen to promote strong internal circulation patterns of the
combustion gases to provide a uniform heating environment for the ingots.
This requirement has led to the development of a family of furnace geo-
metrical designs; each will generate these gas circulation patterns.  For
example, one design  ("vertically-fired") has the coabustor centrally
located and firing vertically into the furnace with the waste gases being
drawn off through the furnace outer walls.  Another design has a series
of burners firing tangentially into a cylindrical furnace with the exhaust
port centrally located in the furnace floor.  Figure A-10.9-1 shows two
types of soaking-pit furnaces—the one-way and vertically-fired configura-
tions.
        Recuperators or regenerators are usually provided to preheat
the incoming combustion air.   (Current practice is to provide recuperators
or regenerators on all furnaces.  Such was not the case 20 years ago.)
        Reheating furnaces are of both batch and continuous type and
are also designed to promote strong internal gas circulation.  These
devices are used to reheat slabs, billets and blooms prior to further
hot-working operations.  Burner placement in continuous reheating
furnaces vary from a single burner at the steel discharge end (firing
cpuntercurrent to the metal travel) to a series of up to five burner zones
located along the length of the furnace.  fhe latter arrangement allows
the metal to undergo preheating, heating and soaking during its travel
through the furnace.  Bais multi-zone furnace permits better control
of metal heating rates and the gradual temperature rise enables
charging all grades of cold steel without having to cool the furnace.

-------
         Heat-treating furnaces  are  either batch or  continuous  devices
 and are further identified as being directly  or indirectly heated.
 They are usually well insulated and built tight to  avoid the loss of
 special atmosphere  gas.   Special attention  is given to  achieve a
 uniform temperature distribution within the working volume.  For annealing
 operations  the  rate of temperature  increase and decrease is very carefully
 controlled.   Quenching tanks are located in close proximity to the
 furnace to  minimize the  time between discharge  from the furnace to
 immersion in the quenching tank.
         Special atmosphere gases are used to  minimize scaling  caused
 by attack of normal atmospheric gases.   Continuous  furnaces may also
 include fire curtains at both the charging  and  discharging ends to
 prevent atmospheric oxygen from entering the  working volume.
         There are many configurations of the  batch  and  continuous
 furnaces.  An example of the former is  the  bell-type in which  the steel
 is loaded on a  tracked carrier  which is then  moved  into position under the
 furnace body.  The  body  is then lowered over  the carrier and the heating
 cycle commences. A single furnace  body can be  repositioned to service
 several carriers.
         A walking-beam furnace  is an example  of a continuous device and
,consists of a series of  pivoted beams running the length of the furnace.
 The steel is moved  through the  furnace  as a set of  beams are pivoted
 causing the charge  to move to the next  set  of beams, etc.

         CurrentFuelUse, Trends And Properties (Ref. A-10.9-1)
         Current fuel use includes fuel  oil, natural gas, coke-oven  and
 cold blast  furnace  gas.   Trends in  fuel usage have  been away from
 natural gas to  a combination of blast furnace and coke-oven gas, with
 Hos. 2 and  6 fuel oils as alternates.   Economic considerations preclude
 furnace operation on blast furnace  gas  alone  as this low energy fuel
 would require extensive  ductwork and burner modifications.
                                     305

-------
        Trends In Equipment Type, Age, Size And Use
        According to Reference A-10.9-1, up until 3-4 years ago 30-40%
of their inquiries concerned nonregenerative (no air preheat) devices.
Since that time all requests have specified preheated air (either
recuperative or regenerative) in the interest of fuel economy.

        Devices which had used natural gas exclusively have been
retrofitted with new burners to allow operation on other gaseous fuels,
e.g., coke-oven and blast furnace gas.
        Ifeere has been no marked shift toward greater use of continuous
type furnaces mainly because these larger capacity devices are already
extensively used.  However, within the continuous type device category,
newer installations have favored the walking-beam configuration to
achieve greater capacity.  The capacity of a pusher type reheating
furnace is limited by the length of the pushing mechanism but such is
not the case for the walking-beam type.
        No specific information was obtained on device age and size—
except that the trend is for larger capacity units.

        Total NumberAnd Geographic Distribution
        According to Reference A-10.6-3, there are 1435 soaking-pit
furnaces, 1264 reheating furnaces, and 3836 heat-treating furnaces
 (for a grand total of 6535) distributed By state as shown in Table
A-10.9-1.  Whenever possible devices using electricity as the heat
source were not included in the tabulation.

        Limitations In Equipment Oses And Fuels
        Limitations in this area pertain  to fuels used.  A device
which was originally designed to burn a specific fuel can not burn a
substitute fuel unless subsequent burner retrofit has been performed.
As previously discussed, there is no economic justification in using
low energy blast furnace gas by itself.

        Quantity And Geographic DistributionOf Fuels Used
        A very approximate assessment of this subject is given by the
data in Table A-10.1-1 for SIC 33 - Primary Metal Industries and, to
a lesser degree, SIC 34 - Fabricated Metal Products.  If it is assumed
that coke-oven gas consumption in heating furnaces is proportional
to coke consumption then Table A-10.1-1 provides at least the relative
amounts, on a geographic basis, of fuels used.
        Aside from this approach there was no specific information
found at this time on.distributions of fuel used.

        Air Pollutant Emissions
        In this instance, the NEDS listing  (Ref. A-2-2) for these devices
is completely inadequate. . A total of only 134 records (each record assumed
to be a separately identifiable device) was found for soaking-pit and
heat-treating furnaces in activity headings of:  primary metals - steel
production  (1 record); secondary metals - gray iron  (16 records);
secondary metals - steel  foundry  (113 records); and,  secondary
metals  - malleable iron  (4 records).  As previously mentioned,
Reference A-10.6-3 listed a combined total  of 6,535 soaking-pits,
reheating furnaces, and heat-treating furnaces.
        In addition,  Reference A-10.9-2 does not contain emissions
factors (weight of emission/unit measure of product) for any of
these combustion devices.  Therefore, it is concluded  that  no-  compre-
hensive air  pollution emissions data are available  for soaking-pits,
reheating furnaces, and  heat-treating  furnaces  in the  steel industry.

A-10.10 STATIONARY RECIPROCATING ENGINES

        Major Manufacturer's
        The major manufacturers of internal combustion engines/  both
diesel and spark ignition, are shown in Table A-10.10-1 together with
information pertaining to engine characteristics.  (These data were
secured from an unpublished source.)
        Associations
        The following associations represent engine manufacturers:
      . Engine Manufacturers Association (Chicago, Illinois)
      . American Trucking Association (Washington, D.C.)
      . Diesel Engine Manufacturers Association  (Cleveland, Ohio)
        Basic Equipment And Combustor _Design
        Diesel engine  (compression ignited, CI) combustion is achieved
by injecting fuel into a cylindrical chamber containing eompressionally
heated air with combustion occurring spontaneously.  Spark ignited (SI)
engines employ a high energy electrical spark to initiate combustion.
Usually these engines induct a premixed fuel-air mixture into the
cylinder  (the mixing function being performed by the carburetor).
However, fuel injection into the cylinder containing compressed  air
is also utilized.  Gaseous fueled SI engines mix the fuel with air
at the intake valve.
        Diesel engines of the dual-fuel type also operate on gaseous
fuels but require a small amount of liquid diesel fuel to initiate the
combustion process.  Such engines are designed to operate with from
6 to 100 percent liquid fuel.
        Both CI and SI engines are produced in two- and four-stroke
cycle arrangements.  In the  CI,  a power stroke is generated for
every 360 deg of crankshaft rotation (corresponding to two strokes
of the piston) while the  SI delivers a power stroke  for every 720
deg of crankshaft rotation, i.e. one power stroke for every four
                                     309

piston strokes.  The two-stroke arrangement offers the advantages of
a simpler mechanical design since it is possible to completely
eliminate the valves and valve drive train while also achieving twice
as many power strokes per unit of cylinder volume.  However, these
advantages are achieved at the expense of fuel economy because a portion
of the incoming fuel charge may be swept across the cylinder and out the
exhaust port before complete combustion has been achieved.
        The method of inducting air into the cylinder may also vary.
In the naturally aspirated design* the air is drawn into the cylinder
by piston pumping action.  This is achieved by the slight negative
pressure produced in the cylinder of a four-stroke design as the piston
starts its downward motion during the intake stroke.  In a two-stroke
engine, air is either inducted into the crankcase as the piston begins
its upward motion during the exhaust portion of the cycle or blown
into the cylinder.  Thus, the amount of air inducted  {and fuel also)
in a naturally aspirated engine is limited by geometry, valve timing,
and rotational speed.
        In order to ease this limitation, engines are  fitted with
turbochargers which are turbine driven air compressors operating from
engine exhaust energy.  In this manner a greater mass of air can be
charged into the same cylinder volume and, therefore, can burn with
a greater mass of fuel.  Thus, turbocharged engines can produce a
greater power output per unit cylinder volume.  Estimates, reported
in Reference A-10.10-1, are that 55-60% of the diesels built today are
turbocharged and that this ratio will grow to 80% or more in years to
come.
        Combustion chamber designs may include a precombustion volume into
which nearly all the fuel is injected and partially burned in a fuel
rich environment.  The combustion is completed as these gases expand
into the main chamber and react with the balance of the air.  These
divided chamber designs are incorporated into both CI and SI engine
                                       312

and nay reduce NO  emissions via. a staged combustion technique.  This
                 2fe
reduction is achieved, however, at an increase in fuel consumption
brought about partly by additional heat transfer losses through the
surface area represented by the precombustion chamber walls.
        Figure A-10.10-1 shows an internal combustion engine—in this
instance a 2-stroke, spark ignited, natural gas fueled, turbocharged unit
with an integral gas compressor.

        Current Fuel Use, Trends And Properties
        Current fuels used in reciprocating 1C engines include:
distillate oil, residual oil and natural gas (dual fuel engines) for
CI engines; gasoline and natural gas for SI engines.  Residual oil
with a sulfur content of 0.5 percent or less is considered to be
acceptable - higher sulfur concentrations are not recommended because
of possible excessive engine wear and acid compound contamination of
the lubricating oil.
        No reference was found concerning the use of coal either directly
 (pulverized or in a slurry) or indirectly  {coal gasification) for these
e'ngine types.
        Based on unpublished data it was determined that the total
energy produced by 1C engines amounts to;
      . Diesel (distillate and residual oil)     71.6x10    J/yr
      . Dual Fuel              '                  22x10    J/yr
      . Natural Gas                              338xl015  J/yr
      . Gasoline                                 48xlQ15  J/yr
        Total                                    480xl015 J/yr

Natural gas accounts for 70.5% of the total energy produced by these
engines. mIndeed, the use of natural gas is even greater when duel fuel
engines are operating with a high percentage (90-95%) of natural gas on
an energy basis.  For 90% natural gas usage in dual fuel engines, natural
gas supplies 74.6% of all the energy produced by reciprocating internal
combustion engines.
                                     313

-------
Figure A-10.10-1.    Internal  combustion engine with  integral gas  compressor (Cooper Energy Services)

-------
        Further, natural gas fueled engines used in the oil and gas produc-
tion and oil and gas industry categories account for 275x10   J/year or
81.2% of the energy produced by all natural gas fueled devices.  This is
due to the close physical proximity of the fuel supply to the device, e.g.,
an engine driving a natural gas pipeline compressor will be a very short
distance from a fuel source (the pipeline).
        Fuel use trends, while not quantitatively established, are anticipated
to result from shortages in both natural gas and low sulfur content fuel oils
(especially the former).  Thus, in the future dual fuel diesel engines could
be operated with a higher percentage of fuel oil.
        Trends In Equipment Type, Age, SizeAnd Ose
        Reference A-10.10-2 indicates that there is no discernible
trend in 1C engines, especially those with outputs between 746 and
1864 kw  (1,000 - 2,500 HP).  There has been a tendency toward including
turbochargers on new engines and retrofitting turbochargers on older
naturally aspirated units in the interest of improved fuel economy.
There has also been some discussion by engine manufacturers to convert
natural gas fueled engines to utilize pj.1 fuels in the event that rising
natural gas prices'make it economically justifiable.
        The matter of engine age, especially for large stationary units,
is difficult to establish since major components, e.g., cylinder head,
crankshaft, connecting rods, main and rod bearings, will last indefinitely
if the engine is properly operated.  Minor overhauls are performed after
8,000 to 16,000 hours (0.9 to 1.8 years) and include new piston rings,
new or reground valves, and occasionally new or rebuilt pistons.  After
20,000 to 80,000 hours  (2.3 to 9.1 years) a major overhaul is performed
and may include new cylinder liners in addition to those items covered
by the minor overhaul.
        Usually the old parts are either rebuilt to original specifica-
tions or replaced with identical new items.  Occasionally the new parts
have been altered from original specifications, e.g., different piston
crown design, injector timing, etc., to reflect component improvement.
                                     315

-------
 This distinction is  quite  important  since  the  former component replace-
 ment approach probably will not require  that the engine be  subject to
 emission regulations if it had not been  previously necessary.   The
 latter approach, i.e.,  substitution  of new design components,  may require
 that the engine be subject to emission regulations if these new
 components result in greater emissions or  emission of a new pollutant.

         Total Number And Geographic  Distribution
         An unpublished study has produced  the  total number  of
 stationary internal  combustion engines categorized primarily by fuel
 type (diesel, dual fuel, natural gas and gasoline)  and application.
 For some applications the  strict definition of "stationary" is not
 clear but seems to include those engines which are used in  a non-
 propulsive mode and  those  propulsive units whose area and/or velocity
 of movement is "small". For the latter  category "small" would refer
 to the subsequent spatial  dispersion of  air pollutant emissions as
 being governed by atmospheric motion and not by the motion  of  the
 source.  This definition would then  include, for example, gasoline
 powered lawn mowers  but would exclude diesel powered refrigeration
 units used on long distance tractor-trailer rigs.  Table A-10.10-2
 herein is reproduced from  the unpublished  study.
         No information was contained in  the unpublished study  or
 found elsewhere as to the  geographic distribution of the devices.

         Limitations  In Equipment Uses And  Fuels
         Large capacity stationary  1C engines are designed to operate
 for long periods of  time at rated  power  and, as a result, there is
 little flexibility to change basic operational characteristics in an
 effort to reduce air pollutant emissions.   Such characteristics as
- spark or injection timing  are not  varied from  the manufacturers
 specifications.  Indeed, such specifications were originally established
 in older models as corresponding to  maximum fuel efficiency.  Obviously,
 engines used in utility and industrial electric generation are not
 permitted any variation in rotational speed.

        Aside from dual fuel engines there is a fairly definite
limitation in fuel usage.  Diesel engines have some flexibility in
substituting a lower grade fuel oil especially if the engines include
a precombustion (divided) chamber (Ref. A-10.10-3). However, the use of
residual oil with a sulfur content greater than 0.5 percent is not
recommended.

        Quantity And GeographicDistribution Of Fuels Used
        No information was obtained on this subject.

        AirPollutant Emissions
        Air pollutant emissions for natural gas fuel reciprocating
engines, as found in Reference A-2-2 are shown in Table A-8-1.  The
emissions for this fuel classification are much greater than for any
other fuel.

A-10.11 STATIONARY GAS TOKBINES

        Major United States Manufacturers
        Table A-10.11-1,  abstracted from Reference A-10.11-1, lists the
major U.S. manufacturers of stationary gas turbines along with their
applications and fuels used.

        Associations
        Gas turbine manufacturers are represented by the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, Gas Turbine Division  (New York, N.Y.).

        Basic EquipmentAnd Combustor Design
        A stationary gas turbine is composed of three basic  components:
        1.  A compressor which produces high pressure air.
        2.  A combustion chamber within which  fuel and air are burned.
        3.  A turbine which supplies energy to the compressor and
            delivers useful shaft energy to the load.

        There are several variations on each of these basic
components:
        Compressor
        The compressor may  consist of a few  (one  or  two) centrifugal
stages wherein -the air inlet is in the axial direction  and the discharge
is in the radial direction  (with respect  to the axis of rotation).
Usually,  this arrangement is employed on  smaller  capacity units.  On
larger units the air flow is mainly in the axial  direction with  the
compressor consisting of a  large number of stages (up to 17) with  each
rotor stage separated by a  set of stator  blades  (which  redirect  the
air  flow  for  the following  rotor stage).
        Combustor
        For smaller units there may be only a  single combustion  chamber
arranged  in an  annular manner around the  axis  of  rotation.   Larger units
will contain  a  series of individual combustor  chambers  (as many  as 18)
                                      322

with the chambers also arranged in an annular manner.   In either situation
the combustor's functions are to inject and atomize the fuel  (in the  case
of liquid fuels3, mix the fuel vapor and air, initiate  combustion,
stabilize the flame zone, and, by introducing additional air, reduce
the combustion gas temperature to a level consistent with the turbine's
capability.  This last requirement will necessitate that the device
operate, on an overall basis, with a significant amount of excess air.
        Turbine
        The turbine may also be of the radial or axial  flow design with
the former typically having one stage and the latter having anywhere  from
1 to 6  stages.  In addition, the multi-stage arrangement can have some of
the stages mounted on a shaft separate from the compressor shaft.  In this
instance the "free" turbine stage(s) is delivering useful energy to the
load.   This configuration allows the free turbine  rotational speed to be
matched more closely with that required by the load.  The compressor  and
its turbine stage(s) can then rotate at a rate different from the free
turbine and the load.
:        At present, there are three gas turbine cycles  in use—
simple, regenerative and compound  (Ref. A-10.11-2).  In the simple
cycle the exhaust gas is discharged without any waste heat recovery.
This cycle will show a thermal efficiency on the order  of 25' to 30%.
The regenerative cycle employs the turbine exhaust gas, at a temperature
of 756  to 867 K  (900 to 1100°F), in a recuperative air  preheater heat
exchanger.  Typical thermal efficiency is from 35  to 37%.  The  combined
cycle is another manner in which waste heat is recovered from the
turbine exhaust.  In this case, the exhaust gas is used to produce
steam in a steam boiler before being exhausted.  The steam boiler
output  may then be used to drive a steam turbine in which case  the gas
turbine generates typically 60% of the total power produced with the
steam turbine producing 40%.  In some cases, additional fuel is
burned  with the oxygen rich turbine exhaust gas to produce higher
capacity/quality steam in the boiler.  Thermal efficiency for the
compound cycle gas turbine is on the order of 40 to  42%.
                                      324

-------
        Figure A-10.11-1 shows a simple cycle gas turbine unit rated at
2.8 MW and intended for gas compression and shaft power applications.
        Current Fuel Use,Trends And Properties
        According to Reference A-10.11-1, and as shown in Table A-10.11-1,
current stationary gas turbine fuel use includes natural gas, residual and
distillate oils, and in one instance blast furnace gas.  No use of coal is
noted because of possible particulate erosion of the turbine blades.  Indeed,
Reference A-10.11-3, which is a listing of gas turbines on a worldwide basis,
does not contain a single listing of a gas turbine using coal as a fuel.
        Dual fuel operation is not typical (Ref. A-10.11-4).  This
manufacturer's gas turbines cannot operate simultaneously on gaseous
and liquid fuels—rather a change in the fuel supply system must be
made when switching from a gaseous to a liquid fuel and vice versa.
This fuel supply system change does not require any change in the
combustor.
        Information obtained, from the Federal Power Commission (Kef. A-10.11-5)
listed net electrical energy produced by gas turbines for the years 1970-1975
by fuel type.  (This is not to be confused with fuels consumed by gas turbines
in electrical generating activities.)  The FFC data, shown in Table A-10.11-2,
does not differentiate between fuel oil types, e.g., distillate, residual,
etc.
        These data are of prime interest in establishing trends in fuel
usage.  As can be seen from Table A-10.11-2 the general trend since 1970
has been toward a greater utilization of fuel oil at the expense of natural
gas with the dip in 1973 probably due to the combined effects of the national
economic recession and oil embargo imposed by the producing nations.
        Trends, In Equipment Type, Age, Size And Use
        As noted in Table A-10.11-1 stationary gas turbines find a widespread
application in electrical generation and pipeline activities (oil pumping and
gas compression).  According to Reference A-10.11-2 installed gas turbine
capacity in electrical generating in 1970 was 16,500 MW - approximately 5%

 of the capacity from all sources.   As of December 31,  1975 these figures
 had increased to 43,526 MM and 8.6% (Ref. A-10.11-6).   Thus,  in 5 years,
 gas turbine electrical generating  capacity had increased by 164%.  By 1980
 planned additions will increase gas turbine capacity to 55,950 MW - an
 increase in capacity of 239%  between 1970 and 1980.
         Current electrical utility plans still envisage the gas turbine
 in a peaking role with a required  life expectancy of 30 years.  As a
 result only 11 combined cycle units have been planned  to be added in
 an electrical generating application (Bef. A-1Q.11-7).  (Peaking usage of a
 combined cycle unit would require  that the., steam boiler undergo several on-
 off cycles per day.  This intermittent operation of a steam boiler is not
 desirable.  In addition, the gas turbine portion of the unit  can be brought
 on-line much faster than the boiler, i.e., the steam boiler response time
 is the controlling factor in the overall unit response time.)
         As of 1971, according to Reference A-10.11-7,  the largest gas
 turbine electric generating station in the United States was  the
 Astoria, New York station of Consolidated Edison.  This station had
 13 units with a combined capacity of 744.5 MW.
• •
         The largest single gas turbine produced in the United States
 has a capacity of approximately 100 MW  (Bef. A-10.11-7).  It is a very
 common practice for manufacturers  to compound two or more separate
 units together and sell them as a single unit with a nameplate capacity
 equal to the sum of the individual, separate units.  Thus, the 176.5
 MW unit located at Consolidated Edison's plant in Astoria, New York,
 is actually composed of 4 individual gas  turbines packaged together.
         Projections  (Ref. A-1Q.11-2) indicate that a. 1,000 MW plant will
 be available in the future and will probably be composed of 5 combined
 cycle units each generating 200 MW.
         Figure A-10.11-2, reproduced from  Reference A-10.11-2, reports
 the sales  of gas turbines for gas compression service by power rating
 for the years 1965 through 1970.  Tliese  figures indicate the increasing
                                       328

-------
 acquisition of units with ratings of 7457 kW  (10,000 hp) and larger.
 No further information was obtained on trends in gas compression
 service, however, additional information is probably available.

Figure A-10.11-2. Trends in size of turbines sold for gas compression
                  service.   (Ref. A-10.11-2)
         Total NumberAndGeographic Distribution
         As of January 1, 1974, according to Reference A-10.11-1, there
 were 350 gas turbines in gas transmission line service in the United
 States with a total power rating of 1,970 MW  (2.64 x 10  hp).  No
 information was found on the geographic distribution of gas turbines
 used in this service.
         A survey conducted by the Federal Power Commission in 1975,
 and'reported in Reference A-10.11-5, tabulated the state-wide distribution
 of gas turbine electrical generating plants and installed capacity.
 (The survey did not ask"for information broken down on a per device
 basis.)  The results of this survey are shown in Table A-10.11-3 and
 indicate  that there were gas turbines at 506 plants in the United States
 with a combined capacity of 43,526.6 MW.
         A similar survey conducted in 1971  {Kef. A-10.11-3) tabulated a
 total of 761 gas turbines installed in electric generating service.
 Only 15 units had any form of waste heat recovery, and only 4 of these
                                      329

were a combined cycle device.  The vast majority of the units  (746  out
of  761} were  simple open  cycle gas turbines.

        Limitations In Equipment Uses And Fuels
        A definite limitation in gas turbine operation is the gas
temperature at the turbine inlet.  Present turbine materials and blade
designs require that this temperature not exceed  1255 to 1310 K
(1800 - 1900°F).  Material and blade design advances are expected to
raise this limit to  1590 K(2400°F), with the blades being cooled
by circulating air bled from the compressor.
        The use of heavy residual oils is limited primarily by metals
content as related to turbine blade corrosion.

        The direct use of coal, as opposed to gasified coal, is not
anticipated for use in a gas turbine.  This is because of turbine
blade erosion due to the fly ash in the combustor exhaust gases.

        Quantity And Geographic Distribution Of Fuels Osed
        No specific information was obtained on this subject.  However,
the relative amount of natural gas and fuel oil used can be approximated
•from proportioning the data in Table A-10.11-2  (for 1975} with that in
Table A-10.11-3  (also for 1975},  Thus, if it is assumed that fuel  oil
supplied 62,57% of the energy throughout the United States, then this
value can be applied to the state-wide capacity distribution.  The
balance of the fuel used would be natural gas.

        Associations
        The American Petroleum Institute is the major association.  Activities
related to petroleum refinery heaters are concentrated in the API Manufacturers
and Contractors Subcommittee on Fired Heaters and in the API Committee on
Stationary Source Emissions.

        Basic Equipment andCombustor Designs
        The function of refinery process heaters is to'provide heat for three
basic functions:
        1.  temperature increase of liquid oil
        2.  vaporization
        3.  promoting chemical reactions.
All heating is indirect in that the flame does not directly contact the
material processed.  Construction consists of an outer shell, refractory
lining, internal tubing to contain the heated process material, burner equip-
ment arranged for proper flame shape, and air inlet and exhaust ducting for
proper heat distribution and combustion.  Heat is transferred by flame
                                     333

-------
radiation and by convection.  Furnaces are generally divided into two
sections:  (1) a radiant section in which tubes are exposed to direct flame
radiation and (2) a convection section.  The process oil being heated is
generally introduced in the cold end of the convection section and exits
after passing through the radiant section.  Some heaters may not have a
convection section.
        There are two major types of refinery heater construction:
        1".  Vertical tube cylindrical shell heaters
        2.  Horizontal tube box heaters.
Manufacturers indicate that construction is about equally divided between
these two types so that neither type is prevalent.  Variations of these basic
types occur based on the specific needs for heat distribution within the
heater as discussed in Reference A-10.12-1.  The proper division of heat
delivery by radiation and convection is the most critical design parameter.
Improper design or operation can cause tube overheating resulting in product
coking or tube failure.  Product output temperature is the primary control
parameter.
        The heater process function has a major influence on tile combustion
process.  Processes can be ordered by the degree of process sensitivity to
combustion changes:
        1.  Heat medium heaters - heat oil or steam used as heat
            source in other processes
        2.  Low temperature reboilers
        3.  Crude heating
        4.  Chemical reforming.
        There are many other processes performed but the above are the
primary ones.
        The process sensitivities are indicated by manufacturers to be more
important than heater design in influencing limitations on combustion modifi-
cations that could be performed for emissions reduction or efficiency improve-
ment.

        4.  Air register type
            . straight injection
            . swirl promoting
        5.  Flame shape

The majority of refinery heaters have natural draft burners.  Horizontal
tube box heaters tend to have many more burners than vertical cylindrical
heater  types.   Horizontal tube box heaters can be fired with burners in
-any orientation.  Vertical tube cylindrical heaters normally have
burners located at the bottom firing vertically upward.  Most natural
draft burners employ steam for liquid fuel akomization and tend to have
fairly  simple straight injection air registers.  Natural draft designs
generally do not have any windbox around the burners and air preheating
cannot  be performed.  Excess air required tends to be higher than for
forced  draft burners.
        Forced  draft designs require a windbox to distribute the
pressurized air from a fan.  These units are, therefore, more adaptable
to air  preheat  and to the use of flue gas reeirculation.  Higher air
pressures also  allow the use of swirl promoting air registers.  This
improves the fuel-air mixing allowing operation at lower excess air
compared to natural draft types.

                                      335

-------
        Current.Fuel Use, Trends And Properties
        About 50% of total refinery energy is provided by fuel gas
generated in "the various refinery processes.  This gas varies widely
in composition, containing carbon monoxide, hydrogen, various light
hydrocarbons and inerts.  Natural gas may be mixed in to reduce heat
content variation but heat content can still vary from 19 to 74 MJ/m
(500 to 2000 Btu/Cf).  It is not possible to specify a typical refinery
gas since properties vary with time in every refinery.  Refinery gas
composition at various levels of heat content is illustrated in
Table &-10.12-1 based on samples collected in refineries by KVB during
the study reported in Reference A-1Q.12-2.  The variation in composition
can occur very quickly and this makes tests of these devices difficult
because stable operating conditions cannot be established.  Some heaters
are operated at a constant air flow high enough to compensate for fuel
variations and therefore excess oxygen varies with fuel composition.
Other units may have excess air controls to adjust air as fuel composition
changes.
        Refinery gas fuel is supplemented with oil or natural gas to
provide a total refinery, energy input to heaters equivalent to about
3 to 12% of the crude input energy content.  Smaller refineries
require 3 to 5% and larger refineries require 5-12% heater heat input
based on crude heat content.  Crude energy content is about 42 GJ/m
 (6.3 million Btu per barrel).  Heating a crude oil from 293 K to 543 K
 (68°F to 700°F) requires a heat input of about 660 MJ/m3  (100,000
Btu/barrel) or about 1.5% of the crude heat content.  This heating is
required for the initial crude distillation process and the crude heaters
required are generally  the largest in the refinery.  A large refinery
will have up to 6 separate crude heaters.
        Details on  refinery fuel use by device type are not published.
However, the general trend is to operate heaters on refinery gas and
steam boilers on oil or natural gas.  Therefore, while overall only
50% of  the refinery energy is provided by refinery gas, more than 50%
of heater fuel  is refinery gas.

        Trends In Equipment Type, Age, Size And Use
        Information on refinery heater type, age, size and use is not
published.  The reported reason for this lack of data is the proprietary
and competitive nature of the industry.
        Contact with manufacturers and refineries indicates that there
is a general trend toward increased use of air preheat and forced draft
burner designs.  These trends are in the direction of improved efficiency
through reduced excess air and reduced stack temperatures.

        Most older heaters are designed for gas  firing only.  Newer
designs are built for both gas and oil firing and many of the older
heaters are being converted  to fire oil.  No evidence was found  for
any significant use of solid fuels.
      .  Increased requirements for low sulfur fuel oil as a  replacement
for natural gas can be expected  to cause a shift in  refinery processes
away  from gasoline processes such as  cracking and reforming  and  toward
increased hydrogen desulfurization and demetallization.

        Total  Number And Geographic Distribution
        No published data on petroleum refinery  heaters  is available.
The EPA NEDS  file indicates  about 2900 such heaters  in the U.S.   There
were  256  petroleum refineries  tabulated in  the 1976  annual refinery
survey  (Ref. A-10.12-3).  Table  A-10.12-2 shows  that most  (32%)  of these
refineries are located in Texas  and California.  Table A-10.12-3 shows
the distribution of refineries by crude capacity.  The average refinery
size  is about 8000 m /day  (50,000 barrels/day).  However,  52% of the
refineries are very small, less  than  4800 m /SD  (30,000  B/SD) and
account for only 10% of total  capacity.  These refineries would  be
expected  to have only a few  heaters and subsequently low total emissions.
There are 60  refineries in the range  of 4900-23900 m /SD (30,000-
150,000 B/SD)  accounting for 36% of total  capacity.   The 26  largest
refineries account for 43% of total capacity.  Excluding the small
refineries  (under  4800 m /SD), the average  refinery size  is  17,610
m3/SD (111,000 B/SD).

        Data fathered fay KVB for inventory of NO  from stationary
                                                X
sources in the Los Angeles area (Ref. A-10.12-2)  indicates that small
refineries have 4 to 10 heaters but larger ones can. have up to 60
heaters per refinery,and the average is about 26 heaters per refinery.
Using these averages together with total refinery count data by
capacity indicates that there are about 7000 refinery heaters in
the United States.
        Every refinery has at least one crude heater.  This is usually
the largest heater since all the refinery input is processed through
this unit as the initial step in the refining process.

        Limitations inEquipment Uses and Fuels
        Refinery process heaters are designed to perform a specific
refining process and therefore are not readily adapted to other uses.
The only changes that may occur relate to the processing of crudes of
differing source and properties.
        Refinery heaters have been primarily fired with refinery gas but
distillate and residual oils are now being used in greater amounts.  The
main  fuel  use  limitation relates to the heat distribution to the
heater tubes.  A change from a gas fuel to a heavy oil fuel would increase
the fraction of heat transferred by radiation.  This could result in  •
problems with internal tube coking or other overheating failures.  Heaters
designed for oil firing require larger radiant fireboxes, larger tube
clearances and greater distances between the burners and tubes.
        Convection sections on heaters designed for gas fuel have
high density finned tubes that are subject to plugging when oil is
used.  Conversion to oil may require retubing with wider spaced fins.
Sootblowing equipment must also be installed.
        Firing of liquid fuels that contain sulfur, vanadium and sodium
can present problems with heater tube corrosion in heaters designed
for gas fuel.  This limits use to light distillate oils or requires
retubing with corrosion resistant tubes.
                                      341

-------
        Firing heaters on oil requires about 20% excess air while gas
fuel requires only 5-10% excess air.  Therefore, natural draft heaters
may have a lower heat input capacity on oil because of draft limitations.
This can be resolved by conversion to forced'draft burners.

        Quantity And Geographic Distribution Of FuelsUsed
        Petroleum refineries generate many petroleum fractions that can
be used as fuels in process heaters:
      . Liquified petroleum gas
      . Refinery process off gases
      . Naptha
      . Light Distillate
      . Atmospheric Residue
      . Vacuum Residue
      . Crude
      . Tar
      . Petroleum Coke
Information on the usage by refinery process heaters of each of the
above was not found.  However, Reference A-10.12-4 indicates the process
heaters consume about 65% of refinery fuel input, with steam generation
consuming 25% and electricity generation consuming the remaining 10%.
        Reference A-10.12-5 indicates the following distribution of fuel
use by type in petroleum refineries  (Table A-10.12-4)t

This data is based on a, survey of 56 refineries constituting 92.9
of U.S. refinery capacity for July 1 - December 31, 1975.  While
process heaters consume about 65% of total fuel energy input most
of this is believed to be refinery gas but specific use of each
fuel type in process heaters alone is not available.
        Geographic distribution of fuels consumed in petroleum
refineries is given in Table A-1Q.1-1.  The consumption rates are
highest in Texas and California, the states with the largest number
of refineries.

        There are only a few published sources of refinery heater .
emissions.  The Los Angeles Air Pollution Control District conducted
a study in 1956 (Kef.  A-10.12-6).
        A study performed for the California Air Besources Board
(Pef. A-10.12-2) provides data on NO   emissions as shown in Figure A-1Q.12-1
                                   •JC
for operation on refinery gas. This data was further correlated by
heater characteristics as shown in Figure A-10.12-2.  Conclusions from
this correlation are that natural draft heaters with no air preheat
have lowest NO  emissions and emissions per unit heat input are not
a function of size.  The use of forced draft or air preheat increased
NO  and results in a siae sensitivity.

However, the presence of only 2818 data records in NEDS relative to


an estimated 7000 total heater count indicates that the NEDS emissions


data may be low.

      POTENTIAL FOEL SAVINGS IN FOLP, PAPER AND PAPERBQARD INDOSTIY
        Reference  A-ll-1 indicates that the estimated 1975 fossil fuel
energy utilization in this industry was:
    Purchased:
  + Waste Recovery;
    Consumed;
1006xl015 J

(excluding steam and electricity)

(excluding steam and electricity)
Consider that the purchased and waste recovery fuels were combusted in
a "device" with an efficiency of 80%.  The following situation would
develop:

        Now consider the situation if the "device" efficiency was increased
                                         15
to 81%.  The waste energy input of 834x10   J would still be used as it is
available "free" and purchased fuel would be reduced to meet the same total
energy demand.

                                   347

-------
Therefore, the amount of purchased fossil fuel has decreased by 2.3%, or
a savings of 23x10   J.  This can be translated into a yearly savings in
residual oil amounting to:

        23x10   J	m  0>s5xlo6 m3 regidual oil (3.46xl06 Barrels)
        41.8x10  J/m
or approximately 5% of the industries yearly purchase of residual oil.

   GASEOUS AND P&RTICUIATE EMISSIONS TEST METHODS MID INSTRUMENTATION

B.1.0   SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
        The emission measurements were made with instrumentation carried
in a mobile laboratory trailer,  A plan view of this laboratory trailer
is shown in Figure B-l.  Exterior and interior views are shown in
Figure B-2.  The gaseous species measurements, except sulfur trioxide,
are made with analyzers maintained in the mobile laboratory, while the
particulate, smoke spot and sulfur oxides measurements are conducted
with portable analyzers carried to the sanple port.  The weighing and
titration operations which are part of the latter analyses are
conducted in or near the laboratory trailer,  %ie trailer also includes
a work area which can be used for in-field laboratory analyses, meetings
and day-to-day review of the test plans and results.
   ,    The emission measurement instrumentation used on the project
is summarized in Table B-l.
B.I.I   Gas Sampling^ _andConditioning System
        A flow schematic of the flue gas sampling and analyzing system
is shown in Figure B-3.  This system is mounted on and behind the control
console.  Cylinders of certified calibration gas are also located in
this area.  The sampling system uses three pumps to continuously draw
flue gas from the boiler into the laboratory.  A high capacity positive
displacement diaphragm pump is used to draw a high volume of flue gas into
the unheated portion of the system to provide adequate system response.
The pump pulls from a manifold connected to 24 unheated sample lines.  Selec-
tor valves allow composites of up to 12 points to be sampled at one time.
The probes are connected to the sample manifold with 0.95 cm (3/8")  nylon
line.  Stainless steel quick-disconnect couplings are provided to
facilitate the connection between the sample lines and the instrumentation
laboratory.  The sample from each line then passes through a glass

draws a small portion of the unheated sample gas from the high volume
line, and transfers it through a refrigerated condenser to reduce the
dew point to 275 K (35 °F),  a rotameter with flow cdntrol valve,  the
sample pump, and a 1 micron filter, as it passes to instrumentation for
measurement of O ,  NO, CO,  and CO .  Flow to the individual analyzers
is measured and controlled with rotameters and flow control valves.
Excess sample is vented to the atmosphere.
        Since heavy hydrocarbons may be condensible, and NO. and SO.
axe soluble in water, a heated sample line must be used to obtain
samples for the analysis of these components.  For this reason
a separate, electrically-heated, sample line is used to bring the
sample into the laboratory for analysis.  The line is 0.95 cm (3/8 inch)
stainless steel line, electrically traced and thermally insulated.
A heated metal bellows pump is used to provide sample to both the
hydrocarbon, NO , and SO  analyzers.

handling system are mounted  in the self-contained mobile laboratory.  The
entire system requires only  connection to on-site water, power, and
sampling lines to become fully operational.  The instruments themselves
are  shock mounted on  a metal console panel.  The sample  flow control
measurement  and selection,  together with instrument  calibration,are all
performed from the console face.   Three-pen  recorders provide a continuous
permanent record of  the data taken.  The sample gas is delivered  to the
analyzers at the proper condition and flow rate through  the sampling and
conditioning system  described in  the previous  section.   The following
sections  below describe the analytical instrumentation.

B.I.2.1   Nitric Oxide (NO)  and Total Nitrogen Oxides (NO..)
          ^"                        —*••••™""^™^^^^"^^TC"™
      Both the total nitrogen oxides (NO )  and nitric oxide  (NO) concentra-
tions are measured from a sample gas obtained vising a heated sample line at
394 K (250 °F).  In addition, the nitric oxide concentrations are measured
sequentially from samples obtained using the unheated sample line that is
connected to the same analyzer in the laboratory trailer.  In the latter
case, water is first removed from, the sample gas by a drop-out bottle and
refrigeration unit.  The analytical instrument used for these measurements
is the Thermo Electron Model 10A chemiluminescent gas analyzer.
      For NO analyses, the sample gas is passed directly into the reaction
chamber where a surplus of ozone is maintained.  The reaction between the
NO and the ozone produces light energy proportional to the NO concentra-
tion which is detected with a photomultiplier and converted  to an electrical
signal.  Air for the ozonator is drawn from ambient through  an air dryer
and a 10-micron filter element.  Flow control for the instrument is accom-
plished with a small bellows pump mounted on the vent of the instrument
downstream of a separator which insures that no water collects in the pump.
      The chemiluminascent reaction with ozone is specific for NO.  To
detect NO , a thermal converter has been designed to dissociate the NO  to
NO by the bi-molecular reaction:  2 NO- ^ 2 NO + 0_.  A Model 700 thermal
converter is used in conjunction with the chemiluminescent gas analyzer as
shown in Figure B-4.  The converter is a coil of resistance-heated stainless
steel tubing drives the NO /NO ratio to its chemical equilibrium value at
the converter temperature and pressure.  The unit is designed to operate at
923 K (1200 PF) and 1.3 kPa  (10 torr).  For these conditions and typical
stack gas O  concentrations, the equilibrium NO  concentration is 0.2% of the
total NO  concentration.  Therefore, when a gas sample containing NO  is
        X                                                           £,
passed through the converter, essentially all NO  would be converted to NO.
The resulting total NO is then measured using the chemiluminescent analyzer
and the difference between the actual NO and the "total NO" would be the
sample NO_ concentration.  The "total NO" is interpreted as  NO .

is maintained above the HO dew point up to and through the 127 ym (0.005
in.) capillary in the heated module.  Downstream of this capillary, the
flow network is maintained at 1.3 kPa (10 torr), where the partial pressure
of the HO in the sample is sufficiently low to prevent any condensation at
ambient temperature.
        When using the heated system, NO, NO_, and NO  are measured on a
wet basis.  When not using the heated system, a condenser is placed up-
stream of the analyzer and NO is measured on a dry basis.

        A Teledyne Model 326A oxygen analyzer is used to automatically and

zer utilizes a micro-fuel cell which is specific for oxygen, has an absolute
zero, and produces a linear output from zero through 25% oxygen.  The micro-
fuel cell is a sealed electrochemical transducer with no electrolyte to
change or electrodes to clean.  Oxygen in the flue gas diffuses through
a Teflon membrane and is reduced on the surface of the cathode.  A corres-
ponding oxidation occurs at the anode internally and an electric current
is produced that is proportional to the concentration of oxygen.  This
current is measured and conditioned by the instrument's electronic circuitry
to give an output in percent 0_ by volume for operating ranges of 0% to 5%,
0% to 10%, and 0% to 25%.

B.I.2.4 fotal Hydrocarbons (HC|
        Hydrocarbon emissions are measured using a Backman Model 402
high-temperature hydrocarbon analyzer.  The analyzer utilizes the flame
ionization method of detection which is a proven technique for a wide
range of concentrations (0.1 to 120,000 ppra).  A flow schematic of the
analyzer is presented in Figure B-6.  The sensor is a burner where a
regulated flow of sample gas passes through a flame sustained by regulated
flows of air and a premixed hydrogen/nitrogen fuel gas.   Within the flame
the hydrocarbon components of the sample stream undergo a complex ionization
that produces electrons- and positive ions.  Polarized electrodes collect
these ions, causing current to flow through electronic measuring circuitry.
Current flow is proportional to the rate at which carbon atoms enter the
burner.
        The analysis occurs in a temperature controlled oven.  The sample
is extracted from the stack with a stainless steel probe which has been
thermally treated and purged to eliminate any hydrocarbons existing in
the probe itself.  An insulated, heat traced teflon line is used to
transfer the sample to the analyzer.  The entire heated network is main-
tained at a temperature to prevent condensation of heavier hydrocarbons.
        The flame ionization detector is calibrated with methane and the
total hydrocarbon concentration is reported as the methane equivalent.
FID's do not respond equally to all hydrocarbons but generally provide a
measure of the carbon - hydrogen bonds present in the molecule.  The
FID does not detect pure carbon or hydrogen.

        ~™~^~—-----------^~r——~	 . J	 I-    ^""""
        A Dupont Model 400 photometric analyzer is used for measuring S0_.
This analyzer measures the difference in absorption of two distinct wave-
lengths (ultraviolet) by the sample.  The radiation from a selected light
source passes through the sample and then into the photometer unit where
the radiation is split by a semi-transparent mirror into two beams.  One
beam is directed to a phototube through a filter which removes all wave-
lengths except the "measuring" wavelength, which is strongly absorbed by
the constituent in the sample.  A second beam falls on a reference photo-
tube, after passing through an optical filter which transmits only the
                                    366

-------
"reference" wavelength.  The latter is absorbed only weakly, or not
at. all, by the constituent in the sample cell.  The phototubes translate
these intensities to proportional electric currents in the amplifier.
In the amplifier, full correction is made for the logarithmic relation-
ships between the ratio of the intensities and concentration or thickness
(in accordance with Beer's Law).  The output is therefore linearly pro-
portional, at all times, to the concentration and thickness of the sample.
The instrument has a lower detection limit of 2 ppro and full scale ranges
of 0-500 and 0-iOOO ppm.

B.I. 3   INTEGRATED AND SEMI-CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENTS
B-l-3.1 Oxides -of Sulfur (SO  and SO )  •
        The Absorption-Titration Method for the Determination of Oxides of
Sulfur in Stack Gases published by the Shell Development Company (62/69)
will be used for SO  and SO  measurements (see Figures B-7 and B-8).   KVB
has utilized this procedure on a number of previous test programs.
        The gas sample is withdrawn from the flue by a single probe made of
5mm ID Vycor glass tubing inserted approximately one-third to one-half way
into the duct.  The inlet end of the probe has a section 50mm long by 15mm
OD to hold a quartz wool filter to prevent particulate matter from being
drawn into the sampling train.  The entire probe is maintained above the dew
point of the flue gas during sampling (minimum temperature of 260aC).  The
portion of the probe extending out of the stack is insulated to prevent it
from cooling to the point where SO, condenses as sulfuric acid.  Provision is
made to heat the exposed probe if necessary to prevent condensation.   Insulating
putty is used to provide a seal between the exposed end of the glass probe
and support tube.  The glass probe terminates in a Vycor glass ball joint
to provide a gas tight connection to the absorber train.
        The sample gas is passed through an absorption train consisting of
two lamp sulfur absorbers and a spray trap as. described by ASTM D1266, and
a secondary absorber as described by ASTM 01551.  All joints are ground
glass or glass butt joints held together by vinyl tubing.  All glass-vinyl
joints are made gas tight by using metal hose clamps.  An ice bath is
provided for the first SO  absorber to cool the incoming gas and prevent
excessive evaporation of the absorbing solutions.  A trap with an ice
bath is inserted between the train and the sample pump to prevent any
liquid from reaching the pump or test meter.  The sample is drawn with a.
total transfer diaphragm pump.  A dry gas toest meter is used to measure
                              -4  3
the sample volume to 0.28 x 10   m  (0.001 cubic feet).

        The result of passing the sample through the absorber train is to
separate and then convert both SO  and SO  to H SO   (sulfuric acid).  The

in water.  The S03 in the sample is absorbed into the solution and upon
contact with the solution, the SO  is converted to H_SO.  (sulfuric acid).

Some of the sulfur trioxide is removed in the first absorber.  The remain-
der passes through as sulfuric acid mist, is completely removed by the
secondary absorber mounted above the first.  Most of the SO  passes through
the first two absorbers and is oxidized to H SO  by 3% hydrogen peroxide
with water in the third absorber.  The isopropyl alcohol in the first two
absorbers prevents the S02 from oxidizing to SO .  After the sample is
taken, the absorber train is purged with nitrogen.  The nitrogen carries
any S02 which was dissolved in the first two absorbers over to the third
absorber.  This procedure assures complete separation of SO  and SO .  The

B.I.3.2 Particulate Matter Total Mass Concentration
        Particulate matter is collected by filtration and wet impingement
in accordance with US-EPA Method No, 5.  Nomograph techniques are utilized
to select the proper nozzle size and to set the isokinetic flow rates.
        Gas samples for particulate sampling can be taken from the same
sample port as those for gas analysis and passed through the Joy Manufactur-
ing Company Portable Effluent Sampler.  This system, which meets the EPA
design specifications for Test Method 5, Determination of Particulate
Emissions from Stationary Sources  (Federal Re'gister, Volume 36, No. 27,
page 24888, December 24, 1971, and revisions thereof) is used to perform
both the initial velocity traverse and the particulate sample collection.
        Dry particulates are collected in the heated case that may contain
a cyclone to separate particles larger than 5 pm and a 125 mm glass-fiber
filter to retain particles as small as 0.3 pm.  Condensible particulates
are collected in four Greenburg-Smith iapingers immersed in a chilled
water bath.
                                      371

-------
        The sampling probe is positioned through an exhaust port and
attached to the sampling box.  The probe consists of a sampling nozzle,
heated probe, gaseous probe, thermocouple, and pitot tube.  The ball
joint from the heated probe connects to the cyclone and glass filter
holder assembly.  These assemblies are positioned in the heated sampling
box which is maintained at 433 K (320 °F)  above the predicted SO  dew point,
in order to eliminate condensation.  The sample then passes froa the heated
section to four Greenburg-Smith impingers immersed in an ice bath.  Only
the second impinger has the original tip, the other three have had the
tip removed to decrease the pressure drop through them.  The first and
second impingers are filled with 250 and ISO milliliters of distilled/
deionized water, respectively.  The third impinger is left dry.  The
fourth impinger is filled with approximately 200 grams of indicating
silica gel to remove entrained water.  The use of silica gel assures that
a dry sample is delivered to the meter box.  After sampling, the spent
silica gel is discarded and not used for any further analysis.
        An umbilical cord connects the last impinger, the pitot tube, and
the heating elements to the meter box which is located in a convenient
place within 15 m of the sampling ports.  The meter box contains a
vacuum pump, regulating valves, instantaneous and integrating flow meters,
pitot tube manometers, vacuum gauge, and electrical controls.
        Particulate matter  (solids and condensibles5 is collected in three
discrete portions by the sampling train:  the probe and glassware upstream
of the filter; the filter; and the wet impingers.  The probe and glass-
ware are brushed and rinsed with acetone; the matter is captured for
gravimetric analysis.  The probe and glassware are then rinsed with
distilled water and the rinsings transferred to a second container for
analysis.  The filter is desiccates and analyzed gravimetxically.
The combined impinger liquid is heated to drive off uncombined water
and the residue retained for analysis.  The particulate matter  analysis
is illustrated schematically in Figure  B-9.

-------
        US EPA method 5 considers the particulate matter captured in
containers (1) and (3)j the filter, probe brushing, and probe acetone
rinse.  Since EPA source standards are based on only solid particulates,
care is taken to differentiate between solid and the total (solid and
condensible)  particulates.  The water wash is performed because KVB's
test experience has shown that a significant amount of water soluble
material may sometimes be captured by the probe.
        The dry sample volume is determined with a dry test meter at a
measured temperature and pressure and then converted to standard conditions.
The volume of condensed water in the impingers is measured in milliliters
and the corresponding volume of water vapor is then computed at standard
conditions.  The dry sample volume and water vapor volume are then summed
to give the total sample volume.  The dry sample volume is used in the
data reduction procedures.
        A point of interest is the method chosen to calculate particulate
                          6
emissions in ng/J or lb/10 Btu from the experimental data.  The particulate
sampling train, properly operated, yields particulate mass per unit flue
gas volume.  Having measured g/m * -it is necessary to establish the flue
gas volume per unit heat input if emissions in ng/J are desired.
The original Method 5 involved determining a velocity traverse of the
stack, the cross sectional area, the flue flow rate, and fuel heating value.
A revised and more accurate method has been promulgated by the Environmental
Protection Agency that utilizes a fuel analysis  (carbon content, hydrogen
content, high heating value, etc.) and the measured excess O. in the
exhaust to calculate the gas volume generated in liberating 1-055 GJ (a.
million Btu's).  The velocity traverse approach generally results in a
20 to  30% higher value and is believed to be less accurate.

B.I.3.3 Partj.cuJ.ate Size
        Particulate matter size distribution is determined using a cascade
impaetor to collect the sample and a Cahn Model G-2 Electrobalance to weigh
the sample.  When light fuels, i.e., No. 2 oil, are used and the flue gas
is relatively clean, a high volume type impactor, the Anderson 2000 Mark III,
is used.  When the grain loading of the flue gas is heavy, as when coal is
burned, a low volume impactor, the Brink as shown in Figure B-10 is used.
        To improve the accuracy of the weighing, lightweight substrate made
of aluminum foil or glass fiber are placed in or on each steel collection
stage.  The particles are collected on these lightweight discs, and the
original steel collection stages are used only as a backing for these
substrata.
        A common problem with impactors is that the particles do not adhere
to the stage surface, but strike it, rebound, and are re-entrained in the
flow through the slots down to the next stage.  Re-entrainment has not proved
to be a problem with the cascade impactor measurements KVB currently is
making.  The flue gas flow rate has been reduced from the nominal 46.7x10
m /s  (2.8 liters per minute) to 33x10   m /s (2.0 LPM) or less.  Visual
examination of the collection stages has found no evidence of scouring or
re-entrainment.  One set of stages was further examined under an electron
microscope and there was no sign of a significant number of particulates
that were larger than the aerodynamic diameter cut point  (D_n) of the
preceding stage.  There was, however, a considerable amount of sponge-like
material that appeared to be an agglomeration of small particles.
        If rebound proves to be a problem that cannot be solved by reducing
the throughput, the substrate is coated with an adhesive.  Workers in the
field currently are using a solution of 5% polyethelene glycol 3000 in
benzene as the substrate coating substance.  If a coating is used the
substrates are baked at 473 K (200 °C) for two hours or until the volatiles
have vaporized, and the weight ceases to change.  At least one additional
substratum is processed as a blank.

-------
        Back-up filters are used on all impactors to collect the
material that passes the last irapaction stage.  Binderless, glass-
fiber filter material, such as high-purity Gelman Type A Glass Fiber-
Filter Webb are employed for this purpose.  For the Brink brand of
impactor, 25 mm diameter circular filters are placed under the last
spring in the outlet stage of the impactor.  The filter is protected
by a Teflon 0-ring and a second filter disc placed behind the actual
filter which acts as a support.  The Andersen brand impactor uses
625 mm diameter filter discs placed above the final "F" stage.
        For accurate weighing of collected material, a Cahn G-2
Electro-balance with a sensitivity of 0.05 micrograms is used.  This
sensitivity is needed for the lower stages of the high loading impactors
where collection of 0.3 mg or less is not uncommon.  KVB currently is
using this balance in the field and has found it to be insensitive to
vibration.
        The flow through the impactor is measured to determine the
cut points of the individual stages.  The flow is maintained by monitoring
the flow through the impactor assembly with the pressure gauges on the
EPA train control box.  The pump on the control box is used to maintain
the flow.  This technique is being used successfully in the field by
KVB, Inc. at present.
        To ensure proper measurement by dry gas meter and to protect
the vacuum pumps from damage by water condensing from the flue gas,
the sample stream will be chilled arid the water dropped out by a
commercially available condenser of the type available for use with
the Western Precipitation, Inc. EPA Train.
        If the stack pressure is less than the ambient pressure it is
possible for backflow to occur through the impactor when the pump is
turned off.  This can cause the collected material to be blown off the
collection substrates and onto the underside of the jet plate above.
KVB avoids this problem by ensuring that no gas flow through the impactor
takes place, except when sampling, by using a check valve to close off
the impactor from the pump while removing the impactor froza the duct.
                                     377

-------
        The impactor is carefully loaded with the stage cups and the pre-
weighed stage substrates.  The Andersen type impactor requires extra atten-
tion for the substrate stage and stage-to-stage alignments to ensure that
the jets of one stage are above the collection surface of the next stage,
After all stages are loaded and the cap and nozzle are added, the assembled
Brink is tightened with wrenches to make certain the high temperature
No. 116 asbestos gaskets are seated.  Hand tightening suffices for the
Andersen impactor.
        KVB has found that supplemental heating of the impactor is not
necessary to prevent the condensation of flue gas water inside the case.
If it is found with industrial combustion equipment that heating is
necessary to prevent water vapor from condensing in the impactor, heating
tape and the necessary insulation will be employed.  A thermocouple
mounted in the sample gas flow immediately downstream of the impactor
outlet is used to monitor and control the impactor temperature.  This
measurement also yields the temperature needed for calculating impactor
cut points.
        The impactor will be preheated for at least 30 minutes before
sampling.  The inlet nozzle will be pointed downstream of the flow field
during this heating phase to prevent the premature accumulation of
particulates in the impactor.

        A predetermined flow rate will be established immediately and will
be maintained constant throughout the test.  Attempts to modulate flow to
compensate for changes in the duct flow rate and to maintain isokinetic
sampling would destroy the utility of the data by changing the cut points
of the individual stages.  Establishment of the correct flow rate quickly
is especially important for the short sampling times typical of  coal fuels.
If a non-standard flow is necessary, the true cut points will be calculated
for the actual flue gas temperature and impactor pressure drop.
                                      378

-------
         KVB has  found that the post-test procedure is very important in
 obtaining accurate  measurements.   The crucial part is to make sure the
 collected material  stays  where it originally impacted.   After the test, the
 impactor will be carefully removed from the duct without jarring, unscrewed,
 from the probe,  and allowed to cool.   Proper disassembly is critical as
 discussed below.
        1.  Brink Impactor:  Careful disassembly of a Brink impactor is
necessary  for obtaining good stage weights.  If a precollector cyclone has
been used, all material from the nozzle to the outlet of the cyclone is
included with the cyclone catch.  All of this material is brushed onto a
small 3 cm x 3 cm aluminum foil square and saved for weighing.  Cleaning
the nozzle is also "important, especially if it is a small bore nozzle.
        All material between the cyclone outlet and the second stage nozzle
will be included with material collected on the first collection substrate.
All adjacent walls will be brushed off, as well as around the underside
of the nozzle where a halo frequently occurs on the upper Brink stages.
All material between the second stage nozzle and third stage nozzle will
be included with that on the second collection substrate.  This process
will be continued down to the last collection substrate.  Finally, care will
be exercised in taking out the  filter.

         2,  Andersen Impactor:  The foil to hold the  stage 1 substrate
 will be laid out.  Next the nozzle and entrance cone  will be brushed
 out and onto the foil.  Then the material on stage 0  will be brushed
 off.  Next, any material on the top 0-ring and bottom of stage 0 will
 be brushed onto the foil.  The stage 1 filter substrate material will
 then be placed on the foil and, finally, the top of the stage 1 plate
 Q-ring and cross peice will be brushed off.  Depending on how tightly
 the impactor was assembled, some filter material may  stick to the O-ring
 edge contacting the substrate.  This will be carefully brushed onto
 the appropriate foil.  This process will be continued through the lower
 stages and the filter.
                                      379

-------
        All substrates, the backup filter, and the control blanks are
cooled to room temperature in a desiccator and weighed to £ 0.01 mg.
The weighing chamber of the balance also will be desiccated.  Samples
and blanks are returned to the desiccator overnight and reweighed
until constant weight is established.  The substrates are weighed soon
after the end of the test so that the data will be available for setting
up the following test.
        Upon their arrival, the field test crew undertakes the combustion
modification testing, including total particulate measurement.  While
this initial testing is being done an estimate of the grain loading
and particle size is made.  The data used to select an isokinetic
nozzle for the EBA Train is also used to select a nozzle for the
impactor.  In no case is an impactor nozzle of less than two millimeters
diameter to be used.
        Measurements are made at a sufficient number of points across
the flue or smoke stack, as specified by 1PA Method 5, to make certain
that a representative sample of particulates is obtained.  Whenever
possible, the impactor is oriented vertically so that the flow through
it is directed downward.  This will minimize the tendency of the particulates
to fall off the'stages.  When horizontal orientation is unavoidable, extra
care will be taken not to jar the impactor against the flue during removal
and cause particulates to fall from the stages,
        When coal fuel is  fired and  sampling  is done upstream of the dust
collector, the percentage  (by weight) of  material larger  than ten micro-
meters is appreciable.   In such cases a precutter cyclone,  such as  that
shown in Figure B-ll and currently used with  the Brink impactor, is used
to prevent the upper impactor stages from overloading.  A precutter cyclone
is used during the preliminary orientation run, and if the  weight of material
obtained by the precutter  is comparable to that on the first  stage, the
precollector is used on  subsequent runs.
        The length of the  sampling is dictated by grain  loading and the
particulate size distribution.  An estimate can be made  from  the following
typical data gathered during  previous KVB test programs.

        The flow rate and nozzle size are closely coupled, and requirements
for isokinetic or near-isokinetic nozzle flow sometimes force a compromise
on nozzle selection.  The general order of priorities used by investigators
to determine nozzle size in the field is (!) nozzle diameter (minimum only),
(2) last stage jet velocity, (3) isokinetic flow rate required, and (4)
nozzle diameter if greater than 2.0 mm.
        The largest nozzle diameter should be used to minimize sampling errors
resulting from nozzle inlet geometry.  Investigators have reported that when
very small nozzles have been used with the Brink impactor, there have been
some cases in which large amounts of material were retained in the nozzle or
the nozzle has been completely blocked.  The smallest diameter nozzle KVB uses
is 2.0 mm.  In some instances, a 90-degree elbow may be necessary due to port
location and gas flow direction, but_these situations will be avoided when
possible.  Problems in cleaning elbows may occur as well as difficulties in
determining the size interval(s) from which the deposited material originated.
When these problems cannot be avoided, nozzle bends will be made as smooth as
possible and of sufficiently large radius to minimize the disturbance of the
flow.
        For light oil fuel, 300 minutes was required to collect a measurable
sample.  On the other hand, with coal, only 59 minutes was required.  The long
test time for No. 2 oil was necessary because, a low-flow-rate Brink brand
impactor was used.  To avoid long test time KVB used a high-flow-rate impactor
when the flue gas grain loading was low.  However, in no case will the test
duration be less than 60 minutes in order to allow for short-term variations
in the operation of the combustion device.

B.I.3.4 Smoke Spot
        On combustion equipment where smoke numbers normally are taken,
such as oil-fired boilers, KVB, Inc. determines the smoke number using
test procedures according to ASTM Designation:  D 2156-65.  The smoke
number is determined at each combustion modification setting of the
unit.  Examples are baseline, minimum excess air, low load, etc., and
whenever a particulate concentration is measured.
        Smoke spots are obtained by pulling a fixed volume of flue gas
through a fixed area of a standard filter paper.  The color (or shade) of
the spots that are produced are visually matched with a standard scale.
The result is a "Smoke Number" which is used to characterize the density
of smoke in the flue gas.
        The sampling device is a hand pump similar to the one shown
in Figure B-12.  It is a commercially available item that can pass 36,900
+_ 1650 cu cm of gas at 16°C and 1 atmosphere pressure through an enclosed
filter paper for each 6.S sq cm effective surface area of the filter
paper.

        The smoke spot sampler is provided with a motor-driven
actuator to ensure a constant sampling rate independent of variations
in stroke rate that can occur when the sampler is operated manually.
                                     383

-------
        The required smoke scale consists of a series of ten spots numbered
consecutively from 0 to 9, and ranging in equal photometric steps from white
through neutral shades of gray to black.  The spots are imprinted or other-
wise processed on white paper or plastic stock having an absolute surface
reflectance of between 82.5 and 87.5%, determined photometrically.  The
smoke scale spot number is defined as the reduction (due to smoke) in the
amount of light reflected by a soiled spot on the filter divided by 10.
        Thus  the first spot, which is the color of the unimprinted scale,
will be No. 0.  In this case there will be no reduction in reflected inci-
dent light directed on the spot.  The last spot, however, is very dark,
reflecting only 10% of the incident light directed thereon.  The reduction
in reflected incident light is 90%, and this spot is identified as No. 9.
Intermediate spot numbers are similarly established.  Limits of permissible
reflectance variation of any smoke scale spot shall not exceed +_ 3% relative
reflectance.
        The test filter paper is made from white filter paper stock
having absolute surface reflectance of 82.5 to 87.5%, as determined by
photometric measurement. . When making this reflectance measurement, the
filter paper will be backed by a white surface having absolute surface
reflectance of not less than 75%.
        When clean air at standard conditions is drawn through clean filter
paper at a flow rate of 47.6 cu cm per sec per sq cm effective surface
area of the filter paper, the pressure drop across the filter paper will
fall between the limits of 1.7 and 8.5 kPa (1.3 and 6.4 cm of mercury).
        The sampling procedure is specified in D 2156.  A clean, dry, sampling
pump will be used.  It will be warmed to room temperature to prevent condensa-
tion on the filter paper.  When taking smoke measurements in the flue pipe,
the intake end of the sampling probe is placed at the center line of the flue.
When drawing the sample, the pressure in the flue gas stream and the sampler
is allowed to equalize after each stroke.
                                     384

-------
        The smoke density is reported on the Mobile Lab Data Sheet as Smoke
Spot Number on the standard' scale most closely corresponding to test spot.
Differences between two standard Smoke Spot Numbers will be interpolated to
the nearest half number.  Smoke Spot Numbers higher than 9 will be reported
as "Greater than No. 9."
        This procedure is deemed to be reproducible to within +_1/2 of a
Smoke Spot Number under normal conditions where no oily stain is deposited
on the disk.
        KVB's field experience with industrial boilers has been that the
human factor involved in the interpretation of the smoke spot by an experi-
enced observer does not cause a significant lack of precision.
B.I.3.5 Opacity
        Opacity readings are taken by a field crew member who is a certificated
graduate of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved- "Smoke School".
Observations are made when particulate measurements are made.  Additional
observations are made when necessary to gather the maximum amount of
information.  The procedures set forth..in EPA Method 9, "Visual Determina-
tions of the Opacity of Emissions for Stationary Sources" are followed.
        Observations are made and* recorded at 15 second intervals while
particulate concentration is being measured and at other times after the
unit has stabilized.  Before beginning observations, the observer determines
that the feedstock or fuel is the same as that from which the sample was
taken for the fuel analysis.
        Before beginning opacity observations, the observer makes arrangements
with the combustion unit operator to obtain the necessary process data for the
standard KVB Control Room Data Sheet.  The control room data are recorded for
the entire period of observations,  as is customarily done by KVB during an
emissions test.  The process unit data that are obtained include:
                                     385

        The observer requests the appropriate plant personnel to
briefly review and comment on the opacity measurements and process
data and the observer will comment on:
        a.  the basis for choosing the observation periods used;
        b.  why it is believed the periods chosen constitute periods
            of greatest opacity ?
        c.  why the observations span a time period sufficient to
            characterize the opacity.
        Consideration is given to postponing the EPA Method 5 particulate
tests during periods of cloudy or rainy weather because of the inability
of the observer to monitor the smoke.                         :*

C-l.Q   INTRODUCTION
        Sampling and analysis procedures for trace species and organics
emissions used in the current program were based on procedures developed
by the EPA Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory at Research
Triangle Park, NC.  The IERL-RTP procedures are defined in a procedures
manual prepared for EPA by TRW Systems Group (Ref. C-l)  that relates the
procedures in terms of a multi-media Level I stream prioritization
sampling and a Level II detailed assessment sampling.  Although those
sampling procedures were adapted for the current program,  this program
was not formulated in the specific Level I-Level II framework.  Level I
sampling is intended to show the presence or absence and,  within a fac-
tor of _+ 2 to 3, the emission rates of all inorganic elements, selected
inorganic anions and classes of organic compounds.  The current program
objective is to obtain qualitative and quantitative data for a large
number of elements (approximately 60) by use of spark source mass spec-
trometry.   This  objective is similar to the Level I philosophy.  A
second objective of the current program, more related'to the Level II
definition, is to more accurately quantify the emissions of the elements,
species, and organics as shown in Table C-l, and to relate the emissions
of these species, by mass balance, to the amounts input with fuel or
process materials.  In addition to total quantities, information is
required on the relationship of particulate species emissions to parti-
culate size.
        The referenced Level I procedures manual refers to several
multi-media sampling procedures.  The current program is more narrowly
concentrated on exhaust emissions from the stacks of industrial com- *
bustion devices.  Therefore Chapter III "Gaseous Streams Containing
Particulate Matter" of the referenced manual is that portion pertinent
to the current program..  That chapter discusses sampling with
a "Source Assessment Sampling System" CSASS3.  The features of that

C-2.0   PREPARATION OF XAD-2 RESIN
C-2.1   General Procedure
        The XAD-2 resin to be used in the SASS train sorbent trap must
be cleaned prior to use.  The resin as obtained from  the  supplier is
soaked with an aqueous salt solution.  This salt solution plus residual
monomer and other trace organics must be removed before the resin can
be used for sampling trace organics.
        Clean-up is normally achieved in a giant Soxhlet extractor.  Any
other continuous extractor working on the same principle of circulating
.distilled solvent would be adequate.
        The wet XAD-2 resin is charged into the extractor thimble and
extracted in sequence with refluxing solvent as follows:
        1.  Water, 20-24 hours
        2.  Methanol, 20-24 hours
        3.  Anhydrous ether, 8 hours  (during day only)
        4.  Pentane, 20r-24 hours
Methanol is used primarily to remove the water from the resin.  Ether
removes a substantial portion of the organics—overnight reflux is
acceptable if apparatus is secure to the hazards of ether.  Pentane is
used as the final stage because it is the solvent used to extract the
resin after sample collection.
        A commercial giant extractor has a dumping volume of 1500 ml and
thus about 2.5 1 of solvent is -required in a 3 1 flask.
        After the final pentane extraction, the resin is transferred to
a clean flask and dried under vacuum aided by mild heat from a heat lamp.
Care should be taken  (traps) to prevent backstrearning from vacuum systems.

C- 2.2   Soxhlet Cleaning of XAD-2
        Follow the general procedure given above.  However, the follow-
ing procedural details may be helpful to those not familiar with operating
the Soxhlet extractors.  These recommendations and comments are based on
our recent experience in preparing XAD-2 for EPA SASS tests.

        1.  Quality of  solvents*

           Water:  Arrowhead  distilled
           Methanol:   anhydrous methyl alcohol, Mallinckrodt, AR grade
           Anhydrous ether:   anhydrous  (ethyl) ether,  Mallinckrodt,
              AR grade
           Pentane:  Mallinckrodt,  spectr. AR grade

        2.  The  use of  paper  (cellulose)  thimbles was recommended
           by ADL.  With  a soft lead pencil,  mark  on the outside
           of the thimble the desired fill line which  corresponds
           to the entrance level  of the  syphon tube when the thimble
           is inserted into the extractor.  Handle the thimble with
           plastic gloves,

        3.  Fill (i.e., "charge")  the thimble  with  XAD-2 using a
           stainless steel spoon.  Intermittently  moisten  the XAD-2
           with distilled water (from a  plastic wash bottle) to
           compact the XAD-2  in the thimble.  Excess water will
           flow through the walls of the thimble.  In  this manner,
           add  XAD-2 up to the  pencil fill line.

        4.  Install the charged  thimble in the extractor, place
           approximately  300  ml of distilled  water in  the  Soxhlet
           flask and assemble the Soxhlet extractor.   Room temperature
           tap  water is adequate  for the condenser cooling.

           'When inserting the charged thimble into the Soxhlet,  make
           a small indent at  the  bottom  of the thimble to  avoid
           obstructing the inlet  to the  syphon tube.,

        5.  Bring the water to a boil and allow the extractor to
           syphon several times (one hour of  operation is  adequate).
           Discard the flask  contents, refill with fresh distilled
           water and continue the extraction.  By  discarding the
           initial water, most  of the salt originally  contained  in
           the  raw XAD-2  is removed from the  system.   This will  prevent
           salt carryover back  into the  XAD-2 and  will "even out"
           the  boiling.

        6.  The  methanol solvent should also be replaced in a similar
           fashion.  This assures complete removal of  the  water.
            (Any water  remaining during the ether extraction stage
           will "plug" the XAD-2 pores thereby interferring with
           the  ether extraction.)   Three hundred  to four  hundred
           ml of methanol in  the  extraction flask  is adequate for all-
           night operation.   Use  room temperature  tap  water for  the
           condenser.

 7,   For the ether and pentane extraction,  a circulating ice
     bath should be used for condenser cooling to minimize vapor
     loss through the top of the condenser.  Three hundred to
     four hundred ml of solvent is adequate for all-night pentane
     operation.   To avoid condensing water  (from the air)
     on the inside of the condenser during  startup, operate
     the Soxhlet for several minutes without condenser
     cooling (until solvent vapors purge out the air)  before
     turning on the circulating water.

 8.   Use extreme caution when handling ether and pentane.
     Both are -extremely volatile and highly flammable.  Make
     sure all heating mantles, electrical equipment, etc.  are
     off while containers are open.

 9.   The Soxhlet reflux rate can be judged  by observing the
     drip rate from the condenser onto the  X&D-2.  One to Two
     drops per second is desirable.  This is accomplished
     by adjusting the power to the heating  mantle.  For this
     condition,  the water may be boiled vigorously but no*
     boiling (bubbling) will be observed for the other three
     solvents.

10.   When changing over from one solvent to another, residual
     solvent remaining in the thimble and extractor should be
     removed to as high degree as practical(i.e., do not
     desiccate or vacuum dry).  One approach which works
     quite well is to apply suction to the  discharge end of the
     Soxhlet syphon tube.  The use of a plastic "filtering
     pump"  (an aspirator pump operated by tap water from the
     faucet) has proved adequate,

11.   While drying the X&D-2 in the vacuum desiccator, heat to
     approximately 120°F using heating lamps.  Do not use
     vacuum grease on the desiccator.  Protect the vacuum pump
     from pentane vapors with a carbon trap.  The XAD-2 may
     be left in the paper thimbles while drying in the
     desiccator.  Use a filter  (i.e., cotton in a flask)
     between the carbon trap and the desiccator to prevent
     backflow of carbon into the XAD-2 in the event of a.
     rapid loss of desiccator vacuum.

C-3.0   PREPARATION FOR A SAMPLING RON
C~ 3.1   Containers, Chemicals, and Laboratory Equipment
        Table C-2 lists the samples to be recovered from the SASS train
and the recommended containers used for sample storage and shipping.
In some cases more than one container may be required.  All containers
should be cleaned prior to use according to the procedure used for
cleaning the train as described in Section C-2.2.
Laboratory Equipment--
        All sample recovery operations, sample weighing, and chemical
cleaning of train components and containers should be performed in a
clean area specially set aside for this work.  In the field, this
"clean room" should consist of at least a clean enclosed work bench
or table top and every attempt should be made to observe the following
general recommendations:
        1.   Avoid drafts and areas with high foot traffic
        2.   Keep floors swept to minimize air borne dust
        3.   Use plastic table cloths
        4.   Inlet filters on air conditioners should be in place
        5.   Use common sense to avoid contaminating samples with
             hair, fingerprints, perspiration, cigarette smoke or
             ashes, etc.
        6.   Use plastic gloves or forceps when handling tared
             containers; stainless steel tweezers when handling
             filters
        In addition to  sample containers listed in Table C-2, the
following clean room accessories will be required:
        SASS train tool kit
        stainless  steel tweezers (2)
        stainless  steel spatulas (2)
        disposable plastic gloves

Quality of Chemicals—
        An underlying concern in selecting chemicals for impinger solu-
tion and washes is to avoid introducing trace compounds similar to those
being analyzed.  Although "blanks" of impinger solutions will be analyzed,
it is preferable to minimize chemical impurities when possible by using
highest quality chemicals rathern than adjust the final sample analyses
results.  The following chemical grades were used:

 C-3.2   Cleaning the SASS Train
        Newly purchased or previously unused train components and sample
 containers  should be washed with tap water and a plastic scouring pad.
 All  surfaces in the sampling train which come in contact with sample,
 as well as  all sample  containers and impingers, should be prepassivated
 by one-hour standing contact with a 50:50% volume solution of pure nitric
 acid and  distilled water.  Remove any remaining traces of acid by rinsing
 with tap  water, then continue with the solvent cleaning procedure below.
        Prior to sampling, all SASS train components and sample con-
 tainers are cleaned in two or three successive stages  (in the order
 listed) using a different solvent in each stage:
       All Except Impinger Sample Bottles   Impinger Sample Bottles
        1.   distilled water               1.   distilled water
        2.   isopropyl alcohol             2.   isopropyl alcohol
        3.   methylene chloride  (CH.Cl.)
 The  distilled water may be dispensed in plastic wash bottles; the iso-
 propyl alcohol and^CH^Cl- should be dispensed using teflon or glass wash
•bottles.  After each part is washed with CK^CI.-, it should be dried in
 a filtered  stream of dry air or nitrogen.
        Any solid residues adhering to the internal surfaces should be
 removed with tap water and a plastic scouring pad before preceding with
 the  solvent cleaning procedure.

         After cleaning,  assemble and cap off the cyclone assembly.
  (All caps  should be previously cleaned according to the above 3-solvent
 procedure.)  Cap off other sections of the train including the probe,
 XAD-2 module, filter housing, impinger trains,  and interconnecting
 hoses.

        Use 750 gm or approximately 750 cc of 8 mesh color indicating
        Drierite (CaSO )
        When installing the top on the impinger bottle,  avoid forcing
        Drierite "up into the center tube as this results in increased
        pressure drop. Lay impinger on side while inserting top.
        It may be necessary to replace the Drierite several times
        during a SASS run.  A marked decrease in Impinger #4 outlet
        temperature (moisture absorption by Drierite produces heat)
        may signal Drierite depletion if the Drierite color change
        is difficult to detect.
        The spent Drierite is not kept for analysis and  can be dis-
        carded or, preferably, rejuvenated for future use by heating
        in a drying oven at 220°F to 250°F to blueness.
C-3.4   Filter Preparation
        More than one filter will be required when particulate grain
loading is high (i.e., pulverized coal units, cement kilns, etc.).
Using stainless steel tweezers, place each filter in a clean, numbered
150 mm glass petri dish.  Bake at 220°F for at least three hours in a
drying oven, then immediately transfer to a desiccator to cool.
        Weigh the petri dish (plus f11tar).  Weigh a second time,
preferably several hours later, to confirm the initial weighing.  This
is the tare weight used to determine the mass particulata catch on the
filter.
        The type of filter used is a Gelraan type A/E binderless glass
fiber.filter  (142 mm diameter), purchased through Scientific Products,
C-3.5   SASS Train Assembly
        Transport each separate train component to the sample port
area with all sealing caps in place.  When removing caps for connection
of components, make certain no foreign matter enters the components.
If the ambient dust level is high, the train should be covered with
plastic drop cloths.  Before installing the probe nozzle and with the
probe capped, turn on the vacuum pump and leak check the system.  Leakage
rate should be held to 0.05 cfm at 20 "Hg pump suction.   Avoid over-
tightening fittings and clamps.

C-3.6    SASS Chemical "Blanks"

         a.   Blanks from impingers #2 and #3 should be prepared in the
             field with the same distilled water used in preparing the
             inpinger solution.  To prepare a  1000 ml blank,  mix  the
             following ingredients and  dilute  to  1000 ml with distilled
             water:

             1.   45.7gm crystalline  (NH.). S20g

             2.   200  ml 0.1 N A NO,
                               g  3
         b.   Blanks of impinger #1 can be prepared in the field
             with the same HO  and distilled water used for  the
             impinger solution.

         c.   Blanks of the wash solutions should be obtained  in the
             field (i.e., IPA, 50:50 meth, chlor. — methanol, H20).

         d.   At least one filter blank should be processed in the
             same manner as sample filters; one blank per test
             site.

         e.   At least one blank sample of the XAD-2 resin should be
             preserved for each test site.

C-4.0   SAMPLING PROCEDURES
        The SASS train is basically a high volume Method 5 system modi-
fied to collect trace metal and organic compounds which would normally
pass through the standard Method 5 train.  The major design differences
apparent in Figure C-l are the XAD-2 adsorbent module, multiple cyclone
assembly, and new impinger solutions.  The SASS train is operated in
much the same fashion as a Method 5 train, but there are a number of
modifications as discussed below.
G-4.1   Sample Flowand Isokinetic Conditions
        To preserve the cyclone "cut-off" points, the sampling flow
rate is adjusted to maintain approximately 4.0 awcfm  (actual wet cubic  feet
per minute) at the required 400°P cyclone oven temperature conditions.
Since isokinetic sampling is also still required, both these constraints
are satisfied to the highest degree possible by  selecting the optimum
probe nozzle diameter.
                                                            * »
        After stack velocities, temperatures, and oxygen levels are
established by the preliminary stack traverse, the nomogram, Section  C-5,
may be used to select the proper nozzle diameter and "rough in" the
required sampling rate (but see STEP 5 below).   However, if stack con-
ditions are encountered that are not covered by  the.noroogram, the
following computational procedure may be used for each sampling location.

STEP 2:
        Compare the cyclone flow rate from Equation  (2a) to the desired
rate of 4.0.  If the values compare to within +_ 10%, proceed to next
step.  Otherwise, calculate a stack velocity from Equation  (2b) using
a value for Q   which is within 10% of 4.0  [i.e., use 3.6 or 4.4,
whichever is closest to the value obtained from Equation  (2a)].  This
calculated stack velocity should be within 10% of the actual stack
velocity.  If not, stack conditions are very unusual and greater than
10% "tolerances" are necessary (i.e., deviations from isokinetic condi-
tions a/o deviations from 4.0 cfm conditions at the cyclone will be
necessary).
                                    403

-------
STEP 3:
        Calculate the meter flow rate from Equation (3)  using the cyclone
flow determined in the previous step.
STEP 4:
        Determine the approximate orifice AH corresponding to the flow
rate from the previous step.  Use the nomogram plot of dH versus flow
rate determined experimentally for the particular control box and orifice.
This is based on the mid-size orifice of the three in the control box.
STEP 5:
        The value of M determined in the previous step  (or from the
nomograph) will be adequate to "rough in" the flow rate when the SASS
train is first turned on.  However, as soon as possible, obtain more
accurate settings using the actual measured meter temperature and the
actual meter flow rate obtained from the meter readout and a stopwatch.
C-4.2   Organic Adsorber Module Operation
        When the XAD-2 module is operated "cold" to condense moisture
from the sample, the following procedure may be used to transfer conden-
sate from the condensate cup at the base of the module to the' condensate
collection flask.  This is necessary to avoid overfilling the condensate
cup which would result in condensate carryover into the irnpingers,
        This transfer procedure can be accomplished without interrupt-
ing the sampling.  The procedure should be performed frequently at the
start of a test until the actual condensate collection rate is established.
STEP 1:
        Inspect the condensate collection flask and interconnecting tube
to confirm that all fittings are tight.
STEP 2:
        Partially close off the large  (1/2-inch) ball valve at the inlet
to the XAD-2 module until the vacuum gage on the pump increases by about
2 in. of mercury.
                                  404

-------
STEP 3s
        Open the condensate drain valve at the bottom of the module.
Since the collecting flask is initially at a higher pressure than
the inside of the nodule, air will flow from the flask into the
module (bubbling through the collected condensate)  until pressures are
equalized.
STEP  4:
        After a few seconds,to allow the equilibration of pressures,
open  the  1/2-inch ball valve.  This raises the pressure in the module
relative  to the collection flask, forcing any condensate into the
bottle.
STEP  5:
       _After all the condensate has been transferred, close the drain
valve.
C-4.3  Drierite
        See Section C-2.3 for comments on Drierite depletion and
renewal  (Impinger #4).
C-4.4  Filter Changes
        When sampling coabustion effluents with high particulate loading,
plugging  of the filter may occur before adequate sample volume is obtained.
In  this event, it will be necessary to shut the train down and install a
new filter.
        The rate of filter plugging is evident by the gradual increase
in  sample punp vacuum required to maintain sample flow.  To minimize
filter changes, the train may be operated with pump vacuums of 15 to
20  "Hg or until desired sample flow cannot be maintained.
                                   405

C-5.0   TRAIN DISASSEMBLY AND SAMPLE RECOVER*
1.      After turning off train and withdrawing probe from stack,  open
        the cyclone oven to expedite cooling (turn oven cooling fan on)
2.      Disconnect probe and cap off both probe ends and inlet to  10U
        cyclone.
3.      Disconnect the line joining the cyclone oven to the XAD-2
        module at the exit side of the filter and cap off the filter
        holder exit and the entrance to the joining line which was
        disconnected from the filter holder exit point.
4.      Disconnect the line joining the XAD-2 module to the irapinger
        system at" the point where it exits the XAD-2 module.  Cap  off
        the exit of the XM>-2 module and the entrance to the joining
        line leading to the impinger system.
5.      Disconnect the line exiting the Drierite impinger at the
        point where it leaves the impinger and cap off the impinger
        exit.  Discard ice and water from the- impinger box to facili-
        tate carrying.
6,      Carry .the probe, cyclone-filter assembly, XAD-2 module (plus
        joining line and condenaate collection flask) and irapinger
        train  (plus joining line) to the clean room for sample
        recovery.  Before entering the clean room, clean off all loose
        particles from the exterior surfaces of the train components
        using compressed air, brushes, etc.
7.      Procedure for transferring samples from the various portions
        of the SASS train into storage containers is outlined in the
        flow diagrams on Figures C-2, C-3, and C-4..  Place copies  of
        these diagrams in an easily visible location in the clean  room
        for quick reference during the sample recovery and transfer
        operations.

C-7.0   SAMPLE PREPARATION AND ANALYSIS
        Samples were analyzed by Calspan Corp.,  Buffalo,  NY,  by atomic
absorption, gas chromatography and wet chemistry.   Spark  source mass
spectrographic (SSMS) analyses were performed by Commercial Testing and
Engineering, Golden, COf as a subcontract to Calspan's work.   Calspan and
CTE analyzed preselected samples that include base samples, blanks, and
duplicates.  Additional samples were submitted to Battelle Memorial Institute,
Columbus, OH for analysis of POM by gas chromatograohy/mass spectrometry.

C-7.1   Sample Size
        The sample size required for analysis is dependent on how much
sample can be obtained from the SASS train.  Table C-5 lists the detec-
tion limit and sensitivity for all sample components to be analyzed.
For metal analysis, 200 ml of impinger liquids are necessary.  For solid
samples, 4 to 5 grams are necessary.  Analysis for chloride,  fluoride,
sulfate, and nitrate requires up to 200 ml of liquid sample and 5 grams
of solid sample.  PCS and POM analysis requires 10 to 50 grams of solids
and as much liquid as can be obtained  (> 500 ml).  Additional sample is
required for SSMS analysis.
        The sample amounts given are desired amounts.  Analysis can be
achieved on much smaller samples but with a sacrifice in detection
capability for desired components.  The detection of individual compo-
nents, however, cannot be greater than the detection limits and sensi-
tivities given in the table.  Detection limits may also be higher for certain
types of sample matrix.
C-7.2   Sample preparation
        Analysis of SASS train samples involves pretreatment  of the
samples after collection to place them in a form suitable for chemical
analysis.  Atomic absorption requires that each sample be predissolved
or be in the liquid phase.  The technique for solubilization of the

metals is based on methods utilized by'the National Bureau of Standards
(Ref. C-2) for solubilizing both highly organic materials such as coal
and inorganic materials such as fly ash prior to sample analysis.  The
outlined techniques allow for wet chemical ashing of material that
prevents loss of volatile elements like mercury, arsenic, and selenium.
The methods given use concentrated mineral,  acids, and a strong oxidizing
acid, perchloric  (HC1O,), to decompose organic materials.
        One gram of highly organic material (coal, tar residue, fuel
oil, etc.) is transferred to a Teflon beaker.  The sample is slowly
digested for several hours in 25 ml of NHO  and cooled.  A mixture of
5 ml of HP and 10 ml of HC1O. is added and the digestion is continued
at low heat.  Extreme care is necessary, because excessive temperatures
can cause decomposition and explosion.  Digestion is continued until
all carbonaceous material has been destroyed.  The solution is then
transferred to a 50 ml volumetric flask and diluted to a calibrated
volume.
        Low organic samples (fly ash, bottom ash, cement kiln dust,
etc.) are accurately weighed to one gram in a Teflon beaker.  A mix-
ture of 5 ml of HNO  and 5 ml of HF is added.  The beaker is covered
and the sample digested for one hour.  After complete cooling, 10 ml
of HC1O  is added and the digestion is continued until all carbo-
naceous material has been destroyed.  The cover is then removed and
the sample evaporated to dryness and baked until the solids turn brown
around the edges.  A mixture of 2 ml of HC1 and 35 ml of distilled water
is added and the solution heated slightly until all solids dissolve.
The solution is then transferred to a 50 ml volumetric flask and diluted
to a calibrated volume.
        Liquid samples from the SASS train  are stabilized with 1 ml
of concentrated nitric acid to every 200 ml of impinger liquid.  Whenever
possible,liquids are concentrated by boiling to one-half their received
volume to concentrate trace elements.
                                  419

-------
      .  Both predissolved and concentrated liquids are analyzed
using atomic absorption spectroscopy using the most sensitive aspiration
techniques available.  Analysis for both PCB and POM will involve extrac-
tion and concentration prior to analysis.  The PCB and POM are coextracted
by liquid-liquid or liquid-solid extraction.
        Solid samples (^ 50 grams)  are extracted with benzene using
a Soxhlet extractor.  The extract is concentrated using a Xuderna-
Danish evaporator to reduce the extract volume to 10 ml.  Aliquots 2 to .
5 ul are injected directly into a gas chromatograph for PCB and
POM analysis after liquid-solid column separation and clean-up.
        Both POM and PCB,after extraction with benzene,are isolated
as a class using adsorption chromatography by a technique called the
Rosen separation (Refs. C-3 and C-4).  This technique entails adsorption
of the total sample on a silica gel column.  The initial effluent from
the column when washed with pentane will contain an aliphatic hydrocarbon
fraction.  The aromatic hydrocarbon fraction is eluted with benzene.
The benzene fraction which contains all POM and PCB is analyzed
using gas chromatography employing FID and EC detectors.
        Detection and measurement of POM and PCB are accomplished by
using a gas chromatograph employing a flame ionization detector  (FID)
and an electron capture  (EC) detector equipped with Ni-63 source.
Confirmation is performed by comparing to POM standards and PCB standards
of known concentration and literature relative retention time data.
C- 7.3   Analysis Procedures
        Analysis for chlorine, fluorine, nitrates, and sulfates all
involve wet chemical processing prior to actual measurement.  Since all
chlorides, nitrates and most sulfates are water soluble, they can be
extracted from solid samples using a Soxhlet extractor.  The extraction
scheme to be used has been effectively used by the Bay Area Air Pollution
Control District, San Francisco  (Refs. C-5 and C-6).
                                 420

-------
        Fluorides, however, are not sufficiently soluble to allow for
effective aqueous extraction.  Solid samples are fused with sodium
hydroxide to convert all fluorides to soluble sodium fluoride.   The fused
melt is dissolved in 4 M HC1 and the resulting liquid analyzed as a
soluble fluoride.
        Liquid samples analyzed for chlorine, fluorine, nitrates,
and sulfates are analyzed directly by techniques specific for each
anion-
        Solubilized chloride is analyzed by adding dilute mercuric
nitrate solution to an acidified sample in the presence of mixed diphenyl-
carbozone-bromophenol blue indicator.  The end point of the titration is
the formation of a blue-violet mercury, diphenylcarbozone complex (Ref.
C-7).
        An alternative method involves direct measurement of chloride
with a specific ion electrode.  Both methods are used and checked
to obtain the best sensitivity on the submitted samples.
        Analysis for fluoride in liquid samples or solubilized fusion
products is performed by prior Bellack Distillation to remove
interfering substances.  After distillation, the fluoride is deter-
mined potentiometrically using a selective ion fluoride electrode
(Ref. C-8) .
        The analysis for nitrate is based upon the reaction of the nitrate
ion with brucine sulfate in a 13N H2SO. solution at 100°C.  The color of
the resulting complex is measured at 410 nm (Ref. C-8).
        Sulfate analysis is performed by converting sulfate ion to
barium sulfate suspension under controlled conditions.  The resulting
turbidity is determined on a spectrophotometer and compared to a curve
prepared from standard sulfate solutions (Ref. C-8).
                                   421

-------
        Metal analyses are performed on liquid and solid samples
after pretreatment and solubilization of materials as outlined earlier.
A Perkin-Elmer Model 460 atomic absorption spectrometer with microcom-
puter electronics is used in conjunction with conventional aspira-
tion and time integration techniques.  "Hie Model 460 is a relatively new,
highly sensitive instrument that allows accurate measurement of metal
concentrations.  In addition,  conventional hollow cathode source.lamps,
electrodeless discharge lamps  (EDL), are available for lead, mercury,
arsenic, and selenium.  These  special lamps are more stable and provide
for more initial energy to allow accurate detection of difficult-to-
analyze elements.
        Mercury is analyzed  by the cold vapor technique developed
by Hatch and Ott (Ref. C-9).  Arsenic and selenium are to be analyzed by
conversion of these elements with hydrogen to arsenic hydride and selenium
hydride vapor.  Each of the vapor techniques allows for low-level detec-
tion and quantization for each of these elements.
        A listing of the detection limits and sensitivity for each element
in liquid and solid samples is given in Table C-5 .  In the table, detection
limit is defined as the concentration that produces a signal equivalent to
twice the magnitude of the background.  Sensitivity is defined as the con-
centration in micrograms per milliliter of solution to produce a one
percent change in absorption or one percent change in the recording chart
readout.
        The detection limits for solid samples are based on a
one gram sample dissolved or extracted into 50 ml volumes of analysis ,
solution.  Each value given is conservative and is based on the possi-
bility of interference between components present.  If the sample is
relatively "clean", i.e., no interfering or high background substances,
detection limits may be even lower.
                                   422

-------
        Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and polycyclic organic materials
 (POM) are analyzed using a Hewlett-Packard Model 5700 gas chroma-
tograph equipped with a flame ionization and an electron capture detector.
The electron capture detector contains a radioactive source, Ni-63, and
is highly sensitive to chlorinated and highly conjugated organic compounds,
The flame ionization detector is sensitive to all hydrocarbons.  The gas
chromatographic column used in separation of components is four feet
long, packed with a substrate coated with 2.5% by weight of a liquid
crystal.
        The analysis column used is the one suggested by Janini (Ref.
C-10) specifically for POM separations.  Gas chromatographic column para-
meters are summarized below:
        Column length:      4' x 1/8" OD
        Column material:    Stainless steel
        Stationary phase:   2.5% BMBT*
        Support:            Chromosorb W HP, 100/120 mesh
        Flow:               40 ml/rain helium
        Temperature:        235°C, isothermal
        *N, N-bis  [p-methoxybenzylidene]- a, a1 - bi-p-toluidine
        The gas chromatograph is operated in the isothermal temperature
mode.  This is necessary due to the extreme temperature sensitivity•of
the electron .capture detector,  any attempt to temperature program would
result in a gross baseline drift.
        Alternate chroaatographic methodology and retention time data
has been obtained from an analytical method of Gouw, et al. (Kef. C-ll)
and Lao, et al.  (Ref. C-12).  Literature column retention time data is
available for all the desired POM listed in the request for proposal
with the exception of the dibenzo[c,g]carbazole.
                                    423

-------
        Four of the eight POM are commercially available and are used in
fixing retention times and in calibrating the instrument response factors for
the various components.  The 7,12 dimethyIbenz[a]anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene,
dibenz[a,b]anthracene, and 3-aethylcolanthrene POM are obtained from the
Eastman Kodak Company in the pure form.  The other POM listed are not avail-
able from any commercial source known, so literature relative retention time
data of the other POM is utilized to fulfill analyses requirements.
        The quantitization of total POM is made by taking the total
area of all POM and reporting the response area as if it were 9-methylanthra-
cene (C.gH,,,, Mol. Wt. 192.26),  If PCB is found to be present, the concen-
tration is subtracted from the total hydrocarbon response area.  The standards
used in measuring PCB response and retention times are known (Aroclor)
standards.  The eight individual POM specifically required for identification
are analyzed separately, and reported as such.  The eight materials are also
included in the total POM reported values.
C-7.4   Quality _Contro1
        Quality control is maintained by two principal modes.  Through-
out this study a number of samples are analyzed in duplicate to
assure precision of results.  More importantly, however, carefully prepared
analytical standards and blanks are utilized in preparing suitable calibration
curves, thereby assuring accurate measurement of data.  To test the accuracy,
known additions are made to 'samples that can be obtained in large enough
quantity to test for quantitative recoveries.

                         EFFICIENCY MEASUREMENTS

D.I     EFFICIENCY
        Unit efficiencies for boilers are calculated and reported accord-
ing to the ASMS Power Test Codes.   These codes present instructions for
two acceptable methods of determining thermal efficiency.  One method is
the direct measurement of input and output and requires the accurate
measurement of the quantity and high-heating value of the fuel, heat
credits and the heat absorbed by the working fluids.  The second
method involves the direct measurements of heat losses and is referred
to as the heat loss method.  This method requires the determination
of losses, heat credits and ultimate analysis and high-heat value of
the fuel.  Some of the major heat losses include losses due to heat
in dry flue gas, losses due to fuel moisture content, losses due to
combustible material in refuse and flue gas, and radiation losses.
Heat credits are defined as those amounts added to the process in
forms other than the chemical heat in the fuel "as fired".  These
include quantities such as sensible heat in the fuel, heat in the
combustion air, and heat from power conversion in a pulverizer or fan.
The relationships between input, output, credits and losses for a
steam generator are illustrated in Figure D-l.
        KVB's experience has shown the heat-loss efficiency determina-
tion method to be the most reliable when working with industrial
combustion devices.  However, methods developed for boilers must be
modified for other types of industrial equipment.  Accurate fuel input
measurements are rarely possible on industrial units due to the lack
                                    427

of adequate instrumentation thus making the input-output method
undesirable.  The accuracy of the efficiency based on the heat loss
method is determined primarily by the accuracy of the flue gas
temperature measurement immediately following the last heat removal
station, the stack gas excess O  level, the fuel analysis, the
ambient temperature, and proper identification of the combustion
device external surfaces (for radiation losses).  Determination of
the radiation and other associated losses may appear to be a rather
imposing calculation but in practice it can be accomplished by
utilizing standard efficiency calculation procedures.  Inaccuracies
in determining efficiency occasionally occur even with the heat loss
method primarily because of out-of-calibration unit instrumentation
such as the stack gas exit temperature.  However, this problem has
been resolved by KVB test engineers through the use of portable
instrumentation and separate temperature readings.
        The abbreviated efficiency test procedure which considers
only the major losses and the chemical heat in the fuel as input will
be followed.  Tables D-l and D-2 are the ASME Test Forms for Abbre-
viated Efficiency Tests on steam generators which exemplify the type
of forms to be used for recording the necessary data and performing
the required calculations.
        These efficiency procedures have been* developed primarily for
steam generators and were used for steam generators tested in this
program.  For other industrial combustion devices, there are no set
standards for efficiency computation.  Methods for efficiency deter-
mination for those devices were developed separately after inspection
of the devices and based on discussions with the device operators, and
were based primarily on stack loss calculations.

£.1.1   Field Measurements
        During testing, two sets of measurements are recorded:  (1) control
room data which indicate the operating condition of the device and (2)
mobile laboratory data that were the readouts of the individual analyzers.
Figure E-l is a copy of a typical data sheet used to record the control
room data and Figure E-2 is the data sheet for the mobile laboratory data.
        While the measurements are made, the console operator in the
laboratory fills in the mobile laboratory data sheet.  Normally the
tests will be conducted with the combustion device control in the manual
mode in order to stabilize operating conditions and accelerate the test
program.
        Concentrations of the following species are measured or calculated
and recorded:

        The concentration of all gaseous species are measured and
displayed continuously by analyzers and strip chart recorders located
in the instrumentation trailer.  The strip chart recorder tapes will
be retained for future reference.  The sulfur oxides, smoke, and
particulates will be measured at the sampling port and the measurements
recorded in data sheets.

        A number of data sheets have been developed for use in field
measurements of emissions.  They are listed below together with their
purpose.

   TABLE F-l.  GENERAL NOTES FOR TRACE SPECIES AND OBGANICS DATA TABULATIONS
1.  All sample data are rounded to two significant digits and corrected for
    blanks,

2.  Single number indicates all sample concentrations were above detection
    limits.

3.  Single number preceded by "<" indicates all samples were less than
    detection limits.  Value shown is maximum undetected amount.

4.  For two numbers separated by "<", the number on the left of < indicates
    the detected amount, and the number on the right indicates the maximum
    potential amount including amounts from samples with positive detection
    and amounts based on the detection limit for samples that were reported
    as below the detection limit.

5.  < DL, concentration below detection limits

    -B, sample value equals blank, net value assumed zero

    < Bt sample value less than blank, net value assumed zero

    MC, major component, exceeds maximum measurable quantity  (about 1000 yg/g
        for spark source mass spectrometry)

    NES, not enough sample for adequate analysis

    NR, not reported, results uncertain because of complex sample matrix
        composition

6.  Species for which either the emission rate or input  (or both) were below
    detection limits have mass balance values indicated as follows:

      < DL, both emission and input below detection limit
    -  > value, input value is below detection limit or emission value is
               above detection limit
      < value, emission value is less than detection limit.

                                INTRODUCTION

        The Aerothem prototype S&SS train was delivered to KVB for evaluation.
tests conducted on a boiler in the K7B laboratory burning West Virginia
Pittsburgh No. 8 coal.  The purpose of these tests was to determine the
ability of the train to collect all of the trace elements and organics
required for the current program.  By weighing and analysis of the coal and
all solid ashes and comparison with train catch, the ability of the train to
establish mass balances on the desired elements could be established.  In
addition to evaluation of the chemical performance of the train, mechanical
performance and suitability for field testing was evaluated and recommenda-
tions made for improved operation.

                                SECTION G-2.0
                   SOURCE ASSESSMENT SAMPLING SYSTEM__TEST_

        An evaluation test of the Source Assessment Sampling System  (SASS)
was conducted on July 21, 1976.
        The test was conducted on a KVB laboratory boiler firing Pittsburgh
No. 8 coal.  The SASS train and pulverized coal were obtained from Aerotherm.
The train was completely disassembled and cleaned according' to IERL-RTP SASS
procedures (Report EPA 600/2-76-160a, June 1976).
        XAD-2 organic absorbent was obtained from Arthur D. Little and loaded
into two canisters obtained from TRW.  The canisters each held 150 g of XAD-2.
        A broken weld on the 1 urn cyclone had to be rewelded by KVB.
Also many of the fittings on the train had been previously overtightened
and caused difficulty during assembly 'and filter changes during the
test.  Most of-the mechanical problems occurred with the cyclone
assembly.  The remainder of the train functioned satisfactorily.
        Samples were taken in a 0.28 m  (11 inch) diameter  stack above the
boiler.  A velocity traverse indicated uniform  flow to within +; 10%
of the average velocity of 12 rn/s  (40 ft/sec),  A  15.87 mm
(5/8 inch) probe nozzle was used.  The sampling rate was set for 4
actual CFM (.1133 am3/min)  at 478 °K (400 °F) to obtain    the cali-
brated cut points on the 3 cyclones.  Nominal cut points (DSQ)
are 12, 3 and 1 urn at this flow.  EPA-PMB*  (Bill Kuykendahl) had
indicated that the cyclones were to be redesigned for 4 SCFM  (.1133
sm /min)  so that 30 m3 could be collected in the 4.4 hour  sampling
period.  However, as the train had not been run at the higher flow
rate/ nor had the cyclones been calibrated at that flow, it was de-
cided to operate at the original design rate for a period of 7.5 hours,
to collect 30 m3  (1060 ft3).
 *EPA - Process Measurements Branch
                                      530

-------
        The sampling run required 11.75 hours elapsed time for 7.53
hours of actual sampling.  Dryerite was changed  5 times and the filter
was changed twice (1-2 hour required per change).  Filter change
required removal of the  complete eyelone-filter  assembly because of
"frozen" fittings.  During the second  change, one  filter holder fitting
galled and silastic sealent was required to  seal the  fitting.
        The objective established for train operation was to maintain
a 4 ACFM (.1133 am /min) sample rate at the  cyclones  within £ 10% and
to maintain isokinetic sampling within HK 10%.  The sampling rate
varied from 3.62 to 4.58 ACFM (.102-. 130 am /min)  and the percentage
of isokinetic flow varied froa 82% during initial start-up to a high
of 106%.  For the majority of the sampling time, the sampling rate
was within +_ 5% of isokinetic conditions.   The sample probe was
traversed to 3 points in the stack.  The total sample collected was
33.4 m  (1180 ft )  registered on the dry gas meter or 30.0 sm
(1060 SCF).
        A total of 1558 kg'(3427 Ib) of coal was burned in 16.7 hours
of boiler firing.  Following the test, ashes cleaned from the boiler
were:

Data from Aerotherm indicate ash content by 2 analyses of 7.53 and 7.84%.
Ash yield for the amount of coal burned should by  117-122 kg  (258-268 Ib)
Collected ash was within this range.
                                     531

-------
        A total of 1125 kg  (2475 Ib) of coal was burned during the
11.75 hour period from the start of sampling until sampling was
terminated.  For  the  7.53  hr of actual sampling train on time the coal
burned is estimated to be 721 kg {1586 Ib).  At an ash content of
7.5-7.8% and 35% of the ash transmitted out of the boiler to the
baghouse, the expected particulates isokinetic catch in the train is
61.3-63.8 g.  This is based on a duct to nozzle area ratio of 310/1.
The actual catch was:
                                       grams
             Probe solids               .0939

                                      77.0702

This catch is 20% greater than expected on the basis of coal burned.
The collected solid particulate concentration was 2.6 g/DSCM  (1.12  gr/DSCF)
or 950 ng/J  (2.23 lb/10  Btu).  The operating results are summarized in
Table G-l.
     Samples from the train and boiler ashes were recovered according
to  IEKL-TRP  procedures with assistance by a TRW representative.
Samples were split into two equal  parts with the exception of
probe, cyclone and filter washes.   The two sample batches and blanks
were delivered to TRW, Redondo Beach, CA, and to Calspan, Buffalo,
New York  for analysis.

Conclusions from the test are:
1.  The train functioned properly throughout the test with respect to
    sample acquisition capability.
2.  Mechanical problems with the cyclone assembly are attributed to the
    type of connecting fittings used.   The Swagelok fittings are not
    well suited for repeated use since deformation of mating surfaces
    (rendering separation difficult) is not easily avoided when a leak-free

    joint is desired.   The threaded parts also have a tendency to
    gall at elevated temperatures when no lubricants are used.
    Various possible lubricants will be investigated and Aerotherm
    plans modifications to improve the assembly and sealing,
3.  Ice consumption was excessive, 122 kg (270 Ib)  were used.
    Insulating the ice bath from surrounding air may help to
    maximize its cooling effectiveness.
4.  No condensation-occurred in the XAD-2 module operated at
    328 K (130 °P).  This temperature is above the due point
    for coal fuel and IEKL-PMB is considering a reduced temperature.
    The XAD-2 module satisfactorily maintained the adsorbent
   . temperature within 3 °K (5 °F) of the desired temperature.
5.  Boiler ash recovered was close to 100% of expected ash.
    SASS train particulate catch was 20% higher than expected.
    These results should provide a good basis for mass' balance
    of the trace elements.
6.  Pluggage of the sampling filter necessitated renewal of the
    filter element two times during the test.  Particulate grain  _      ' '
    loadings were similar to those encountered upstream of particulate
    removal devices at conventional pulverized coal fired
    boilers.  To minimize downtime for filter changes, a large filter
    design should be pursued to allow a 4 to 5 hour run period per  filter,

        As a result of the relatively successful test, fabrication  of a
new train for KVB field was performed.  All modifications possible  for
improved operation were incorporated.  Cyclone design flow remained at
0.113 am /rain (4 ACFM).
        Costs for SASS train support and spare equipment were significantly
higher than expected.  One important factor is the XAD-2.  Original costs
were estimated on the basis of Tenax and with the assumption that Tenax
could be recycled.  Both XAD-2 and Tenax can be recycled if analysis is
only done for organics.  However, post-use cleaning only provides for
organic removal.  Inorganics may build up to unacceptable background levels
and prevent reuse.

                   SASS TESTS ON KVB BOILER, ASH ANALYSES

        Sauries of the coal and ashes collected in the SASS at KVB were sub-
mitted to Aecu-Labs (A-L) and Commercial Testing and Engineering (CTE) for
standard analysis.  The results for the coal are presented in Table G-2.
Sample analyses provided to KVB by Aerotherm are also included.  These analyses
were for the coal prior to shipment to KVB,  Two analyses were performed by
A-L and CTE on a "total composite" sample of all coal burned during the entire
KVB boiler run.  Also, two analyses were run for a composite sample collected
for the coal only during the period of time when the SASS train was actually
collecting samples.  The composite samples were compiled by extracting equal
amounts of coal from 26 sample containers accumulated during the entire boiler
operating period.
        Except for moisture content, the three analyses performed by CTE are
quite consistent indicating little variation in coal properties.  The varia-
tion between laboratories on a given sample appears to be greater than the
variation between samples,
        A primary purpose in obtaining these analyses was to determine ash
content for comparison with total ash collected in the boiler.  The average
of as received ash analysis for all three samples is 7.66% compared with 7.63%
for the total composite sample and 7.68% for the SASS train run composite
sample.  Analyses were also performed on the collected boiler ashes.  Table
G-3 indicates the amount of each ash type recovered, carbon content, moisture
and amount recovered on a carbon-free, dry basis.  Carbon content in the
firetube ash was the highest (26%).  The total amount of carbon in all ash
samples is about 12 kg (26 Ib3.  A total of 1554 kb (3427 Ib) of coal was
burned.  At 76% carbon in the coal (1181 kg) the carbon combustion efficiency
was 98.98%, indicating that the boiler was properly operating.  At the average
ash content for the coal  (7.63%), a total of 119 kg (262 Ib) should have been
recovered.  Table G-3 indicates 108.1 kg (238 Ib) of carbon and moisture-free
ash were actually recovered, or 91% of the expected value.

              KVB _BOILER SASS TEST SAMPLED ANALYSIS, INORGANICS

        Table G-4 presents results for the major elements barium, calcium, and
titanium.  There was a substantial difference in concentration of barium
between the two coal samples (58 \ig/g in the composite sample of total coal
burned versus 81 yg/g in the coal sample collected only during the SASS run).
For calcium, the SASS run coal sample was 40% higher than the total sample.
Titanium was within 3% for both coal samples.
        The total coal sample and SASS run coal sample were composite samples
obtained from 26 separate coal samples collected during the run.  The majority
of the elements appeared to be consistent between the two samples.  Elements
that showed a fairly large difference include:  antimony, arsenic, barium,
cadmium, and fluoride.  The mercury content in both samples was < 0.03 yg/g.
Calspan had the SASS run coal sample analyzed by CTE using a .gold amalgamation-
AA method and a value of 0.03 yg/g was obtained, exactly equal to the Calspan
AA detection limit.
        Boiler ash collection appeared very good.  Total ash barium content was
93% of the total"coal sample barium content but only 66% of the SASS run coal
sample content.  Comparison of the boiler ash samples with the total coal
sample rather than the SASS run coal is more appropriate since the ash was
generated by the total amount of coal burned.  For calcium, the ash content
was 138% of total coal calcium and 108% of the SASS run coal content.  For
titanium, the ash  content was 95% of the total coal content and  92% of the
SASS run coal sample.
        SASS train collections of barium, calcium and titanium were also very
good.  The majority of these three elements was collected in the solids portion
of the train.  The specific concentrations  (yg/g)  in the cyclone solids are
comparable to the specific concentrations in the boiler baghouse ash.  Total
stack emissions of the three major elements were estimated by three methods:
                                     538

        1.  Area Ratio   - Duct Area/SASS Nozzle Area = 309
        2.  Volume Ratio = Total Stack Volume/SASS Sample Volume =  308
        3.  Solids Ratio = Baghouse Ash Weight/SASS Solids Weight =253
        These ratios are based on:
        Duct Area at Sample Point = 0.0613 m
                                     2
        SASS Nozzle Area = 0.000198 m
        Total Stack Volume = 9232 SCM ,  dry
        SASS Sample Volume = 30.02 SCM, dry
        Baghouse Ash Weight = 19,500 g
        SASS Solids Weight = 76.9 g
Mass balances based on each ratio and for the two coal samples are shown in
the table.  The balance was made by subtracting baghouse ash content from
total ash content,  adding the stack emission obtained by train collection
and dividing by the coal content.  The various balance values vary from 73
to 146%.   The mass balance on titanium was from 90 to 105%.  These are con-
sidered to be excellent results and /indicate that the basic sample collection
procedure was properly conducted.
        Table G-5   presents preliminary results for four of the more volatile
elements.  Sach element is discussed below.
        Arsenic
        The total arsenic collected in the boiler ashes is  94% of the total
coal arsenic (141% of SASS run coal content).  This suggests that the arsenic
did not behave as a volatile element.  The baghouse ash contained 38% of the
arsenic collected in the ashes and the baghouse total ash was 35% of the total
boiler ash.  Arsenic content of the total coal sample was 1.5 yg/g or 19.7
Ug/g if considered to be present only in the coal ash at an ash content of
7.63%.  Boiler ash concentrations varied from 12 to 26 Ug/g of arsenic (see
Appendix A) or an average of 18.1 Pg/g.  It would appear that all arsenic
remained in the boiler ash.  Essentially all of the arsenic collected in the
SASS train was present in the solids section, consistent with the above. How-
ever, the train solids concentrations were higher (40-100 Pg/g) than in the
ashes and the resultant total mass balance varied from 176 to 303%.  Arsenic
collected by the train, converted to total emission by the 3 ratios, exceeds
the total coal arsenic content.

        Antimony
        Only 0.1 to 0.2% of the antimony was retained in the boiler ashes.
This suggests that almost all antimony was vaporized and train collection
would be expected to occur in the impinger sections.  Such was not the case.
Sixty percent of the antimony was collected' in the train solids section.
Total antimony mass balance was 79 to  97% based on the SASS coal sample, in-
dicating excellent collection of antimony.  The high unexpected fraction found
in the solid section may indicate that as the sample is cooled from 625 K
(665°F)   stack temperature to 478 K (400°F)  cyclone temperature, condensation
of antimony may occur.  However, if that were the case, the antimony would
be enriched on the small particles and that did not occur as indicated below:
                                      Antimony

                        Filter       90       301
There was no significant increase in antimony concentration for smaller particle
size.
        Selenium
        Selenium concentrations were below detection limits for both coal
samples and all SASS train samples.  All boiler ash samples were above de-
tection limits.  No conclusions can therefore be drawn regarding selenium
collection.
        Mercury
        Coal mercury  content was relatively  low  (0.03  pg/g3 compared with
typical coal concentrations  (about  0.15  pg/g).  Only 18% of the mercury was
retained in the boiler ashes.   Some mercury  was collected  in  the  10 micron
cyclone and on the  filter but  77% was  collected in  the XAD2 wash  and impingers.
The  total mass balance was about 60% with the  largest  amount  collected in
Impinger No. 2.  If all  train  samples  for which mercury was below detection,
were taken at the detection limit values, total mercury collected would still
be only 89% of coal mercury.

-------
        Blank Values
        Comparison of test results for blanks and samples for the XAD2 resin
and the filter indicates that blank trace element contents were in several
instances higher than in the samples.
        Conclusions
        Based on major trace element mass balances, the KVB SA.SS test appears
to have been a satisfactory test run.  For volatile elements of main interest,
arsenic was collected in excess of the expected amount, antimony collection
was excellent on a mass balance basis, selenium was not present in sufficient
quantities to evaluate collection, and only about 60% of the mercury was
recovered by the train.

                   KVB BOILER TEST PARTICLE SIZE ANALYSIS

        The SASS train cyclones were designed for nominal cut sizes of 10,
3, and 1 microns.  A particle sizing analysis was obtained by KVB from Calspan
Corporation.  The sizing was performed by a Coulter Counter xi?hich optically
analyzes particles suspended in a liquid.  The result is a volume-based
diameter while the actual desired result should be based on aerodynamic
diameter.  Sizing was done for the 1, 3, and 10 micron cyclone particulate
collected.  Sizing of the filter collection was requested but no results were
obtained since the Coulter technique is valid only for particles over 1 micron.
        Figures G-l, G-2, and G-3 present the results for the 10, 3, and 1
micron cyclone respectively.  The 50% cut point for the 10 micron cyclone
(Fig. G-l) was 10.7 microns and 54% of the particulate was over 10 microns.
Since the basic design is based on a 50% collection at 10 microns, this is
an extremely accurate result.  Ninety percent of the particulate was between
3.7 and 23 microns.
        For the 3 micron cyclone, particles theoretically should be from
3 to 10 microns.  Results of Figure G-2 show 73% of the particulate -between
3 and 10 microns.  The 50% cut point was 6.7 microns and 90% of the particles
were between 2.8 and 17 microns.
        For the 1 micron cyclone, particles should theoretically be between
1 and 3 microns.  The results for the 1 micron cyclone are shown in.Figure
G-3.  The 50% cut point was 2.7 microns and 63% was between 1 and 3 mircons.
Ninety percent was between 1.3 and 5.7 microns.
        These results were obtained at a cost less than $100.  They appear to
substantiate the design sizing of the cyclones.  However, the design is based
on an aerodynamic diameter while the Coulter Counter provides a volume based
diameter independent of particulate density.

                                  ORGANICS

        Analysis of polycyclic organic matter (POM)  and polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCB)  in samples collected during the initial SASS train test on
the KVB boiler was performed.   The results are presented in Table G-6.
Total POM in the coal burned during the sampling time was 94 grains.  The
total ash content was 272 mg of total POM of which the majority, 264 mg,
was in the firetube ash and 3.5 mg in the baghouse ash.
        Total POM collected in the SASS train was 6.6 mg.  Of this, 83% or
5.5 mg was collected in the XAD-2 module wash and 15% or 1.0 mg was collected
in the XAD-2 resin.  The remainder was present in the 1 ym cyclone solids
(0.097 mg} and in the 3 ym cyclone solids  (0.018 mg).  Based on 30 m  of
stack gas collected by the train, the total POM emission was 220 yg/m  or,
on a heat input basis, 0.081 ng/J.  Total POM in samples from nozzle, probe,
cyclone, and filter washes, the filter itself, and from the irnpingers were
all below the detectable limit.  The potential total undetected amount is
1.1 mg of total POM.
        The gas chromatograms for POM did not show any distinct peaks that
could be attributed to any of the eight specific POM compounds required to
be identified.  Compound separation was substantial based on a review of
Calspan calibration runs.  However there are evidently so many compounds
present in the samples where total POM amount is high that identification
of specific POM by GC analysis alone is not adequate.  As a result of this
test, samples with high POM content were subjected on a selected basis to
analysis by GC/MS for compound identification.
        Calspan results for total PCB content of all samples were below the
limit of detectability in all samples.

16, ABSTRACT
         The report gives results of a field test program to evaluate the effect of
minor combustion modifications on pollutant emissions from a variety of industrial
combustion equipment types."Tested were 22 units , Including refinery process hea-
ters; clay and cement kilns; steel and aluminum furnaces; boilers burning black li-
quor, wood bark, and CO gas; internal combustion engines; and gas-turbine combinet
cycles. Process variables, fuel types, excess air reduction, burner adjustments,
and staged combustion were evaluated primarily for their effect on NOx emissions.
Emissions of NOx, SOx, CO, and HC were measured on all units.  Emissions of
particulate mass and size, trace species, and organics were measured on selected
units.  Baseline (as-found) NOx emissions from the test units varied  from 35 to 1320
ng/J (52 to 2250 ppm corrected to 3% O2, dry basis). With combustion modifications
NOx emissions from some units were reduced by up to 69%; however, for certain
kinds of equipment, NOx reductions were low or-insignificant. The main conclusion
was  that combustion modifications can be applied to many devices without process
disruption; however, process limitations on certain types of equipment restrict the
degree of NOx reduction that can be achieved.
