EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) require that use of Class I
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which deplete the ozone layer be phased out by 1996. Freon 113
(trichlorotrifluoroethane) is a Class I CFC that is required by present U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) wastewater and solid waste methods for measurement of the conventional pollutant "oil
and grease". This report provides the results of Phase I of EPA's study to replace Freon 113 in the
determination of oil and grease.
The objective of Phase I was to find a solvent or solvents that would produce results nearly
identical to the results produced by Freon 113 in the oil and grease measurement. Solvents evaluated
were n-hexane, n-hexane plus methyl tertiarybutyl ether (MTBE) in an 80/20 mixture, DuPont 123
(2,2-dichloro-l,l,l-trifluoroethane), methylene chloride, and perchloroethylene (tetrachloroethene).
Solvents were evaluated by comparing results from triplicate extraction of 40 wastewaters and 28
solid/sludge wastes, from 39 industrial facilities in 24 industrial categories, to the results produced by
extraction of these same samples with Freon 113.
In addition to testing the solvents listed above, sonication extraction, solid phase extraction
(SPE) using cartridges and disks, and a proprietary solvent/non-dispersive infrared technique were
tested on a subset of samples.
Alternative Solvents
Results were stratified according to extraction solvent and technique, and within this
stratification, into three categories: all samples, petroleum-based samples, and non-petroleum based
samples, depending on whether the oil and grease was of animal, vegetable, or mineral origin.
Data from solvent comparisons in the Phase I study are summarized in Exhibit 1 and show
that the results produced by n-hexane, perchloroethylene, and the 80/20 mixture of n-hexane and
MTBE are not statistically different from the results produced by Freon 113 (i.e., within the
Acceptance Limit) for some sample strata, whereas the results produced by methylene chloride and
DuPont 123 are not within this limit.
Based on these results and on the results of a preliminary study by EPA's Environmental
Monitoring Systems Laboratory in Cincinnati, Ohio (EMSL-Ci), EPA will retain or eliminate certain
solvents and techniques from further consideration as candidates for replacement of Freon 113 in the
oil and grease measurement, as follows:
1. n-hexane will be retained because the results for petroleum-based solid samples and non-
petroleum aqueous samples are within the Freon 113 Acceptance Limit and because n-
hexane was used in the oil and grease measurement prior to the advent of Freon 113.
2. Perchloroethylene will be retained because the results for non-petroleum aqueous samples
are within the Freon 113 Acceptance Limit and because perchloroethylene can be used in
the measurement of oil and grease by infra-red techniques.

3. n-hexane/MTBE (80/20) will be retained because the results for petroleum-based solid
samples are within the Freon 113 Acceptance Limit and because 80/20 is the solvent
developed by EMSL-Ci in the preliminary study.
4. Methylene chloride will be eliminated because the results produced are far from results
produced by Freon 113.
5. DuPont 123 will be eliminated because results produced using this solvent are not within
the Freon 113 Acceptance Limit for any category of solid or aqueous samples and because
DuPont 123 is a Class II CFC that will need to be phased out eventually.
Alternative Techniques
Of the alternative techniques evaluated in this study, only sonication extraction of non-
petroleum solid samples produced results equivalent to existing techniques with Freon 113. The use of
smaller solvent volumes required by solid phase extraction (SPE) and the increased sensitivity of the
non-dispersive infrared technique might warrant further study.

SECTION 1
BACKGROUND
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been shown to be primary contributors to the depletion of
the earth's stratospheric ozone layer. The United States, as a party to the Montreal Protocol on
Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and as required by law under the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), is committed to controlling and eventually phasing out CFCs. Under
both the Montreal Protocol and the CAAA, Class I CFCs will be phased out by January 1, 1996. To
be consistent with its commitment to control and phase out CFC use, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is investigating the use of alternative solvents in lieu of Freon 113, a CFC
that is mandated in EPA methods for the determination of "oil and grease".
Currently, three Agency methods are used for regulatory compliance monitoring
determinations of oil and grease content in environmental samples. They are Method 413.1,
promulgated at 40 CFR Part 136, and Methods 9070 and 9071A, promulgated at 40 CFR Parts 260-
270 (EPA Publication SW-846 by reference). Method 413.1 is used in Clean Water Act (CWA)
programs to determine total oil and grease content in surface and saline waters and in industrial and
domestic wastes. This gravimetric method involves acidification of the sample, serial extraction of the
oil and grease with Freon 113 in a separately funnel, evaporation of the solvent from the extract, and
weighing of the residue. Method 9070 is used in programs administered under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and is essentially the same as Method 413.1. RCRA Method
9071A is used to recover low levels of oil and grease from sludges, soils, other solid matrices, and
some industrial wastewaters. The method involves acidification or drying, Soxhlet extraction of oil
and grease with Freon 113, and weighing of the residue after evaporation of the solvent.
In all three methods described above, the result, termed "total recoverable oil and grease", is
a method-defined parameter. This means that the result depends totally on how the measurement is
made. Therefore, changes to the specific analytical protocols have the potential of changing the
numerical value of the results for a given sample.
Clean Water Act effluent guidelines for 25 major industries include limitations on the
discharge of oil and grease (40 CFR 407-471). Further, oil and grease is a regulated pollutant in over
10,000 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits and in many RCRA
operating permits. Civil penalties for violation of NPDES and RCRA permits can be severe. The
measurements on which these guidelines and permits are based were made with Freon 113 or, before
1978, with n-hexane as the solvent. The regulated community is concerned that a change in the
solvent used for oil and grease determinations could cause a change in the results and put their
facilities in violation of NPDES or RCRA permits. In response to this concern, EPA initiated efforts
to identify a replacement solvent or an alternative measurement technique that gives oil and grease
results as close as possible to those obtained with Freon 113.
The Agency's initial efforts to find a suitable replacement solvent for Freon 113 were
conducted by the Office of Research and Development's Environmental Monitoring Systems
Laboratory in Cincinnati, Ohio (EMSL-Ci). EMSL-Ci first used laboratory-prepared, synthetic
samples containing materials that represent "oil and grease" compounds covering extremely wide

boiling ranges, such as No. 2 fuel oil, No. 6 fuel oil, Prudhoe Bay crude oil, animal lard, and wheel-
bearing grease. Reagent water was spiked with these materials dissolved in an organic solvent to
simulate real-world samples. These samples were then extracted using several different solvents in
place of Freon 113, and the residues were determined gravimetrically.
Subsequent evaluations by EMSL-Ci used a limited number of actual industrial waste samples.
The results of EMSL-Ci's work were presented in A Study to Select a Suitable Replacement Solvent
for Freon 113 in the Gravimetric Determination of Oil and Grease, by F. K. Kawahara, October 2,
1991. This study resulted in the preparation of draft Method 413.3, a modification of 413.1 which
utilizes an 80/20 mixture of n-hexane and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) instead of Freon 113.
On July 3, 1991, the EPA Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) proposed (56 PR 30519) to
amend CWA and RCRA analytical methods for oil and grease to require the use of the 80/20 mixture
in lieu of Freon 113. This proposal was based on the findings of the EMSL-Ci studies. Based on
comments received on this proposal, OAR has delayed any solvent replacement to allow additional
time to study alternatives. In late 1991, the Office of Water (OW) and the Office of Solid Waste
(OSW) began planning a comparative study to collect data in support of OAR's efforts to replace
Freon 113 in Agency oil and grease methods. The remainder of this document provides a report on
the first phase of that study.

SECTION 2
PHASE I STUDY DESIGN
The first phase of the cooperative Office of Water (OW) and Office of Solid Waste (OSW)
effort involved evaluation of alternative solvents and measurement techniques. The original study
design is described fully in a study plan dated December 1991'. The final Phase I study design is
summarized below.
2.1 Study Objectives
The purpose of the first phase of the study was to continue EMSL-Ci's investigation of
replacement solvents to identify solvents or solvent/extraction systems that provide equivalent
performance to Freon 113. Specific objectives were to:
Evaluate alternative solvent and solvent/extraction system equivalency across a range of
real world effluent and solid waste samples from a variety of facility types
Evaluate a series of solvents posing a lower potential risk to stratospheric ozone
Provide clear direction for further study of one or two solvents or solvent/extraction
systems across an even broader range of effluent and solid waste samples that are
regulated under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA).
This effort was intended to be used as a screening study that would be followed by a Federal
Register notice of the availability of resulting data, development of revised analytical procedures, and
a confirmation study to support the recommended method revisions.
2.2 Sample Source Selection
The kinds of sample matrices included in this first phase of the study represented wastewaters
and solid wastes from a variety of industrial categories and facilities. A total of 18 facilities were
originally selected for sampling based on the following considerations:
industrial category
sample matrix (e.g., wastewater, sludge)

expected oil and grease concentration levels
geographic location
accessibility of waste streams
limited co-mingling of wastes
willingness of facilities to participate
cooperation and assistance of facility personnel.
As the study progressed, 21 additional sites were included to expand the number of industrial
categories and waste types, as budget constraints would allow. Considerations for selecting additional
sites involved extending the range of oil and grease concentrations being studied, focusing on
categories with existing oil and grease effluent limitations and on categories with petroleum-based
waste types, and including waste streams with known analytical interference problems.
The Office of Water coordinated all facility contacts and planning for the sample collection
efforts. Facilities volunteering to participate were selected primarily from EPA Regions I, II, and III
to minimize the costs of travel and equipment transportation.
Aqueous and solid/sludge waste samples were collected from a total of 39 industrial and
commercial facilities. These 39 facilities represent 24 industrial categories, 40 aqueous waste streams
and 28 solid/sludge waste sources. A site summary is presented in Appendix A, Exhibit A-l, and
shows the facility types, industrial categories, and waste streams included in the study. Appendix A,
Exhibit A-2, presents additional information about the wastewater sources; it identifies petroleum-
based streams and groups the samples into one of four treatment categories. Samples identified as
having no treatment include raw process wastewaters. Primary treatment includes simple detention for
oil/water separation or solids removal, or physical/chemical treatment designed for something other
than oil removal. Secondary oil/water separation includes systems such as dissolved air flotation,
dispersed gas flotation, and filtration intended for oil removal beyond simple detention. Biological
treatment includes activated sludge and aerated lagoon systems.
2.3 Analytical Study Design
Initially, the study focused on evaluation of six solvents, including Freon 113, using
conventional separatory funnel extraction for aqueous samples and Soxhlet and sonication extraction
for solid samples, all followed by gravimetric determination. Interest in EPA's study was widespread,
however, and shortly after initiating the first phase of the study EPA was approached by several
manufacturers of alternative extraction devices and measurement techniques. These manufacturers
agreed to analyze splits of the EPA samples by their techniques and to provide the results of their
analyses to EPA at no cost to the Agency. The approaches to evaluation of each of the measurement
techniques are presented below.

-------
Preliminary Report of EPA Efforts to Replace Freon for the Determination of Oil and Grease
Separator/ Funnel Extraction of Aqueous Samples
The performance of five alternative extraction solvents was compared with Freon 113 in
actual sample matrices. The five solvents were:
n-hexane and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) in an 80/20 mixture
«-hexane alone
DuPont 123 (2,2-dichloro-l,l,l-trifluoroethane)
methylene chloride (dichloromethane)
perchloroethylene (tetrachloroethene).
Wastewater samples were extracted with each of these solvents and Freon 113 using the
separatory funnel techniques described in Method 413.1.2 Since the densities of the solvents range
from lighter than water to heavier than water, the specifics of the extraction procedures in Method
413.1 were adjusted to explicitly deal with removal of each solvent from the separatory funnel and
appropriate treatment for emulsions that might form.3
Three aliquots of each sample were extracted with each solvent and were analyzed in a single
laboratory only. Although the initial plan was to have all samples analyzed in one laboratory to
eliminate a potential source of differences, three laboratories were ultimately required to meet
schedule, cost, and quality considerations. Having multiple laboratories was thought to be a negligible
source of variability because all comparisons between solvents were performed on a single sample
basis.
A total of 40 triplicate aqueous sample sets were collected and sent to contract laboratories for
analysis. Twenty-one triplicate sample sets were sent to Skinner and Sherman, Inc. in Waltham, MA,
13 triplicate sample sets were sent to ETS Analytical Services in Roanoke, VA and eight triplicate
sample sets were sent to the Geochemical and Environmental Research Group of Texas A&M
University.
Soxhfet and Sonication Extraction of Solid Samples
Sonication was tested as an alternative to the Soxhlet extraction required by Method 9071 A.
In addition, the performance of five alternative extraction solvents was compared with Freon 113 in
actual sample matrices. The five alternative solvents tested were the same as those tested in aqueous
samples using conventional separatory funnel techniques.
2Method 9070 is essentially the same as Method 413.1 and therefore was not formally evaluated.
3A total of five alternate versions of Method 413.1 were drafted for use by laboratories participating in this
study. Copies of these methods are available from the Sample Control Center, 300 North Lee Street, Alexandria,
Virginia 22314, (703) 557-5040.

-------
Preliminary Report of EPA Efforts to Replace Freon for the Determination of Oil and Grease
Solid samples were extracted with each of the five alternative solvents and Freon 113 using
the Soxhlet extraction techniques described in Method 9071 A. Splits of the solid samples were also
analyzed at the same laboratory using all six solvents and sonication procedures. The specifics of the
extraction procedures in Method 9071A were adjusted to explicitly deal with the use of alternative
solvents and the use of sonication extraction techniques.4
A total of 28 triplicate solid sample sets were collected and sent to contract laboratories for
analysis. Twelve triplicate sample sets were sent to Skinner and Sherman, Inc. in Waltham, MA, nine
triplicate sample sets were sent to ETS Analytical Services in Roanoke, VA and nine triplicate sample
sets were sent to the Geochemical and Environmental Research Group of Texas A&M University.
Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) of Aqueous Samples
The performance of solid phase extraction (SPE) techniques was evaluated by the EPA's
Central Regional Laboratory (CRL) in Annapolis, MD and by two manufacturers of SPE devices. The
SPE techniques tested on aqueous samples have the advantage of using significantly less solvent than
conventional separatory funnel extraction techniques.
EPA's CRL extracted aqueous samples with EnvirElute SPE columns (also known as SPE
cartridges) supplied by Varian Sample Preparation Products, using Freon 113 and all five solvents
listed above and gravimetric determination. Each of the samples sent to the EPA laboratory was
analyzed in triplicate. Due to the high solids content in most of the aqueous samples, the EPA CRL
was able to analyze only four of the eight sample sets they received.
Varian Sample Preparation Products extracted 20 aqueous samples with a newer version of the
SPE columns and a refined technique that allowed testing of samples containing higher concentrations
of suspended solids than the previous version tested by the EPA CRL. Varian tested Freon 113, n-
hexane, and the 80/20 hexane/MTBE mixture as solvents and determined the results gravimetrically.
Varian did not test methylene chloride or perchloroethylene as extraction solvents. Each of the
samples sent to Varian was analyzed in triplicate.
The 3M Corporation extracted 28 aqueous samples, using Empore SPE disks, with the
following five solvents: Freon 113, methylene chloride, n-hexane, 100% MTBE, and
perchloroethylene. The results were determined gravimetrically. The 3M Corporation did not test the
80/20 mixture of n-hexane and MTBE. Splits of each sample were analyzed using 47 mm SPE disks
and 90 mm SPE disks. Each of these sample splits was analyzed in triplicate. The 90 mm SPE disks
required the use of a full 1-liter sample volume, which is consistent with traditional oil and grease
measurement techniques and with all other techniques evaluated in this study except the 47 mm SPE
disks and the infrared technique described below. Both of these techniques utilized 250 Ml sample
volumes.
All samples extracted with SPE devices were splits of samples analyzed by separatory funnel
extraction.
4A total of eleven alternate versions of Method 9071A were drafted for use by laboratories participating in this
study. A separate version was prepared for Soxhlet extraction of each of the five alternative solvents. Separate
versions were also prepared for sonication extraction of each alternate solvent and Freon 113. Copies of these
methods are available from the Sample Control Center, 300 North Lee Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314, (703)
557-5040.

Non-Dispersive Infrared Analysis of Aqueous Samples
Horiba Instruments Inc. analyzed 36 aqueous samples by a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR)
analyzer technique using S-316 (a chlorofluorocarbon also known as Flon and specifically developed
for the Horiba analyzer) as a solvent. An advantage of this infrared technique is that it offers lower
levels of detection than those afforded by conventional separatory funnel extraction followed by
gravimetric determination. As with the SPE analyses, the Horiba results were compared statistically to
the results produced on splits of the same samples with separatory funnel and Freon 113 extraction.

SECTION 3
FIELD SAMPLING
Sample collection and handling efforts were carried out by Office of Water (OW) staff,
contractors, and facility staff. Activities included:
communications and coordination with representatives of selected sampling sites and
assigned laboratories
logistics planning
preparation of field equipment, sample containers, shipping containers, and documentation
collection, handling, and transport of samples
preparation of sample collection documentation
follow-up communications with receiving laboratories for sample tracking.
For safety purposes, arrangements were made in advance to have plant personnel accompany
and assist U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and contractor representatives while on site.
To minimize sampling costs where possible, EPA also asked some of the selected facilities to have
plant personnel collect samples. In those cases, EPA sent prepackaged sampling kits directly to the
sites with instructions for use and shipment to assigned laboratories.
Since the primary purpose of this data gathering effort was to investigate the use of alternative
oil and grease extraction solvents with real world samples, and not to characterize selected
wastewaters and solid wastes for regulation development, short-term grab sampling of the selected
sources was deemed sufficient to meet the requirements of the study.
Sampled material was mixed in a collection vessel, and transferred by siphoning or scooping
into 1-liter, wide-mouth, clear glass bottles with PTFE-lined caps. (Samples sent to 3M for extraction
with the 47 mm disks and to Horiba for infrared analysis were collected in 250 Ml bottles.) Aqueous
samples were preserved on-site with HC1 (1:1) to Ph less than two, and all aqueous and solid/sludge
samples were cooled to between 0° and 4°C during storage and shipment. Each sample bottle was
labeled with a unique EPA sample number and identifying information, including bottle number,
source location, collection date, and preservatives used. EPA sample numbers were the primary
method of identifying and tracking samples. These numbers were pre-assigned and recorded to ensure
proper control over samples. EPA traffic reports were completed for each site or sampling episode,
and accompanied each shipment to the appropriate laboratories. Copies of these reports were used by
EPA contractor and field personnel for tracking purposes.
Information regarding site-specific sampling activities was recorded in an on-site log for each
sample location, and included EPA sample numbers, collection date and time, description of sample
location, collection procedure, sample Ph and temperature, and preservatives used. Field personnel
double-checked all labels, traffic reports, and log entries to ensure accuracy and consistency.

SECTION 4
DATA VALIDATION AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
This section describes data validation and statistical analysis. Data validation was
straightforward, as described in subsection 4.1 below. Statistical analysis was complicated by the
non-uniform nature of the error distribution of the data. The ultimate measure of agreement between
alternative solvents or techniques and Freon 113 was the "normalized root mean square deviation"
(RMSD), as described in subsection 4.2 below. An indicator of the amount of oil and grease extracted
by a given solvent relative to the amount extracted by Freon 113 is the "solvent-to-Freon ratio" which
is also described in 4.2. When this ratio is averaged across samples, those with greater extraction of
oil and grease (i.e., ratios of more than one) will cancel those with lesser extraction of oil and grease
(i.e., ratios of less than one), yielding an average ratio close to one. Therefore, the average solvent-
to-Freon ratio cannot be relied upon as a measure of agreement between the alternative solvent and
Freon 113. The solvent-to-Freon ratio is presented before the RMSD in Section 4.2 because the data
are not log-transformed to construct the solvent-to-Freon ratio, but are log-transformed to construct
the RMSD.
4.1 Data Validation
All data from Phase I of the study were submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) by May 1993. The contract laboratories and other study participants submitted data in
computer-readable or hardcopy formats. The computer-readable result files were verified against the
hardcopy data, then loaded into the study database. Results were entered into the study database
manually if no computer-readable data were provided. Hardcopy data, including all calculations,
submitted by the three contract laboratories (for separately funnel extraction of aqueous samples and
Soxhlet and sonication extraction of solid samples), were verified from the bench sheets provided.
A number of samples containing low concentrations of oil and grease yielded negative results
or results below the nominal detection limit of Method 413.1 for aqueous samples (5 mg/L) or the
equivalent detection limit in solid samples (approximately 1,000 mg/kg). The negative numbers
resulted from either the subtraction of blanks (as required by the method) containing concentrations
larger than those in the associated samples or from measurement error in the tare weights of the
sample bottles (which weighed approximately 100 grams whereas the oil and grease residue was
measured in milligrams). Negative results were found almost exclusively in aqueous samples and were
primarily traceable to one of the contract laboratories performing the analyses. Treatment of negative
values and values below the method detection limit is discussed in Section 4.2.
4.2 Statistical Analysis
Preliminary statistical analyses of gravimetric results from the separatory funnel, Soxhlet, and
sonication techniques were presented at the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and
Applied Spectroscopy held in Atlanta, Georgia on March 10, 1993, and at the Oil and Grease

-------
Preliminary Report of EPA Efforts to Replace Freon for the Determination of Oil and Grease
Workshop held by the Office of Water (OW) in Norfolk, VA on May 4, 1993. This report includes a
revised statistical analysis of those results as well as a statistical analysis of the results generated using
solid phase extraction (SPE) and infrared measurement techniques. A table containing all results for
the study in unreduced form is provided in Appendix B.
Data Stratification
Initial statistical analyses of all samples within each extraction technique yielded no solvents
that were within the respective RMSD Acceptance Limits. Further stratification of the study database
was undertaken to determine whether results equivalent to Freon 113 could be achieved by testing
subclasses of the data. Stratification by industry type was attempted, but resulted in too many small
data sets. Because it was expected that oil and grease of biological (animal or vegetable) origin might
behave differently than oil and grease of mineral origin (petroleum), the data were stratified into
"petroleum" and "non-petroleum" samples. (If necessary, personnel from the sampled facilities were
questioned as to the origin of oil and grease in their effluents or wastes). For example, the effluent
from a meat packing plant was categorized as non-petroleum, whereas the effluent from a refinery
was categorized as petroleum.
Solvent-to-Freon 113 Ratio
A solvent-to-Freon 113 ratio (solvent-Freon ratio) was computed to allow comparison of the
average amount of oil and grease extracted by various solvents and measurement techniques with the
amount extracted by the approved techniques using Freon 113.
The solvent-Freon ratio for each sample was formed by dividing the mean of the triplicate
results produced with the alternative solvent or technique by the mean of the triplicate result produced
with the approved technique using Freon 113. The mean, standard deviation (SD), relative standard
deviation (RSD), and the median of the solvent-Freon ratios were calculated across all samples in
each of the eight data sets representing an alternative solvent or technique (Exhibits 3 through 10).
These results are discussed in Section 5.
Because averaging gives no indication of the variability of the data, the solvent-Freon ratio is
a less powerful measure of the agreement between an alternative solvent (or technique) and Freon 113
than the normalized RMSD described below. This normalized RMSD was used as the main criterion
of similarity. Median, mean, and standard deviation values of the solvent-Freon ratio were used as an
aid in describing the distribution of the data.
Logarithmic Data Transformation
The triplicate analysis of each sample allows the error associated with each measurement to be
modeled as a function of concentration. Analytical data normally have a proportional error structure
over the calibration range of the measuring technique (i.e., as the parameter being measured
increases, the standard deviation will increase in proportion to the measurement). This proportional
error structure normally results in a constant relative standard deviation (RSD; coefficient of
variation.)

Preliminary Report of EPA Efforts to Replace Freon for the Determination of Oil and Grease
To determine the nature of the error in this study, the RSD was plotted as a function of
concentration. Exhibit 2 shows this plot for aqueous samples. Similar results occurred with
solid/sludge samples. As can be seen from Exhibit 2, the plot has a proportional error structure above
a concentration of approximately 35 mg/L. Below 35 mg/L, however, the RSD rises rapidly and
asymptotically approaches a very large value at the detection limit of the method (5 mg/L).
The data were examined by ANOVA statistical techniques. The heteroscedasticity (non-
uniform standard deviations) of these data, however, violates the statistical requirements for use of
ANOVA techniques. The heteroscedasticity was overcome by modeling standard deviation as a
function of concentration, as discussed in Appendix C, and then subjecting the data to an appropriate
variance-stabilizing transformation according to the equation:
z = log (x + c) - log c
where
x is the concentration (in mg/L or mg/kg), and
c is a constant.
The constant (c) was used to prevent samples at low concentrations from having exaggerated
influence and to allow negative values to be transformed to a logarithmic scale. The constant (c) was
set to 100 mg/L for aqueous samples and 10,000 mg/kg for solid samples. The transformed data (z)
were then subjected to ANOVA.
To assure that the results below the detection limit were not unduly influencing the
comparison between solvents, the data were treated in three ways before transformation: (1) the
results were tested "as is" (i.e., without alteration), (2) all results below the nominal detection limit
were set to the detection limit, and (3) results were eliminated if they were below the nominal
detection limit using the currently approved extraction technique (e.g., separatory funnel extraction
with Freon 113 or Soxhlet extraction with Freon 113). After transforming the data using the equation
cited above, all three treatments yielded nearly identical results: the solvents that produced results
closest to Freon 113 were not changed by the three data treatments. This conclusion substantiates the
belief that the transformation diminishes the effect of the results below and near the nominal detection
limit. After reaching this conclusion, all data were treated with the second option for the remainder of
the study. This is consistent with the EPA Engineering and Analysis Division's standard reporting of
results that are below method detection limits.
Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD)
As was noted above, the primary measure of similarity used to compare Freon 113 with each
of the other solvents and techniques was the RMSD of the alternative results for each sample around
the Freon 113 results. For each technique, the RMSD represented the standard deviation of the
differences between the alternative solvent-determined concentrations for each sample and the Freon
113-determined concentrations using the appropriate approved technique. A smaller RMSD indicated
better agreement with Freon 113.

Preliminary Report of EPA Efforts to Replace Freon for the Determination of Oil and Grease
In performing the statistical analyses, the data were transformed using the equation above, and
the triplicate concentration results for each sample and solvent or technique were averaged. The
RMSD for each alternative procedure was calculated by taking the difference of the Freon 113
averages from those of the alternative procedure, squaring the differences, averaging these across all
samples, and then taking the square root of those averages. (The details of this calculation are
presented in Appendix C.)
The RMSD values were normalized by dividing each RMSD by the square root of the
expected mean squared deviation based on the replicate variability (see Appendix C for details). To
determine the significance of the RMSD results (where sufficient data existed), a 95 percent
Acceptance Limit was calculated from each of the eight data sets (aqueous, Soxhlet, Sonication,
Horiba, EPA CRL SPE, Varian SPE, 3M 47 mm SPE, and 3M 90 mm SPE) for the three sample
strata: (1) all samples, (2) petroleum-based samples, and (3) non-petroleum based samples. In other
words, the Acceptance Limit is the 95th percentile of the normalized RMSD that would be observed
if the two methods under comparison were exactly equivalent, (i.e., if Freon 113 were compared to
itself). Solvents or techniques with RMSDs smaller than the associated Acceptance Limit are not
statistically different from Freon 113 extraction with the approved technique. Normalized RMSD
results and Acceptance Limits for each of the alternative solvent and measurement techniques
evaluated are presented in Exhibits 3 through 10.
The RMSD measures variations both above and within the amount of oil and grease extracted
by Freon 113. This is important because the alternative solvent might extract less or more oil and
grease than Freon 113, depending on the sample. Having the same average results across many
samples is a desirable but by no means sufficient test of equivalence of the extraction performance of
the alternative solvent. Average results for a solvent might be close to those obtained with Freon 113,
but the results for a particular sample may be quite disparate. The RMSD is smallest, and is therefore
most likely to be within the Acceptance Limit when the results for a solvent are both accurate and
precise when compared to results obtained with Freon 113.

SECTION 5
DISCUSSION
The statistical results presented in Exhibits 3 through 10 are discussed in Sections 5.1 through
5.4 below. As explained in Section 4, the root mean square deviation (RMSD) was used as the main
criterion of equivalence between the results obtained with established techniques (Freon 113 with
separatory funnel or Soxhlet extraction) and all other solvents and techniques. Other descriptive
statistics (median, mean, standard deviation [SD], and relative standard deviation [RSD] of solvent-
Freon ratios) are provided in this report only to demonstrate the distribution of the data.
In these tests, some solvents and techniques extracted more oil and grease than Freon 113.
Although achieving higher results than the Freon 113 methods might be seen as a method
"improvement", such enhanced recovery of an operationally-defined parameter presents significant
problems for the implementation of the "improved" method under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES), as thousands of NPDES permits contain oil and grease limits based on
the present methods. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find a solvent or technique that
yields oil and grease results equivalent to rather than better than those obtained with Freon 113.
Exhibits 3 through 10 are arrayed to provide a comparison of each alternative solvent or
technique tested, for the entire group of samples analyzed, for petroleum-based samples, and for non-
petroleum samples. Solvents or techniques that have a normalized RMSD within the Acceptance Limit
shown for the established method (separatory funnel or Soxhlet extraction with Freon) yield results
that are not statistically different from Freon 113.
5.1 Separatory Funnel Extraction of Aqueous Samples
Results of the statistical analysis of data for separatory funnel extraction and gravimetric
determination of oil and grease in aqueous samples are presented in Exhibit 3. The results are based
on analysis of 25 petroleum-based samples and 13 non-petroleum samples for a total of 38 aqueous
samples. (Not all of the 40 aqueous samples taken were successfully analyzed.)
Exhibit 3 shows that when all samples were examined as a group, none of the solvents tested
yielded results within the Acceptance Limit. When non-petroleum and petroleum samples were
examined separately, however, n-hexane and perchloroethylene were both within the Acceptance
Limit in the non-petroleum group.
Mean solvent-Freon ratios for the separatory funnel extractions ranged from 1.02 (for
petroleum-based samples extracted with n-hexane) to 2.61 (for non-petroleum extracted with DuPont
123). Relative standard deviations of the solvent-Freon ratios ranged from 51% (for petroleum-based
samples extracted with methylene chloride) to 230% (for non-petroleum samples extracted with
DuPont 123). Median solvent-Freon ratios were in the range of 0.81 to 1.38.

The data in Exhibit 3 suggest that although some alternative solvents were capable of
producing average and/or median results similar to Freon 113 in each category of samples analyzed,
the variability of these data was extremely high. As a result, and based on the RMSD, the only
alternative solvents that yielded results equivalent to Freon 113 were n-hexane and perchloroethylene,
and the equivalency of these solvents was demonstrated for non-petroleum samples only.
5.2 Soxhlet and Sonication Extraction of Solid Samples
Results of the statistical analysis of data for 28 solid samples are presented in Exhibits 4 and
5. Exhibit 4 presents the results of data generated using the established Soxhlet extraction and
gravimetric determination with six solvents; Exhibit 5 presents the results generated using the
alternative sonication and gravimetric determination with the same six solvents.
Exhibit 4 indicates that relatively good agreement between median solvent-Freon ratios was
obtained using alternative solvents and Soxhlet extraction of solid samples. Means of solvent-Freon
ratios ranged from 0.99 to 2.14, and RSDs ranged from 22% to 160%. The results in Exhibit 4
further indicated that none of the alternative solvents was within the Acceptance Limit when all
samples were evaluated together. Similarly, none of the solvents was within the Acceptance Limit
when only non-petroleum samples were examined. Two of the solvents, however, were within the
Acceptance Limit when only petroleum-based samples were evaluated (w-hexane and 80/20.)
In Exhibit 5, all six solvents (including Freon 113) used with sonication extraction of solid
samples were compared to Freon 113 using Soxhlet extraction. This comparison was made because
the purpose of the study was to compare the performance of alternative solvents and techniques with
currently approved solvents and techniques. As noted earlier, the Agency method for determination of
oil and grease in solids (Method 9071A) specifies the Soxhlet extraction using Freon 113 as a solvent.
Exhibit 5 shows poor agreement between the mean and median results obtained with Freon
113 using the Soxhlet extraction and with all solvents using sonication. Further, variability (standard
deviation and relative standard deviation) of these data was high. (Exhibit 5 shows mean solvent-
Freon ratios that range from 0.49 to 3.69, with RSDs of 37% to 370% and median solvent-Freon
ratios from .43 to .81.) Aside from methylene chloride, all solvents tested with sonication yielded
mean and median solvent-Freon ratios within those obtained using Soxhlet extraction with Freon 113.
As a result of the high variability between the sonication data and the Soxhlet data with Freon 113,
only one RMSD value was observed within the Acceptance Limit in Exhibit 5. That value was for
perchloroethylene when only non-petroleum samples were examined.
5.3 Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) of Aqueous Samples
Exhibits 6 through 9 present the results of the statistical analysis of data generated from
aqueous samples using solid phase extraction (SPE) and gravimetric determination. The format of
these tables is the same as that of Exhibits 3 through 5. As with the results of sonication extraction of
solid samples, all results generated using SPE techniques were compared to the performance of
approved test methods (in this case, Freon 113 using separatory funnel techniques). Results of
alternative techniques were not compared with each other, nor were they compared to the
performance of Freon 113 with the alternative technique.

Preliminary Report of EPA Efforts to Replace Freon for the Determination of Oil and Grease
Exhibit 6 summarizes the statistical calculations of data generated by 3M using 90 mm SPE
disks. Exhibit 7 presents the results generated by 3M using 47 mm SPE disks. Nineteen of the 25
aqueous/petroleum and nine of the 13 aqueous non-petroleum samples in the study were tested using
each type of disk.
Mean solvent-Freon ratios in Exhibits 6 and 7 for the SPE data using alternative solvents were
all above 1.0 (they ranged from 1.09 to 2.78 for 90 mm disks and from 1.19 to 3.5 for 47 mm
disks). The ratios between Freon 113 with SPE and Freon 113 with separatory funnel extraction were
.94 and 1.11 for the 90 mm and the 47 mm disks, respectively. Variability with the SPE disks was
generally high, with RSDs ranging from 57 to 110% for the 90 mm disks and from 60 to 130% for
the 47 mm disks. Median solvent-Freon ratios using the 90 mm disks ranged from 0.94 to 1.83. The
highest mean results were obtained with methylene chloride and 100% MTBE. Median solvent-Freon
ratios for alternative solvents using the 47 mm disks were higher than for the 90 mm SPE disks,
ranging from 1.26 to 3.65.
The RMSD values in Exhibits 6 and 7 further show that the use of separatory funnel
extraction with Freon 113 and the use of either 47 mm or 90 mm disks with alternative solvents do
not produce equivalent results. The only RMSD value in these tables within the Acceptance Limit is
for Freon 113 using the 90 mm disks when non-petroleum samples were examined alone.
Exhibit 8 presents the results obtained by the EPA Central Regional Laboratory (CRL) using
an early version of the Varian SPE column. Due to technical difficulties (primarily clogging of the
columns due to high percent solids in the samples) results for only two petroleum and two non-
petroleum samples were obtained. Mean and median solvent-Freon ratios were less than 1.0, and
RSDs were lower than for other techniques tested. Normalized RMSD results indicate that all solvents
tested were equivalent to separatory funnel extraction with Freon 113. A review of the individual
results for the samples tested, however, shows that oil and grease concentrations in three of four
samples is near or below the detection limit.
The setting of results below the detection limit to 5 mg/L was considered as a possible reason
why the CRL SPE data showed all solvents to be equivalent to Freon 113. Tests with the three data
treatments described in the section on "Logarithmic Data Transformation" in section 4.2, however,
yielded equivalent results, indicating that this was not the sole reason. Because these concentrations
are low, the addition of the constant in the log-transformation reduces the effect of the differences
between solvents. In addition, the results are fairly precise, with RSDs ranging from 19 to 55 percent.
This combination of low concentrations and precise data makes the RMSDs small and consistent, so
that differences between solvents are not discernable. Although it would be possible to reduce or
eliminate the constant from the equation for transforming the CRL SPE data, the net result would be
that the conclusions would be based on a single sample.
Given all of the above, the final conclusion concerning the CRL SPE data is that there are
insufficient data to provide a rigorous comparison between solvents.
Exhibit 9 summarizes Varian's data for fifteen of the 25 petroleum samples and five of the 13
non-petroleum samples tested using a later version of the their SPE column. As noted earlier, only
Freon 113 and two alternative solvents (n-hexane and the 80/20 mixture) were evaluated by Varian.
Mean solvent-Freon ratios ranged from 0.93 to 1.13, and the median ratios ranged from 0.93 to 1.19.
Variability, as represented by the RSD of the solvent-Freon ratio, was relatively low (21% to 49%.)
Neither n-hexane nor the 80/20 mixture yielded RMSDs within the Acceptance Limit for all samples
June 1993 21

Preliminary Report of EPA Efforts to Replace Freon for the Determination of Oil and Grease
taken together, or for the petroleum subset. Both n-hexane and the 80/20 mixture had RMSDs within
the Acceptance Limit in the non-petroleum category. This result must be viewed with caution due to
the small number of samples involved (n = 5).
5.4 Non-Dispersive Infrared Analysis of Aqueous Samples
The statistical results obtained with data generated by Horiba Instruments using an infrared
analyzer are presented in Exhibit 10. These results represent 23 of the 25 petroleum-based aqueous
samples and all 13 of the non-petroleum aqueous samples in Phase I of the study. The mean solvent-
Freon ratio found using the Horiba method was 1.2 to 2.3 times the result for separatory funnel
extraction using Freon 113. Variability was high (58 to 98% RSD.) The normalized RMSDs for the
Horiba results were much higher than the Acceptance Limits in all three categories analyzed,
indicating that results were not equivalent to Freon 113.
5.5 Graphical Presentation of RMSD Versus Acceptance Limit Results
To give the reader a better understanding of the relative performance of all of the alternative
solvents and techniques evaluated, the RMSD and Acceptance Limit data are presented graphically in
Exhibit 1, which was presented in the Executive Summary of this report, and in greater detail in
Exhibits 11 through 15.
In Exhibits 11 through 15, the RMSD for a particular solvent or technique is represented by a
solid or hollow circle, and Acceptance Limits are indicated by horizontal lines. Where these RMSD
circles fall within the relevant Acceptance Limit line, that solvent or technique is equivalent to
separatory runnel or Soxhlet extraction with Freon 113, as appropriate. Where no solvents or
techniques yield results equivalent to Freon 113, no circles are shown within the Acceptance Limit
line.
5.6 Graphical Presentation of the Solvent-Freon Ratios
Exhibit 16 summarizes all of the solvent-Freon ratios on one graph. In this graph, the mean
solvent-Freon ratio (computed prior to log-transformation of the data) is plotted on a logarithmic scale
so that amounts of oil and grease greater or less than the amount extracted by Freon 113 are
equidistant from 1.00.
This graph shows that the solvent-Freon ratio can range from approximately 0.3 to 2.6,
depending on the solvent, technique, and kind of sample being extracted. Of interest in this graph is
the influence of the solvent or technique on the average amount of material extracted. For example,
Soxhlet extraction with the alternative solvents seems to extract somewhat more oil and grease than
the reference Soxhlet extraction with Freon 113, whereas less oil and grease is extracted with
sonication rather than with Soxhlet using Freon 113 unless methylene chloride is used in the
sonication extraction. It must be remembered that these ratios represent the overage amount of
material extracted, whereas the RMSD represents the deviation from the amount extracted by Freon
113 on an individual sample basis. Therefore, although these averages are interesting, they cannot be
relied upon as the final criterion for equivalence.
22 June 1993
-------
Preliminary Report of EPA Efforts to Replace Freon for the Determination of Oil and Grease
The use of Freon 113 as the extracting solvent in these alternative techniques allowed the
variables of the solvent and the technique to be separated. The amount of oil and grease extracted by
Freon 113 using cartridges and 90 mm disks was, on average, less than the amount extracted using
the reference separatory funnel method whereas the average amount of material extracted by the 47
mm disks was greater. For the cartridges and the 90 mm disk, this lesser average amount extracted by
Freon 113 was compensated when an alternative solvent such as MTBE, 80/20, or perchloroethylene
was used. (Due to large standard deviations in the results, however, the average amount extracted
may not be statistically significant.)
The variables of solvent versus technique cannot be separated for Flon-316 and NDIR because
Freon 113 was not tested with the NDIR technique. Therefore it is not known whether the larger
amount of oil and grease indicated by the Flon/NDIR technique results from the use of Flon-316 or
results from the way in which the NDIR was calibrated.

SECTION 6
PHASE I STUDY CONCLUSIONS
The purpose of Phase I of this study was to find an alternative solvent or
extraction/measurement technique that yields results equivalent to the results produced using Freon
113 and gravimetry. No solvent or technique produced results exactly equivalent to Freon 113, but as
shown in Exhibits 1 through 16, some solvents can be considered to be equivalent to Freon 113 for
some sample matrices. This section summarizes some of the conclusions that can be drawn from
results to date.
6.1 Alternative Solvents for Existing Methods 413.1, 9070 and 9071A
Methods 413.1, 9070 and 9071A are the three EPA oil and grease methods currently used for
regulatory compliance monitoring in the NPDES and RCRA programs.
Among the five solvents tested as possible replacements for Freon 113 in Methods 413.1,
9070 and 9071 A, /z-hexane had the greatest number of results equivalent to Freon 113. Hexane had
two acceptable RMSDs out of a possible four (separately funnel extraction of non-petroleum aqueous
samples and Soxhlet extraction of petroleum-based solid samples). Perchloroethylene had one
acceptable RMSD (separatory funnel extraction of non-petroleum aqueous samples) as did the 80/20
mixture (Soxhlet extraction of petroleum-based solid samples). Methylene chloride and DuPont 123
had no acceptable RMSDs for the separatory funnel or Soxhlet extraction. Based on the current
extraction techniques for aqueous and solid samples (separatory funnel extraction and Soxhlet
extraction, respectively), n-hexane is the most promising candidate replacement solvent for Freon
113. Exhibit 17 below summarizes these conclusions.

6.2 Sonication as an Alternative Technique to Soxhlet Extraction
For sonication as an alternative extraction technique, perchloroethylene was equivalent to
Soxhlet extraction with Freon 113 for petroleum samples. Therefore, perchloroethylene is a leading
candidate replacement solvent if sonication is considered on an equal footing with the currently-used
Soxhlet extraction technique. Perchloroethylene and n-hexane would both have two acceptable
RMSDs out of a possible six.
6.3 Alternative Techniques for Aqueous Samples
None of the alternative techniques for aqueous samples yielded results with RMSDs within the
Acceptance Limits when an adequate number of samples was tested. Some of the results using the
Varian SPE columns, particularly the newer version, are promising. It remains to be seen, however,
whether solid phase extraction (SPE) is applicable to samples with high dissolved solids. Without
further work, none of the alternative techniques for aqueous samples can be recommended as a
replacement for methods 413.1 and 9070 at this time.
6.4 Retention and Elimination of Solvents for Further Study
Based on these results and the results of the earlier study by EMSL-Ci, the following solvents
will be retained or eliminated from further consideration as candidates for replacement of Freon 113
in oil and grease measurement as follows:
1. n-hexane will be retained because the results for petroleum-based solid samples and non-
petroleum aqueous samples are within the Freon 113 Acceptance Limit and because n-
hexane was used in the oil and grease measurement prior to the advent of Freon 113.
2. Perchloroethylene will be retained because the results for non-petroleum aqueous samples
are within the Freon 113 Acceptance Limit and because perchloroethylene can be used in
the measurement of oil and grease by infra-red techniques.
3. n-hexane/MTBE (80/20) will be retained because it is the solvent developed by EMSL-Ci
in the preliminary study and because the results produced are within the Freon 113
Acceptance Limit for petroleum-based solid samples.
4. Methylene chloride will be eliminated because the results produced are far from results
produced by Freon 113.
5. DuPont 123 will be eliminated because results produced using this solvent are not within
the Freon 113 Acceptance Limit for any category of solid or aqueous samples and because
DuPont 123 is a Class II CFC that will need to be phased out eventually.

6.5 Retention of Alternative Techniques for Further Study
Of the alternative techniques evaluated in this study, only sonication extraction of non-
petroleum solid samples produced results equivalent to existing techniques with Freon 113. The use of
smaller solvent volumes required by solid phase extraction (SPE) and the increased sensitivity of the
non-dispersive infrared technique might warrant further study.

SECTION 7
FOLLOW-UP AND POSSIBLE PHASE II ACTIVITIES
A presentation of preliminary results was made at the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical
Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy in Atlanta, Georgia on March 4, 1993, and a U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) workshop was held on May 4, 1993 in Norfolk, Virginia for
all interested parties to discuss the preliminary results of Phase I and possible options for Phase II. A
second workshop is scheduled to be held in Boston, Massachusetts on June 30, 19935.
A notice of the availability of the results of the first phase of the study will be published in
the Federal Register, with a request for public comment. This report, with subsequent revisions, if
any, will be mailed to those responding to the notice. The notice may also include a study plan for the
second phase of the study and a request for regulated industries to produce data using the one or two
most promising alternative solvents.
If EPA proceeds with a second study phase, it will likely be designed to assess the precision,
accuracy, and comparability of the one or two most promising alternative solvent/extraction systems
and measurement techniques from the Phase I study results. The range of industrial effluents might
also be expanded in the second phase, in part through cooperative efforts sponsored by various
regulated industries. Alternatively, the second phase of the study may involve side-by-side testing of
an alternative solvent versus Freon 113, so that each permittee can develop its own correction factor
(see below) pending renewal of their NPDES or RCRA permit.
Options for Replacement of Freon 113 in the Oil & Grease Method
The Phase I results have shown that no solvent produces results identical to the results
produced by Freon 113, but that n-hexane, perchloroethylene, and the 80/20 mixture of Az-hexane and
MTBE produce results equivalent to Freon 113 for some samples. These results suggest that if an
immediate decision to replace Freon 113 needs to be made, one or more of these solvents should be
selected, and that any Phase II effort should concentrate on these solvents. The reduction in solvent
use afforded by solid phase extraction and the lowered detection limit attained with non-dispersive
infrared determination, however, provide compelling reasons for further study of these techniques.
EPA therefore desires to be as comprehensive as possible in exploring options for any possible Phase
II study, but needs to narrow the focus of these options once they have been explored.
The range of options under consideration at this time is given below.
File for an exemption under the Clean Air Act Amendments for the use of Freon 113 in
the oil and grease method.
Use recycled Freon. Laboratories would reuse Freon 113 recovered from earlier testing.
'Conference arrangements for the Oil and Grease Workshop are being coordinated by DynCorp Viar, Inc. For additional information, please
contact Christopher Berry at (703)519-1387.

Choose one new solvent.
Choose more than one new solvent, if different solvents are found to work best on
different kinds of samples.
Use the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) method for petroleum-contaminated
samples.
Switch from gravimetric to infrared spectroscopy-based methods.
Use solid phase extraction (SPE) rather than solvent extraction.
Develop a correction factor or factors to be applied to data generated by solvents other
than Freon 113.
EPA solicits comments on these options and seeks any other options for resolution of this
issue. As comments and other information become available, the Agency will continue to attempt to
keep all interested parties informed. Because Freon 113 will not be commercially available after
January 1, 1996, and because it is desirable to phase out the use of all Class I CFCs as expeditiously
as possible, the first two options listed above may not be viable.

DISCUSSION OF STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES
USED IN THE PRELIMINARY DATA EVALUATION
-------
-------
Preliminary Report of EPA Efforts to Replace Freon for the Determination of Oil and Grease
Data Transformations
The standard deviations of the measured sample concentrations varied greatly and were
roughly proportional to the mean sample concentrations, as is common with analytical data. This
heteroscedasticity violates the basic ANOVA assumptions, and was taken into account in the statistical
analysis.
The association between the standard deviations of sample concentrations and the mean
sample concentrations was easily demonstrated in this data set by plotting the replicate standard
deviations versus the mean of the replicate analyses for each sample/solvent combination, as is shown
in Attachment A. Linear regressions of the standard deviation of concentration versus the mean
concentration showed a very significant trend. Secondary predictors of the standard error including
solvent, industrial category, sampling point, sample kingdom, and laboratory, were checked by
including them as predictors along with the mean concentration. The only other factor that showed a
relationship with standard error is laboratory (which is described in greater detail below.)
In order to allow the use of standard statistical tools, the concentration data were transformed
so that the data would have constant standard deviations. If the standard deviations were exactly
proportional to concentration, i.e., if there were no intercept in the regressions, then a logarithmic
transformation would have produced constant standard deviations [1]. Since there was a positive
intercept in each of the standard deviation regressions, the data were transformed using the equation:
z=log(x+c)-log(c),
where c serves the dual purpose of adjusting for the non-zero intercept of the standard deviation curve
and allowing for a well-defined transformation that is robust to the negative concentration estimates
found in this data. Examination of the data suggested a value of c= 100 for the aqueous analyses and
c= 10,000 for both types of solid sample extractions. These values are on the same order of
magnitude as the negative of the x-intercept(= -intercept/slope) of each regression, and they are of
sufficient magnitude to keep even the most negative reported concentrations (-56 for aqueous, -1931
for sonication, -7556 for Soxhlet) a reasonable distance away from the pole at 0 in the log
transformation. This distance prevents these points from gaining disproportionate leverage due to
being transformed far out to the left of the data. Following this transformation, the data no longer
showed a significant association between standard deviation and mean concentration. Therefore, the
transformation was suitable to the ANOVA analysis described below.
The results on the transformed variable were translated back to statements about concentration
by inverting the transformation, such that
x=exp(z+log(c))-c
June 1993 C-3
-------

Results could then be expressed as approximate proportionate results, in concentration terms, if the
inverse calculations were applied at a representative level of concentration, such as the mean of the
transformed variable. For example, a limit value z, and a mean z0 could be presented as a
proportionate limit in concentration terms by calculating
exp(z, +log(c)) -exp(z0+log(c))
The analyses described in the remainder of this discussion should not be highly sensitive to the
particular values of c used, within the constraints described above. A sensitivity check could be done
to demonstrate this by testing alternative values of c.
Negative Concentrations
While it is counterintuitive to find negative measured concentrations, it can be expected to
occur, at least occasionally, due to analytical variability whenever very small concentrations are
measured via methods involving blank-subtraction. It is possible that some sample/solvent
combinations could be removed from this study by setting up statistical limits on whether the sample
can statistically be shown to contain a non-zero amount of oil and grease, for instance simply
computing a one-sided hypothesis (at say 5%) that the mean concentration for a sample/solvent
combination is greater than zero using the three replicate measurements (either with or without the
data transformation). However, it is desirable that the study remain balanced across solvents, and
since some solvents show concentrations clearly greater than zero while other solvents do not, such a
rule may not be useful. Since the data transformation method described above can cope with negative
measured concentrations, such samples were left in the study for the moment.
ANOVAs
The ANOVA model deemed best for this analysis was
y=a+bi+gj+du+euk
where i=l...I solvents (l=Freon), j = 1...J samples, and k=l...K (3) replicate analyses. Here a,
bi; gj, and dy are all fixed effects that were estimated6, and eijk is the random measurement error, with
mean 0 and variance a1. This model is a standard ANOVA model, and was fitted to obtain estimates
of each of these parameters and standard errors associated with each estimate.
Upon testing this model (see Attachment B), it was clear that the interaction term is
significant, (i.e., the effect of solvents depends on the sample matrix).

Evaluation of Solvents
The evaluation of individual sample-by-sample confidence limits on the difference between
each alternative solvent and Freon would have resulted in too many outcomes to consider and would
not have produced an overall picture of the performance of each alternative solvent. Instead, an
overall index of performance that summarizes the similarity of each alternative solvent to Freon,
while taking into account the differences in the outcomes for each solvent on different samples was
considered desirable. A natural measure for this is the root mean square deviation across samples
between the alternative solvent and the Freon results. In terms of the model above, the mean result
for each solvent for a sample is,7
so the root mean square deviation for solvent i is
This can also be computed as the root mean square deviation between the sample*solvent cell
means for the alternative solvent and Freon. The smaller this measure, the more closely the results
using the alternative solvent approximate the results using Freon. RMSD computes the squared
deviation of the average analytical results using alternative solvents on a sample from that of Freon on
the same sample, and accumulates these over all samples to provide an overall measure of agreement.
The data show significant interaction between solvent and sample in the statistical model, that is,
whether alternative solvents extract more or less oil and grease than Freon varies according to the
sample matrix. RMSD measures variations both above and below the Freon results, because we must
capture in our statistic the possibility that an alternative solvent extracts significantly less oil and
grease than Freon on some samples, and more on other samples. Having the same average results as
Freon across multiple samples is a desirable, but by no means sufficient, test of equivalence of the
solvents. As a rule of thumb, the RMSD that would be expected by chance alone, for instance if
Freon were tested in this protocol and compared with itself using separate analyses, can be computed.
Under the null hypothesis that there is no actual difference in the procedures, the square of RMSD,
appropriately normalized by the residual error estimate, will have an F distribution. Therefore,
7 For typographical simplicity, the carats over each parameter are omitted from this point on even though
the formulae refer to the sample estimates rather than the theoretical model values.

RMSD<
\ /L
or, in terms of the normalized RMSD,
RMSD^f^i
Examples of these analyses are shown in Attachment C.
Laboratory Comparisons
To test the sensitivity of the rankings to the effect of each laboratory, the above rankings were
rerun, dropping out each laboratory in turn. These tests yielded no significant changes in the
comparability of the solvents to Freon.
Laboratory differences in the analytical standard deviation were also explored. This was done
by an ANOVA of the within-sample*solvent standard deviation of the non-transformed concentration
versus laboratory. One laboratory showed significantly greater RSDs than the other two on soxhlet
and sonication extractions of solid samples. All labs had statistically similar RSDs on separatory
funnel extraction of aqueous samples.
Analysis by Type of Sample
Rankings were also run over subsets of the samples, including divisions by industrial source,
sampling point, kingdom, etc. to look for situations where the ranking changes or where all solvents
are markedly different from Freon. The results of these rankings as divided by industrial source
(petroleum vs. non-petroleum) are discussed in the report of preliminary findings.

Alternative solvents which rank well overall could be examined for their deviation on
individual samples in order to spot sample types showing larger deviations, which may indicate areas
for method improvement. Since none of the alternative solvents ranked well overall in the
preliminary analyses, no such examination of individual sample deviation was performed.

The following text supersedes that of Section 5.6 found on pages 22-23.
Exhibit 16 summarizes all of the solvent-Freon ratios on one graph. In this graph, the mean
solvent-Freon ratio (computed prior to log-transformation of the data) is plotted on a logarithmic scale
so that amounts of oil and grease greater or less than the amount extracted by Freon 113 are
equidistant from 1.00.
This graph shows that the mean solvent-Freon ratios range from approximately 0.4 to 3.3,
depending on the solvent, technique, and type of sample being extracted. Of interest in this graph is
the influence of the solvent or technique on the average amount of material extracted. For example,
Soxhlet extraction with the alternative solvents seems to extract somewhat more oil and grease than
the reference Soxhlet extraction with Freon 113, whereas less oil and grease is extracted with
sonication rather than with Soxhlet using Freon 113 unless methylene chloride is used in the
sonication extraction. It must be remembered that these ratios represent the average amount of
material extracted, whereas the RMSD represents the deviation from the amount extracted by Freon
113 on an individual sample basis. Therefore, although these averages are interesting, they cannot be
relied upon as the final criterion for equivalence.
The use of Freon 113 as the extracting solvent in the alternative techniques allowed the
variables of solvent and technique to be separated. Using cartridges (columns), the amount of oil and
grease extracted by Freon 113 and the alternative solvents is less than the amount extracted using the
reference separatory funnel method for all solvent-technique combinations except 80/20 with the new
cartridges. However, all solvents extract more material than Freon 113 when extracted by the same
cartridge technique.
Using 47 mm disks with Freon 113, nearly twice as much oil and grease is extracted than is
extracted by Freon 113 in the reference separatory funnel method. The amounts of oil and grease
extracted by the alternative solvents using the 47 mm disk are even greater than the amount extracted
by Freon 113. For 90 mm disks, the amount of oil and grease extracted by Freon 113 is slightly less
than the amount extracted using the reference separatory funnel method, but the alternative solvents
extract more than Freon 113 by either the reference separatory funnel extraction or 90 mm disk
extraction.
The effects of solvent versus technique cannot be separated for Flon-316 and NDIR because
Freon 113 was not tested with the NDIR technique. Therefore, it is not known whether the larger
amount of oil and grease indicated by the Flon/NDIR technique results from the use of Flon-316 or
results from the way in which the NDIR is calibrated.
It must be emphasized that the solvent to Freon ratios are averaged, and that the differences
may not be statistically significant due to the high variability of the data. Although significance tests
could be performed, the RMSD is a more reliable indicator of the difference between alternative
solvents/techniques and the reference Freon 113 separatory funnel method.
