5.5 CHLOR-ALKAU "
5.5.1 Process Description1
Chlorine and caustic are produced concurrently by the electrolysis of brine in either the diaphragm or mercury
cell. In the diaphragm cell, hydrogen is liberated at the cathode and a diaphragm is used to prevent contact of the
chlorine produced at the anode with either the alkali hydroxide formed or (he hydrogen. In the mercury cell,
liquid mercury is used as the cathode and forms an amalgam with the alkali metal. The amalgam is removed from
the cell and is allowed to react with water in a separate chamber, called a denuder, to form the alkali hydroxide
and hydrogen.
Chlorine gas leaving the cells is saturated with water vapor and then cooled to condense some of the water.
The gas is further dried by direct contact with strong sulfuric acid. The dry chlorine gas is then compressed for
in-plant use or is cooled further by refrigeration to liquefy the chlorine.
Caustic as produced in a diaphragm-cell plant leaves the cell as a dilute solution along with unreacted bnne.
The solution is evaporated to increase the concentration to a range of 50 to 7? percent, evaporation also
precipitates most of the residual salt, which is then removed by filtration. In mercury-cell plants, high-purity
caustic can be produced in any desired strength and needs no concentration.
5.5.2 Emissions and Controls1
Emissions from diaphragm- and mercury-cell chlorine plants include chlorine gas, carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, and hydrogen. Gaseous chlorine is present in the blow gas from liquefaction, from vents in tank cars
and tank containers during loading and unloading, and from storage tanks and process transfer tanks. Other
emissions include mercury vapor from mercury cathode cells and chlorine from compressor seals, header seals,
and the air blowing of depleted brine in mercury-cell plants.
Chlorine emissions from chlor-alkali plants may be controlled by one of three general methods: (1) use of the
gas in other plant processes, (2) neutralization in alkaline scrubbers, and (3) recovery of chlorine from effluent gas
streams. The effect of specific control practices is shown to some extent in the table on emission factors (Table
5.5-1).

COMPILATION
OF
AIR POLLUTION EMISSION FACTORS
INTRODUCTION
In the assessment of community air pollution, there is a critical need for accurate data on the
quantity and characteristics of emissions from the numerous sources that contribute to the problem.
The large number of individual sources and the diversity of source types make conducting field
measurements of emissions on a source-by-source basis at the point of release impractical. The only
feasible method of determining pollutant emissions for a given community is to make generalized
estimates of typical emissions from each of the source types.
One of the most useful (and logical) tools for estimating typical emissions is the "emission factor",
which is an estimate of the rate at which a pollutant is released to the atmosphere as a result of some
activity, such as combustion or industrial production, divided by the level of that activity (also
expressed in terms of a temporal rate). In other words, the emission factor relates the quantity of
pollutants emitted to some indicator (activity level) such as production capacity, quantity of fuel
burned, or vehicle miles traveled. In most cases, these factors are simply given as statistical or estimated
averages. That is, no empirical information on the various process parameters (temperature, reactant
concentrations, etc.) is considered in their calculation. However, for a few cases, such as in the
estimation of hydrocarbon emissions from petroleum storage tanks, precise empirical formulas
relating emissions to such variables as tank diameter, liquid storage temperature, and wind velocity
have been developed. Because of their superior precision, emission factors based on empirical formulas
are more desirable to obtain and can usually be given the highest accuracy rating. Factors derived from
statistical averages, however, if based on an adequate number of field measurements ("source tests"),
can also be both precise and accurate within practical and useful limits.
An example should illustrate how the factors are to be used:
Suppose a sulfuric acid plant, with a production rate of 200 tons/day of 100 percent acid, operates at
an overall SCh to SO3 conversion efficiency of 97 percent. Using the formula given as a footnote to Table
5.17-1 of this publication, the uncontrolled sulfur dioxide emissions can be calculated:
SO emissions = [-13.65 (% conversion efficiency) + 1365] x production rate
= [-13.65 (97%) + 1365] Ib/ton acid * 200 tons acid/day
= 40 Ib/ton acid x 200 tons acid/day
= 8000 Ib/day (3632 kg/day)
The emission factors presented in this report have been estimated using a wide spectrum of
techniques available for their determination. The preparation/revision of each factor section involves,
first of all, locating and obtaining all the known written information on that source category from such
sources as available literature, Environmental Protection Agency technical reports (including emission
test reports), and the National Emissions Data System point source file. After these data are reviewed,
organized, and analyzed, the process descriptions, process flowsheets, and other background portions
of the section are prepared. Then, using the compiled information, representative emission factors are
12/77 1
-------
developed for each pollutant emitted by each point source of the process category. As stated above,
these factors are usually obtained by simply averaging the respective numerical data obtained. When
feasible, the ranges in the factors are presented for further clarity. Occasionally, enough data exist to
permit the development of either empirical or theoretical formulas (or graphs) relating emission
factors to various process parameters such as stream temperature, sulfur content, or catalyst. In these
cases, representative values of these process parameters are selected and substituted into the formulas
or graphs to obtain representative emission factors, which are then tabulated. The pertinent formulas
and graphical data are also included in the section to allow the estimation of emission factors when the
process conditions differ from those selected as representative.
After the draft of a section is completed, it is circulated for technical review to various personnel
routinely familiar with the emission aspects of the particular activity. After these review comments are
obtained and evaluated, the final draft is written and submitted for editing and publication.
The limitations and applicability of emission factors must be understood. To give some notion of the
accuracy of the factors for a specific process, each set of factors has been ranked according to the
available data upon which it is based. Each rank is based on the weighting of' the various
information categories used to obtain the factor(s). These categories and associated numerical values
are:
Measured emission data: 20 points maximum.
Process data: 10 points maximum.
Engineering analysis: 10 points maximum.
The emission data category rates the amount of measured (source test) data available for the
development of the factor. The process data category involves such considerations as the variability of
the process and its resultant effect on emissions, as well as the amount of available data on these
variables. Finally, the engineering analysis category is concerned with the available data upon which
a material balance or related calculation can be made.
Depending on which information categories were employed to develop it, each set of factors was
assigned a numerical score, ranging from 5 to 40. For example, if the factors developed for a certain
process were based on a large number of source tests, a moderate amount of process data, and no
engineering analysis work, the assigned score would be .20 + 5 = 25.
Each numerical score was, in turn, converted to a letter rank as follows:
Numerical Rank Letter Rank
5 or less E (Poor)
6 to 15 D (Below average)
16 to 25 C I Average)
26 to 35 B ('Above average)
36 to 40 A (Excellent)
These rankings are presented on the tables throughout this publication.
The reader must be cautioned not to use these emission factors indiscriminately. That is, the
factors generally will not permit the calculation of accurate emissions measurements from an
individual installation. Only an on-site source test can provide data sufficiently accurate and precise to
use in such undertakings as design and purchase of control equipment or initiation of a legal action.
Factors are more valid when applied to a large number of processes, as, for example, when emission
inventories are conducted as part of community or areawide air pollution studies.

1.10 WOOD STOVES
1.10.1 General1
Small wood stoves are used primarily as domestic space heaters to supplement conventional heating systems,
particularly in the Northeastern United States. The common availability of wood and the increased cost of
conventional heating fuels has led to wider use of this type of residential heating unit. Wood combustion
produces significant emissions of particulates and carbon monoxide and an array of chemicals, aerosols, and tar,
depending upon the type of wood burned.
1.10.2 Process Description
Small wood stoves are usually box-shaped, made of cast iron, and have a flue that carries smoke from the
room. An adjustable intake vent controls the quantity of air available for combustion. Exhaust gases are removed
via the exhaust flue, which contains an adjustable damper. The rate of combustion is controlled by both the
damper and the intake vent. Wood is supported on grates, and ashes collect below for easy removal. Figure 1.10-1
illustrates a typical small wood stove.

1.11 WASTE OIL COMBUSTION
1.11.1 General
by Jake Summers, EPA
and Pacific Environmental Services
The largest source of waste oil is used automotive crankcase oil, originating mostly from automo-
bile service stations, and usually being found with small amounts of other automotive fluids. Other
sources of waste oil include metal working lubricants, heavy hydrocarbon fuels, animal and vegetable
oils and fats, and industrial oil materials.
In 1975, 57 percent of waste crankcase oil was consumed as alternative fuel in conventional boiler
equipment (Section 1.3). The remainder was refined (15 percent), blended into road oil or asphalt
(15 percent), or used for other nonfuel purposes (13 percent).1
1.11.2 Emissions and Controls
Lead emissions from burning waste oil depend on the lead content of the oil and on operating
conditions. Lead content may vary from 800 to 11,200 ppm.- Average concentrations have been sug-
gested as 6,000' and as 10,000 ppm3. During normal operation, about 50 percent of the lead is emitted
as particulate with flue gas.2.4 Combustion of fuel containing 10 percent waste oil gives particulate
ranging from 14 to 19 percent lead. Ash content from combustion of fuels containing waste oil is higher
than that for distillate or residual fuel oil, ranging from 0.03 to 3.78 weight percent, and lead accounts
for about 35 percent of the ash produced in such combustion.2
Currently, controls are not usually applied to oil fired combustion sources. An exception is utility
boilers, especially in the northeastern United States. Pretreatment by vacuum distillation, solvent
extraction, settling and/or centrifuging minimizes lead emissions but may make waste oil use uneco-
nomical.2 High efficiency particulate control by means of properly operated and maintained fabric
filters is 99 percent effective for 0.5-1 jam diameter lead and other submicron-sized particulate, but
such a degree of control is infrequently used.2

2. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
Revised by Robert Rosensteel
As defined in the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, the term "solid waste" means garbage, refuse, and other
discarded solid materials, including solid waste materials resulting from industrial, commercial, and agricultural
operations, and from community activities. It includes both combustibles and noncombustibles.
Solid wastes may be classified into four general categories: urban, industrial, mineral, and agricultural.
Although urban wastes represent only a relatively small part of the total solid wastes produced, this category has
a large potential for air pollution since in heavily populated areas solid waste is often burned to reduce the bulk
of material requiring final disposal.1 The following discussion will be limited to the urban and industrial waste
categories.
An average of 5.5 pounds (2.5 kilograms) of urban refuse and garbage is collected per capita per day in the
United States.2 This figure does not include uncollected urban and industrial wastes that are disposed of by other
means. Together, uncollected urban and industrial wastes contribute at least 4.5 pounds (2.0 kilograms) per
capita per day. The total gives a conservative per capita generation rate of 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) per day of
urban and industrial wastes. Approximately 50 percent of all the urban and industrial waste generated in the
United States is burned, using a wide variety of combustion methods with both enclosed and open
burning.3 Atmospheric emissions, both gaseous and particulate, result from refuse disposal operations that use
combustion to reduce the quantity of refuse. Emissions from these combustion processes cover a wide range
because of their dependence upon the refuse burned, the method of combustion or incineration, and other
factors. Because of the large number of variables involved, it is not possible, in general, to delineate when a higher
or lower emission factor, or an intermediate value should be used. For (his reason, an average emission factor has
been presented.

2. 1 REFUSE INCINERATION Revised by R obert R osensteel
2.1.1 Process Description1 ~4
The most common types of incinerators consist of a refractory-lined chamber with a grate upon which refuse
is burned. In some newer incinerators water-walled furnaces are used. Combustion products are formed by
heating and burning of refuse on the grate. In most cases, since insufficient underfire (undergrate) air is provided
to enable complete combustion, additional over-fire air is admitted above the burning waste to promote complete
gas-phase combustion. In multiple-chamber incinerators, gases from the primary chamber flow to a small
secondary mixing chamber where more air is admitted, and more complete oxidation occurs. As much as 300
percent excess air may be supplied in order to promote oxidation of combustibles. Auxiliary burners are
sometimes installed in the mixing chamber to increase the combustion temperature. Many small-size incinerators
are single-chamber units in which gases are vented from the primary combustion chamber directly into the
exhaust stack. Single-chamber incinerators of this type do not meet modern air pollution codes.
2.1.2 Definitions of Incinerator Categories1
No exact definitions of incinerator size categories exist, but for this report the following general categories and
descriptions have been selected:
1. Municipal incinerators — Multiple-chamber units often have capacities^greater than 50 tons (45.3 MT)
per r'ay and are usually equipped with automatic charging mechanisms, temperature controls, and
movable grate systems. Municipal incinerators are also usually equipped with some type of particulate
control device, such as a spray chamber or electrostatic precipitator.
2. Industrial/commercial incinerators — The capacities of these units cover a wide range, generally between
50 and 4,000 pounds (22.7 and 1,800 kilograms) per hour. Of either single- or multiple-chamber design,
these units are often manually charged and intermittently operated. Some industrial incinerators are
similar to municipal incinerators in size and design. Better designed emission control systems include
gas-fired afterburners or scrubbing, or both.
3. Trench incinerators — A trench incinerator is designed for the combustion of wastes having relatively high
heat content and low ash content. The design of the unit is simple: a U-shaped combustion chamber is
formed by the sides and bottom of the pit and air is supplied from nozzles along the top of the pit. The
nozzles are directed at an angle below the horizontal to provide a curtain of air across the top of the pit
and to provide air for combustion in the pit. The trench incinerator is not as efficient for burning wastes
as the municipal multiple-chamber unit, except where careful precautions are taken to use it for disposal
of low-ash, high-heat-content refuse, and where special attention is paid to proper operation. Low
construction and operating costs have resulted in the use of this incinerator to dispose of materials other
than those for which it was originally designed. Emission factors for trench incinerators used to burn
three such materials7 are included in Table 2.1-1.
4. Domestic incinerators — This category includes incinerators marketed for residential use. Fairly simple in
design, they may have single or multiple chambers and usually are equipped with an auxiliary burner to
aid combustion.

5. Flue-fed incinerators - These units, commonly found in large apartment houses, are characterized by
the charging method of dropping refuse down the incinerator flue and into the combustion chamber.
Modified flue-fed incinerators utilize afterburners and draft controls to improve combustion efficiency
and reduce emissions.
6. Pathological incinerators - These are incinerators used to dispose of animal remains and other organic
material of high moisture content. Generally, these units are in a size range of 50 to 100 pounds (22.7 to
45.4 kilograms) per hour. Wastes are burned on a hearth in the combustion chamber. The units are
equipped with combustion controls and afterburners to ensure good combustion and minimal emissions.
7. Controlled air incinerators - These units operate on a controlled combustion principle in which the
waste is burned in the absence of sufficient oxygen for complete combustion in the main chamber. This
process generates a highly combustible gas mixture that is then burned with excess air in a secondary
chamber, resulting in efficient combustion. These units are usually equipped with automatic charging
mechanisms and are characterized by the high effluent temperatures reached at the exit of the
incinerators.
2.1.3 Emissions and Controls1
Operating conditions, refuse composition, and basic incinerator design have a pronounced effect on
emissions. The manner in which air is supplied to the combustion chamber or chambers has, among all the
parameters, the greatest effect on the quantity of particulate emissions. Air may be introduced from beneath the
chamber, from the side, or from the top of the combustion area. As underfire air is increased, an increase in
fly-ash emissions occurs. Erratic refuse charging causes a disruption of the combustion bed and a subsequent
release of large quantities of particulates. Large quantities of uncombusted particulate matter and carbon
monoxide are also emitted for an extended period after charging of batch-fed units because of interruptions in
the combustion process. In continuously fed units, furnace particulate emissions are strongly dependent upon
grate type. The use of rotary kiln and reciprocating grates results in higher particulate emissions than the use of
rocking or traveling grates.14 Emissions of oxides of sulfur are dependent on the sulfur content of the refuse.
Carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbon emissions may be significant and are caused by poor combustion
resulting from improper incinerator design or operating conditions. Nitrogen oxide emissions increase with an
increase in the temperature of the combustion zone, an increase in the residence time in the combustion zone
before quenching, and an increase in the excess air rates to the point where dilution cooling overcomes the effect
of increased oxygen concentration.14
Table 2.1-2 lists the relative collection efficiencies of particulate control equipment used for municipal
incinerators. This control equipment has little effect on gaseous emissions. Table 2.1-1 summarizes the
uncontrolled emission factors for the various types of incinerators previously discussed.

3. INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE SOURCES
The internal combustion engine in both mobile and stationary applications is a major source of air pollutant
emissions. Internal combustion engines were responsible for approximately 73 percent of the carbon monoxide,
56 percent of the hydrocarbons, and 50 percent of the nitrogen oxides (NOX as N02) emitted during 1970 in the
United States.1 These sources, however, are relatively minor contributors of total particulate and sulfur oxides
emissions. In 1970, nationwide, internal combustion sources accounted for only about 2.5 percent of the total
particulate and 3.4 percent of the sulfur oxides.1
The three major uses for internal combustion engines are: to propel highway vehicles, to propel off-highway
vehicles, and to provide power from a stationary position. Associated with each of these uses are engine duty
cycles that have a profound effect on the resulting air pollutant emissions from the engine. The following sections
describe the many applications of internal combustion engines, the engine duty cycles, and the resulting
emissions.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Calendar year - A cycle in the Gregorian calendar of 365 or 366 days divided into 12 months beginning with
January and ending with December.
Catalytic device - A piece of emission control equipment that is anticipated to be the major component used in
post 1974 light-duty vehicles to meet the Federal emission standards.
Cold vehicle operation — The first 505 seconds of vehicle operation following a 4-hour engine-off period, (for
catalyst vehicles a 1-hour engine-off period).
Composite emission factor (highway vehicle) — The emissions of a vehicle in gram/mi (g/km) that results from the
product of the calendar year emission rate, the speed correction factor, the temperature correction factor, and
the hot/cold weighting correction factor.
Crankcase emissions — Airborne substance emitted to the atmosphere from any portion of the crankcase
ventilation or lubrication systems of a motor vehicle engine.
1975 Federal Test Procedure (FTP) — The Federal motor vehicle emission test as described in the Federal
Register, Vol. 36, Number 128, July 2, 1971.
Fuel evaporative emissions — Vaporized fuel emitted into the atmosphere from the fuel system of a motor
vehicle.
Heavy duty vehicle — A motor vehicle designated primarily for transportation of property and rated at more than
8500 pounds (3856 kilograms) gross vehicle weight (GVW) or designed primarily for transportation of persons
and having a capacity of more than 12 persons.
High altitude emission factors — Substantial changes in emission factors from gasoline-powered vehicles occur as
altitude increases. These changes are caused by fuel metering enrichment because of decreasing air density. No
relationship between mass emissions and altitude has been developed. Tests have been conducted at near sea
level and at approximately 5000 feet (1524 meters) above sea level, however. Because most major U.S. urban
areas at high altitude are close to 5000 feet (1524 meters), an arbitrary value of 3500 ft (1067 m) and above is
used to define high-altitude cities.
Horsepower-hours - A unit of work.
Hot/cold weighting correction factor - The ratio of pollutant exhaust emissions for a given percentage of cold
operation (w) to pollutant exhaust emissions measured on the 1975 Federal Test Procedure (20 percent cold
operation) at ambient temperature (t).
Light duty truck - Any motor vehicle designated primarily for transportation of property and rated at 8500
pounds (3856 kilograms) GVW or less. Although light-duty trucks have a load carrying capability that exceeds
that of passenger cars, they are typically used primarily for personal transportation as passenger car
substitutes.
Light duty vehicle (passenger car) - Any motor vehicle designated primarily for transportation of persons and
having a capacity of 12 persons or less.
12/75 Internal Combustion Engine Sources 3.0-1
-------
-------
Modal emission model — A mathematical model that can be used to predict the warmed-up exhaust emissions for
groups of light-duty vehicles over arbitrary driving sequences.
Model year — A motor vehicle manufacturer's annual production period. If a manufacturer has no annual
production period, the term "model year"' means a calendar year.
Model year mix - The distribution of vehicles registered by model year expressed as a fraction of the total vehicle
population.
Nitrogen oxides — The sum of the nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide contaminants in a gas sample expressed as if
the nitric oxide were in the form of nitrogen dioxide. All nitrogen oxides values in this chapter are corrected
for relative humidity.
Speed correction factor — The ratio of the pollutant (p) exhaust emission factor at speed "x" to the pollutant (p)
exhaust emission factor as determined by the 1975 Federal Test Procedure at 19.6 miles per hour (31.6
kilometers per hour).

3.1 HIGHWAY VEHICLES
Passenger cars, light trucks, heavy trucks, and motorcycles comprise the four main categories of highway
vehicles. Within each of these categories, powerplant and fuel variations result in significantly different emission
characteristics. For example, heavy trucks may be powered by gasoline or diesel fuel or operate on a gaseous fuel
such as compressed natural gas (CNG).
It is important to note that highway vehicle emission factors change with time and, therefore, must be
calculated for a specific time period, normally one calendar year. The major reason for this time dependence is
the gradual replacement of vehicles without emission control equipment by vehicles with control equipment, as
well as the gradual deterioration of vehicles with control equipment as they accumulate age and mileage. The
emission factors presented in this chapter cover only calendar years 1971 and 1972 and are based on analyses of
actual tests of existing sources and control systems. Projected emission factors for future calendar years are no
longer presented in this chapter because projections are "best guesses" and are best presented independently of
analytical results. The authors are aware of the necessity for forecasting emissions; therefore, projected emission
factors are available in Appendix D of this document.
Highway vehicle emission factors are presented in two forms in this chapter. Section 3.1.1 contains average
emission factors for calendar year 1972 for selected values of vehicle miles traveled by vehicle type (passenger
cars, light trucks, and heavy trucks), ambient temperature, cold/hot weighting, and average vehicle speed. The
section includes one case that represents the average national emission factors as well as thirteen other scenarios
that can be used to assess the sensitivity of the composite emission factor to changing input conditions. All
emission factors are given in grams of pollutant per kilometer traveled (and in grams of pollutant per mile
traveled).
The emission factors given in sections 3.1.2 through 3.1.7 are for individual classes of highway vehicles and
their application is encouraged if specific statistical data are available for the area under study. The statistical data
required include vehicle registrations by model year and vehicle type, annual vehicle travel in miles or kilometers
by vehicle type and age, average ambient temperature, percentage of cold-engine operation by vehicle type, and
average vehicle speed. When regional inputs are not available, national values (which are discussed) may be
applied.

3.1.1 Average Emission Factors for Highway Vehicles revised by David S. Kircher
and Marcia E. Williams
3.1.1.1 General—Emission factors presented in this section are intended to assist those individuals interested in
compiling approximate mobile source emission estimates for large areas, such as an individual air quality region or
the entire nation, for calendar year 1972. Projected mobile source emission factors for future years are no longer
presented in this section. This change in presentation was made to assure consistency with the remainder of this
publication, which contains emission factors based on actual test results on currently controlled sources and
pollutants. Projected average emission factors for vehicles are available, however, in Appendix D of this
publication.
The emission factor calculation techniques presented in sections 3.1.2 through 3.1.5 of this chapter are
strongly recommended for the formulation of localized emission estimates required for air quality modeling or
for the evaluation of air pollutant control strategies. Many factors, which vary with geographic location and
estimation situation, can affect emission estimates considerably. The factors of concern include average vehicle
speed, percentage of cold vehicle operation, percentage of travel by vehicle category (automobiles, light trucks,
heavy trucks), and ambient temperature. Clearly, the infinite variations in these factors make it impossible to
present composite mobile source emission factors for each application. An effort has been made, therefore, to
present average emission factors for a range of conditions. The following conditions are considered for each of
these cases:
Average vehicle speed - Two vehicle speeds are considered. The first is an average speed of 19.6 mi/hr (31.6
km/hr), which should be typical of a large percentage of urban vehicle operation. The second is an average speed
of 45 mi/hr (72 km/hr), which should be typical of highway or rural operation.
Percentage of cold operation — Three percentages of cold operation are considered. The first (at 31.6 km/hr)
assumes that 20 percent of the automobiles and light trucks are operating in a cold condition (representative of
vehicle start-up after a long engine-off period) and that 80 percent of the automobiles and light trucks are
operating in a hot condition (warmed-up vehicle operation). This condition can be expected to assess the engine
temperature situation over a large area for an entire day. The second situation assumes that 100 percent of the
automobiles and light trucks are operating in a hot condition (at 72 km/hr). This might be applicable to rural or
highway operation. The third situation (at 31.6 km/hr) assumes that 100 percent of the automobiles and light
trucks are operating in a cold condition. This might be a worst-case situation around an indirect source such as a
sports stadium after an event lets out. In all three situations, heavy-duty vehicles are assumed to be operating in a
hot condition.
Percentage of travel by vehicle type — Three situations are considered. The first (at both 31.6 km/hr and 72
km/hr) involves a nationwide mix of vehicle miles traveled by automobiles, light trucks, heavy gasoline trucks,
and heavy diesel trucks. The specific numbers are 80.4, 11.8, 4.6, and 3.2 percent of total vehicle miles traveled,
respectively.1' 2 The second (at 31.6 km/hr) examines a mix of vehicle miles traveled that might be found in a
central city area. The specific numbers are 63, 32, 2.5, and 2.5 percent, respectively. The third (31.6 km/hr)
examines a mix of vehicles that might be found in a suburban location or near a localized indirect source where
no heavy truck operation exist. The specific numbers are 88.2, 11.8, 0, and 0 percent, respectively.
Ambient temperature — Two situations at 31.6 km/hr are considered: an average ambient temperature of 24°C
(75°F) and an average ambient temperature of 10°C (50°F).
Table 3.1.1-1 presents composite CO, HC, and NOX factors for the 13 cases discussed above for calendar year
1972. Because particulate emissions and sulfur oxides emissions are not assumed to be functions of the factors
discussed above, these emission factors are the same for all scenarios and are also presented in the table. The table
entries were calculated using the techniques described and data presented in sections 3.1.2, 3.1.4, and 3.1.5 of
this chapter. Examination of Table 3.1.1-1 can indicate the sensitivity of the composite emission factor to various

scenario. When specific input factor data are not available, however, it is hoped that the range of values presented
in the table will cover the majority of applications. The user should be sure, however, that the appropriate
scenario is chosen to fit the situation under analysis. In many cases, it is not necessary to apply the various
temperature, vehicle speed, and cold/hot operation correction factors because the basic emission factors (24°C,
31.6 km/hr, 20 percent cold operation, nationwide mix of travel by vehicle category) are reasonably accurate
predictors of motor vehicle emissions on a regionwide (urban) basis.

4.4 TRANSPORTATION AND MARKETING Charles Masser
OF PETROLEUM LIQUIDS1 and
Audrey McBath
4.4.1 Process Description
As Figure 4.4.1 indicates, the transportation and marketing of petroleum liquids involves many distinct
operations, each of which represents a potential source of hydrocarbon evaporation loss. Crude oil is trans-
ported from production operations to the refinery by tankers, barges, tank cars, tank trucks, and pipelines.
In the same manner, refined petroleum products are conveyed to fuel marketing terminals and
petrochemical industries by tankers, barges, tank cars, tank trucks, and pipelines. From the fuel
marketing terminals, the fuels are delivered by tank trucks to service stations, commercial accounts, and
local bulk storage plants. The final destination for gasoline is usually a motor vehicle gasoline tank. A
similar distribution path may also be developed for fuel oils and other petroleum products.
4.4.2 Emissions and Controls
Evaporate hydrocarbon emissions from the transportation and marketing of petroleum liquids may be
separated into four categories, depending on the storage equipment and mode of transportation used:
1. Large storage tanks: Breathing, working, and standing storage losses.
2. Marine vessels, tank cars, and tank trucks: Loading, transit, and ballasting losses.
3. Service stations: Bulk fuel drop losses and underground tank breathing losses.
4. Motor vehicle tanks: Refueling losses.
(In addition, evaporative and exhaust emissions are also associated with motor vehicle operation. These
topics are discussed in Chapter 3.)
4.4.2.1 Large Storage Tanks — Losses from storage tanks are thoroughly discussed in Section 4.3.
4.4.2.2 Marine Vessels, Tank Cars, and Tank Trucks — Losses from marine vessels, tank cars, and tank
trucks can be categorized into loading losses, transit losses, and ballasting losses.
Loading losses are the primary source of evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from marine vessel,
tank car, and tank truck operations. Loading losses occur as hydrocarbon vapors residing in empty cargo
tanks are displaced to the atmosphere by the liquid being loaded into the cargo tanks. The hydrocarbon
\ apors displaced from the cargo tanks are a composite of (1) hydrocarbon vapors formed in the empty
tank by evaporation of residual product from previous hauls and (2) hydrocarbon vapors generated in
the tank as the new product is being loaded. The quantity of hydrocarbon losses from loading opera-
tions is, therefore, a function of the following parameters.
• Physical and chemical characteristics of the previous cargo.
• Method of unloading the previous cargo.
• Operations during the transport of the empty carrier to the loading terminal.
• Method of loading the new cargo.
• Physical and chemical characteristics of the new cargo.

The principal methods of loading cargo carriers are presented in Figures 4.4-2, 4.4-3 and 4.4-4. In the
splash loading method, the fill pipe dispensing the cargo is only partially lowered into the cargo tank. Signif-
icant turbulence and vapor/liquid contact occur during the splash loading operation, resulting in high
levels of vapor generation and loss. If the turbulence is high enough, liquid droplets will be entrained in the
vented vapors.

A second method of loading is submerged loading. The two types of submerged loading are the
submerged fill pipe method and the bottom loading method. In the submerged fill pipe method, the fill pipe
descends almost to the bottom of the cargo tank. In the bottom loading method, the fill pipe enters the cargo
tank from the bottom. During the major portion of both methods of submerged loading, the fill pipe
opening is positioned below the liquid level. The submerged loading method significantly reduces liquid
turbulence and vapor/liquid contact, thereby resulting in much lower hydrocarbon losses than en-
countered during splash loading methods.

The history of a cargo carrier is just as important a factor in loading losses as the method of loading. If the
carrier has just been cleaned or has carried a nonvolatile liquid such as fuel oil, it will be full of clean air
immediately prior to loading. If it has just carried gasoline and has not been vented, the carrier will be full of
air saturated with hydrocarbon vapor. In the latter case, the residual vapors are expelled along with newly
generated vapors during the subsequent loading operation.
Some cargo carriers are designated to transport only one product. In this situation, tanks are not cleaned
between trips and so return for loading containing air fully or partially saturated with vapor. The extent of
this situation differs for marine vessels, tank cars, large and small tank trucks. It also varies with ownership
of the carrier, petroleum liquid being transported, geographic location, season of the year, and control
measure employed.
Gasoline tank trucks may be in "dedicated balance service", where the truck picks up the vapors
displaced during unloading operations and transports them in the tank back to the loading terminal. Figure
4.4-5 shows a tank truck in dedicated vapor balance service unloading gasoline to an underground service
station tank and filling up with displaced gasoline vapors to be returned to the truck loading terminal.
The vapors in an "empty" gasoline tank truck in dedicated balance service are normally saturated with
hydrocarbons. Dedicated balance service is not usually practiced with marine vessels.
Emissions from loading hydrocarbon liquid can be estimated (within 30 percent) using the following
expression:

The saturation factor (S) represents the expelled vapor's fractional approach to saturation, and it accounts
for the variations observed in emission rates from the different unloading and loading methods. Table
4.4-1 lists suggested saturation factors (S).
Ballasting operations are a major source of hydrocarbon emissions associated with unloading petroleum
liquids at marine terminals. It is common practice for large tankers to fill several cargo tanks with water
after unloading their cargo. This water, termed ballast, improves the stability of the empty tanker on rough
seas during the subsequent return voyage. Ballasting emissions occur as hydrocarbon laden air in the
empty cargo tank is displaced to the atmosphere by ballast water being pumped into the empty cargo
tank. Although ballasting practices vary quite a bit, individual cargo tanks are ballasted about 80 percent,
and the total vessel is ballasted approximately 40 percent, of capacity. Ballasting emissions from gasoline
and crude oil tankers are approximately 0.8 and 0.61b/103gal., respectively, based on total tanker capacity.
These estimates are for motor gasolines and medium volatility crudes (RVP—5 psia).2 Upon arrival in port,
this ballast water is pumped from the cargo tanks before loading the new cargo. The ballasting of cargo
tanks reduces the quantity of vapor returning in the "empty" tanker, thereby reducing the quantity of
vapors emitted during subsequent tanker loading operations.
Recent studies on gasoline loading losses from ships and barges have led to the development of more
accurate emission factors for these specific loading operations. These factors are presented in Table 4.4-2
and should be used instead of Equation (1) for gasoline loading operations at marine terminals.2

Control measures for reducing loading emissions include the application of alternate loading methods
producing lower emissions and the application of vapor recovery equipment. Vapor recovery equipment
captures hydrocarbon vapors displaced during loading and ballasting operations and recovers the hydro-
carbon vapors by the use of refrigeration, absorption, adsorption, and/or compression. Figure 4.4-6 demon-
strates the recovery of gasoline vapors from tank trucks during loading operation at bulk terminals. Control
efficiencies range from 90 to 98 percent, depending on the nature of the vapors and on the type of recovery
equipment employed.4

In addition to loading and ballasting losses, losses occur while the cargo is in transit. Transit losses are
similar in many ways to breathing losses associated with petroleum storage (refer to Section 4.3). Experi-
mental tests on tankers and barges have indicated that transit losses can be calculated using Equation (2):3

In the absence of specific inputs for Equations (1) and (2), typical evaporative hydrocarbon emissions
from loading operations are presented in Table 4.4-3. It should be noted that, although the crude oil used to
calculate the emission values presented in Table 4.4-3 has an RVP of 5, the RVP of crude oils can range
from less than 1 to 10. In areas where loading and transportation sources are major factors affecting
the air quality, it is advisable to obtain the necessary parameters and to calculate emission estimates from
Equations (1) and (2).
4.4-8
EMISSION FACTORS
7/79
-------
Emissions from gasoline trucks have been studied by a combination of theoretical and experimental
techniques, and typical emission values are presented in Table 4.4-S.7'8 Emissions depend upon the extent
of venting from the tank truck during transit, which in turn depends on the tightness of the truck, the pres-
sure relief valve settings, the pressure in the tank at the start of the trip, the vapor pressure of the fuel being
transported, and the degree of saturation (with fuel vapor) of the vapor space in the tank. The emissions are
not directly proportional to the time spent in transit. As the leakage rate of the truck increases, emissions
increase up to a point and then level off as other factors take over in determining the rate. Tank trucks
in dedicated vapor balance service typically contain saturated vapors, and this leads to lower emissions
during transit, because no additional fuel evaporates to raise the pressure in the tank to cause venting.
Table 4.4-3 lists "typical" values for emissions and "extreme" values which could occur in the unlikely
event that all determining factors combined to cause maximum emissions.

4.4.2.3 Service Stations - Another major source of evaporative hydrocarbon emissions is the filling of
underground gasoline storage tanks at service stations. Normally, gasoline is delivered to service stations
in large (8000 gallon) tank trucks. Emissions are generated when hydrocarbon vapors in the underground
storage tank are displaced to the atmosphere by the gasoline being loaded into the tank. As with other
4.4-10
EMISSION FACTORS

-------
loading losses, the quantity of the service station tank loading loss depends on several variables, including
the size and length of the fill pipe, the method of filling, the tank configuration and the gasoline temperature,
vapor pressure, and composition. An average hydrocarbon emission rate for submerged filling is 7.3 lb/103
gallons of transferred gasoline, and the rate for splash filling is 11.5 lb/103 gallons of transferred gasoline
(Table 4.4-4).4

'Emissions include any vapor loss from the underground tank to the gas pump.
Emissions from underground tank filling operations at service stations can be reduced by the use of the
vapor balance system (Figure 4.4-5). The vapor balance system employs a vapor return hose which returns
gasoline vapors displaced from the underground tank to the tank truck storage compartments being
emptied. The control efficiency of the balance system ranges from 93 to 100 percent. Hydrocarbon emis-
sions from underground tank filling operations at a service station employing the vapor balance system and
submerged filling are not expected to exceed 0.3 lb/103 gallons of transferred gasoline.
A second source of hydrocarbon emissions from service stations is underground tank breathing. Breath-
ing losses occur daily and are attributed to temperature changes, barometric pressure changes, and
gasoline evaporation. The type of service station operation also has a large impact on breathing losses. An
average breathing emission rate is 1 lb/103 gallons throughput.5
4.4.2.4 Motor Vehicle Refueling - An additional source of evaporative hydrocarbon emissions at service
stations is vehicle refueling operations. Vehicle refueling emissions are attributable to vapors displaced
from the automobile tank by dispensed gasoline and to spillage. The quantity of displaced vapors is de-
pendent on gasoline temperature, auto tank temperature, gasoline RVP, and dispensing rates. Although
several correlations have been developed to estimate losses due to displaced vapors, significant contro-
versy exists concerning these correlations. It is estimated that the hydrocarbon emissions due to vapors
displaced during vehicle refueling average 9 lb/103 gallons of dispensed gasoline.4-5
7/79
Evaporation Loss Sources
4.4-11
-------
The quantity of spillage loss is a function of the type of service station, vehicle tank configuration,
operator technique, and operation discomfort indices. An overall average spillage loss is 0.7 lb/103 gallons
of dispensed gasoline.6
Control methods for vehicle refueling emissions are based on conveying the vapors displaced from the
vehicle fuel tank to the underground storage tank vapor space through the use of a special hose and nozzle
(Figure 4.4-7). In the "balance" vapor control system, the vapors are conveyed by natural pressure dif-
ferentials established during refueling. In "vacuum assist'" vapor control systems, the conveyance of
vapors from the auto fuel tank to the underground fuel tank is assisted by a vacuum pump. The overall
control efficiency of vapor control systems for vehicle refueling emissions is estimated to be 88 to 92
percent.4

4.5 CUTBACK ASPHALT, EMULSIFIED ASPHALT AND ASPHALT Tom Lahre
CEMENT
4.5.1 Generall-3
Asphalt surfaces and pavements are composed of compacted aggregate and an asphalt binder. Aggregate
materials are produced from rock quarries as manufactured stone or are obtained from natural gravel or soil
deposits. Metal ore refining processes produce artificial aggregates as a byproduct. In asphalt, the
aggregate performs three functions. It transmits the load from the surface to the base course, takes the
abrasive wear of traffic, and provides a nonskid surface. The asphalt binder holds the aggregate together,
preventing displacement and loss of aggregate and providing a waterproof cover for the base.
Asphalt binders take the form of asphalt cement (the residue of the distillation of crude oils) and liquified
asphalts. To be used for pavement, asphalt cement, which is semisolid, must be heated prior to mixing with
aggregate. The resulting hot mix asphalt concrete is generally applied in thicknesses of from two to six
inches. Liquified asphalts are (1) asphalt cutbacks (asphalt cement thinned or "cutback" with volatile
petroleum distillates such as naptha, kerosene, etc.) and (2) asphalt emulsions (nonflammable liquids pro-
duced by combining asphalt and water with an emulsifying agent, such as soap). Liquified asphalts are used
in tack and seal operations, in priming roadbeds for hot mix application, and for paving operations up to
several inches thick.
Cutback asphalts fall into three broad categories: rapid cure (RC), medium cure (MC), and slow cure
(SC) road oils. SC, MC and RC cutbacks are prepared by blending asphalt cement with heavy residual oils,
kerosene-type solvents, or naptha and gasoline solvents, respectively. Depending on the viscosity desired,
the proportions of solvent added generally range from 25 to 45 percent by volume.
Emulsified asphalts are of two basic types. One type relies on water evaporation to cure. The other type
(cationic emulsions) relies on ionic bonding of the emulsion and the aggregate surface. Emulsified asphalt
can substitute for cutback in almost any application. Emulsified asphalts are gaining in popularity, because
of the energy and environmental problems associated with the use of cutback asphalts.
4.5.2 Emissions1'2
The primary pollutants of concern from asphalts and asphalt paving operations are volatile organic
compounds (VOC). Of the three types of asphalts, the major source of VOC is cutback. Only minor
amounts of VOC are emitted from emulsified asphalts end asphalt cement.
VOC emissions from cutback asphalts result from the evaporation of the petroleum distillate solvent, or
diluent, used to liquify the asphalt cement. Emissions occur at both the job site and the mixing plant. At the
job site, VOCs are emitted from the equipment used to apply the asphaltic product and from the road
surface. At the mixing plant, VOCs are released during mixing and stockpiling. The largest source of
emissions, however, is the road surface itself.
Eor any given amount of cutback asphalt, total emissions are believed to be the same, regardless of
stockpiling, mixing and application times. The two major variables affecting both the quantity of VOC
emitted arid the time over which emissions occur are the type and the quantity of petroleum distillate used
as a diluent. As an approximation, long term emissions from cutback asphalts can be estimated by
assuming that 95 percent of the diluent evaporates from rapid cure (RC) cutback asphalts, 70 percent from
medium cure (MC) cutbacks, and about 25 percent from slow cure (SC) asphalts, by weight percent. Some
of the diluent appears to be retained permanently in the road surface after application. Limited test data
suggest that, from rapid cure (RC) asphalt, 75 percent of the total diluent loss occurs on the first day after
7/79 Evaporation Lous Sources 4.5-1
-------
application, 90 percent occurs within the first month, and 95 percent in three to four months. Evaporation
takes place more slowly from medium cure (MC) asphalts, with roughly 20 percent of the diluent being
emitted during the first day, 50 percent during the first week, and 70 percent after three to four months. No
measured data are available for slow cure (SC) asphalts, although the quantity emitted is believed to be
considerably less than with either rapid or medium cure asphalts, and the time during which emissions take
place is expected to be considerably longer (Figure 4.5-1). An example calculation for determining VOC
emissions from cutback asphalts is given below:
Example: Local records indicate that 10,000 kg of RC cutback asphalt (containing 45 percent
diluent, by volume) was applied in a given area during the year. Calculate the mass of VOC
emitted during the year from this application.
To determine VOC emissions, the volume of diluent present in the cutback asphalt must
first be determined. Because of density of naptha (0.7 kg/1) differs from that of asphalt
cement (1.1 kg/1), the following equations should be solved to determine the volume of
diluent (x) and the volume of asphalt cement (y) in the cutback asphalt:
(Q.I kg\
10,000 kg cutback asphalt = (x liter, diluent) •
liter
+ (y liter, asphalt cement) . /- . g.)
\ liter /
and
x = 0.45, (%, by volume, of diluent)
y = 0.55 (%, by volume of asphalt cement)
From these equations, the volume of diluent present in the cutback asphalt is determined
to be about 4900 liters, or about 3400 kg. Assuming that 95 percent of this is evaporative
VOC, emissions are then: 3400 kg x 0.95 = 3200 kg (i.e., 32%, by weight, of the cutback
asphalt eventually evaporates).
These equations can be used for medium cure and slow cure asphalts by assuming typical diluent densities
of 0.8 and 0.9 kg/liter, respectively. Of course, if actual density values are known from local records, they
should be used in the above equations rather than typical values. Also, if different diluent contents are
used, they should also be reflected in the above calculations. If actual diluent contents are not known, a
typical value of 35 percent may be assumed for inventory purposes.
In lieu of solving the equations in the above example, Table 4.5-1 may be used to estimate long term
emissions from cutback asphalts. Table 4.5-1 directly yields long term emissions as a function of the
volume of diluent added to the cutback and of the density of the diluents and asphalt cement used in the
cutback asphalt. If short term emissions are to be estimated, Figure 4.5-1 should be used in conjunction
with Table 4.5-1.
No control devices are employed to reduce evaporative emissions from cutback asphalts. Asphalt
emulsions are typically used in place of cutback asphalts to eliminate VOC emissions.

4.6 SOLVENT DECREASING Audrey McBath
4.6.1 Process Description1^
Solvent degreasing (or solvent cleaning) is the physical process of using organic solvents to remove
grease, fats, oils, wax or soil from various metal, glass or plastic items. The types of equipment used in this
method are categorized as cold cleaners, open top vapor degreasers or conveyorized degreasers. Non-
aqueous solvents such as petroleum distillates, chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones and alcohols are used.
Solvent selection is based on the solubility of the substance to be removed and on the toxicity, flammability,
flash point, evaporation rate, boiling point, cost and several other properties of the solvent.
The metalworking industries are the major users of solvent degreasing, i.e., automotive, electronics,
plumbing, aircraft, refrigeration and business machine industries. Solvent cleaning is also used in in-
dustries such as printing, chemicals, plastics, rubber, textiles, glass, paper and electric power. Most
repair stations for transportation vehicles and electric tools utilize solvent cleaning at least part of the time.
Many industries use water based alkaline wash systems for degreasing, and since these systems emit no
solvent vapors to the atmosphere, they are not included in this discussion.
4.6.1.1 Cold Cleaners — The two basic types of cold cleaners are maintenance and manufacturing.
Cold cleaners are batch loaded, nonboiling solvent degreasers, usually providing the simplest and least ex-
pensive method of metal cleaning. Maintenance cold cleaners are more numerous and smaller, generally
using petroleum solvents such as mineral spirits (petroleum distillates and Stoddard solvents). Manufactur-
ing cold cleaners use a wide variety of solvents, which perform higher quality cleaning, are more
specialized, and have about twice the average emission rate of maintenance cold cleaners. Some cold
cleaners can serve both purposes.
Cold cleaner operations include spraying, brushing, flushing and immersion. In a typical maintenance
cleaner (Figure 4.6-1), dirty parts are cleaned manually by spraying and then soaking in the tank. After
cleaning, the parts are either suspended over the tank to drain or are placed on an external rack that
routes the drained solvent back into the cleaner. The cover is intended to be closed whenever parts are not
being handled in the cleaner. Manufacturing cold cleaners vary widely in design, but there are two basic
tank designs: the simple spray sink and the dip tank. Of these, the dip tank provides more thorough
cleaning through immersion, and often is made to improve cleaning efficiency by agitation.
4.6.1.2 Open Top Vapor Systems — Open top vapor degreasers are batch loaded boiling degreasers that
clean using condensation of hot solvent vapor on colder metal parts. Vapor degreasing uses halogenated
solvents (usually perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, or 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane), because they are not
flammable, and their vapors are much heavier than air.
A typical vapor degreaser (Figure 4.6-1) is a sump containing a heater that boils the solvent to generate vapors.
The upper level of these pure vapors is controlled by condenser coils and/or a water jacket encircling the device.
Solvent and moisture condensed on the coils are directed to a water separator, where the heavier solvent is drawn
off the bottom and is returned to the vapor degreaser. A "freeboard" extends above the top of the vapor zone to
minimize vapor escape. Parts to be cleaned are immersed in the vapor zone, and condensation continues until
they are heated to the vapor temperature. Residual liquid solvent on the parts rapidly evaporates as they are
slowly removed from the vapor zone. Lip mounted exhaust systems capture solvent vapors and carry them away
from operating personnel. Cleaning action is often increased by spraying the parts with solvent below the vapor
level or by immersing them in the liquid solvent bath. Nearly all vapor degreasers are equipped with a water sep-
arator which allows the solvent to flow back into the degreaser.
Emission rates are usually estimated from solvent consumption data for the particular degreasing opera-
tion under consideration. Solvents are often purchased specifically for use in degreasing and are not used in

any other plant operations. In these cases, purchase records provide the necessary information, and an
emission factor of 1,000 kg of volatile organic emissions per metric ton of solvent purchased can be applied
(Table 4.6-1). This factor is based on the assumption that all solvent purchased is eventually emitted. When
information on solvent consumption is not available, emission rates can be estimated if the nurmVr and
type of degreasing units are known. The factors in Table 4.6-1 are based on the number of degreasers
and emissions produced nationwide and may be considerably in error when applied to one particular unit.
The expected effectiveness of various control devices and procedures is listed in Table 4.6-2. As a first
approximation, this efficiency can be applied without regard for the specific solvent being used. However,
efficiencies are generally higher for more volatile solvents. These solvents also result in higher emission
rates than those computed from the "average" factors listed in Table 4.6-1.

solvent, but they merit separate consideration because they are continuously loaded and are almost

4.6.2 Emissions and Controlsl>2,3
Emissions from cold cleaners occur through (1) waste solvent evaporation, (2) solvent carry-out
(evaporation from wet parts), (3) solvent bath evaporation, (4) spray evaporation, and (5) agitation (Figure
4.6-1). Waste solvent loss, cold cleaning's greatest emission source, can be minimized through distillation
4.6-4

-------
and sending waste solvent to special incineration plants. Draining cleaned parts for at least 15 seconds
reduces carry-out emissions. Bath evaporation can be controlled by regularly using a cover, allowing an
adequate freeboard height and avoiding excessive drafts in the workshop. If the solvent used is insoluble in,
and heavier than, water, a layer of water about two to four inches thick covering the halogenated solvent
can also reduce bath evaporation. This is known as a "water cover". Spraying at low pressure helps to
reduce solvent loss from this part of the process. Agitation emissions can be controlled by using a cover,
agitating no longer than necessary, and avoiding the use of agitation with low volatility solvents. Emissions
of low volatility solvents increase significantly with agitation. However, contrary to what one might expect,
agitation causes only a smalJ increase in emissions of high volatility solvents. Solvent type, particularly
its volatility at the operating temperature, is the variable which most affects cold cleaner emission rates.
As with cold cleaning, open top vapor degreasing emissions relate heavily to proper operating methods.
Most emissions are due to (6) diffusion and convection, which can be minimized by using an automated
cover, regularly using a manual cover, spraying below the vapor level, optimizing work loads, or using a
refrigerated freeboard chiller (for which a carbon adsorption unit would be substituted on larger units).
Safety switches and thermostats that prevent emissions during malfunctions and abnormal operation also
reduce diffusion and convection from the vaporized solvent. Additional sources are (7) solvent carry-out, (8)
exhaust systems and (9) waste solvent evaporation (Figure 4.6-1). Carry-out is directly affected by the size
and shape of the workload, racking of parts, and cleaning and drying time. Exhaust emissions can be nearly
eliminated by a carbon adsorber that collects the solvent vapors for reuse. Waste solvent evaporation is not
so much a problem with vapor degreasers as it is with cold cleaners, because the halogenated solvents used
are often distilled and recycled by solvent recovery systems.
Because of their large workload capacity and the fact that they are usually enclosed, conveyorized
degreasers emit less solvent per part cleaned than either of the other two types of degreaser. Compared to
operating practices, design and adjustment are major factors affecting emissions, the main source of which
is carry-out of vapor and liquid solvents.

5.2 SYNTHETIC AMMONIA
5.2.1 General
Frank Noonan
Anhydrous ammonia is synthesized by reacting hydrogen with nitrogen at a molar ratio of 3:1, then
compressing the gas and cooling it to — 33°C. Nitrogen is obtained from the air, while hydrogen is obtained
from either the catalytic steam reforming of natural gas (methane) or naphtha, or the electrolysis of brine at
chlorine plants. In the United States, about 98 percent of synthetic ammonia is produced by catalytic
steam reforming of natural gas (Figure 5.2-1).

The first, fourth, fifth and sixth steps are to remove impurities such as sulfur, CO, CO2and water from the
feedstock, hydrogen and synthesis gas streams. In the second step, hydrogen is manufactured, and in the
third step, additional hydrogen is manufactured and nitrogen is introduced into the process. The seventh
step produces anhydrous ammonia from the synthetic gas. While all ammonia plants use this basic process,
details such as pressures, temperatures and quantities of feedstock will vary from plant to plant.
5.2.2 Emissions
Pollutants from the manufacture of synthetic anhydrous ammonia are emitted from four process steps:
Regeneration of the desulfurization bed
Heating of the primary reformer
Regeneration of carbon dioxide scrubbing solution
Steam stripping of process condensate
More than 95 percent of the ammonia plants in the U. S. use activated carbon fortified with metallic oxide
additives for feedstock desulfurization. The desulfurization bed must be regenerated about once every
30 days for a 10 hour period. Vented regeneration steam contains sulfur oxides and/or hydrogen sulfide,
depending on the amount of oxygen in the steam. Regeneration also emits hydrocarbons and carbon
monoxide. The primaiy reformer, heated with natural gas or fuel oil, emits the combustion products
NOX, CO, SOX, HC and particulates.
Carbon dioxide is removed from the synthesis gas by scrubbing with monoethanolamine or hot potas-
sium carbonate solution. Regeneration of this CO2 scrubbing solution with steam produces emissions of
HC, NH.3, CO, CO2 and monoethanolamine.
Cooling the synthesis gas after low temperature shift conversion forms a condensate containing quanti-
ties of NH3, CO2, methanol and trace metals. Condensate steam strippers are used to remove NH3 and
methanol from the water, and steam from this is vented to the atmosphere, emitting NHg, CO;j arid
methanol.
Table 5.2-1 presents emission factors for the typical ammonia plant. Control devices are not used at
such plants, so the values in Table 5.2-1 represent uncontrolled emissions.
5.2.3 Controls
Add-on air pollution control devices are not used at synthetic ammonia plants, because their emissions
are below state standards. Some processes have been modified to reduce emissions and to improve utility
of raw materials and energy. Some plants are considering techniques to eliminate emissions from the
condensate steam stripper, one such being the injection of the overheads into the reformer stack along
with the combustion gases.

5.3 CARBON BLACK Audrey McBath
5.3.1 Process Description
Carbon black is produced by the reaction of a hydrocarbon fuel such as oil or gas with a limited supply
of combustion air at temperatures of 2400 to 2800°F (1320 to 1540°C). The unburned carbon is collected as
an extremely fine, black, fluffy particle, 10 to 500 nm diameter. The principal uses of carbon black are as a
reinforcing agent in rubber compounds (especially tires) and as a black pigment in printing inks, surface
coatings, paper and plastics. Two major processes are presently used in the United States to manufacture
carbon black—the oil furnace process and the thermal process. The oil furnace process accounts for about
90 percent of production, and the thermal about 10 percent. Two others, the lamp process for production of
lamp black and the cracking of acetylene to produce acetylene black, are each used at one plant in the U. S.
However, these are small volume specialty black operations which constitute less than 1 percent of total
production in this country. The gas furnace process is being phased out, and the last channel black plant in
the U. S. was closed in 1976.
5.3.1.1 Oil Furnace Process — In the oil furnace process (Figure 5.3-1 and Table 5.3-1), an aromatic liquid
hydrocarbon feedstock is preheated and injected continuously into the combustion zone of a natural gas
fired furnace, where it is decomposed to form carbon black. Primary quench water cools the gases to
1000°F (540°C) to stop the cracking. The exhaust gases entraining the carbon particles are further cooled
to about 450°F (230°C) by passage through heat exchangers and direct water sprays. The black is then
separated from the gas stream, usually by a fabric filter. A cyclone for primary collection and particle
agglomeration may precede the filter. A single collection system often serves several manifolded furnaces.
The recovered carbon black is finished to a marketable product by pulverizing and wet pelletizing to
increase bulk density. Water from the wet pelletizer is driven off in a gas fired rotary dryer. Oil or process
gas can be used. From 35 to 70 percent of the dryer combustion gas is charged directly to the interior of the
dryer, and the remainder acts as an indirect heat source for the dryer. The dried pellets are then conveyed
to bulk storage. Process yields range from 35 to 65 percent, depending on the feed composition and the
grade of black produced. Furnace designs and operating conditions determine the particle size and the
other physical and chemical properties of the black. Generally, yields are highest for large particle blacks
and lowest for small particle blacks.
5.3.1.2 Thermal Process — The thermal process is a cyclic operation in which natural gas is thermally de-
composed (cracked) into carbon particles, hydrogen and a mixture of other organics. Two furnaces are
used in normal operation. The first cracks natural gas and makes carbon black and hydrogen. The efflu-
ent gas from the first reactor is cooled by water sprays to about 250°F (125°C), and the black is collected
in a fabric filter. The filtered gas (90 percent hydrogen, 6 percent methane and 4 percent higher hydro-
carbons) is used as a fuel to heat a second reactor. When the first reactor becomes too cool to crack the
natural gas feed, the positions of the reactors are reversed, and the second reactor is used to crack the gas
while the first is heated. Normally, more than enough hydrogen is produced to make the thermal black
process self-sustaining, and the surplus hydrogen is used to fire boilers that supply process steam and elec-
tric power.
The collected thermal black is pulverized and pelletized to a final product in much the same manner as
is furnace black. Thermal process yields are generally high (35 to 60 percent), but the relatively coarse
particles produced, 180 to 470 nm, do not have the strong reinforcing properties required for rubber prod-
ucts.

5.3.2 Emissions and Controls
5.3.2.1 Oil Furnace Process — Emissions from carbon black manufacture include particulate matter,
carbon monoxide, organics, nitrogen oxides, sulfur compounds, polycyclic organic matter (POM) and trace
elements.
The principal source of emissions in the oil furnace process is the main process vent. The vent stream
consists of the reactor effluent and the quench water vapor vented from the carbon black recovery system.
Gaseous emissions may vary considerably, according to the grade of carbon black being produced. Organic
and CO emissions tend to be higher for small particle production, corresponding with the lower yields ob-
tained. Sulfur compound emissions are a function of the feed sulfur content. Tables 5.3-2 and 5.3-3 show
the normal emission ranges to be expected, with typical average values.
Particulates, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides are also emitted from the dryer vent. The oil feedstock
storage tanks are a source of organic emissions. Carbon black emissions also occur from the pneumatic
transport system vent, the plantwide vacuum cleanup system vent, and from cleaning, spills and leaks
(fugitive emissions).
Gaseous emissions from the main process vent may be controlled with CO boilers, incinerators or
flares. The pellet dryer combustion furnace, which is, in essence, a thermal incinerator, may also be
employed in a control system. CO boilers, thermal incinerators or combinations of these devices can
achieve essentially complete oxidation of organics and can oxidize sulfur compounds in the process flue
gas. Combustion efficiencies of 99.6 percent for hydrogen suJfide and 99.8 percent for carbon monoxide
have been measured for a flare on a carbon black plant. Particulate emissions may also be reduced by
combustion of some of the carbon black particles, but emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are
thereby increased.
5.3.2.2 Thermal Process - A comparison between the thermal and oil furnace processes reveals that
emissions from the former are less severe. Nitrogen oxides and particulates are emitted from the furnaces
during the heating part of the cycle. Particulate matter is emitted when carbon black deposited on the
furnace checkerbrick is released to the atmosphere in puffs, which occur when a furnace is switched from
carbon black production to the heating part of the cycle.
Emissions from the dryer vent, the pneumatic transport system vent, the vacuum cleanup system vent,
and fugitive sources are similar to those for the oil furnace process, since the operations which give rise to
these emissions in the two processes are similar. There is no emission point in the thermal process which
corresponds to the oil storage tank vents in the oil furnace process. Also in the thermal process, sulfur
compounds, POM, trace elements and organic compound emissions are minimal, because low sulfur
natural gas is used, and the process off-gas is burned as fuel.

The following linear interpolation formula can be used for
calculating emission factors for conversion efficiencies between 93
and 100 percent: emission factor (Ib/ton acid) =-13.65 (percent
conversion efficiency) + 1365.
In the dual absorption process, the 863 gas formed in the primary converter stages is sent to a primary
absorption tower where H^SC^ is formed. The remaining unconverted sulfur dioxide is forwarded to the final
stages in the converter, from whence it is sent to the secondary absorber for final sulfur trioxide removal. The
result is the conversion of a much higher fraction of SC>2 to 803 (a conversion of 99.7 percent or higher, on the
average, which meets the performance standard). Furthermore, dual absorption permits higher converter inlet
sulfur dioxide concentrations than are used in single absorption plants because the secondary conversion stages
effectively remove any residual sulfur dioxide from the primary absorber.
Where dual absorption reduces sulfur dioxide emissions by increasing the overall conversion efficiency, the
sodium sulfite-bisulfite scrubbing process removes sulfur dioxide directly from the absorber exit gases. In one
version of this process, the sulfur dioxide in the waste gas is absorbed in a sodium sulfite solution, separated, and
recycled to the plant. Test results from a 750 ton (680 MT) per day plant equipped with a sulfite scrubbing
system indicated an average emission factor of 2.7 pounds per ton (1 .35 kg/MT).
15.17.2.2 Acid Mist1"-* - Nearly all the acid rnist emitted from sulfuric acid manufacturing can be traced to the
absorber exit gases. Acid mist is created when sulfur trioxide combines with water vapor at a temperature below
the dew point of sulfur trioxide. Once formed within the process system, this mist is so stable that only a small
quantity can be removed in the absorber.
In general, the quantity and particle size distribution of acid mist are dependent on the type of sulfur
feedstock used, the strength of acid produced, and the conditions in the absorber. Because it contains virtually no
water vapor, bright elemental sulfur produces little acid mist when burned; however, the hydrocarbon impurities
in other feedstocks — dark sulfur, spent acid, and hydrogen sulfide — oxidize to water vapor during combustion.
The water vapor, in turn, combines with sulfur trioxide as the gas cools in the system.

EMISSION FACTORS
4/73
-------
The strength of acid produced—whether oleum or 99 percent sulfuric acid—also affects mist emissions. Oleum
plants produce greater quantities of finer, more stable mist. For example, uncontrolled mist emissions from
oleum plants burning spent acid range from 1.0 to 10.0 pounds per ton (0.5 to 5.0 kg/MT), while those from 98
percent acid plants burning elemental sulfur range from 0.4 to 4.0 pounds per ton (0.2 to 2.0 kg/MT).
Furthermore, 85 to 95 weight percent of the mist particles from oleum plants are less than 2 microns in diam-
eter, compared with only 30 weight percent that are less than 2 microns in diameter from 98 percent acid plants.
The operating temperature of the absorption column directly affects sulfur trioxide absorption and,
accordingly, the quality of acid mist formed after exit gases leave the stack. The optimum absorber operating
temperature is dependent on the strength of the acid produced, throughput rates, inlet sulfur trioxide
concentrations, and other variables peculiar to each individual plant. Finally, it should be emphasized that the
percentage conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide has no direct effect on acid mist emissions. In Table
5.17-2 uncontrolled acid mist emissions are presented for various sulfuric acid plants.
Two basic types of devices, electrostatic precipitators and fiber mist eliminators, effectively reduce the acid
mist concentration from contact plants to less than the EPA new-source performance standard, which is 0.15
pound per ton (0.075 kg/MT) of acid. Precipitators, if properly maintained, are effective in collecting the mist
particles at efficiencies up to 99 percent (see Table 5.17-3).
The three most commonly used fiber mist eliminators are the vertical tube, vertical panel, and horizontal
dual-pad types. They differ from one another in the arrangement of the fiber elements, which are composed of
either chemically resistant glass or fluorocarbon, and in the means employed to collect the trapped liquid. The
operating characteristics of these three types are compared with electrostatic precipitators in Table 5.17-3.

5.22 LEAD ALKYL
5.22.1 Process Description1
by Jake Summers, EPA,
and Pacific Environmental Services
Two alkyl lead compounds, tetraethyl lead (TEL) and tetramethyl lead (TML), are used as antiknock
gasoline additives. Over 75 percent of the 1973 additive production was TEL, more than 90 percent of
which was made by alkylation of sodium/lead alloy.
Lead alkyl is produced in autoclaves by the reaction of sodium/lead alloy with an excess of either ethyl
(for TEL) or methyl (for TML) chloride in the presence of acetone catalyst. The reaction mass is distilled
to separate the product, which is then purified, filtered and mixed with chloride/bromide additives.
Residue is sluiced to a sludge pit, from which the bottoms are sent to an indirect steam dryer, and the
dried sludge is fed to a reverberatory furnace to recover lead.
Gasoline additives are also manufactured by the electrolytic process, in which a solution of ethyl (or
methyl) magnesium chloride and ethyl (or methyl) chloride is electrolyzed, with lead metal as the anode.
5.22.2 Emissions and Controls1
Lead emissions from the sodium/lead alloy process consist of paniculate lead oxide from the recovery
furnace (and, to a lesser extent, from the melting furnace and alloy reactor), alkyl lead vapor from process
vents, and fugitive emissions from the sludge pit.
Emissions from the lead recovery furnace are controlled by fabric filters or wet scrubbers. Vapor
streams rich in lead alkyl can either be incinerated and passed through a fabric filter or be scrubbed with
water prior to incinerating.
Emissions from electrolytic process vents are controlled by using an elevated flare and a liquid in-
cinerator, while a scrubber with toluene as the scrubbing medium controls emissions from the blending
and tank car loading/unloading systems.

6.13 BREAD BAKING Tom Lahre
6.13.1 General1'2
Bakery products generally can be divided into two groups—products leavened by yeast and products
chemically leavened by baking powder. Other than yeast bread, which comprises the largest fraction of
all yeast leavened baking production, leavened products include sweet rolls, crackers, pretzels, etc.
Examples of chemically leavened baking products are cakes, cookies, cake doughnuts, corn bread and
baking powder biscuits.
Bread is generally produced by either the straight-dough process or the sponge-dough process. In the
straight-dough process, the ingredients are mixed, allowed to ferment, and then baked. In the sponge-
dough process, only part of the ingredients are initially mixed and allowed to ferment, with the remainder
added to the mix and fermented just prior to baking. The sponge-dough process is more often used by
commercial bakeries.
In a commercial bakery, bread dough is fermented from two to four hours prior to baking at about
450T (232°C). The temperature inside the bread does not exceed 212T (100°C). The ovens used are pre-
dominately direct fired by natural gas. In such ovens, any vapors driven off the bread and any combustion
product gases are removed through the same exhaust vent.
6.13.2 Emissions1'2
In the leavening process, yeast metabolizes the sugars and starches in the bread dough. During this
fermentation stage, various chemical reactions take place, with the end products being primarily carbon
dioxide (COj) and ethanol (C2H5OH). The carbon dioxide is necessary to leaven the dough, thereby in-
creasing its volume. The byproduct ethanol, however, evaporates and leaves the dough. The rate of ethanol
production depends on dough temperature, quantity of sweetner and type of yeast.
Laboratory experiments1 and theoretical estimates2 suggest that ethanol emissions from the sponge-
dough process may range from 5 to 8 pounds per 1000 pounds of bread produced, whereas ethanol
emissions from the straight-dough process are only 0.5 pounds per 1000 pounds produced. These factors
include ethanol evaporation from all phases of bread production, although most of the emissions occur
during baking. Negligible quantities of ethanol remain in the bread following baking. Several other non-
methane volatile organic compounds are also emitted from bread production, but in much smaller amounts.
The reader should consult References 1 and 2 for detail on how these emission factors are derived.
No controls or process modifications are employed to reduce ethanol emissions from bakeries. Some
fraction of the ethanol emitted during baking could potentially be destroyed in the direct fired gas ovens,
but since the ethanol does not come into contact with the flame zone, this fraction is thought to be in-
significant.

6.14 UREA Frank Noonan
6.14.1 General1
Urea (CO[NH2]2) is produced by reacting ammonia and carbon dioxide to form ammonium carbamate
(NH2CO2NH4), which is then dehydrated to form urea. There are over fifteen production methods which
can carry out these reactions. While the basics of the processes are the same, variations occur in vessel
design, operating conditions, and type and quantity of recycle of unreacted material. The aqueous solu-
tion produced by these processes contains approximately 70 percent urea, and the solution may be sold as is
or in solid form.
In the solidification procedure, urea solution is first concentrated in crystallizer or evaporator and
then solidified. If in a crystallizer, the crystals are melted and then formed into a solid. If an evaporator
is used, it produces a concentrate which is then solidified. In either case, solid urea is formed by prilling
or granulation. Additional granular strength and packing resistance are obtained by two methods. In the
first, used by about 50 percent of the plants and involving about 9 percent of all solid urea produced,
formaldehyde or a phosphate based additive is injected into the fluid material before solid formation.
In the second, the sized solid particles are coated with a clay substance. The finished product is usually
stored in bulk, shipped in railroad hoppers or trucks, or bagged in 20.4 kg or 36.3 kg sacks. In addition,
some urea solution may be transported by pipeline, and some solid by river barge.
Figure 6.14-1 is a flow diagram of the solid urea production process.
6.14.2 Emissions1
Emissions from urea manufacture consist of ammonia and particles of solid urea. In solution production,
they issue from the bulk loading of the product, and in solid production, they come from the evaporator,
prilling tower, granulator, product finishing, bagging and loading, and bulk loading points. The prilling
tower and granulator are both emission points, but are alternate, not sequential, steps in the process.
6.14.3 Controls1
Applied control technology for the urea industry varies from plant to plant. In the concentration section,
emissions are controlled by condensing the evaporator overheads and sewering or selling the product,
or by passing the stream through a scrubber. In the solid formation section, control technology depends
on the formation process used. In granulation processes, scrubbers are used to control emissions and to
recover entrained product. In prilling processes, about 50 percent of the industry uses some form of
packed scrubber for control. The others exhaust emissions to the atmosphere. Further technology has not
been widely proven. At least six companies are currently trying to develop or to test technology which will
reduce prilling tower emissions effectively.

6.15 BEEF CATTLE FEEDLOTS Tom Lahre
6.15.1 General1
A beef cattle feedlot is an area in which beef animals are confined for fattening prior to marketing.
This fattening, or finish feeding, typically lasts four to five months, during which time the cattle are fed
a high energy ration of feed grains and/or forage.
Cattle feedlots range in capacity from several head up to 100,000 cattle. Of the 146,000 beef cattle feed-
lots in the U.S. in 1973, 2,040 feedlots had a capacity of more than 1,000 head, marketing 65 percent of all
finish fed beef cattle. Animal density in feedlots is generally in the range of 12,500 to 125,000 head/km2.
During its stay in a feedlot, a beef animal will produce over 450 kg of manure (dry weight). Wet manure
production is typically about 27 kg per day per head, usually deposited on less than 20 m2 of surface.
Because of the prodigious quantity of manure produced in a feedlot, periodic removal is necessary to
prevent unacceptable accumulations. Most cattle manure is applied to nearby land as fertilizer for feed
grain production, while some is lagooned, dumped on wastelands, or disposed of through incineration,
liming, or pitting. Manure removal frequencies are dictated in part by climatic conditions, animal comfort,
labor scheduling, and air and water pollution control potentials. Typically, manure removal is conducted
from one to three times per year. When disposal is not immediately possible after removal, the manure may
be stockpiled on a nearby open site.
The leading states in the industry are Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, California, and
Illinois. These states contribute 75 percent of all feed cattle marketed and contain 72 percent of the feedlots
greater than 1000 head capacity. Feedlots are generally located in low population density regions with
access to major transportation routes.
6.15.2 Emissions and Controls1
Air pollution from feedlots originates from several points in a feedlot operation, including the holding
pens, runoff holding ponds, and alleyways among pens. Major pollutants of concern include fugitive par-
ticulate, ammonia and various malodorous gases.
Fugitive particulate is generated several ways. Cattle movement within the holding pens is a primary
source. Dust is also generated by wind acting on the dried surfaces and by vehicular traffic on alleyways
among the pens. Fugitive particulate emissions from feedlots are composed largely of soil dust and dried
manure. The potential for dust generation is greatly increased during prolonged dry periods (e.g., from late
spring to midsummer in the Southwest), and when a loose, dry pad of soil and manure is allowed to build
up in the pens.
Ammonia is the predominant gaseous pollutant emitted from feedlots. Ammonia is a result of anaerobic
decomposition of feedlot surfaces as well as volatilization from urine. Ammonia emissions are generally
increased when conditions favor anaerobic decay. For example, although 25 to 40 percent moisture levels
are necessary on feedlot surfaces for aerobic decomposition (which is odorless), too much rain or
watering, resulting in puddling and wet spots, can trigger increased ammonia production. Ammonia forma-
tion may also occur when anaerobic conditions exist in the manure stockpiles and runoff holding ponds.
In general, higher ammonia emissions are associated with higher temperatures and humidity, overly wet
conditions, and feedlot disturbances such as mounding or manure removal.
A number of extremely odorous compounds (amines, sulfides, mercaptans) may also result from
anaerobic decomposition of solid manure beneath the feedlot surface as well as in the runoff holding ponds.
7/79 Food and Agricultural Industry 6.15-1
-------
Generally, the same conditions that favor ammonia production will enhance the evolution of these other
gases, as well.
No air pollutant control devices are applied to feedlots because of the fugitive nature of the emissions.
The most effective controls involve various housekeeping measures designed to eliminate conditions that
favor the generation of dust and odors. For example, measures that help to maintain sufficient moisture
levels in the feedlot surface areas and manure stockpiles will reduce the generation of dust. One of the most
effective dust control techniques is periodic application of water to the dry feedlot surface, by either per-
manent sprinkling systems or mobile tank trucks. However, care must be taken to avoid overwatering,
which can cause wet spots conducive to anaerobic decay and subsequent malodors. Increasing the cattle
density in the pens may also help maintain high enough moisture levels to limit particulate generation.
In addition, some dust control is effected by minimizing the accumulation of dry and pulverized manure on
the surfaces of the feedlots. A maximum depth of 2 to 8 cm of loose, dry manure is recommended for
increasing the effectiveness of dust control procedures.
Odor and ammonia control are best effected by housekeeping measures that enhance aerobic rather
than anaerobic decomposition of the cattle wastes. For example, besides reducing dust emissions,
sprinkling provides moisture for aerobic biodegradation of the manure. Good drainage must be provided,
however, and overwatering must be avoided. Deep accumulations of manure of slurry consistency can
optimize anaerobic conditions. Hence, feedlot surfaces should be periodically scraped to remove such
accumulations. Scraping should be done carefully, so that only the surface layer is disturbed. Manure
stockpiles should not be allowed to get too large, too wet, or encrusted, and they should be disposed of
within four or five days. If the stockpiles are composted, the manure should be piled in long narrow win-
drows to allow access for turning the piles to promote aerobic conditions and to enable rapid control of
spontaneous combustion fires. Anaerobic conditions can be reduced in runoff holding ponds by removing
solids from the runoff, by adding more water to the ponds to dilute the nutrient content, and by aeration
of the surface. Runoff water also may be treated chemically to suppress the release of malodorous gases.
Emission factors for feedlot operations are shown in Table 6.15-1. These factors should be considered
at best to be crude estimates of potential emissions from feedlots where no measures are employed to
control dust or odors. The limitations of these factors are more fully discussed in the footnote to Table
6.15-1. The reader should consult Reference 1 for a detailed discussion of the emissions and control
information available on beef cattle feedlots.

6.16 DEFOLIATION AND HARVESTING OF COTTON Rob McConnell
6.16.1 General
Wherever it is grown in the U.S., cotton is defoliated or disiccated prior to harvest. Defoliants are used
on the taller varieties of cotton which are machine picked for lint and seed cotton, while desiccants usually
are used on short, stormproof cotton varieties of lower yield that are harvested by mechanical stripper
equipment. More than 99 percent of the national cotton area is harvested mechanically. The two principal
harvest methods are machine picking, with 70 percent of the harvest from 61 percent of the area, and
machine stripping, with 29 percent of the harvest from 39 percent of the area. Picking is practiced through-
out the cotton regions of the U.S., while stripping is limited chiefly to the dry plains of Texas and Oklahoma.
Defoliation may be defined as the process by which leaves are abscised from the plant. The process may
be initiated by drought stress, low temperatures or disease, or it may be chemically induced by topically
applied defoliant agents or by overfertilization. The process helps lodged plants to return to an erect posi-
tion, removes the leaves which can clog the spindles of the picking machine and strain the fiber, accelerates
the opening of mature bolls, and reduces boll rots. Desiccation by chemicals is the drying or rapid killing
of the leaf blades and petioles, with the leaves remaining in a withered state on the plant. Harvest-aid
chemicals are applied to cotton as water-based spray, either by aircraft or by a. ground machine.
Mechanical cotton pickers, as the name implies, pick locks of seed cotton from open cotton bolls and
leave the empty burs and unopened bolls on the plant. Requiring only one operator, typical modern pickers
are self propelled and can simultaneously harvest two rows of cotton at a speed of 1.1 to 1.6 meters per
second (2.5 - 3.6 mph). When the picker basket gets filled with seed cotton, the machine is driven to a
cotton trailer at the edge of the field. As the basket is hydraulically raised and tilted, the top swings open,
allowing the cotton to fall into the trailer. When the trailer is full, it is pulled from the field, usually by pick-
up truck, and taken to a cotton gin.
Mechanical cotton strippers remove open and unopened bolls, along with burs, leaves and stems from
cotton plants, leaving only bare branches. Tractor-mounted, tractor-pulled or self propelled, strippers
require only one operator. They harvest from one to four rows of cotton at speeds of 1.8 to 2.7 m/s (4.0 -
6.0 mph). After the cotton is stripped, it enters a conveying system that carries it from the stripping unit to
an elevator. Most conveyers utilize either augers or a series of rotating spike-toothed cylinders to move the
cotton, accomplishing some cleaning by moving the cotton over perforated, slotted or wire mesh screen.
Dry plant material (burs, stems and leaves) is crushed and dropped through openings to the ground. Blown
air is sometimes used to assist cleaning.
6.16.2 Emissions and Controls
Emission factors for the drifting of major chemicals applied to cotton are compiled from literature and
reported in Reference 1. In addition, drift losses from arsenic acid spraying were developed by field
testing. Two off-target collection stations, with six air samplers each, were located downwind from the
ground spraying operations. The measured concentration was applied to an infinite line source atmosphere
diffusion model (in reverse) to calculate the drift emission rate. This was in turn used for the final emission
factor calculation. The emissions occur from July to October, preceding by two weeks the period of harvest
in each cotton producing region. The drift emission factor for arsenic acid is eight times lower than pre-
viously estimated, since Reference 1 used a ground rig rather than an airplane, and because of the low vola-
tility of arsenic acid. Various methods of controlling drop size, proper timing of application, and modifica-
tion of equipment are practices which can reduce drift hazards. Fluid additives have been used that in-
crease the viscosity of the spray formulation, and thus decrease the number of fine droplets (<100 /urn).

Spray nozzle design and orientation also control the droplet size spectrum. Drift emission factors for the

Three unit operations are involved in mechanical harvesting of cotton: harvesting, trailer loading (basket
dumping) and transport of trailers in the field. Emissions from these operations are in the form of sob'd
particulates. Paniculate emissions (<7 /am mean aerodynamic diameter) from these operations were de-
veloped in Reference 2. The particulates are composed mainly of raw cotton dust and solid dust, which
contains free silica. Minor emissions include small quantities of pesticide, defoliant and desiccant residues
that are present in the emitted particulates. Dust concentrations from harvesting were measured by
following each harvesting machine through the field at a constant distance directly downwind from the
machine, while staying in the visible plume centerline. The procedure for trailer loading was the same.
but since the trailer is stationary while being loaded, it was necessary only to stand a fixed distance
directly downwind from the trailer while the plume or puff passed over. Readings were taken upwind of all
field activity to get background concentrations. Particulate emission factors for the principal types of
cotton harvesting operations in the U.S. are shown in Table 6.16-2. The factors are based on average
machine speed of 1.34 m/s (3.0 mph) for pickers and 2.25 m/s (5.03 rnph) for strippers, on a basket capacity
of 109 kg (240 Ib), on a trailer capacity of 6 baskets, on a lint cotton yield of 63.0 metric tons/km2 (1.17 bale/
acre) for pickers and 41.2 metric tons/km2 (.77 bale/acre) for strippers, and on a transport speed of 4.47 m/s
(10.0 mph). Analysis of paniculate samples showed average free silica content of 7.9 percent for mechan-
ical cotton picking and 2.3 percent for mechanical cotton stripping. Estimated maximum percentages for
pesticides, defoliants and desiccants from harvesting are also noted in Table 6.16-2. No current cotton
harvesting equipment or practices provide for control of emissions. In fact, equipment design and operat-
ing practices tend to maximize emissions. Preharvest treatment (defoliation and desiccation) and harvest
practices are timed to minimize moisture and trash content, so they also tend to maximize emissions. Soil
dust emissions from field transport can be reduced by lowering vehicle speed.

and L. K. Felleisen
7.5.1 General1
Iron and steel manufacturing processes may be grouped into five distinct sequential operations: (1) coke
production; (2) pig iron manufacture in blast furnaces; (3) steel-making processes using basic oxygen, electric arc,
and open hearth furnaces; (4) rolling mill operations; and (5) finishing operations (see Figure 7.5-1). The first
three of these operations encompass nearly all of the air pollution sources. Coke production is discussed in detail
elsewhere in this publication.
7.5.1.1 Pig Iron Manufacture2-3-Pig iron is produced in blast furnaces, which are large refractory-lined chambers
into which iron ore, coke, and limestone are charged and allowed to react with large amounts of hot air to
produce molten iron. Slag and blast furnace gases are by-products of this operation. The production of 1 unit
weight of pig iron requires an average charge of 1.55 unit weights of iron-bearing charge, 0.55 unit weight of
coke, 0.20 unit weight of limestone, and 2.3 unit weight of air. Blast furnace by-products consist of 0.2 unit
weight of slag, 0.02 unit weight of flue dust, and 2.5 unit weights of gas per unit of pig iron produced. Most of
the coke used in the process is produced in by-product coke ovens. The flue dust and other iron ore fines from
the process are converted into useful blast furnace charge via sintering operations.
Blast furnace combustion gas and the gases that escape from bleeder openings constitute the major sources of
particulate emissions. The dust in the gas consists of 35 to 50 percent iron, 4 to 14 percent carbon, 8 to 13
percent silicon dioxide, and small amounts of aluminum oxide, manganese oxide, calcium oxide, and other
materials. Because of its high carbon monoxide content, this gas has a low heating value (about 100 Btu/ft) and is
utilized as a fuel within the steel plant. Before it can be efficiently oxidized, however, the gas must be cleaned of
particulates. Initially, the gases pass through a settling chamber or dry cyclone, where about 60 percent of the
dust is removed. Next, the gases undergo a one- or two-stage cleaning operation. The primary cleaner is normally
a wet scrubber, which removes about 90 percent of the remaining particulates. The secondary cleaner is a
high-energy wet scrubber (usually a venturi) or an electrostatic precipitator, either of which can remove up to 90
percent of the particulates that have passed through the primary cleaner. Taken together, these control devices
provide an overall dust removal efficiency of approximately 96 percent.
All of the carbon monoxide generated in the gas is normally used for fuel. Conditions such as "slips," however,
can cause instantaneous emissions of carbon monoxide. Improvements in techniques for handling blast furnace
burden have greatly reduced the occurrence of slips. In Table 7.5-1 particulate and carbon monoxide emission
factors are presented for blast furnaces.

7.6 PRIMARY LEAD SMELTING Revised by William M. Vatavuk
7.6.1 Process Description i-3
Lead is usually found in nature as a sulfide ore containing small amounts of copper, iron, zinc, and other trace
elements. It is normally concentrated at the mine from an ore of 3 to 8 percent lead to an ore concentrate of 55
to 70 percent lead, containing from 13 to 19 percent free and uncombined sulfur by weight.
Normal practice for the production of lead metal from this concentrate involves the following operations
(see Figure 7.6-1):
1. Sintering, in which the concentrate lead and sulfur are oxidized to produce lead oxide arid sulfur dioxide.
(Simultaneously, the charge material, comprised of concentrates, recycle sinter, sand, and other inert materials,
is agglomerated to form a dense, permeable material called sinter.)
2. Reducing the lead oxide contained in the sinter to produce molten lead bullion.
3. Refining the lead bullion to eliminate any impurities.
Sinter is produced by means of a sinter machine, a continuous steel-pallet conveyor belt moved by gears and
sprockets. Each pallet consists of perforated or slotted grates, beneath which are situated windboxes connected
to fans that provide a draft on the moving sinter charge. Depending on the direction of this draft, the sinter ma-
chine is either of the updraft or downdraft type. Except for the draft direction, however, all machines are simi-
lar in design, construction, and operation.
The sintering reaction is autogenous and occurs at a temperature of approximately 1000°C:
2 PbS + 3 02 -> 2 PbO + 2 SO2 ^
Operating experience has shown that system operation and product quality are optimum when the sulfur content
of the sinter charge is between 5 and 7 percent by weight. To maintain this desired sulfur content, sulfide-free
fluxes such as silica and limestone, plus large amounts of recycled sinter and smelter residues are added to the
mix. The quality of the product sinter is usually determined by its hardness (Ritter Index), which is inversely
proportional to the sulfur content. Hard quality sinter (low sulfur content) is preferred because it resists crushing
during discharge from the sinter machine. Conversely, undersized sinter will usually result from insufficient de-
sulfurization and is recycled for further processing.
Of the two kinds of sintering machines used, the updraft design is superior for many reasons. First, the sinter
bed height is more permeable (and, hence, can be greater) with an updraft machine, thereby permitting a higher
production rate than that of a downdraft machine of similar dimensions. Secondly, the small amounts of ele-
mental lead that form during sintering will solidify at their point of formation with updraft machines; whereas, in
downdraft operation, the metal tends to flow downward and collect on the grates or at the bottom of the sinter
charge, thus causing increased pressure drop and attendant reduced blower capacity. In addition, the updraft
system exhibits the capability of producing sinter of higher lead content and requires less maintenance than the
downdraft machine. Finally, and most important from an air pollution control standpoint, updraft sintering
can produce a single strong SO2 effluent stream from the operation, by use of weak gas recirculation. This, in
turn, permits the more efficient and economical use of such control methods as sulfuric acid recovery plants.
Lead reduction is carried out in a blast furnace, basically a water-jacketed shaft furnace supported by a re-
fractory base. Tuyeres, through which combustion air is admitted under pressure, are located near the bottom
and are evenly spaced on either side of the furnace.
The furnace is charged with a mixture of sinter (80 to 90 percent of charge), metallurgical coke (8 to 14 per-
cent of the charge), and other materials, such as limestone, silica, litharge, slag-forming constituents, and various
recycled and clean-up materials. In the furnace the sinter is reduced to lead bullion; most of the impurities are

7.10.1 Process Description!
Three types of furnaces are used to produce gray iron castings: cupolas, reverberatory furnaces, and electric
induction furnaces. The cupola is the major source of molten iron for the production of castings. In operation, a
bed of coke is placed over the sand bottom in the cupola. After the bed of coke has begun to burn properly,
alternate layers of coke, flux, and metal are charged into the cupola. Combustion air is forced into the cupola,
causing the coke to burn and melt the iron. The molten iron flows out through a taphole.
Electric furnaces are commonly used where special alloys are to be made. Pig iron and scrap iron are charged
to the furnace and melted, and alloying elements and fluxes are added at specific intervals. Induction furnaces are
used where high-quality, clean metal is available for charging.
7.10.2 Emissions1
Emissions from cupola furnaces include gases, dust, fumes, and smoke and oil vapors. Dust arises from dirt on
the metal charge and from fines in the coke and limestone charge. Smoke and oil vapor arise primarily from the
partial combustion and distillation of oil from greasy scrap charged to the furnace. Also, the effluent from the
cupola furnace has a high carbon monoxide content that can be controlled by an afterburner. Emissions from
reverberatory and electric induction furnaces consist primarily of metallurgical fumes and are relatively low.
Table 7.10-1 presents emission factors for the manufacture of iron castings.

7.15 STORAGE BATTERY PRODUCTION by Jake Summers, EPA and
Pacific Environmental Services
7.15.1 Process Description
Lead/acid storage batteries are produced from lead alloy ingots and lead oxide. The latter may or may not
be manufactured at the same plant (Section 7.16).
Molten lead is pumped or flows directly from pot furnaces into the molds that form the battery grids.
Batches of lead sulfate paste are blended by mixing lead oxide, water, sulfuric acid, an organic expander
and other constituents. Pasting machines force the stiff mixture into the interstices of the grids (which
are thereafter referred to as plates).
The plates are cured and stacked in an alternating positive and negative block formation, with insulators
between them. They are then fastened together either by a burning operation (welding leads to the tabs of
each pair of positive and negative plates) or by a "cast on strip" process (in which molten lead is poured
around and between the plate tabs). Positive and negative terminals are then welded to each element,
which can go to either the wet or dry battery assembly line. Pot furnaces are used for reclaiming defective
lead parts.
7.15.2 Emissions and Controls1
Grid casting furnaces and machines, paste mixers, plate dryers, reclaim furnaces and parts casting
machines can be controlled by low- to medium-energy impingement and entrainment scrubbers. "Three
process" (element stacking, lead burning and battery casting) emissions can be controlled by pulse jet
fabric filters. Waste material caught in control systems is recycled to recover the lead.

7.16 LEAD OXIDE AND PIGMENT
PRODUCTION
7.16.1 General
by Jake Summers, EPA, and
Pacific Environmental Services
Lead oxide is used in the manufacture of lead/acid storage batteries (Section 7.15) and as a pigment in
paints. Black oxide, which is used exclusively in storage batteries, contains 60 to 80 percent litharge (PbO)
the remainder being finely divided metallic lead. * The major lead pigment is red lead (Pb3O4), which is used
principally in ferrous metal protective paints. Other lead pigments include white lead and lead chromates.
Most lead oxides and many lead pigments are derived from lead monoxide (PbO) in the form of litharge,
which is produced by (1) partially oxidizing lead and milling it into a powder, which is then completely oxi-
dized in a reverberatory furnace; (2) oxidizing and stirring pig lead in a reverberatory furnace or rotary kiln;
(3) running molten lead into a cupelling furnace; or (4) atomizing molten lead in a flame. The product must
be cooled quickly to below 300°C (572°F) to avoid formation of red lead.2
Black oxide is usually produced (in the same furnace in which the litharge is made) by either the ball
mill or Barton process. Cyclones and fabric filters collect the product. Red lead is produced by oxidizing
litharge in a reverberatory furnace. Basic carbonate white lead production is based on the reaction of
litharge with acetic acid or acetate ions. White leads other than carbonates are made either by chemical
or fuming processes. Chromate pigments are generally manufactured by precipitation or calcination.
7.16.2 Emissions and Controls
Automatic shaker type fabric filters, often preceded by cyclone mechanical collectors or settling cham-
bers, are the almost universal choice for collecting lead oxides and pigments. Where fabric filters are not
appropriate, scrubbers are used, resulting in higher emissions. The ball mill and Barton processes of black
oxide manufacturing recover the lead product by these two means. Collection of dust and fumes from the
production of red lead is likewise an economic necessity, since particulate emissions, although small, are
about 90 percent lead. Data on emissions from the production of white lead pigments are not available, but
they have been estimated because of health and safety regulations. The emissions from dryer exhaust
scrubbers account for over 50 percent of the total lead emitted in lead chromate production.

7.17 MISCELLANEOUS LEAD PRODUCTS by Jake Summers, EPA, and
Pacific Environmental Services
7.17.1 Type Metal Production
7.17.1.1 General - Lead type, used primarily in the letterpress segment of the printing industry, is cast
from a molten lead alloy and remelted after use. Linotype and monotype processes produce a mold, while
the stereotype process produces a plate for printing. All type metal is an alloy consisting of 60 to 85 percent
recovered lead, with antimony, tin and a small amount of virgin metal.
7.17.1.2 Emissions and Controls — The melting pot is the major source of emissions, containing hydro-
carbons as well as lead particulates. Pouring the molten metal into the molds involves surface oxidation of
the metal, possibly producing oxidized fumes, while the trimming and finishing operations emit lead par-
ticles. It is estimated that 35 percent of the total emitted particulate is lead.1
Approximately half of the current lead type operations control lead emissions, by about 80 percent. The
other operations are uncontrolled.2 The most frequently controlled sources are the main melting pots and
dressing areas. Linotype equipment does not require controls when operated properly. Devices in current
use on monotype and stereotype lines include rotoclones, wet scrubbers, fabric filters, and electrostatic
precipitators, all which can be used in various combinations.
7.17.2 Can Soldering
7.17.2.1 Process Description — Side seams of cans are soldered on a machine consisting of a solder-
coated roll operating in a bath of molten solder, typically containing 98 percent lead. After soldering, excess
is wiped away by a rotating cloth buffer, which creates some dust (Table 7.17-1).3
7.17.2.2 Emissions and Controls — Hoods, exhaust ducts and mechanical cyclones (Table 7.17-2) collect
the large flakes generated at the wiping station, but some dust escapes in the form of particles 20 microns or
smaller, with a lead content of 3 to 38 percent. Maintaining a good flux cover is the most effective means
of controlling lead emissions from the solder batch. Low energy wet collectors or fabric filters can also con-
trol lead emissions from can soldering.
7.17.3 Cable Covering
7.17.3.1 Process Description — About 90 percent of the lead caLle covering produced in the United States
is lead cured jacketed cables, and 10 percent is on lead sheathed cables. In preparation of the former type,
an unalloyed lead cover applied in the vulcanizing treatment during the manufacture of rubber-insulated
cable must be stripped from the cable and remelted.
Lead coverings are applied to insulated cable by hydraulic extrusion of solid lead around the cable.
Molten lead is continuously fed into an extruder or screw press, where it solidifies as it progresses. A melt-
ing kettle supplies lead to the press.
7.17.3.2 Emissions and Controls — The melting kettle is the only source of atmospheric lead emissions,
and it is generally uncontrolled.4 Average particle size is approximately 5 microns, with a lead content of
about 70 to 80 percent.3'5
Cable covering processes do not usually include particulate collection devices, although fabric filters,
rotoclone wet collectors and dry cyclone collectors can reduce lead emissions (Table 7.17-2). Lowering and
controlling the melt temperature, enclosing the melting unit and using fluxes to provide a cover on the melt
can also minimize emissions.

7.17.4 Metallic Lead Products
7.17.4.1 General — Lead is consumed and emitted in the manufacture of ammunition, bearing metals
and other lead products. Lead used in the manufacture of ammunition is melted and alloyed before it is
cast, sheared, extruded, swaged or mechanically worked. Some lead is also reacted to form lead azide, a
detonating agent. Lead is used in bearing manufacture by alloying it with copper, bronze, antimony and tin.
Other lead products include terne metal (a plating alloy), weights and ballasts, caulking lead, plumbing
supplies, roofing materials, casting metal foil, collapsible metal tubes and sheet lead. Lead is also used for
galvanizing, annealing and plating. It is usually melted and cast prior to mechanical forming operations.
7.17.4.2 Emissions and Controls — Little or no air pollution control equipment is currently used by manu-
facturers of metallic lead products.6 Emissions from bearing manufacture are negligible, even without
controls.3

7.18 LEADBEARING ORE CRUSHING by Jake Summers, EPA,
AND GRINDING and Pacific Environmental Services
7.18.1 Process Description
Lead and zinc ores are normally deep mined, whereas copper ores are open pit mined. Lead, zinc and
copper are usually found together (in varying percentages) in combination with sulfur and/or oxygen.
In underground mines, the ore is disintegrated by percussive drilling machines, run through a primary
crusher, and then conveyed to the surface. In open pit mines, ore and gangue are loosened and pulverized
by explosives, scooped up by mechanical equipment, and transported to the concentrator.
Standard crushers, screens, and rod and ball mills classify and reduce the ore to powders in the 65 to 325
mesh range. The finely divided particles are separated from the gangue and are concentrated in a liquid
medium by gravity and/or selective flotation, then cleaned, thickened and filtered. The concentrate is dried
prior to shipment to the smelter.
7.18.2 Emissions and Controls
Lead emissions are basically fugitive, caused by drilling, blasting, loading, conveying, screening,
unloading, crushing and grinding. The primary means of control are good mining techniques and equip-
ment maintenance. These practices include enclosing the truck loading operation, wetting or covering
truck loads and stored concentrates, paving the road from mine to concentrator, sprinkling the unloading
area, and preventing leaks in the crushing and griding enclosures. Cyclones and fabric filters can be used
in the milling operations.
Paniculate and sulfur dioxide emission factors for lead ore crushing and materials handling operations
are given in Table 7.18-1. Lead emissions from the mining and milling of copper ores are negligible.

Potential sources of fugitive particulate emissions from concrete batching are shown in Table 8.10-2,
along with the corresponding emission factors.
Particle size characteristics of the dust vary according to the grade of cement. A range of 10 to 20 percent
by weight less than 5 /Am is typical for the various grades of cement. The dust generated from dry con-
crete batching plants has characteristics similar to those of the cement dust discussed for wet concrete
batching plants.

10. WOOD PRODUCTS INDUSTRY
Wood processing involves the conversion of raw wood to either pulp, pulpboard, or one of several types of
wallboard including plywood, particleboard, or hardboard. This section presents emissions data for chemical
wood pulping, for pulpboard and plywood manufacturing, and for woodworking operations. The burning of wqod^
waste in boilers and conical burners is not included as it is discussed in Chapters 1 and 2 of this publication.
10.1 CHEMICAL WOOD PULPING Revised by Thomas Lahre
10.1.1 General 1
Chemical wood pulping involves the extraction of cellulose from wood by dissolving the lignin that binds the
cellulose fibers together. The principal processes used in chemical pulping are the kraft, sulfite, neutral sulfite
semichemical (NSSC), dissolving, and soda; the first three of these display the greatest potential for causing air
pollution. The kraft process accounts for about 65 percent of all pulp produced in the United States; the sulfite
and NSSC processes, together, account for less than 20 percent of the total. The choice of pulping process is de-
termined by the product being made, by the type of wood species available, and by economic considerations.
10.1.2 Kraft Pulping
10.1.2.1 Process Description!.2—The kraft process (see Figure 10.1.2-1) involves the cooking of wood chips
under pressure in the presence of a cooking liquor in either a batch or a continuous digester. The cooking liquor,
or "white liquor," consisting of an aqueous solution of sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide, dissolves the lignin
that binds the cellulose fibers together.
When cooking is completed, the contents of the digester are forced into the blow tank. Here the major portion
of the spent cooking liquor, which contains the dissolved lignin, is drained, and the pulp enters the initial stage of
washing. From the blow tank the pulp passes through the knotter where unreacted chunks of wood are removed.
The pulp is then washed and, in some mills, bleached before being pressed and dried into the finished product.
It is economically necessary to recover both the inorganic cooking chemicals and the heat content of the spent
"black liquor," which is separated from the cooked pulp. Recovery is accomplished by first concentrating the
liquor to a level that will support combustion and then feeding it to a furnace where burning and chemical recovery
take place.
Initial concentration of the weak black liquor, which contains about 15 percent solids, occurs in the multiple-
effect evaporator. Here process steam is passed countercurrent to the liquor in a series of evaporator tubes that
increase the solids content to 40 to 55 percent. Further concentration is then effected in the direct contact
evaporator. This is generally a scrubbing device (a cyclonic or venturi scrubber or a cascade evaporator) in which
hot combustion gases from the recovery furnace mix with the incoming black liquor to raise its solids content to
55 to 70 percent.
The black liquor concentrate is then sprayed into the recovery furnace where the organic content supports
combustion. The inorganic compounds fall to the bottom of the furnace and are discharged to the smelt dissolving
tank to form a solution called "green liquor." The green liquor is then conveyed to a causticizer where slaked
lime (calcium hydroxide) is added to convert the solution back to white liquor, which can be reused in subsequent
cooks. Residual lime sludge from the causticizer can be recycled after being dewatered and calcined in the hot
lime kiln.
Many mills need more steam for process heating, for driving equipment, for providing electric power, etc., than
can be provided by the recovery furnace alone. Thus, conventional industrial boilers that burn coal, oil, natural
gas, and in some cases, bark and wood waste are commonly employed.

EMISSION FACTORS

-------
10.1.2.2. Emission and Controls1 ~6—Particulate emissions from the kraft process occur primarily from the re-
covery furnace, the lime kiln, and the smelt dissolving tank. These emissions consist mainly of sodium salts but
include some calcium salts from the lime kiln. They are caused primarily by the carryover of solids plus the sub-
limation and condensation of the inorganic chemicals.
Particulate control is provided on recovery furnaces in a variety of ways. In mills where either a cyclonic
scrubber or cascade evaporator serves as the direct contact evaporator, further control is necessary as these devices
are generally only 20 to 50 percent efficient for particulates. Most often in these cases, an electrostatic precipitator
is employed after the direct contact evaporator to provide an overall particulate control efficiency of 85 to >99
percent. In a few mills, however, a venturi scrubber is utilized as the direct contact evaporator and simultaneously
provides 80 to 90 percent particulate control. In either case auxiliary scrubbers may be included after the
precipitator or the venturi scrubber to provide additional control of particulates.
Particulate control on lime kilns is generally accomplished by scrubbers. Smelt dissolving tanks are commonly
controlled by mesh pads but employ scrubbers when further control is needed.
The characteristic odor of the kraft mill is caused in large part by the emission of hydrogen sulfide. The major
source is the direct contact evaporator in which the sodium sulfide in the black liquor reacts with the carbon
dioxide in the furnace exhaust. The lime kiln can also be a potential source as a similar reaction occurs involving
residual sodium sulfide in the lime mud. Lesser amounts of hydrogen sulfide are emitted with the noncondensible
off-gasses from the digesters and multiple-effect evaporators.
The kraft-process odor also results from an assortment of organic sulfur compounds, all of which have extremely
low odor thresholds. Methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide are formed in reactions with the wood component
lignin. Dimethyl disulfide is formed through the oxidation of mercaptan groups derived from the lignin. These
compounds are emitted from many points within a mill; however, the main sources are the digester/blow tank
systems and the direct contact evaporator.
Although odor control devices, per se, are not generally employed in kraft mills, control of reduced sulfur
compounds can be accomplished by process modifications and by optimizing operating conditions. For example,
black liquor oxidation systems, which oxidize sulfides into less reactive thiosulfates, can considerably reduce
odorous sulfur emissions from the direct contact evaporator, although the vent gases from such systems become
minor odor sources themselves. Noncondensible odorous gases vented from the digester/blow tank system and
multiple-effect evaporators can be destroyed by thermal oxidation, usually by passing them through the lime
kiln. Optimum operation of the recovery furnace, by avoiding overloading and by maintaining sufficient oxygen
residual and turbulence, significantly reduces emissions of reduced sulfur compounds from this source. In addi-
tion, the use of fresh water instead of contaminated condensates in the scrubbers and pulp washers further reduces
odorous emissions. The effect of any of these modifications on a given mill's emissions will vary considerably.
Several new mills have incorporated recovery systems that eliminate the conventional direct contact evaporators.
In one system, preheated combustion air rather than flue gas provides direct contact evaporation. In the other,
the multiple-effect evaporator system is extended to replace the direct contact evaporator altogether. In both of
these systems, reduced sulfur emissions from the recovery furnace/direct contact evaporator reportedly can be
reduced by more than 95 percent from conventional uncontrolled systems.
Sulfur dioxide emissions result mainly from oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds in the recovery furnace.
It is reported that the direct contact evaporator absorbs 50 to 80 percent of these emissions; further scrubbing, if
employed, can reduce them another 10 to 20 percent.
Potential sources of carbon monoxide emissions from the kraft process include the recovery furnace and lime
kilns. The major cause of carbon monoxide emissions is furnace operation well above rated capacity, making it
impossible to maintain oxidizing conditions.
4/77 Wood Products Industry 10.1-3
-------
Some nitrogen oxides are also emitted from the recovery furnace and lime kilns although the
amounts are relatively small. Indications are that nitrogen oxides emissions from each of these sources
are on the order of 1 pound per air-dried ton (0.5 kg/air-dried MT) of pulp produced.5 6
A major source of emissions in a kraft mill is the boiler for generating auxiliary steam and power.
The fuels used are coal, oil, natural gas, or bark/wood waste. Emission factors for boilers are presented
in Chapter 1.
Table 10.1.2-1 presents emission factors for a conventional kraft mill. The most widely used
particulate controls devices are shown along with the odor reductions resulting from black liquor
oxidation and incineration of noncondensible off-gases.
10.1.3 Acid Sulfite Pulping by Tom Lahre
10.1.3.1 Process Description14 - The production of acid sulfite pulp proceeds similarly to kraft pulp-
ing except that different chemicals are used in the cooking liquor. In place of the caustic solution used
to dissolve the lignin in the wood, sulfurous acid is employed. To buffer the cooking solution, a bisul-
fite of sodium, magnesium, calcium, or ammonium is used. A simplified flow diagram of a magnesium-
base process is shown in Figure 10.1.3-1.
Digestion is carried out under high pressure and high temperature in either batch-mode or con-
tinuous digesters in the presence^ of^a julfuroys acid-bisulfite cooking liquor. When cooking is com-
leted, the digester is either discharged at high pressure into a blow pit or its contents are pumped out
at a lower pressure into a dump tank. The spent sulfite liquor (also called red liquor) then drains
through the bottom of the tank and is either treated and disposed, incinerated, or sent to a plant for
recovery of heat and chemicals. The pulp is then washed and processed through screens and centri-
fuges for removal of knots, bundles of fibers, and other materials. It subsequently may be bleached,
pressed, and dried in paper-making operations.
Because of the variety of bases employed in the cooking liquor, numerous schemes for heat and/or
chemical recovery have evolved. In calcium-base systems, which are used mostly in older mills, chemi-
cal recovery is not practical, and the spent liquor is usually discarded or incinerated. In ammonium-
base operations, heat can be recovered from the spent liquor through combustion, but the ammonium
base is consumed in the process. In sodium- or magnesium-base operations heat, sulfur, and base
recovery are all feasible.
If recovery is practiced, the spent weak red liquor (which contains more than half of the raw
materials as dissolved organic solids) is concentrated in a multiple-effect evaporator and direct contact
evaporator to 55 to 60 percent solids. Strong liquor is sprayed into a furnace and burned, producing
steam for the digesters, evaporators, etc., and to meet the mills power requirements.
When magnesium base liquor is burned, a flue gas is produced from which magnesium oxide is
recovered in a multiple cyclone as fine white powder. The magnesium oxide is then water-slaked and
used as circulating liquor in a series of venturi scrubbers which are designed to absorb sulfur dioxide
from the flue gas and form a bisulfite solution for use in the cook cycle. When sodium-base liquor is
burned, the inorganic compounds are recovered as a molten smelt containing sodium sulfide and
sodium carbonate. This smelt may be processed further and used to absorb sulfur dioxide from the
flue gas and sulfur burner. In some sodium-base mills, however, the smelt may be sold to a nearby kraft
mill as raw material for producing green liquor.

If recovery is not practiced, an acid plant of sufficient capacity to fulfill the mill's total sulfite
requirement is necessary. Normally, sulfur is burned in a rotary or spray burner. The gas produced is
then cooled by heat exchangers plus a water spray and then absorbed in a variety of different scrubbers
containing either limestone or a solution of the base chemical. Where recovery is practiced, fortifica-
tion is accomplished similarly, although a much smaller amount of sulfur dioxide must be produced
to make up for that lost in the process.
10.1.3.2 Emissions and Controls14 - Sulfur dioxide is generally considered the major pollutant of
concern from sulfite pulp mills. The characteristic "kraft" odor is not emitted because volatile re-
duced sulfur compounds are not products of the lignin-bisulfite reaction.
One of the major SQ2 sources is the digester and blow pit or dump tank system. Sulfur dioxide is
present in the intermittent digester relief gases as well as in the gases given off at the end ofJJhe cook
when the digester contents are discharged into the blow pit or dump tank. The quantity of sulfur oxide
evolved and emitted to the atmosphere in these gas streams depends on the pH of the cooking liquor,
the pressure at which the digester contents are discharged, and the effectiveness of the absorption
systems employed for SC>2 recovery. Scrubbers can be installed that reduce SOj from this source by as
much as 99 percent.
Another source of sulfur dioxide emissions is the recovery system. Since magnesium-, sodium-, and
ammonium-base recovery systems all utilize absorption systems to recover SO2 generated in the re-
covery furnace, acid fortification towers, multiple-effect evaporators, etc., the magnitude of SO2
emissions depends on the desired efficiency of these systems. Generally, such absorption systems
provide better than 95 percent sulfur recovery to minimize sulfur makeup needs.
The various pulp washing, screening, and cleaning operations are also potential sources of SO?.
These operations are numerous and may account for a significant fraction of a mill's SO2 emissions if
not controlled.
The only significant paniculate source in the pulping and recovery process is the absorption system
handling the recovery furnace exhaust. Less particulate is generated in ammonium-base systems than
magnesium- or sodium-base systems as the combustion productions are mostly nitrogen, water vapor,
and sulfur dioxide.
Other major sources of emissions in a sulfite pulp mill include the auxiliary power boilers. Emis-
sion factors for these boilers are presented in Chapter 1.
Emission factors for the various sulfite pulping operations are shown in Table 10.1.3-1.
10.1.4 Neutral Sulfite Semichemical (NSSC) Pulping
10.1.4.1 Process Description1*7*15'16 - In this process, the wood chips are cooked in a neutral solution of
sodium sulfite and sodium bicarbonate. The sulfite ion reacts with the lignin in the wood, and the
sodium bicarbonate acts as a buffer to maintain a neutral solution. The major difference between this
process (as well as all semichemical techniques) and the kraft and acid sulfite processes is that only a
portion of the lignin is removed during the cook, after which the pulp is further reduced by mechani-
cal disintegration. Because of this, yields as high as 60 to 80 percent can be achieved as opposed to 50 to
55 percent for other chemical processes.

aAII emission factors represent long-term average emissions.
Factors expressed in terms of Ib (kg) of pollutant per air dried unbleached ton (MT) of pulp. All factors are based on data
in Reference 14.
cThese factors represent emissions that occur after the cook is completed and when the digester contents are discharged in-
to the blow pit or dump tank. Some relief gases are vented from the digester during the cook cycle, but these are usually
transferred to pressure accumulators, and the SC>2 therein is reabsorbed for use in the cooking liquor. These factors repre-
sent long-term average emissions; in some mills, the actual emissions will be intermittent and for short time periods.
^Negligible emissions.
eProcess changes may include such measures as raising the pH of the cooking liquor, thereby lowering the free SC>2, reliev-
ing the pressure in the digester before the contents are discharged, and pumping out the digester contents instead of blow-
ing them out.
f The recovery system at most mills is a closed system that includes the recovery furnace, direct contact evaporator, multi-
ple-effect evaporator, acid fortification tower, and SC>2 absorption scrubbers. Generally, there will only be one emission
point for the entire recovery system. These factors are long-term averages and include the high S02 emissions during the
periodic purging of the recovery system.
9 Acid plants are necessary in mills that have no or insufficient recovery systems.

EMISSION FACTORS
4/77
-------
The NSSC process varies from mill to mill. Some mills dispose of their spent liquor, some mills recover the
cooking chemicals, and some, which are operated in conjunction with kraft mills, mix their spent liquor with the
kraft liquor as a source of makeup chemicals. When recovery is practiced, the steps involved parallel those of the
sulfite process.
10.1.4.2 Emissions and Controls1'7'15?16 — Particulate emissions are a potential problem only when recovery
systems are employed. Mills that do practice recovery, but are not operated in conjunction with kraft operations
often utilize fluidized bed reactors to burn their spent liquor. Because the flue gas contains sodium sulfate and
sodium carbonate dust, efficient particulate collection may be included to facilitate chemical recovery.
A potential gaseous pollutant is sulfur dioxide. The absorbing towers, digester/blow tank system, and recovery
furnace are the main sources of this pollutant with the amounts emitted dependent upon the capability of the
scrubbing devices installed for control and recovery.
Hydrogen sulfide can also be emitted from NSSC mills using kraft-type recovery furnaces. The main potential
source is the absorbing tower where a significant quantity of hydrogen sulfide is liberated as the cooking liquor is
made. Other possible sources include the recovery furnace, depending on the operating conditions maintained, as
well as the digester/blow tank system in mills where some green liquor is used in the cooking process. Where green
liquor is used, it is also possible that significant quantities of mercaptans will be produced. Hydrogen sulfide
emissions can be eliminated if burned to sulfur dioxide prior to entering the absorbing systems.
Because the NSSC process differs greatly from mill to mill, and because of the scarcity of adequate data, no
emission factors are presented.

10.2 PULPBOARD
10.2.1 General i
Pulpbouid manufacturing involves the fabrication of "fibrous boards from a pulp slurry. This includes two dis-
tmct types of product, papcrboard and fibcrbourd. Papcrboard is a general term that describes a sheet 0.012 inch
(0.30 nun) or more m thickness made of fibious material on a paper-forming machine.2 Fibcrboard, also referred
to as particle board, is thicker than papcrboard and is made somewhat differently.
There are two distinct phases in the conversion of wood to pulpboard: (1) the manufacture of pulp from raw
wood and (2) the manufacture of pulpboard from the pulp. This section deals only with the latter as the former
is covered under the section on the wood pulping industry.
10.2.2 Process Description1
In the in ,'iufacture of papcrboard, the stock is sent through screens into the head box, from which it flows
onto a mo'. > .p screen. Approximately 15 percent of the water is removed by suction boxes located under the
screen. Another 50 to 60 percent of the moisture content is removed in the drying section. The dried board
then enters the calendar stack, which imparts the final suiface to the product.
In the manufacture of fibcrboard, the slurry that remains after pulping is washed and sent to the stock chests
where sizing is added. The refined fiber from the stock chests is fed to the head box of the board machine. The
stock is next fed onto the forming screens and sent to dryers, after which the dry product is finally cut and
fabricated.
10.2.3 Emissions'
Emissions from the paperboard machine consist mainly of water vapor; little or no paniculate matter is emit-
ted from the dryers.3-5 Particulates are emitted, however, from the fibcrboard drying operation. Additional
particulate emissions occur from the cutting and sanding operations. Emission factors for these operations are
given in section 10.4. Emission factors for pulpboard manufacturing are shown in Table 10.2-1.

10.3 PLYWOOD VENEER AND LAYOUT OPERATIONS
Hy Thomas Luhrv
10.3.1 Process Description1
Plywood is a material made of several thin wood veneers bonded together with an adhesive. Its uses are many
and include wall sidings, sheathing, roof-decking, eoncrete-formboards, floors, and containers.
During the manufacture of plywood, incoming logs are sawed to desired length, debarked, and then peeled
into thin, continuous veneers of uniform thickness. (Veneer thicknesses of 1/45 to 1/5 inch are common.)
These veneers are then transported to special dryers where they are subjected to high temperatures until dried to
a desired moisture content. After drying, the veneers are sorted, patched, and assembled in layers with some
type of thermosetting resin used as the adhesive. The veneer assembly is then transferred to a hot press where,
under presssure and steam heat, the plywood product is formed. Subsequently, all that remains is trimming,
sanding, and possibly some sort of finishing treatment to enhance the usefullness of the plywood.
10.3.2 Emissions2-3
The main sources of emissions from plywood manufacturing are the veneer drying and sanding operations.
A third source is the pressing operation although these emissions are considered minor.
The major pollutants emitted from veneer dryers are organics. These consist of two discernable fractions:
(1) condensibles, consisting of wood resins, resin acids, and wood sugars, which form a blue ha/.e upon cooling
in the atmosphere, and (2) volatiles, which are comprised of terpines and unburned methane-the latter occurring
when gas-fired dryers are employed. The amounts of these compounds produced depends on the wood species
dried, the drying time, and the nature and operation of the dryer itself. In addition, negligible amounts of fine
wood fibers are also emitted during the drying process.
Sanding operations are a potential source of particulate emissions (see section 10.4). Emission factors for ply-
wood veneer dryers without controls are given in Table 10.3-1.

10.4 WOODWORKING OPERATIONS by Tom Lahre
10.4.1 General 1'5
"Woodworking," as defined in this section, includes any operation that involves the generation of small wood
waste particles (shavings, sanderdust, sawdust, etc.) by any kind of mechanical manipulation of wood, bark, or
wood byproducts. Common woodworking operations include sawing, planing, chipping, shaping, moulding,
hogging, latheing, and sanding. Woodworking operations are found in numerous industries such as sawmills;
plywood, particleboard, and hardboard plants; and furniture manufacturing plants.
Most plants engaged in woodworking employ pneumatic transfer systems to remove the generated wood waste
from the immediate proximity of each woodworking operation. These systems are necessary as a housekeeping
measure to eliminate the vast quantity of waste material that would otherwise accumulate. They are also a
convenient means of transporting the waste material to common collection points for ultimate disposal. Large
diameter cyclones have historically been the primary means of separating the waste material from the airstreams
in the pneumatic transfer systems, although baghouses have recently been installed in some plants for this
purpose.
The waste material collected in the cyclones or baghouses may be burned in wood waste boilers, utilized in the
manufacture of other products (such as pulp or particleboard), or incinerated in conical (teepee/wigwam)
burners. The latter practice is declining with the advent of more stringent air pollution control regulations and
because of the economic attractiveness of utilizing wood waste as a resource.
10.4.2 Emissions1'6
The only pollutant of concern in woodworking operations is particulate matter. The major emission points are
the cyclones utilized in the pneumatic transfer systems. The quantity of particulate emissions from a given
cyclone will depend on the dimensions of the cyclone, the velocity of the airstream, and the nature of the
operation generating the waste. Typical large-diameter cyclones found in the industry will only effectively collect
particles greater than 40 micrometers in diameter. Baghouses, when employed, collect essentially all of the waste
material in the airstream.
It is difficult to describe a typical woodworking operation and the emissions resulting therefrom because of
the many types of operations that may be required to produce a given type of product and because of the many
variations that may exist in the pneumatic transfer and collection systems. For example, the waste from
numerous pieces of equipment often feed into the same cyclone, and it is common for the material collected in
one or several cyclones to be conveyed to another cyclone. It is also possible for portions of the waste generated
by a single operation to be directed to different cyclones.
Because of this complexity, it is useful when evaluating emissions from a given facility to consider the waste
handling cyclones as air pollution sources instead of the various woodworking operations that actually generate
the particulate matter. Emission factors for typical large-diameter cyclones utilized for waste collection in
woodworking operations are given in Table 10.4-1.
Emission factors for wood waste boilers, conical burners, and various drying operations-often found in
facilities employing woodworking operations-are given in Sections 1.6,2.3, 10.2. and 10.3.

Charles Masser
Since most woodworking operations control emissions out of necessity, fugitive emissions are seldom a
problem. However, the wood waste storage bins are a common source of fugitive emissions. Table 10.4-2
shows these emission sources and their corresponding emission factors.
Information concerning size characteristics is very limited. Data collected in a western red cedar furni-
ture factory equipped with exhaust ventilation on most woodworking equipment showed most suspended
particles in the working environment to be less than 2 /u.m in diameter.7

aTable 3.1.4-7 indicates 0.33 g/km of participate emissions from exhaust
and tire wear, which have not been excluded from the measured results
given in Table 11.2.5-1. Average emissions of entrained dust, excluding
exhaust and tire wear, would therefore be aDoroximatelv 3.2 g/km.
bEmission factors reflect average "dry day" conditions. During periods of
rainfall, reentramment of dust should be negligible. However, after rain
ends, emissions may be temporarily increased as a result of deposition of
mud on street surfaces. When this material dries, it may become entrained
by vehicle action.
These measurements relate to the amount of material passing through a
vertical plane located approximately 5 meters downwind from the near
edge of the street. Thus, these measured results exclude any particles that
settle within 5 meters from the edge of the street. In Reference 3,
measured emission factors were also obtained for a case where streets
were artificially loaded with very high (10,000 kg/km) amounts of dirt and
gravel. Very high emissions were observed for a short period of time (up to
9.8. kg/vehicle km), but emission factors decreased rapidly as street
loadings were decreased by vehicle traffic.
dThese measurements were based on high volume sampler data taken 10
meters downwind from the street. Thus, particles settling within 10 meters
of the edge of the street are excluded from the emission factor.
Measurements were also taken 20 and 30 meters downwind. These
measurements appear to show that emission rates decrease with increasing
distance from the source, presumably by particle settling On the average,
the emission rate calculated 20 meters downwind was 86 percent of the 10
meter value, and the emission rate 30 meters downwind was 77 percent of
the 10 meter value.
eAverage determined from average results of References 3 and 4, with each
study weighted equally.

APPENDIX C
NEDS SOURCE CLASSIFICATION CODES
AND
EMISSION FACTOR LISTING
The Source Classification Codes (SCCs) presented herein comprise the "building blocks" upon
which the National Emissions Data System (NEDS) is structured. Each SCC represents a process or
function within a source category logically associated with a point of air pollution emissions. In NEDS
any operation that causes air pollution can be represented by one or more of these SCCs. The SCC is
the most critical NEDS data item since, without an appropriate SCC, the source cannot be properly
identified for retrieval purposes, nor the source emissions properly calculated.
Also presented herein are emission factors for the five NEDS pollutants (particulates, sulfur ox-
ides, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide) that correspond to each SCC. These fac-
tors are used in NEDS to compute automatically estimates of air pollutant emissions associated with a
process when a more accurate estimate is not supplied to the system. These factors are, for the most
part, taken directly from AP-42. In certain cases, however, they may be derived from better infor-
mation not yet incorporated into AP-42 or based merely on the similarity of one process to another for
which emissions information does exist.
NOTE: This Source Classification Code and emission factor listing replaces the listing dated Decem-
ber 1975, which appeared in AP-42, Supplement 5. The new listing has been updated to include all
emission factor changes through AP-42, Supplement 9. The listing has also been reformatted and re-
arranged to improve readability and to facilitate cross referencing with Standard Industrial Classifi-
cation (SIC) codes. A number of new SCCs have been added to the listing. In addition, many of the
SCCs that appeared in the December 1975 edition have been deleted. A videocassette tape describing
the use of this revised listing has been prepared. To obtain the videocassette tape, or for any other
comments regarding this listing, inquiries should be directed to:

FUGITIVE EMISSIONS FROM INDUSTRIAL SOURCES
NOTE: Fugitive emissions occur from numerous locations within Industrial facilities but, as of 1978, most of these sources
have not been fully characterized. To allow these fugitive sources to be represented in NEDS, comnon SCC codes have
been developed and are tabulated below. These codes should be used in addition to the main process SCC codes associ-
ated with the facility. Specific fugitive emissions that have been characterized are also contained in the text.

APPENDIX E
COMPILATION OF LEAD MISSION FACTORS
INTRODUCTION
Lead was not involved as a specific pollutant in the earlier editions and supplements of AP-42. Since
a National Ambient Air Quality Standard for lead has been issued, it has become necessary to determine
emission factors for lead, and these are given in Table E-l. The AP-42 Section number given in this table
for each process corresponds to the pertinant section in the body of the document.
Lead emission factors for combustion and evaporation from mobile sources require a totally different
treatment, and they are not included in this Appendix.

16. ABSTRACT
Emission data obtained from source tests, material balance studies, engineering
estimates, etc., have been compiled for use by individuals and groups responsible for
conducting air pollution emission inventories. Emission factors given in this docu-
ment, the result of the expansion and continuation of earlier work, cover most of the
common emission categories: fuel combustion by stationary and mobile sources; com-
bustion of solid wastes; evaporation of fuels, solvents, and other volatile sub-
stances; various industrial processes; and miscellaneous sources. When no specific
source-test data are available, these factors can be used to estimate the quantities
of primary pollutants (particulates, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, oxides of
nitrogen, and hydrocarbons) being released from a source or source group.
