-------
The highest priority source categories for revised AP-42
sections were found to be:
Oil and gas production
Industrial surface coating
Petroleum tank storage
Petroleum refining
For these sources the final priority rankings were identical to
the rankings based on air quality impact alone. Industrial sur-
face coating receives a high priority ranking because the diverse
operations in this category are considered collectively rather
than individually. Prioritization of 268 individual surface
coating operations has been performed by the Monsanto Research
Corporation so it is possible to consider individual subcategories,
if desired, in formulating a plan to update AP-42.
The final priority ratings from Table 3-3 are used in the
organization of Section 4.0 which summarizes work recently com-
pleted or underway and in the formulation of the workplan that
is presented in Section 6sO. The availability of information on
reactive and nonreactive VOC is discussed in Section 4.0, but
was not considered explicitly in deriving priority ratings.

4.0 ACCOMPLISHED AND CURRENT RESEARCH
Research that has recently been accomplished or 1s currently
underway that could lead to new and Improved emission factors 1s
summarized 1n Paragraphs 4.1 through 4.19 for each of the highest
priority source categories. A more complete listing that Includes
all source categories 1s given In Appendix B.
4.1 OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION
In general, no comprehensive field studies have been completed
to provide a data base for formulating emission factors. Emission
factors have been developed by extrapolation of factors developed
for similar source categories, such as petroleum refining and
stationary Internal combustion. Field studies are underway that
relate specifically to oil and gas production.
• "Atmospheric Emissions from Offshore Oil and Gas Deve-
lopment," EPA-450/3-77-026, June 1977. A report prepared
by Energy Resources Company, Inc., for EPA under Contract
No. 68-02-2512.
This report includes no field studies, but it contains
suggested emission factors developed from existing litera-
ture. It presents detailed process descriptions including
drilling, oil and gas processing, and waste treating, and
identifies emission sources which require further study ~
specifically gas vents, oil storage vents, water separa-
tors, compressor seals and thrust bearing vents and
well completion, blowouts, and oil spills. Qualitative
comments are made about the relative amounts of methane
and total hydrocarbons.
• "Control of Hydrocarbon Emissions From Stationary Sources
in the South Coast Air Basin." A report prepared for the
California Air Resources Board by KVB, Inc., which is to
be Issued in draft form in January 1978, and in final
form later in the spring.
This report includes field testing of 54 sources at two
oil fields in the Los Angeles area. Detailed hydrocarbon
species analysis were performed by gas chromatography-mass
spectrometry (GC-mass spec.) techniques. Since the pur-
pose of the study was to develop an emission inventory
rather than to formulate emission factors, no detailed
4-1
-------
descriptions of the oil field operations are Included.
Detailed test results may not be Included in the study
report but will be available from a data tape that will
be submitted to the California Air Resources Board with
, the report.
• "Multimedia Assessment of Environmental Effect of
Natural Gas Processing Plants." A study in progress
by TRC for the Chemical Processes Branch of IERL and
scheduled to be compteted in the spring of 1978.
This work does not involve any field testing, but it
will provide a summary of the state of knowledge with
particular emphasis on reactive organics.
• "Evaluations of Emissions From Onshore Drilling, Pro-
ducing, and Storing of Oil and Gas." A study in progress
by PES for the Chemicals and Petroleum Branch, ESED,
OAQPS, to be completed by the summer of 1978.
This study will not include field testing, but it wtll
provide detailed descriptions of process operations
and sources of emissions. The best possible emissions
factors will be derived from existing literature. Re-
presentative oil fields from the entire United States
will be studied.
• "Fugitive Emissions From Oil Field Producing Operations."
A study 1n progress by Rockwell International for the
American Petroleum Institute. Draft report to be sub-
mitted In July 1978, and final report issued later in
1978.
This is expected to provide the definitive data base
for evaluating emissions from oil and gas production.
The field tests have been designed to provide statis-
tically valid data for onshore and offshore production
in the major United States producing areas. Fixed roof
storage tanks are included in the study. Hydrocarbons
will be analyzed by gas chromatography to provide a
species breakdown.
• "Determination of Air Pollutant Emission Factors for
Thermal Tertiary Oil Recovery Operations in California."
A study to be conducted by KVB, Inc., for the California
Air Resources Board. Probable issue date fs the spring
of 1979.
4-2
-------
This study will Include,assembly of all existing informa-
tion on tertiary recovery steam generators (36 known tests)
and development of emission factors if existing test data
are sufficient; otherwise, field tests will be done to
fill data gaps. Tests will be conducted to measure fugitive
emissions, and hydrocarbon species will be measured by GC-
mass spec, analysis for all tests performed by the contractor.
"Natural Gas and Crude Oil Production." A document bearing
this title is proposed for the series of Control Technology
Documents for Stationary Sources of VOC.
There is no scheduled date for issuing this document.
Apparently there is no firm assurance that it will be
issued.
Miscellaneous unpublished tests conducted by the California
A1r Resources Board and local California agencies, tests
conducted by oil producing companies and reported in environ-
mental impact reports (EIR's) or permit applications, and
miscellaneous tests conducted by EPA. No attempt was made
to collect detailed information about these because source
test results usually do not contain any breakdown of gaseous
hydrocarbon species, although some tests may include measure-
ments of condensible hydrocarbons.* Source test results
are not usually accompanied by sufficient information to
characterize the activity level of the source (production
rates, fuel consumption, rates, etc.), and unless this
Information can be obtained independently, the test data
are not useful in the development of emission factors. In
the particular case of oil and gas production, where well-
planned studies are in progress for the purpose of developing
emission factors, it is believed that collection of a number
of miscellaneous test results would not be useful enough to
justify the effort.

4.2 INDUSTRIAL SURFACE COATING
The existing Section 4.2-1 of AP-42 does not meet the needs
of; users primarily because it does not describe the types of data
that should be gathered to define the level of activity for these
operations and does not deal with the problems of handling the
multiplicity of trade names that are applied to solvents. These
needs can be met by organizing and summarizing existing material;
field testing is not required except possibly 1n instances where
sufficient heat 1s applied to cause changes in the chemical com-
position of the solvent. Most of the relevant research summarized
herein deals with the organization of material on surface coating
rather than field testing.
• "Source Assessment: Pr1or1tization of Air Pollution From
, Industrial Surface Coating Operations," EPA-650/2-75-019-8,
February 1975. A report prepared by Monsanto Research
Corporation for EPA under Contract No. 68-02-1320.
The report prioritizes surface coating operations according
to type of product coated -- 268 in all. Solvent composi-
tion, surface area of each unit coated, and coverage per
unit volume of coating material are listed for each type
of product. Priority lists were generated according to
four options: (1) toxicity of emitted organic species,
(2) toxiclty of photochemical oxidant, (3) worst-case
toxicity, and (4) total mass of organic emissions.

of the study was to compile an inventory rather than to
develop emission factors.

4.3 PETROLEUM TANK STORAGE
The existing section in AP-42 was revised in April 1977, and
might be expected to contain very recent test data; however, this
1s not the case. The section is based on information contained
1n bulletins issued by the American Petroleum Institute between
1959 and 1969. Many users of AP-42 believe that this information
is outdated. Work 1s in progress to remedy this situation.
• "Floating Roof Emission Test Program Report," prepared
by Chicago Bridge and Iron for Standard Oil of Ohio,
November 18, 1976.
Studies were conducted on 8- and 20-foot-diameter scale
model tanks. The following variables were studied:
(1) organic liquid vapor pressure and temperature, (2)
seal type, (3) secondary seal, and (4) gap size and loca-
tion. No field tests were done, and an octaine-propane
blend was used as a surrogate for petroleum distillate.
Total hydrocarbons were measured with a flame ionization
detector.
• "Metallic Seating Ring Emission Test Program Report,"
prepared by Chicago Bridge and Iron for the Western Oil
and Gas Association, January 19, 1977.
Studies were conducted on 8- and 20-foot-diameter scale
model tanks. Evaluations included the effects of wind
sweeping hydrocarbon gases out of the vapor space and
into the atmosphere. The quality of ring installation,
gap sizes and locations, and secondary seals were varied
systematically as part of the experimental design. Total
hydrocarbons were measured with a flame ionization detector.
• "Hydrocarbon Emissions From Floating Roof Petroleum Tanks."
Report prepared by Engineering Science, Inc., for the
Western Oil and Gas Association, January 19, 1977.
Field tests were conducted to measure evaporative losses
for 13 tanks storing petroleum distillate and three tanks
storing crude oil. Emissions were evaluated indirectly
by measuring the change in the density of the stored
liquid. The program was hampered by numerous experimen-
tal difficulties, but a workable test procedure was
finally devised.

This study, which is still in progress, involves a 4,000
gallon square test tank. The effects of wind speed,
temperature, vapor pressure, and various seal combinations
are being evaluated.
• "Hydrocarbon Emissions From Fixed Roof Petroleum Tanks."
A report prepared by Engineering Science, Inc., for the
Western Oil and Gas Association, July 1977.
This study included 46 tanks ranging in size from less
than 2,000 barrels to more than 100,000 barrels which were
used to store crude oil (37 tanks), distillate (six tanks),
and fuel oil (three tanks). Measured emissions were
compared with those calculated from API Bulletin 2518, and
differences were found. Hydrocarbon species were measured
and are reported according to molecular weight categories.
• "Petroleum Liquid Storage, Fixed Roof Tanks." OAQPS Guide-
line Series published in December 1977.
This report contains no original test data but does summarize
some interim results from studies in progres.
• "Petroleum Liquid Storage, Floating Roof Tanks." OAQPS
Guideline Series scheduled for publication in June 1978.
This report is expected to contain summaries of data from
other studies but will not include original test data.
• "Floating Roof Tank Emission Study." A study in progress
by Engineering Science, Inc., for the American Petroleum
Institute. Report is due in the spring of 1979.
This study will provide field test data that will serve
as a basis for updating and revising API Bulletins 2517
and 2519.
• "Control of Hydrocarbon Emissions From Stationary Sources
in the South Coast Air Basin." Report prepared by KVB,
Inc., for the California Air Resources Board — to be
issued in draft form in January 1978, and in final form
later in the spring.
Field tests were performed on three oil field tanks
(with vapor recovery systems) and on seven refinery
tanks. Detailed hydrocarbon species analyses were per-
formed by GC-mass spec., but no detailed descriptions of
the tanks are given since the purpose of the study was to
compile an inventory rather than to develop emission
factors.

4.4 PETROLEUM REFINING
The present information in AP-42 on petroleum refining is
derived almost entirely from a study conducted by the Los Angeles
County Air Pollution Control District in the late 1950's. This
study was extensive and used the most advanced techniques that
were available at that time; however, many users of AP-42 feel
that It 1s no long adequate. Work is presently underway to pro-
vide an updated data base.
• "Development of Improved Emission Factors and Process
Descriptions for Petroleum Refining." Report prepared
for EPA by Radian Corporation under Contract No. 68-02-
1886, April 15, 1977.
The contract did not include any field testing. The
report is a corrected version of the material in AP-42
with some improvements in stationary source factors.
As a part of the contract, the material is written in
a format suitable for inclusion in AP-42, and will be
Included in a forthcoming AP-42 supplement.
• "Assessment of the Environmental Emissions From Oil
Refining." A study in progress by Radian Corporation
for the Chemical Processes Branch of IERL and scheduled
for completion in the spring of 1979.
This includes sampling for hydrocarbons at fugitive and
point emission sources at 14 refineries. No emissions from
storage are included. One of the purposes of this con-
tract is to provide improved emission factors for petro-
leum refineries accompanied by information on the distri-
bution of hydrocarbon species in the various emissions.
Suitable sections in AP-42 format are expected to be
Included with the final report.
• "Control of Hydrocarbon Emissions From Stationary Sources
In the South Coast Basins." Report prepared for the Cali-
fornia Air Resources Board by KVB, Inc., which is to be
issued in draft form in January 1978, and in final form
later in the spring.
This report includes results of 66 field tests at three
refineries in the Los Angeles area. Stationary and fugi-
tive sources are included, and storage tanks were tested
at two of the refineries. Detailed hydrocarbon species
4-8
-------
analyses were performed by GC-mass spec, techniques. Since
the purpose of this study was to develop an emission inven-
tory rather than to formulate emission factors, no detailed
descriptions of refinary operations are included. Detailed
results of all the tests may not be contained in the study
report but will be available from a data tape that will be
submitted to the California Air Resources Board with the
report.
• "Survey of Compliance Analysis and Study of Air Pollution
Problems and Controls at Petroleum Refineries." Report pre-
pared for EPA by PES under Contract No. 68-02-1378, April
1977.
This study was a compliance evaluation of every refinery
in the United States. One result of this evaluation was
the compilation of a comprehensive file of refinery source
tests, believed to include most of the tests ever performed
on all refineries in the United States. Normally, source
test reports include so little process information that they
are not well-suited for emission factor development; however,
since these test results are already compiled, it might be
worthwhile to scrutinize them to see if any useful conclusions
can be drawn relative to emission factors.
• "Petroleum Refinery Vacuum Systems, Waste Water Separators
and Process Unit Turnaround." OAQPS Guideline Series pub-
lished in October 1977.
This document includes summaries of existing data that
relate to control technology. No original test results
are presented.
• "Petroleum Refinery Fugitive Emissions (Leaks)." OAQPS
Guideline Series scheduled for publication in June 1978.
This document is expected to emphasize control technology
rather than the estimation of emissions from leakage.
4.5 DECREASING
There is no section in the present edition of AP-42 that is
devoted to degreasing. The situation is similar to that previously
discussed for industrial surface coating; organization of data is
required rather than field testing because, in this operation, the
solvent consumed essentially equals the solvent emitted to the
atmosphere. Two reports have been published and may be helpful
organizing this material.

EPA-600/2-76-032d, June 1976. A report prepared by
Monsanto Research Corporation for EPA under Contract
No. 68-02-1874.
This report describes various kinds of degreasing pro-
cesses and lists the number of plants of each type.
Emissions are estimated for the entire United States1
by defining a representative source for each solvent
type based on information contained in the NEDS data
base. Emission factors of 1,000 grams per kilogram are
applied to solvent consumption data for the entire
nation. No information is presented that can be used
to relate solvent consumption to the amount of material
cleaned or degreased. Some of the material in this
report would be useful for AP-42, but, it does not address
the problem of estimating emissions from a single plant
or even a single urban area.
"Control of Volatile Organic Emissions From Solvent Metal
Cleaning," EPA-450/2-77-022. OAQPS Guideline Series
published in October 1977.
This report deals primarily with the performance of con-
trols, but a few tests of uncontrolled units are included.
Emphasis is placed on estimated average, nationwide
emissions rather than evaluating single degreasing units.
4.6 LEAKAGE FROM GAS DISTRIBUTION
This source has been identified as a major one in the Los
Angeles area by using specialized analytical techniques that have
not been implemented elsewhere. The basic technique is described
tn the publication discussed herein.
• "Source Reconciliation of Atmospheric Hydrocarbons." This
report, dated March 1975, was prepared by Henry Mayrsohn
and James Crabtree of the California Air Resources Board
Laboratory, El Monte, California.
The source recondiliation technique involves measurement
of atmosphere C2 - C§ hydrocarbons and developing profiles
for various locations, times of day, and seasons. Source
profiles were determined for major sources of atmospheric
hydrocarbons in the Los Angeles area, including automotive
exhaust, gasoline, gasoline vapor, commercial natural gas,
geogenic natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas. Multi-
4-10
-------
varlate regression analysis was used to determine the
contribution of each source category to the atmospheric
mix.
The contribution of each category varies with location and
time of day, but the average distribution of nonmethane
hydrocarbon emissions was found to be automotive exhaust,
47 percent; gasoline, 31 percent; commercial natural gas,
8 percent; geogenlc natural gas, 14 percent; and liquefied
petroleum gas, 1 percent. Commercial natural gas in the
Los Angeles area contained 83-percent methane, 11-percent
ethane, and 6-percent higher hydrocarbons.
Based on the aforementioned Los Angeles data, the quantity of non-
methane hydrocarbons from commercial natural gas is 8 percent of the
total 720,000 tons per year of organic emissions in the South Coast
A1r Shed or 115 x 10 pounds per year. This is approximately 0.3
percent of all gas distributed to customers. Assuming that emissions
are proportional to quantities of natural gas delivered to the cus-
tomer* we can calculate that nationally the nonmethane hydrocarbons
from this source are 2,400 x 10 pounds per year, which can be broken
down Into 1,600 x 10 pounds per year of ethane and 800 x 10 pounds
per year of higher hydrocarbons. No similar studies have been con-
ducted in other geographic areas, so it is impossible to tell whether
the Los Angeles results are typical. Possibly source reconciliation
studies may be carried out as part of the Tulsa Field Study. Accord-
Ing to the Project Officer, Norman Possiel of AMTD, a decision will
be made by June 1978, whether source reconciliation will be attempted.
If so, they plan to use the same source categories that were developed
for Los Angeles and thus might obtain results that could be compared
with the Los Angeles results. It is reasonable to assume that many
leaks exist in natural gas distribution systems, and it is important
to realize that reactive organics from this source may contribute
appreciably to the total reactive organics burden.

4.7 BOILERS. FOSSIL FUEL
Until recently there was little concern about hydrocarbon
emission factors for boilers because VOC emissions were thought
to be small and unimportant. There is now a growing realization
that large boilers may emit appreciable amounts of VOC. The
current state of knowledge has been summarized recently in several
internal EPA documents.
• "Appropriate NMVOC Emission Factors for Use in Evaluating
Offset Emissions From New Powerplants and Incinerators."
Memo dated June 3, 1977, from Robert E. Neligan, Director
MDAD to William S. Baker, Chief of the Air Branch of EPA
Region I".
This memo includes four enclosures that summarize the data
on which the present AP-42 factors are based. The need for
additional systematic comprehensive work is pointed out.
• "Organic Emissions From Conventional Stationary Combustion
Sources," Smith, N.D. An internal report prepared in August
1977 by lERL's Special Studies Staff.
This report summarizes all published tests on organic
emissions from conventional boilers. Emissions are reported
as total hydrocarbons (HC), benzene soluble organics (BSO),
and benzo(a')pyrene (BaP). The author concludes that "What
emerges from this compilation is that our present knowledge
of organic pollutants in the flue gas of conventional
stationary combustion sources is very incomplete. It is
clear that most of the data compiled here already existed
10 or 15 years ago. While these early results may still
provide a good comparison of emissions from several diverse
sources, the individual values must now be held suspect in
view of recent improvements in emission control devices and
sampling-analysis methods."
• "Data on Organic Emissions From Combustion Equipment."
Memo dated October 7, 1977, from Wade H. Ponder, Manager
Combustion Pollution Assessment Program/IERL to Robert
T. Walsh, Chief, Chemical and Petroleum Branch.
This memo summarizes work that is in progress that will
provide information on organic emissions from combustion
sources. The relevant individual projects are discussed
herein.

Some data on volatile organics will be accumulated during
these field tests; however, this is not a major objective
of the program. Some of these tests will probably include
organic particulate matter but will not include gaseous
organics.
• "Emissions Characterization of Conventional Combustion
Processes." Work in progress by TRW/GCA for the Chemical

This is a comprehensive program that will provide a defi-
nitive data base on VOC from combustion processes. Indivi-
dual hydrocarbon species will be reported as well as total
hydrocarbons. A draft report on residential oil-fired and
coal-fired furnaces was submitted in October 1977, and
is now undergoing revision prior to publication. A report
on internal combustion oil and gas turbines and diesel
engines is now being prepared. Reports on oil- and coal-
fired industrial boilers and lignite-fired powerplants are
scheduled for April 1978. Reports on coal-fired powerplants
and commercial/institutional sources are anticipated for the
future.

This report includes field tests of two oil-fired steam
plants, two oil-fired powerplant boilers, and one residen-
tial gas-fired heater. Detailed hydrocarbon species
analyses were performed by GC-mass spec, techniques. Since
the purpose of the study was to develop an emission inven-
tory rather than to formulate emission factors, no detailed

Measurement of total hydrocarbons were made as an inci-
dental part of this overall study. No species breakdown

4.8 REFUELING MOTOR VEHICLES
The existing section in AP-42 was revised in April 1977, and
as a result is relatively current. However, the motor vehicle
refueling process is undergoing rapid changes as Stage II Vapor
Recovery Regulations are implemented in California and other areas
with severe air quality problems, and AP-42 will require frequent
revisions to incorporate new data as they become available. The
following documents include relevant information, but a thorough,
definitive study of emissions has not yet been made because control
systems are still under development.

Procedures, Phase II," held in San Francisco, California,
April 1977. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

Most of the material presented at these hearings was not
relevant to the development of emission factors, since it
dealt with costs, testing procedures, and safety con-
siderations. Reference was made to in-house tests con-
ducted by Exxon, Texaco, Mobil, and the American Petroleum
Institute, but no test results were presented.

the 15 devices under consideration. A discussion is also
given of problems associated with gasoline vapor recovery
systems at service stations. Presumably at some future
date a report of the completed California program will be
issued, but such reports are not scheduled very far in
advance.

No discussion of total versus reactive organics has been pre-
sented, but factors can be estimated in a straightforward way from
• knowledge of the gasoline composition.
4.9 PLASTICS FABRICATION AND FORMING
The factors listed in AP-42 are rated E since they are based
on engineering analysis rather than field test data. This is a
very diverse category that includes many kinds of plastics and
4-15
-------
fabrication and forming operations, and as a result, would require
a series of emission factors rather than a single factor. The
following document provides a review of the industry.
• "Source Assessment: Plastics Processing - State of the
Art." A report prepared by the Monsanto Research
Corporation for EPA (lERL-Cincinnati) under contract.
The draft version was issued in November 1977.
In this assessment, no field tests were conducted.
Emission factors were derived from information in the
NEDS data base, and the numerical values are higher
than those given in AP-42.
4.10 STATIONARY INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
This is a diverse category that includes diesel, gasoline, and
gas-fired engines -- reciprocating and turbines — in a wide range
of sizes. Emission factors in AP-42 are rated A, B, or C depending
on the type of engine, but VOC emissions are comparatively small
and VOC emission factors are of secondary importance in determining
the overall ratings. Reactive organics are estimated for gas-fired
engines. A recent revision to Section 3.3.1 prepared by PES did
not Include any additions or changes in the hydrocarbon factors.
As indicated herein, some work is in progress that will provide
additional test data, but no comprehensive investigation of this
varied source category is underway.

As part of this comprehensive program, testing has been
performed on internal combustion oil and gas turbines
and diesel engines, and the report on these tests is now
being prepared. Individual hydrocarbon species will be
reported as well as total hydrocarbons.
• "Emissions From Ships, Ship Operations, and Transfer of
Oil in the South Coast Air Basin." Work in progress by
Scott Environmental Technology, Inc., for the California
Air Resources Board. The report will probably be issued
late in 1978.
4-16
-------
In this report, the test program will include total hydro-
carbon emissions from diesel-powered generators and a
variety of engine types that are used for propulsion as
well as pumping. At the present time there are no plans
to analyze combustion exhausts for individual hydrocarbon
species.
4.11 GRAPHIC ARTS
The prioritization scheme that was used in this report is based
on a source classification system that categorizes graphic arts
separately rather than including it as a subcategory under surface
coating. There are many similarities between graphic arts and other
types of surface coating processes, and the general remarks made in
the Industrial Surface Coating Section of this report also apply to
graphic arts. Estimation of emissions is a little more difficult
since It requires knowledge of the composition of printing inks and
similar coatings which are frequently considered proprietary. One
report 1s being prepared in-house by EPA that may be useful.
• "Graphic Arts (Printing)." OAQPS Guideline Series
scheduled for publication in June 1978.
This report will emphasize control technology, but it
will include a summary of some field test data that may
be useful in developing emission factors.
In addition, two printing presses and one rotogravure press were
tested In the KVB study on "Control of Hydrocarbon Emissions From
Stationary Sources in the South Coast Basin."
4.12 GASOLINE SERVICE STATIONS
The current section in AP-42 was revised in April 1977, and
Includes an estimate of uncontrolled and controlled emissions.
Stage I controls are relatively simple, and a substantial body of
performance data has been accumulated in field situations, so this
section should remain current for several years. Estimates of total
versus nonmethane hydrocarbons can be made by the same techniques
4-17
-------
that are used for other losses that result from volatilization of
gasoline. The California Air Resources Board has conducted some
tasting of total hydrocarbon emissions from vents on underground
Storage tanks, but they are not engaged in a large, systematic
•valuation. The control technology guideline document on Stage
It controls has already been listed under Section 4.8 of this
report.
4.13 BYPRODUCT COKE OVENS
The current section in AP-42 is based on reports published
In 1967 and 1968, and the factors are rated C. Since that time,
a limited number of studies have been carried out, but none for
the purpose o'f developing emission factors. These are summarized
herein. Laboratory and pilot plant studies are not included since,
1n the opinion of N. Plaks, they may not be representative of a
full-scale coke oven operated under plant conditions.
• "Emission Testing of Ford-Koppers Coke Pushing System."
Work recently completed by Ford Motor Company under con-
tract with the Metallurgical Processes Branch of IERL.
Testing was done by a subcontractor, Clayton Environ-
mental Consultants. The report was published November
1977.
This report deals primarily with the performance of a
control system. A limited number of tests were done
for low molecular weight organics, but no details of
testing procedures are given.
• "Sampling and Analysis of Emissions From Coke Oven
Doors." Study recently completed by Battelle Memorial
Institute under contract to the Metallurgical Processes
Branch of IERL. The report is now being prepared.
The results of this report include species breakdown
for condensable and noncondensable hydrocarbons. There
is some question about the representativeness of the coke
oven and the sampling technique. Battelle is continuing
to work on coke oven door seals and may conduct full-
scale tests on a demonstration system in late 1979.
4-18
-------
"Coke Quench Tower Emission Testing Programs." Work in
progress by York Research under contract to the Metallur-
gical Processes Branch of IERL.
Testing is underway and includes noncondensable and con-
densable hydrocarbons. The work is scheduled for com-
pletion early in 1978.
Multi-Media Environmental Assessment of Ferrous Metallur-
gical Processes." Work in progress by Research Triangle
Institute under contract to the Metallurgical Processes
Branch of IERL (R. Hendriks).
Sampling has been carried out on byproduct coke ovens for
noncondensable and condensable hydrocarbons. The final
report will presumably include a summary of test results
from all sources including those done especially for this
study. The contract continues until March 1980, with
individual process reports issued from time to time.
4.14 SYNTHETIC RESIN MANUFACTURE
In the prioritization scheme used for this report, all syn-
thetic resins were placed in a single category which received a
final priority ranking of 14. If the various resin types had
been prioritized individually, the following would have ranked
highest:
Acrylic
Polyethylene
Polyvinyl chloride
Polystyrene
None of these, if listed separately, would have been included in
the 20 highest priority sources. No work is in progress that
treats the whole group of resins as a class, but some helpful
reports have been published.
4-19
-------
• "Special Project Report on Petrochemical Plant Sites."
Report prepared by Monsanto Research Corporation for
lERL-Cincinnati and issued on April 15, 1976.
This report contains no text and is simply a computer-
generated listing of (1) petrochemical plant sites,
(2) material emitted and emission factors for each
source type, and (3) an estimate of the data quality.
Factors are given for each individual hydrocarbon spec-
ies. This report includes the following synthetic resins:
Acrylonitri1e-butadiene-styrene resin
Polycarbonate resins
Polyethylene resin - low density
Polyethylene resin - high density
Polyvinyl alcohol resins
In most instances, sufficient information is given to indi-
cate whether any methane is produced or whether all organics
are reactive. There are less than 20 plant sites for each
of the resins previously listed, so an elaborate study to
develop emission factors is not justified.
• "Source Assessment: Polyvinyl Chloride." Report prepared
by Monsanto Research Corporation under contract to IERL-
Cincinnati.
The draft version of the report was issued in August 1977.
Emission factors for vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride
are given on an individual plant basis for 35 plants.
Emission factors for 13 separate hydrocarbon species are
given for a representative plant.
4.15 ETHYLENE DICHLORIDE MANUFACTURE. ETHYLENE OXIDE MANUFACTURE
These two industries are discussed together because they
have identical priority rankings according to the system used.
Both industries have a relatively small number of individual
plant sites and might be ranked even lower because actual source
test results could be used instead of emission factors for com-
puting emissions. Ethylene dichloride manufacture is included
4-20
-------
1n the Monsanto report on Petrochemical Plant Sites previously
discussed, and process study reports are scheduled to be issued
under the Hydroscience contract during 1978.
4.16 DRYCLEANING
The current section in AP-42 was revised in April 1977, and
is based on reports published in 1976 and 1977. Emission factors
are rated B. No current studies have been identified, although
two drycleaning plants were among the sources tested by KVB, Inc.,
in their emission inventory of the South Coast Air Basin for the
California Air Resources Board.
4.17 NONPIPELINE TRANSFER OF PETROLEUM
The current section in AP-42 was revised in April 1977, and
includes reports published late in 1976. Factors are given for
loading of tank cars, trucks, tankers, and barges under a variety
of conditions. In addition, factors are given for ballasting of
tankers and for transit losses from tankers. No information is
given on reactive versus nonreactive organics, but these esti-
mations could be made by techniques applicable to any process
involving evaporative losses of petroleum. Some work is in pro-
gress that could lead to improvement in some of these factors.
• "Emissions From Ships, Ship Operation, and Transfer of
Oil in the South Coast Air Basin." Study in progress by
Scott Environmental Technology, Inc., for the California
Air Resources Board. The report will probably be issued
late in 1978.
In this report, the testing program is scheduled to in-
clude marine oil terminals, ship fuel docks, and marina
fuel docks. The study will include a detailed survey
of ship activities and movements with special emphasis
on loading and unloading operations. Hydrocarbon species
4-21
-------
will be measured, but the report will probably include
only the three reactivity classes as defined by the
California Air Resources Board. Probably the actual ana-
lytical results will be submitted also, so it should be
possible to calculate the factors for reactive and non-
reactive organics.
"Hydrocarbon Emissions From Tanker Loading Operations."
A study conducted by Chevron Research, Inc., for the
Western Oil and Gas Association.
This was a field study of eight tanker loading operations
with total hydrocarbons measured in all tests and indivi-
dual hydrocarbon species measured in selected tests. The
final report is still undergoing final review prior to
publication.
"Background Information on National and Regional Hydro-
carbon Emissions From Marine Terminal Transfer Operations,"
EPA-450/3-77-024, August 1977.
This report is concerned primarily with movements of
crude oil and gasoline on a national and regional scale.
It may contain information that is useful to someone
who is attempting to estimate emissions, but it does
not deal directly with emissions factors.
"Emissions From Ballasting." A study in progress by
ESED and scheduled for completion in 1978.
This study is monitored by the 831 committee and involves
testing carried out by industry in response to 114 letters.
It is not known whether a formal report will be issued,
but test data on hydrocarbons can be obtained by contact-
ing Dave Markwordt of ESED.
"Ship and Barge Transport of Gasoline and Crude Oil."
OAQPS Guideline Series scheduled for publication in
December 1978.
This is expected to be a summary of existing information
and may include tests that are in various files at EPA
but have not been formally published. The author of the
report will be Dave Markwordt, but there is a possibility
that plans may be changed and the report will not be pub-
lished.
4-22
-------
4.18 CHARCOAL MANUFACTURE
The current section in AP-42 was revised in April 1977, but
it is based on data published in 1967. The factors are rated C.
One relevant report has been issued since that time.
• "Source Assessment: Charcoal Manufacturing, State of the
Art." This was prepared by Monsanto Research Corporation,
under contract to lERL-Cincinnati.
This report is said to contain no new test results, but it
appears to include data that are not incorporated into
AP-42. The report also implies that the organic emissions
are 100-percent methane, but no description is given of
any tests or methods.
4.19 VEGETABLE OIL MANUFACTURE
. The current edition of AP-42 does not include a section on
vegetable oil manufacturing, and no recent or current studies of
the industry have been identified. The emission factor that was
used to estimate emissions for prioritization purposes is based
on a draft version of a 1971 document entitled "Background Infor-
mation for Establishment of National Standards of Performance
for New Sources, Vegetable Oil Industry." Apparently, a final
version of the report was never published. A report on vegetable
oil processing is scheduled for publication.
• "Vegetable Oil Processing." A control technology guide-
line document scheduled for publication by OAQPS in June
1978.
This report is expected to emphasize control technology
rather than emission factors.
4-23
-------
5.0 NEEDS NOT CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED
In this section of the report the deficiencies and omissions
discussed in Section 2.0 are compared with the accomplished and
current research summarized in Section 4.0 to determine whether
there are needs that are not currently being addressed. General
needs are listed first and are followed by specific needs arranged
by AP-42 section numbers.
• General Needs
There appears to be no systematic effort to present
hydrocarbon emission factors in a uniform format through-
out the entire volume. Emission factors for methane,
ethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichlorotrifluroethane,
and possibly benzene should be given along with factors
for total organics for each source type, and when such
information is unavailable some statement to that effect
should be made.
Although AP-42 users did not seem particularly concerned,
it was evident that the rating scheme for emission factors
(A, B, C, D, or E) was frequently confusing. The rating
seldom applies uniformly to factors for all pollutants,
and it would be more meaningful if each factor were given
a rating rather than applying a single rating to'an entire
table of factors. There seems to be no systematic effort
underway to change this practice.
• Section 1 - External Combustion Sources
None of the accomplished or current research will apparent-
ly provide emission factors for boilers that burn mixed
fuel such as coal/refuse or oil/refuse. No studies are
underway to provide factors for military fire-fighting
schools, but there may not be enough need for these factors
to justify a special study. It fs uncertain whether resi-
dential heaters of modern design will be tested 1n any of the
current research studies. There is certainly no large effort
underway to compare older and modern heaters.
5-1
-------
• Section 2 - Solid Waste Disposal
No needs were identified by AP-42 users so no gaps exist.
In the judgment of the authors of this report the practice
of labeling hydrocarbon factors as (CHj and (CgH..) in
some of the tables is not only unnecessary but also con-
fusing and should be discontinued.
• Section 3 - Internal Combustion Engine Sources
There may still be gaps left after the work in progress
by TRW/GCA for CPB, IERL-RTP is completed. At the time
of this writing, insufficient information was available
to tell, but needs exist for more information on duty
cycles as well as exhaust gas composition.
• Section 4 - Evaporation Loss Sources
There appears to be no systematic research in progress
to characterize the organic species emitted from after-
burners or incinerators used to control solvent emissions.
There may be sufficient data in widely scattered locations,
but a substantial effort would be required to collect all
of ft, and no such effort is in progress. Apparently no
changes in organization of this section of AP-42 are
contemplated that would facilitate discussion of vapor
balance systems as an integrated unit. Emissions from
small storage tanks found at bulk plants may not be
adequately addressed, but this cannot be determined
until reports of ongoing studies are issued.
• Section 5 - Chemical Process Industry
This area seems to be unique in that no needs were identi-
fied by AP-42 users, yet extensive studies are in progress
to furnish improved data.
• Section 6 - Food and Agricultural Industry
No work is underway to provide organic emission factors
for various agricultural drying operations or to provide
an AP-42 section on tobacco drying. No work was identi-
fied that would verify the existing factors for wine
making.
5-2
-------
• Section 7 - Metallurgical Industry
No work is in progress to develop organic emission factors
for secondary smelting operations, but these emissions
are believed to be very small and not of major concern
to AP-42 users.
• Section 8 - Mineral Products Industry
There appears to be no effort underway to correct the
apparent inconsistencies in the treatment of in-process
fuel in the brick, cement, and lime manufacturing sections.
• Section 9 - Petroleum Industry
The definitive field studies for this industry are still
in progress, so it is impossible to determine whether
gaps will still remain when these studies are completed.
Because of the importance of this industry, these study
results should be monitored carefully and incorporated
into revised AP-42 sections as soon as possible.
• Section 10 - Mood Processing
No needs were identified by AP-42 users, although it is
apparent that one cannot readily derive an emission
factor for total or reactive VOC from the factors as
listed for RSH, RSR, and RSSR, and the note which states
that these are usually expressed as sulfur.
• Section 11 - Miscellaneous Sources
Since the needs with respect to natural and quasi-natural
emissions have been evaluated elsewhere (Reference 6)
they are not summarized here. No other needs were
identified except possibly those related to military
firefighting schools which have already been mentioned
under Section 1 - External Combustion Sources.
The aforementioned listing is based on the assumption that
those who are engaged in preparing inventories for modeling pur-
poses do not wish to use AP-42 to obtain organic species break-
downs for each individual source type. It is anticipated that
Vol. II, "Emission Inventory Input for Photochemical Modeling,"
which is being prepared by PES as a companion to Vol. I,
5-3
-------
"Preparation of Emission Inventories for Volatile Organic
Compounds," will contain instructions for the modeler to start
with total organic emissions as calculated from AP-42 and
accomplish the required species breakdown from data provided in
Volume II.
5-4
-------
6.0 PLAN FOR UPDATING AP-42
The survey of current and accomplished research (Section 4.0)
indicated that several definitive field studies are underway and
will be completed between the spring of 1978 and the fall of 1979.
In addition, the>e are a number of AP-42 source categories that
require improved organization rather than additional field test
results to remedy their deficiencies. Finally, there are a num-
ber of AP-42 sections that are to be prepared by contractors as
part of their reporting requirements. Even though some of these
sources have low priority rankings, they should be added to AP-42
since minimal effort is required to do so. A plan is presented
in thfs section for accomplishing these tasks in an orderly man-
ner and is shown in tabular form in Table 6-1. Rough man-hour
estimates are also given in Table 6-1. It is assumed that addi-
tional literature searches will be made as a part of each of the
tasJcs listed herein.
6.1 TASKS FOR JANUARY THROUGH JUNE 1978
The following tasks are outlined for January through June
1978:
1. Start to prepare the following new sections of AP-42
a. Industrial Surface Coating (major revision and
expansion)

sources, such as leaking gas distribution systems,
seepage from oil fields, and other natural sources.
Try to develop emission factors for these natural and
quasi-natural sources.
5. Maintain contact within EPA regions to learn of new needs
for emission factors. It is anticipated that needs will
arise in connection with new source review — particu-
larly where sources are subject to the emissions offset
6-8
-------
policy. There have already been instances where a de-
veloper proposed to cut down a certain number of trees
to offset hydrocarbon emissions from a new source.
Proposals of this kind are expected to continue and may
require better emission factors for trees and other
natural sources.

16. ABSTRACT
This report was developed to provide a prioritized listing of needs for improved
organic emission factors and a synopsis of known projects underway, both within
EPA and externally, which will provide basic data resources to support such
improvements. A suggested outline of activities needed to accomplish these
improvements is also provided. The report is expected to be utilized as an
internal management tool, but also provides information which may be useful
to persons with specific interest in organic emissions.
