SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
Under the Clean Air Act of 1970, the Environmental Protection
Agency is given the responsibility of establishing performance
standards for new installations or modifications to existing in-
stallations in stationary source categories. As a contractor,
Monsanto Research Corporation (MRC), under the Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) "Field Collection, Testing, and Analy-
sis of Emissions" program, was asked to provide data from the
Louisville Gas and Electric Company's Cane Run Plant in
Louisville, Kentucky.
The field test work was directed by Dennis Holzschuh, Emission
Measurement Branch, EPA. The sampling was performed by Monsanto
Research Corporation with Mark Thalman as team leader.
This report tabulates the data collected from the effluent of
the #4 coal fired boiler. The waste gases from the boiler are
directed through an electrostatic precipitator where it exits
and branches into two separate ducts. Both ducts act as inlets
to the scrubber. The effluent of the scrubber is then directed
to the base of the main stack and vented to the atmosphere.
Sampling was performed on both scrubber inlets and the scrubber
outlet. All sites were measured for total particulate concentra-
tion, sulfuric acid mist concentration and trace metal concentra-
tion according to procedures described in the Federal Register,
Methods 1-5, 8 and 17. The data from this study will be used
-------
in consideration of a revised new source performance standards
for particulate emissions from steam generators.
Modifications were necessary to prepare the ducts for sampling.
These are described in Section IV, "Location of Sampling Points",
The following sections of this report include: (1) sample train
configurations, (2) summary of results, (3) sampling point
locations, (4) discussion of the field work, and (5) sampling
and analytical procedures.
-------
SECTION II
SAMPLE TRAIN CONFIGURATIONS
This section describes the individual sample train configuration
for testing at Louisville Gas and Electric. All sample trains
are described in the order of the direction of gas stream flow
through the train.
It should be noted that the runs are labeled in all subsequent
tables and discussions by the designations R, S, T, U, V, W, X,
Y and Z. The first run for the 'R1 sample train is designated as
1-R, second run 2-R, and so on.
The temperatures quoted in these train descriptions are average
temperatures for all three runs. However, there was not a great
deviation (±10%) from the stated average temperature.
See Appendix F for a breakdown of the sample trains and an analy-
ses schematic. These diagrams were used in the field as an aid
for cleaning the sample train.
Figures 1 and 2 show the schematics of sample trains and the
locations sampled.

SAMPLE TRAIN 'R'
This sample train consisted of a probe tip, a Method 17 in-stack
filter and filter holder, probe, flex-line, condenser, silica
gel impinger, Method 5 console, and pump. The in-stack filter
was not heated and thus was sampled at an average stack tempera-
ture of 152°C (305°F). The probe and flex-line were not heated,
however, all condensate from the probe and flex-line were drained
into the condenser and measured for determination of the stack
gas moisture.
The sampling location for the 'R' train was the scrubber inlet
duct 'A' which is on the North side. The probe traversed the
stack through two ports and isokinetic sampling was maintained.
The probe tip and front half of the filter holder were washed
three times with acetone, and the filter placed in a petri dish
for return to the lab for total particulate by gravimetric
analysis and particulate trace metal analysis.
SAMPLE TRAIN 'S'
This sample train was identical to the 'R' sample train except it
was run on the scrubber inlet duct 'B' which is on the South
side. The average temperature of the in-stack Method 17 filter
was 177°C (350°F). The cleanup procedure was also the same as
the 'R1 sample train. The probe also traversed the stack and
isokinetic sampling was maintained.
SAMPLE TRAIN 'T'
This train consisted of a probe tip, a Method 17 in-stack filter
and filter holder, probe, a Method 5 out-of-stack filter and
filter holder (with a Type K thermocouple insert to monitor the
-------
gas stream temperature in the out-of-stack filter holder), a
polypropylene flex-line, condenser, silica gel impinger, Meth-
od 5 console, and pump.
The Method 17 in-stack filter was -not heated and thus stayed at
an average stack temperature of 73°C (164°F) during the runs.
The probe and Method 5 filter holder were heated to a tempera-
ture greater than 100°C (212°F) to keep the moisture in the gas
stream in vapor form until it reaches the Method 5 filter. Af-
ter the Method 5 filter, the gas passed through the polypropylene
flex-line to the condenser where the moisture was condensed from
the gas stream before going on to the Method 5 console and pump.
Any moisture which condensed in the polypropylene flex-line was
drained into the condenser before the net gain in water was de-
termined. This condensate was measured for the moisture deter-
mination only and required no analysis.
The sampling location was the scrubber outlet stack 'C'. Due to
large diameter (16' 10") of the scrubber outlet at the sample
site, half of the stack was traversed through each of four dif-
ferent ports.
Separate analyses were run on the: (1) Method 17 filter, probe
tip and filter holder wash and (2) Method 5 filter, probe and
filter holder wash for total particulate by gravimetric analysis
and particulate trace metal analysis.
SAMPLE TRAIN 'U'
This sample train consisted of a probe tip, Method 17 in-stack
filter and filter holder, probe, Method 5 filter and filter
holder (with a Type K thermocouple insert to monitor gas stream
temperatures), three impingers of 80% isopropyl alcohol (100 ml
in each), one silica gel impinger and a Method 5 console and
pump.
7
-------
The Method 17 in-stack filter was not heated and thus stayed at
a stack temperature of 124°C (255°F). The probe and Method 5
filter holder were heated to a temperature greater than 100°C
(212°F) to keep the moisture and sulfuric acid mist in vapor
form until it reaches the three impingers of isopropyl alcohol,
where the acid mist will be trapped for analysis. The impingers
were weighed (because 100 milliliters of isopropyl alcohol and
100 milliliters of water mixed together do not yield 200 milli-
liters of liquid, but something less) before and after the run
to determine the net gain in water for the moisture determina-
tion. The impinger solutions are transferred to a Whea.ton bot-
tle. The impingers and flex-line were washed with 3 rinses of
isopropanol and added to the impinger solutions for analysis.
All other parts of the train, excluding the filters, are washed
with three rinses of acetone. Separate analyses were run on the
(1) Method 17 filter, probe tip and filter holder wash, and
(2) Method 5 filter, probe and filter holder wash for particulate
gravimetric analysis followed by a titration of the particulate
for sulfuric acid mist and/or sulfur trioxide.
The location of the sample train was at the North side of the
scrubber inlet (duct 'A'). The sampling was performed at a
single point of average stack velocity.
SAMPLE TRAIN 'V
This sample train consisted of a probe tip, Method 17 in-stack
filter and filter holder, probe, Method 5 filter and filter
holder (with a special designed heating mantle for high temper-
atures and a Type K thermocouple insert to monitor the gas stream
temperature), heated flex-line, 3 impingers filled with 100 mil-
liliters of isopropanol, one silica gel impinger and a Method 5
console and pump.
-------
The Method 17 in-stack filter was not heated and stayed at an
average stack temperature of 172°C (342°F). The probe and
Method 5 filter holder were heated to maintain a temperature of
235°C (455°F) at the thermocouple insert in the Method 5 filter
holder. The heated flex-line was kept above 100°C (212°F) to
keep the sulfuric acid mist and the moisture in vapor form until
it reached the three impingers of alcohol where the acid mist
as trapped for analysis. The impingers were weighed (as pre-
viously explained) and the solutions transferred to a Wheaton
bottle. The impingers and flex-line were washed with three
rinses of isopropanol and added to the impinger solutions for
analysis.
All other parts of the train, excluding the filters, were washed
with three rinses of acetone. Separate analyses were run on the
(1) Method 17 filter, probe tip wash, and filter holder wash and
(2) Method 5 filter, probe wash and filter holder wash for total
particulate by gravimetric analysis followed by a titration of
the particulate for sulfuric acid mist and/or sulfur trioxide.
The location of sample train 'V was at the South side of the
scrubber inlet (duct 'B'). The sampling was performed at a
single point of average velocity.
SAMPLE TRAIN 'W
This sample train consisted of a probe tip, Method 17 in-stack
filter and filter holder, probe, three impingers of 80% isopropa-
nol (100 milliliters in each), one silica gel impinger, Method 5
console, and pump.
The Method 17 in-stack filter was not heated and stayed at the
average scrubber outlet stack temperature of 67°C (153°F). The
probe was heated to a temperature greater than 100°C (212°F) to
-------
keep the acid mist and moisture in vapor form until it reached
the impingers.
The impingers were weighed for moisture determination and the
solutions transferred to a Wheaton bottle. The impingers and
probe were washed with three rinses of isopropanol and added to
the impinger solutions for analysis for sulfuric acid mist and/
or sulfur trioxide.
The probe tip and filter holder were washed with three rinses of
acetone. This wash and the Method 17 filter were subjected to a
total particulate by gravimetric analysis followed by a titra-
tion of the particulate for sulfuric acid mist and/or sulfur
trioxide.
The location of sample train 'W was at the scrubber outlet "C1.
The sampling was performed at a single point of average veloc-
ity. The probe of sample train 'W was attached parallel to the
probe of sample train 'X1. Both trains were operated at approx-
imately the same sample point in the stack. The probe tips were
about 4 inches apart and were separated only by the pitot tube,
which measured the velocity for both sample trains 'W and 'X'.
SAMPLE TRAIN 'X'
This train consisted of a probe tip, probe, Method 5 filter and
filter holder, with a Type K thermocouple insert to monitor gas
stream temperature, three impingers of 80% isopropanol (100 mil-
liliters in each), one silica gel impinger, a Method 5 console,
and pump.

SECTION III
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
For this project, sampling was performed at three different lo-
cations. Since there were two inlet locations, -the North inlet
was called duct A and the South inlet duct B. The outlet duct
was called duct C. Runs were labeled R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y
and Z, with three runs being completed for each letter (with the
exception of Y). Section II, Sample Train Configurations, de-
scribes each run and what they were analyzed for.
Tables 1 and 2 summarize all the particulate data. Tables 3 and
4 summarize all the sulfuric acid mist/sulfur trioxide emissions.
The results of the coal analysis are shown in Table 5. The total
solids for the scrubber water are shown in Table 6. A summary
and daily schedule of the run times are shown in Tables 7 and 8.
Tables 9 through 26 show the particulate emissions expressed in
both metric and English units.
Visible emissions data and trace metals analysis results are
contained in Appendices E and I.

SECTION IV
LOCATION OF SAMPLING POINTS
The sampling plan and process configuration called for testing
at three locations. These locations included two scrubber in-
lets and one scrubber outlet stack.
The two inlets to the scrubber consisted of two horizontal, cir-
cular ducts originating from the ESP. Both ducts were 10' 6"
I.D. with ports made from 8" long pipe nipples at 45° to the
vertical on the underside of the duct. The ducts continued to
the scrubber. The inlet sampling ports (3" I.D.) were located
approximately 20" (two diameters) downstream from a slight bend
and approximately 5' (0.5 diameters) upstream from a bend. Both
inlet locations required scaffolding to be built. This scaf-
folding, built by Louisville G&E, was erected to allow movement
between the two ports on each duct and also between the two in-
let ducts. A sketch of the top and side views of the inlet
locations is shown in Figure 3. Traversing at these locations
used the maximum number of points per traverse, (24) were used
at each port. Sampling at the initial two traverse points at
the beginning of the traverse proved difficult due to the length
of the probe and due to the small opening cut into the scaffold-
ing, therefore, occasionally these points were omitted.
The gases from the scrubber are vented through a vertical, circu-
lar chimney approximately 200' high. Four sampling ports lo-
cated at 90° to -each other were located at approximately the 100'
level. A steel platform encircles the stack at this 100' level

provided access to each port. The platform was accessible by
climbing a caged ladder up the side of the stack.
The inside diameter of the stack at the 100' level is 16' 10V
making the sampling location six diameters downstream and six
diameters upstream from any disturbances. The ports were 13" in
length and 4" in diameter. Due to the large diameter of the
stack, the ports were utilized to traverse only one-half of the
diameter of the stack. Four traverse points were sampled at
each port for a total of 16 traverse points. A sketch of the
stack and location of the ports is shown in Figure 4.
Several modifications in the scaffolding were made by Monsanto
Research personnel to facilitate safe sampling. At all locations
wire mesh was put along the scaffolding rails to prevent any
equipment from falling through the rails onto the ground. At the
inlet to the scrubber, four holes were cut in the floor of the
scaffolding to enable the probe to be first pushed through the
floor, then up into the ports. It was also necessary to modify
the ports at the inlet locations. The welding of the nipples
onto the ducts created a welding bead on the inside of the nip-
ples. This bead prevented the probes from entering the duct.
It was necessary to grind the bead away with hand grinders which
proved to be rather difficult and time consuming. Personnel
were required to wear trailing air masks and heat resistant
clothing and gloves to avoid exposure to the high temperature,
high SC>2 content gases that were escaping from the positive
pressure duct.

SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
Sample trains 'R' and 'S' were run for participate analysis by
EPA Method 17 and were the only "pure" sample trains with no de-
viations from the stated method. All other sample trains were a
combination of EPA Method 5 and/or EPA Method 8 and/or EPA
Method 17.
Changes in the sample train configurations are discussed in
Section II and diagrams of the changes are shown in Appendix F.
The following describes the three methods used.
SAMPLING PROCEDURES
Particulate (Method 5)
Sampling for particulates were performed using the method out-
lined in the Federal Register/ Method 5, "Determination of Par-
ticulate Emissions from Stationary Sources".
Particulate (Method 17)
Sampling for particulates were performed using the method out-
lined in the Federal Register, Method 17, "Determination of Par-
ticulate Emissions from Stationary Sources (In-stack Filtration
Method)".

Sulfuric Acid Mist and Sulfur Trioxide
Sampling for sulfuric acid mist and sulfur trioxide were per-
formed using the method outlined in the Federal Register, Method
8, "Determination of Sulfuric Acid Mist and Sulfur Dioxide Emis-
sions from Stationary Sources".
Since sulfer dioxide was not to be measured, no impingers con-
taining 30% hydrogen peroxide were used, but only three impingers
of isopropanol (100 milliliters in each) for collection of the
sulfuric acid mist and sulfur trioxide.
Visible Emissions
Opacity measurements were taken and recorded on the scrubber
outlet stack during the runs. Data summary sheets and field
data sheets are included in Appendix E "Field Visible Emission
Data Sheets". The opacity measurements were performed using the
method outlined in the Federal Register, Method 9, "Visual De-
termination of the Opacity of Emissions from Stationary Sources".
ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
Particulate
All analytical procedures were performed using the method de-
scribed in EPA Methods 5 and 17, previously mentioned in the
Sampling Procedures section.
Sulfuric Acid Mist and Sulfur Trioxide
Some fractions of the sampling train were analyzed for particu-
late followed by analysis for sulfuric acid mist and sulfur tri-
oxide. This was accomplished by taking the desiccated filters

and dried particulate matter (after a final particulate weight
had been obtained) diluting with 80% isopropanol to a known
volume and titrating an aliquot of that known volume with barium
perchlorate using a thorin indicator as EPA Method 8 describes.
Trace Metals
Some particulate fractions of the samples were analyzed for
trace metals. After final weights were obtained on the particu-
lates and filters, the fractions were digested with nitric acid
and analyzed for trace metals by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
(AAS) and inductively coupled arc plasma (ICAP).
Coal
Analysis of the feed coal samples were performed using ASTM
designation D271 "Laboratory Sampling and Analysis of Coal and
Coke". The results of these analyses are presented in Table 5
"Summary of Coal Analysis".
A complete description of the analytical procedures is presented
in Appendix G.
