                           1.0 INTRODUCTION
          Testing to determine participate emissions from the Kerr-McGee
Chemical Corporation sodium carbonate plant was conducted by Scott Environ-
mental  Technology, Inc.  for the United States Environmental  Protection Agency
under Contract No. 68-02-2813, Work Assignment No.  34.   The  testing was con-
ducted  from July 16 through July 21, 1979 at the Kerr-McGee  plant in Trona,
California.
          Particulate control  systems on two processes  were  evaluated for
efficiency:
          o  Cyclone and venturi scrubber on the sodium carbonate
             predrier system
          o  Cyclone and electrostatic precipitation on the  sodium
             carbonate bleacher drier system
          Sampling locations used for each system are shown  in Figures 1 and 2
respectively.   These figures also present a general  description of each process
involved.
          Total  particulates were measured using EPA Reference Method #5 at the
inlet and outlet of control equipment controlling emissions  from the sodium
carbonate bleacher driers and sodium carbonate predriers. The particle size
distribution was also determined at each of the sampling locations using an
Andersen cascade impactor.   The opacity of the gas emitted from the bleacher
electrostatic precipitator and the predrier venturi  scrubber was monitored during
each test by a smoke reader.  Table 1 presents a summary of  test points sampled
and number of tests conducted at each test point.

          Results of the particulate tests  at the predrier cyclone inlet  no.  1
and cyclone inlet no. 2 are summarized below in Table  4.    Results from  the
predrier scrubber outlet are shown in Table  5.    The only available  sampling
locations at the cyclone inlets were in  ducts of non-uniform cross section  and
just following bends in the ducts. However,  the velocity distribution was very
uniform across the duct.  Due to a large amount of particulate build-up in  the
bottom of the ducts, sampling could not  be  performed at  the bottom sampling ports.
Run no. 1 at the scrubber outlet was stopped in the middle of the test due  to the
shutdown of one of the driers.  Although the stack was traversed in only  one
direction, the results are included.  As shown in the results, a significantly
lower gas flow rate was measured at the  scrubber outlet  during run no. 4.    The
data sheets show generally lower readings for all of the points and very  low
velocity  head  readings  for four of  the twelve sample points.  The results are shown
for run no. 4 with the points of very low velocity included and excluded.

          Results of the particle size analyses are shown in Tables 6 and
7 and Figure 3 for testing at the bleacher drier cyclone inlet no.  1, and
Tables 8 and 9 and Figure 4 for testing at the bleacher drier cyclone inlet
no. 2.  Results of the particle size analysis at the bleacher drier precipitator
outlet are shown in Table 10 and Figure 5.
          Results of the particle size analysis at the predrier cyclone .inlet
no. 1 are shown in Tables  11 through 13 and Figure 6, and results  at the
predrier cyclone inlet no. 2 are included in  Tables 14 through 16, and
Figure 7.  Particle size analysis for the predrier scrubber outlet  is shown in
Table 17 and Table 18, and Figure 8.
          Due to the very low particulate concentration at the bleacher
precipitator outlet, a very small particle size sample was collected during the
one hour sampling time.  A small sample was also collected during run no. 1 at
the predrier scrubber outlet.  Sampling during this run was stopped after 26
minutes due to the shut down of one of the predriers.  A larger sample was

          Results of the opacity readings taken at the bleacher drier
precipitator outlet are summarized in Tables 20 through 22.  Opacity
readings at the predrier scrubber outlet are shown in Tables 23 through
25.  No readings were taken during test run no. 3 at the scrubber outlet
since the run was made at night.  All readings were Q% opacity at both the
precipitator outlet and the scrubber outlet.  Opacity field data sheets are
included in Appendix C.

                 3.0 SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
          Presented in this section is a summary of sampling and analytical
procedures used during testing.  For further details the reader is referred  to
the description of each EPA Reference Method published in the Federal  Register.
3.1  SAMPLING PROCEDURES
     3.1.1  Selection of Sampling Location - EPA Method #1
          The sampling locations were selected in accordance with EPA Method #1.
This method requires that the sampling location be a minimum of two stack diameters
downstream and a half a diameter upstream from any flow disturbances.   This
method also allows the smallest stack diameter to be 12 inches.  For rectangular
ducts, an equivalent duct size is calculated.   The number of sampling points is
specified in the method, depending upon the length of undisturbed flow upstream
and downstream from the sampling location.  The number of sampling points varies
from eight to forty-eight.
          Each sampling location was selected  so as to provide the maximum length
of undisturbed flow upstream and downstream from the sampling locations and, thus,
the minimum number of required sampling points.  The number of sampling points at
each location was then selected based on EPA Method #1 criteria.
          o  Sodium Carbonate Predrier System - Figure 1 presents a description
          of the two inlet and one outlet sampling locations associated with
          the predrier.  A description of the  inlet  and outlet sampling points
          are presented in Figure 9.
          o  Sodium Carbonate Bleacher Drier System - Figure 2 presents a
          description of the two inlet and one outlet sampling locations associated
          with the bleacher drier.  A description of the inlet and outlet sampling
          points are presented in Figure 10.
     3.1.2  Measurement of Gas Volume Flow Rate - EPA Method #2
          The gas volume flow rate was measured at each sampling location in
accordance with EPA Method #2.  This method uses a Type S Pi tot tube and an  inclined
manometer to measure the velocity pressure, and a thermocouple to measure gas
temperature at each sampling point.
          Preliminary velocity measurements were made at each sampling location
followed by velocity measurements as a part of each particulate test run.
          The Pitot tubes used are within the  dimensional limitations of Method #2.
A calibration factor from 0.834 to 0.838 was used for the Pitots.

     3.1.3  Average Stack Gas Molecular Weight - EPA Method #3
          The average molecular weight of the stack gas during each test was
determined by Orsat analysis for C02 and 02 content of the stack gas in accordance
with EPA Method #4.
     3.1.4  Determination of Stack Gas Moisture Content - EPA Method #4
          Moisture content of the gases sampled was determined in accordance
with EPA Method #4 as part of the particulate sampling train.  Moisture in the
gas sampled was collected in impingers in an ice bath followed by silica gel.
The moisture collected was then measured volumetrically and gravimetrically.
     3.1.5  Determination of Particulate Emissions - EPA Method #5
          Particulate emissions were measured in accordance with EPA Method #5.
This method involves the isokinetic extraction of a sample from the gas stream
and collection of the particulate on a heated out-of-stack filter.  A dry gas
meter measures the volume of the gas sample.  Figure 11 shows a diagram of the
sampling train.
     3.1.6  Determination of Particle Size - Andersen Cascade Impactor
          The samples for particle size distribution at each sampling location
were collected using an Andersen 2000 cascade impactor.  The particles are
collected by impaction on a series of plates.  The plates have increasingly
smaller holes so that the velocity of the particles is increased from plate to
plate, and smaller and smaller particles are impacted.  The particulate weight
collected on each plate is determined gravimetrically.  The particle size
distribution is based on the equivalent aerodynamic size of the particles based
on spherical particles of 1 gram/cc density.
          Sampling and calculations of results were performed in accordance with
the operating manual published by Andersen 2000.  Figure 12 shows a diagram of
the sampling train.  The impactor was used out-of-stack at the inlet sampling
locations due to the small diameter of these ducts.  For this arrangement, a
short probe was installed between the nozzle and cascade impactor.   Figure  13
shows a stage diagram of the Andersen head.
     3.1.7  Determination of Visible Emissions - EPA Method #9
          Visible emissions were monitored by determining the smoke density using
EPA Method #9.  This method involves the measurement of smoke density by a smoke
reader who has been previously certified against smoke measured by an opacity
meter calibrated with neutral density filters.

3.2  ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
     3.2.1  Particulate Emissions - EPA Method #5
          Participate emissions were determined gravimetrically in accordance
with EPA Method #5.  Prior to testing, absolute participate filters we're .desicated,
weighed and sealed in a container for transporting.  Upon completion of field
testing, each filter was desicated and reweighed to determine the amount of
particulate collected.
     3.2.2  Particulate Size - Andersen Cascade Impactor
          Participate size distributions were determined gravimetrically using
Andersen cascade impactor substrates.  Each substrate was prepared and analyzed
using a method identical to that described for EPA Method #5 particulate filters.
