SUMMARY
The Emission Measurement Branch of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency contracted Roy F. Weston, Inc. to conduct a source testing and
analysis program at Occidental Chemical Company's Houston, Texas
Ammonium Sulfate Plant.
The primary objective of the testing program was to quantify the par-
ticulate emissions to the atmosphere from the Ammonium Sulfate Dryer
Baghouse Stack. This objective was achieved by performing a series of
three particulate tests utilizing EPA Method 5 procedures at the
baghouse exhaust stack location. In addition, visual determinations of
plume opacities were made simultaneously with each particulate test at
(2)
the source discharge point according to EPA Method 9 protocol.
The particulate matter emission results are summarized below:

1 Exhaust Stack 0.016 0. 16
2 Exhaust Stack 0.023 0.23
3 Exhaust Stack 0.026 0.25
No visible emissions were observed emanating from the baghouse exhaust
stack during the test program by the certified observer.
Detailed summaries of test data and test results are presented in Tables
1 and 2 of this report, respectively.

INTRODUCTION
The Emission Measurement Branch of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency contracted Roy F. Weston, Inc. to conduct a source testing and
analysis program at Occidental Chemical'Company1s Houston, Texas
Ammonium Sulfate Plant. The objective of the testing program was to
measure various emission parameters from Oxychem's Ammonium Sulfate
Dryer Baghouse.
The location tested, plus the number and types of tests performed at
the site are listed below:
1. Ammonium Sulfate Dryer Baghouse Exhaust Stack.
a. Three one-hour particulate tests by EPA Method 5-
b. Three opacity tests by EPA Method 9. Visual
determinations of plume opacities were determined
simultaneously with the particulate tests.
These tests were conducted on 26 October 1978 by Weston personnel. Tests
performed previously at the exhaust stack indicated emissions greater than
might be expected from a bag collector used in this application and were
attributed to leaking bag(s).
The baghouse inlet duct location was not tested during this period since most
of the internal area of the duct was filled with an irregular buildup of product
solids (which prevented representative sampling) as shown below:
Port Y
Port X
Blockage

-------
A decision was made not to test the inlet duct since the entire unit would
have been required to shut down to enable the duct to be cleaned.
Test data and test results of the outlet testing program are presented in
Tables 1 and 2 of this report, respectively. Also, incorporated herein is
a description of the test location, test equipment, test procedures, sample
recovery, and analytical methods used during the test program. Raw test
data, laboratory reports, sample calculations, equipment calibration data,
baghouse details, and a list of project participants are provided in
Appendices A through F, respectively.

DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS
Ammonium Sulfate Dryer
Anhydrous ammonia and sulfuric acid are combined to yield granular ammonium
sulfate at a rate of 1^ to 18 tons/hour. The heat of reaction causes
the desired moisture loss in the dryer to produce the final product. The
final product drops from the dryer and is then conveyed to storage. The
moist hot air from the dryer, which contains ammonium sulfate fines, is
drawn through a baghouse to effect additional product recovery while re-
ducing particulate emissions.
A schematic diagram of the Ammonium Sulfate Dryer and Baghouse is presented
in Figure 1.

DESCRIPTION OF TEST LOCATION
Ammonium Sulfate Dryer Baghouse Exhause Stack
Two 3" I.D. test ports were placed on one side of the 7-1/2" x 8-5/8"
rectangular exhaust stack serving the baghouse. The ports were located
15 diameters downstream and 10 diameters upstream from the nearest flow
disturbances. Since the eight and two diameter criterion were met, a
minimum of eight traverse points were required by EPA Method 1 regulations,
Figure 2 illustrates duct geometry plus port and sampling point locations.

DESCRIPTION OF SAMPLING TRAIN
Particulate Sampling Train
The test train utilized for particulate sampling at the baghouse exhaust
duct location was the standard EPA Method Five Train (see Figure 3)•
A stainless steel nozzle was attached to a heated (r\j250°F) 3' borosilicate
glass probe which was connected directly to a borosilicate filter holder
containing a V Reeve Angel 900 AF glass fiber filter. The filter holder
was maintained at approximately 250 F in a heated chamber, and was connected
by a section of borosilicate tubing to the first of four Greenburg-Smith
impingers which were included in the train to condense the moisture in the
gas stream. Each of the first two impingers contained 100 ml of distilled
water, the third was dry and the final impinger contained 200 grams of dry
pre-weighed silica gel. The first, third, and fourth impingers were modi-
fied Greenburg-Smith type; the second was a standard Greenburg-Smith impinger.
All impingers were maintained in a crushed ice bath. A RAC control console
with vacuum pump, dry gas meter, a calibrated orifice, and inclined manometers
completed the sampling train.
Flue gas temperature was measured by means of a Type K thermocouple which
was connected to a direct readout pyrometer. The thermocouple sensor was
positioned adjacent to the sampling nozzle.
Gas velocity was measured using a calibrated "S" type pitot tube provided with
extensions and fastened alongside the sampling probe. Gas stream composition
(carbon dioxide, oxygen, and carbon monoxide content) was determined utilizing
Orsat apparatus to analyze stack gas samples. Gas stream composition proved
to be ambient air since no combustion products were found in any of the stack
gas effluent samples.

TEST PROCEDURES
Preliminary Tests
Preliminary test data was obtained at the sampling location. Stack geometry
measurements were recorded and sampling point distances calculated. A pre-
liminary velocity traverse was performed utilizing a calibrated "S" type pitot
tube and a Dwyer inclined manometer to determine velocity profiles. Stack
gas temperatures were observed with a direct read-out pyrometer equipped with
a chromel-alumel thermocouple. Gas stream composition and moisture content
values were estimated from previous stack testing reports.
Preliminary test data was used for nozzle sizing and nomagraph set-up for
isokinetic sampling procedures.
Calibration of the probe nozzles, pitot tubes, metering systems, probe heaters,
temperature gauges and barometer were performed as specified in Section 5 of
EPA Method 5 test procedures (see Appendix E for calibration data).
Ammonium Sulfate Dryer Baghouse Exhaust Stack
A series of three EPA Method 5 tests were performed at the Ammonium Sulfate
Dryer Baghouse exhaust stack. Twelve points were traversed, six per port axis
for five minutes each yielding a test period 60 minutes in length.
During particulate sampling, gas stream velocities were measured by inserting
a calibrated "S" type pitot tube into the stream adjacent to the sampling
nozzle. The velocity pressure differential was observed immediately after
positioning the nozzle at each point, and sampling rates were adjusted to
maintain isokinetic sampling. Stack gas temperatures were also monitored at
each point with the pyrometer and thermocouple. Additional temperature
measurements were made at the final impinger and at the inlet and outlet of
the dry gas meter.
- 10 -
-------
Test data was recorded every five minutes during all test periods. Table
I presents a summary of test data for each of the three runs. Test result
summarization appears on Table 2.
Visible emissions observations were recorded concurrently with each par-
ticulate test repetition by a certified observer according to EPA Method 9
procedures. See Table 2 for result summary.
- 11 -
-------
ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
Particulate Sample Recovery
At the conclusion of each test, the sampling train was dismantled, openings
sealed, and the components transported to the field laboratory. Sample
integrity was assured by maintaining chain of custody records which will
be supplied upon request.
A consistent procedure was employed for sample recovery:
9 The glass fiber filter(s) was removed from its holder with
tweezers and placed in its original container (petri dish),
along with any loose particulate and filter fragments (Sample
1).
• The probe, and nozzle were separated and the internal par-
ticulate rinsed with distilled water into a borosi1icate-
container while brusting a minimum of three times until no •
visible particles remained. Particulate adhering to the
brush was rinsed with distilled water into the same container.
The front half of the filter holder was rinsed with distilled
water while brushing a minimum of three times. The rinses
were combined (Sample 2) and the container sealed with a
Teflon lined closure.
• The total liquid in impingers one, two and three was measured,
the value recorded, and the liquid discarded.
• The silica gel was removed from the last impinger and immediately
wei ghed.
• A distilled water sample was retained for blank analysis.
- 12 -
-------
Particulate Analyses
The filters (Sample 1) and any loose fragments were desiccated for 2A hours
and weighed to the nearest 0.1 milligram to a constant weight.
The distilled water wash samples (Sample 2) were evaporated at 105 C and
ambient pressure in tared beakers, and desiccated to constant weight. All
sample residue weights were adjusted by the water blank value.
The weight of the material collected on the glass fiber filter(s) plus the
weight of the residue of the nozzle/probe/front-half filter holder washes
represents the "total" EPA Method 5 catch. Complete laboratory results are
presented in Appendix B of this report.
- 13 -
-------
DISCUSSION OF TEST RESULTS
Particulate test data and test result summaries are presented in Tables 1
and 2 of this report.
No unusual process operating conditions were encountered during any of the
test periods.
The amount of particulate matter discharged to the atmosphere from the
baghouse was low (£ 0.026 grains/dscf and * 0.25 pounds/hour). The certi-
fied observer further corroborated the particulate test findings since no
visible emissions were recorded emanating from the stack during the test
program.

Dear Mr. O'Neill:
Please be advised that you successfully completed the
"Visible Emissions" course given June 1, 1978. You are
certified to evaluate visible emissions since you met the
standards described as Method 9 in the Federal Register of
November 12, 1974. These standards are:
1) To maintain an average deviation of less than
7.5% for a set of 25 white smoke plumes and a
set of 25 black smoke plumes.
2) To have no single reading of the 50 plumes to
be in error by more than 15%.
Sincerely,
Robert Jennings Heinsohn
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
