                            1.  INTRODUCTION
     During the week of June 4th, 1979, a two member test crew conducted a
material balance test at Plaza Cleaners, Northvale, New Jersey.  The material
balance test was conducted on a commercial perchloroethylene machine and
refrigerated condenser manufactured by Neil and Spencer Limited and distrib-
uted by Spencer America, Inc., of St. Louis, Missouri.   The purpose of the
testing was to establish the effectiveness of controlling perchloroethylene
emissions by application of a refrigerated condenser reclaimer.  This location
had installed one of the few operational units of this  type.  The test
request called for a material balance with process parameter recordings, 12
integrated bag samples at the inlet and outlet from the  refrigerated condenser,
flow and temperature measurements, and vapor leak detection.
     Section 2.0 summarizes the testing results.   Section 3.0 details equipment
specification of the process investigated.  Section 4.0 discusses the diffi-
culties encountered pursuant to the testing objectives.  Appendix A contains
field data sheets utilized during the week of testing.   Appendix B details
the testing procedures  utilized for testing.

-------
                         2.0  SUMMARY OF RESULTS
     Table 2.1 highlights the information collected for the purpose of a mass
balance.  The net usage of solvent for the duration of the test was 10.2
liters (2.7 gallons).  The plant throughput was 427 kilograms (943 pounds).
Based on these figures, the mass loss rate from the drycleaning unit was 3.85
pounds of perchloroethylene per hundred pounds of clothes cleaned.1  The cal-
culated mileage was 18162 pounds of clothes per 52-gallon drum of solvent.  It
should be understood that these figures are approximations based upon a limited
input of data.  The accuracy of this data is discussed more completely in
Section 4.0 of this report.
     Table 2.2 summarizes the analytical data collected from the integrated
bag samples.  The average removal efficiency for twelve (12) integrated bag
sampling runs was 14.1%.  This represents a removal efficiency, which was
lower than the anticipated results.
     Because the results were lower than anticipated, a theoretical estima-
tion of removal efficiency was calculated in Section 4.0 (Discussion) based
on a multiple pass system.  Based on the information derived from the limited
mass balance study, the calculated solvent mileage (18162) and mass loss rate
(3.85) figures indicate a good overall performance for a commercial dryclean-
ing machine at this location.

     Based on this limited testing information and field observation, an
application of a single pass refrigerated condenser reclaimer (similar to the
Spencer Unit tested) to a coin-operated perchloroethylene drycleaning
machine to control emissions would be inappropriate at this time.  Applica-
tion may be applicable upon redesign of the resolver, which would permit the
resolver reclaimer system to attain an optional removal efficiency approach-
ing the levels indicated by the theoretical estimate based on a multiple pass
system (+99%).	
  Weight of clothes measured as dirty clothes before cleaning.

-------
     Tables 2.3 and 2.4 summarizes velocity and temperature measurements,
 respectively.  The velocity measurements tabulated in the appendix and
 summarized in Table 2.3 were consistent during the testing.  The velocity
 averaged 6.5 meters per second  (21.2 fps) which calculates to an average
 flowrate of 7.1 cubic meters per minute (250 cfm).  Table 2.4 lists the
 temperature profile of the resolver for two sampling runs.  The profile shows
 an approximate temperature drop of 15°C (590F) at the start of the dry-
 cleaning machine-to-resolver venting cycle.  This venting cycle is pre-
 programmed by means of an operations card and was a consistent five minutes
 in duration.
     The only process parameter that varied from one drycleaning cycle to
 another was the weight of the clothes processed per load.  Table 2.5 is a
 summary of the plant throughput data during the test period.  The operator
 measured the weight of every load and logged this value on a tabulation record
 which is contained in the appendix of this report.  (Table A.I)
     Vapor leak detection was undertaken during the test program on a limited
 scale.  Prior testing had indicated the effectiveness of a limited number of
 inexpensive leak detection monitors.2  Based on this information, an HLD-440
 manufactured by TIP Manufacturing was used to screen the drycleaning machine,
 the resolver, and associated ducting.  The HLD-440 is a portable, battery-
 operated electronic halogen gas detector.   The complete manufacturer's operating
 instructions are included in Appendix B for reference.  The halogen leak  detec-
tor provides  a ticking signal,  which  accelerated  in  frequency  as  a  vapor  leak
was encountered.   The HLD-440 instrument indicated four significant solvent
vapor leaks from the drycleaning machine.   The vapor leaks  were  located at
 the muck drain valve, the water separator lid, the valve activated during the
 aeration cycle (which allows venting of the drycleaning machine to the
 resolver), and a liquid solvent leak located at the base of the dryer drum.
 Concentration measurements were not determined on any of the vapor leaks
 identified by the screening with the HLD-440 because such a determination was
 beyond the scope of task assignment.   The sensitivity as  a mass rate emission
 of the HLD-440 was specified by the manufacturer as  one-half ounce per year.3

-------
                        3.0  PROCESS DESCRIPTION
     This section details the equipment use in the drycleaning operation at
Plaza Cleaners.  The perchloroethylene drycleaning process consisted of two
pieces of equipment; a commerical dry-to-dry perchloroethylene drycleaning
machine and a refrigerated condenser reclaimer.  The drycleaning machine had
a rated capacity of 30 kg (65 Ibs).  General purpose drycleaning was processed
by the subject machine at a yearly throughput note of 22220 kilograms per
year (49036 Ibs/yr).  The subject machine was the only drycleaning unit at
this plant location.  The plant was estimated to be five (5) years old, while
the drycleaning machine and resolver were six (6) months old at the time of
the test period.
     The refrigerated-condenser reclaimer, called a resolver by the manufac-
turer, was designed to serve the 30 kg (65 Ib) machine.  The resolver at this
location was designated as a MAJOR, due to the fact that its refrigerated
bed had twice the volume than its sister model, the MINOR.
     The specifications of the drycleaning machine are listed in Table 3.1 as
supplied by the manufacturer.  Table 3.2 lists the specifications for the
resolver.  Figure 3.3 illustrates the layout and configuration of the system.
Sampling locations for flue gas, velocity and temperature measurements are
indicated.  Figures 3.4 and 3.5 are exterior and functional interior diagrams
of the control equipment, respectively.  All tables and figures utilized in
this section were adapted from Spencer America supplied literature.

                             4.0  DISCUSSION
     Several areas of the test program require further elaboration.  These
areas include validity of the perch!oroethylene concentration measurement,
the accuracy of the measurements utilized for the mass balance summary, and
the calculated efficiency of the resolver-reclaimer.
     The analytical results summarized in Table 2.2 were measured with a
Beckman 402 Hydrocarbon Analyzer.  Due to the fact that perchloroethylene was
by far the predominate constituent of the flue gas, no separation of constit-
uents, by gas chromatography, was necessary.  The instrument employs a flame
ionization detector (FID) to measure the perchloroethylene concentration as
total hydrocarbons.  The instrument was calibrated with a certified standard
of perchloroethylene in air (92 ppm).  The standard certificate is contained
in Appendix C.
     The instrument drift in the field was considerable.  The summary of the
baseline drift and the standard drift were recorded for each sampling run and
are recorded in Table 2.2.   The instrument drift in total was expressed as a
percentage of chart scale.   The hydrocarbon analyzer was set on range selec-
tion of X10 for zeroing and standard spanning.  All instrument drift readings
were taken on this range setting.  The integrated bag samples were analyzed
on the X5000 range.  Normal and preferred analytical procedure required
either a higher concentration standard or dilution of the integrated bag
sample with a known volume  of nitrogen.  The equipment necessary to implement
either of these preferred procedures was not available on-site and was not
anticipated from preliminary information.  The drift of the instrument was
greater than anticipated based upon previous testing experience.  A contami-
nated detector was suspected.  Subsequent post-field instrument diagnosis
indicated no substantial problem with the detector.  After adequate zeroing
with instrument grade air,  the hydrocarbon analyzer performed adequately.
Therefore, the conclusion can be reached that the higher concentrations of
perc (10,000 to 25,000 ppm) were the major factors in causing instrument
                                       15

-------
drift.  Based upon the instrument drift and the variability of data as
presented in Table 2.2, the validity of data as generated was definitely
suspect.  It is recommended that future testing plans consider appropriate
testing alternatives.
     The measurements associated with the mass balance portion of the test
program were relatively basic.  The weight of the clothes cleaned was measured
to an estimated accuracy of i five (5) kilograms (2.5 Ibs).  The liquid
measurements were estimated to be accurate to + 10 ml (1/3 oz).  The scale
utilized was not calibrated and its ability to weigh accurately the clothes
according to generally accepted scientific norms was nominal.  In order to
increase the accuracy of the mass balance data, an unreasonable time and
financial burden would have been incurred.
     The measured efficiency of the resolver-recl aimer was less than antici-
pated.  The efficiency reported in the summary represents a limited efficiency,
(14%).  The sample was taken over half of the aeration cycle.  Due to the fact
that the system was closed, the gas volume within the system was continuously
circulated throughout the course of the aeration venting cycle.  Therefore, it
can be reasoned that the recovery efficiency of the resolver for perchloro-
ethylene may have been slightly greater than reported on the basis of the
actual testing data, but not significantly to invalidate the test results.

     An estimated theoretical  efficiency of the resolver, based on actual
test measurements and equipment specifications from the manufacturer's
literature, consequently is discussed below.

          GIVEN the following information:
             1) V = 34.9 ft3
             2) Q = 250 cfm
             3) Dv= 5 min
AND using the equation:

WHERE:
                            E0 = 1-
                            Y = Single pass removal  efficiency
                            X = Number of air changes during the
                                venting cycle.
                                         16

-------
                  V = Volume of system in cubic feet (ft^)
                  Q = Flowrate (average) through the system in
                      cubic feet per minute (cfm)
                  Dv= Duration of venting cycle in minutes (min)

     The upper limit of the theoretical efficiency of the resolver utilizing
this limited and possibly biased set of inputs was calculated as 99.5% for
the test period considering an average dryer aeration/cycle of five (5)
minutes.
     This estimate is in need of further justification by further testing and
more accurate testing, exact measurements of the internal volume of the
drycleaning machine and the resolver, and modification of the programmed
duration of the aeration cycle to adequately gauge the influence of time upon
removal efficiency of the resolver.

                ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE - PERCHLOROETHYLENE
     The following procedure was used to analyze the inlet and outlet
integrated bag samples at Plaza Cleaners test site.  Figure B.I is a schematic
of the hydrocarbon analyzer.  A Beckman 402 Hydrocarbon analyzer was used in
the field van while on site.  Aluminized gas sampling bags were transported
to the van for analysis immediately after sampling.  The hydrocarbon analyzer,
which operates on the principle of flame ionization, was calibrated with a
92 ppm standard and a zero standard prior to and after every sample run.  The
range used for the calibration was X10 and the range used for analysis was
X5000.  The sample and standard were introduced to the FID analyzer by means
o.f an auxiliary pump from a gas sampling bag.  A 40% hydrogen in helium and
THC-free air were the gases used to fuel the instrument.  The sample, air,
and fuel pressures were regulated at 2, 10, 20 pounds per square inch (psig),
respectively.

                   VELOCITY  AND FLOWRATE  DETERMINATION  PROCEDURE

       The  velocity  and flowrate  determinations conducted on-site were  performed

in accordance to EPA  reference  Method  1  and  Method 2,  (text  following)  with

modifications implemented  to  compensate  for  the  small diameter  (6-inch)  duct

where the  velocity profile was  taken.   The modifications  in  the standard

procedure  included the  use of a small   (9-inch) S-type pi tot  tube and  a  sepa-

rate  thermocouple  to  measure  the  flue  gas  temperatures.    These  modifications

were  implemented in accordance  with  recommended  protocol.3

1. Principle and Applicability

  l.l  Principle. The average gas velocity In a stack Is
determined from the gas dcnfily and from measurement
of the average velocity head with a Type S (Statissclielbo
or reverse type) pilot luuo.
  1.2  Applicability. This method Is applicable  for
measurement of the average velocity of a gas stream and
for quantifying gas now.
 • This procedure Is not applicable at measurement sites
which full to ni'jct  the criteria of Method I, Section 2.1.
Also, the method cannot bi* used Tor direct measurement
In cyclonic or swirling pas streams; Section 2.4 of Alclhod
1 shows how to determine cyclonic or swirling How con-
ditions. When unacceptable conditions exist, alternative
procedures, subject to the approval of the Administrator,
U.S. Envlronnipi'tM Protection Agency,  must be em-
ployed to m.ike accurate  (low  rale determinations:
examples of such alternative procedures arc: (1) to Install
straightening vane;; (2) to calculate the total volumetrlo
flow rate sloic!>inmftric»Ily, or (.1) to move to another
measurement site al which the flow 1s acceptable.

                             manometer  and pilot tube may be used to dampen Ap
                             fluctuations. It Is recommended,  but not required, that
                             a pretest leak-check be conducted, as follows: (I) blow
                             through the pilot Impact  opening until at loasl 7.8 cm
                             (3 in.) IIiO vuloclly pressure registers on Ihe manometer;
                             then, close olf the Impact opening. Tho pressure shall
                             remain stable for at least 15 seconds; (2) do the same, for
                             the static pressure side, except using snclIon to obtain
                             the minimum of 7.6 cm (3 in.) HiO. Olhcr leak-check

 Ihe Type S pilot lube in lop. side, and end views lo verify thai
 Ihe face openings of the lube are aligned within the speci-
 fications illustrated in Figure 2-2 or 2-3. The pilot lube shall not
 he used if it fails lo meet these alignment specifications.
  After verifying the face opening alignment, measure and
 record the following dimensions of Ihe pilot tube: (a) the exter-
                           nal tubing diamclcr (dimension 1),. f igurc 2-2b); and (b) the

                           two possible options: (I) the pilot tube may be calibrated accor-
                           ding to the procedure outlined in Scc:ions 4.1.2 through 4.I.S
                           below, or (2) a baseline (isolated lube) coefficient value of 0.84
                           may be assigned lo Ihe pilot fibe. No:e. however, lhat if Ihe
                           pilot lube is pan of an assembly  calibration may still be re-
                           quired, despite knowledge of the baseline coefficient value (set
                           Section 4.1.1).
                             If DI. PA. and Pit are outside the specified limits. Ihe pilot
                           lube must be calibrated as outlined in 4.1.2 through 4.1.5
                           below.
                             4.1.1-Type S  Pilot Tube Assemblies. During sample and
                           velocity traverses, the Isolated Type S pilot lube is not always
                           used; in many instances, the pilot lube is used in combination
                           with other source-sampling components (thermocouple, sampl-
                           ing probe, noz/le) as pan of an "assembly." The presence of
                           otner smapling components can sometimes affect Ihe baseline
                           value of the Type S pilot lube coefficient (Citation 9 in Section
                           6): therefore an assigned (or otherwise known) baseline coeffi-
'cicril value may or may not be valid for a given assembly. The
 baseline and assembly coefficient valun will be identical only
 when the relative placement of Ihe components in Ihe assembly
 Is such lhat aciodvnamn; Interference effects are eliminated.
 Figures 2-6 through 2-3 illustrate interference-free component
 arrangements for Tspe S pilot tubes having external lubing
 diameters between (MS and 0.95 cm (3/16 and J/8 in.). Type S
 pilot tube assemblies thai fail to meet any or all of the specifica-
 tions of Figure* 2-6 through 2-8 shall be calibrated according lo
 Ihe procedure outlined In Sections 4.1.2 through 4.1.) below,
 •nd prior to calibration, the values of Ihe intercomponent snac-
 Ings (pilot-no*lie. pilot-thermocouple, pilot-probe sheath) snail
 be measured and recorded.
  NOTE .—Do not u « any Type S pilot lube assembly which Is
 constructed such lhai the impact pressure opening plane of Ihe
 pilot lube b below the entry plane of the nozzle (sec Figure
 5-6b).
  4.1.2 Calibration Setup. If the Type S phot lube is lo be
 calibrated, one leg of the tube shall be permanently marked A,

  4.1.2.1  Th« flowing gas stream must bo confined to a
duct of definite cross-sect tonal area, either circular or
M^™i ensure the presence of stable, fully developed flow
p,   crns at the calibration sitr. or "test section," ttio
it   laust be located at least pk:ht diameters downstream
a.... two diameters up-:ln-nm from the nearest disturb-
ances.
 NOTE.—The eight- and  two-diameter criteria are not
»-««»lute; other test section locations may bo used (sub-
    {to approval of the Administrator), provided that tlio
   r at the test site Is stable and demonslrably parallel
t  lie duct axis.
 4.1.2.3 The flow system shall have the  capacity to
generate a test-section velocity around »15 m/mln (3,000
  fl/mln). This velocity must bo constant with time to
  guarantee steady flow during calibration. Note that
  Type S pilot tube coefficients obtained by single-velocity
  calibration at !U5 m/inin (3,000 ft/min) will generally bo
  valid to within ±3 percent for the measurement of
  velocities above :<05 m/inin (1,000 ft/min) and to within
  ±5 to 6 percent for tho measurement of velocities be-
  tween 180 and 30.) m/mln (GOO and 1,000 ft/min). If a
  more iirroise. correlation  between C, and velocity Is
  dejircd, the flow system shall have the  capacity to
  generate at least four distinct, time-invariant test-section
  velocities covering the velocity rango from ISO to 1,525
  m/mln  (COO  to 5,OOOTt/m!n), and calibration data shall
  foe taken nt regular velocity intervals over this rango
  (see Citations 0 and 14 in Section C for detail-).
    4.1.2.4 Two entry ports, one each for the standard
  and Type S pltot tubes, slmll be cut In the test section;
  the/ standard pitot entry port shall be located slightly
  downstream of tho Type  S port, so that the standard
  and Typo a Impact openings will lie In tho same cross-
  sectional plane during  calibration.  To facilitate align-
  ment of the pitot tuhei during calibration, It is advisable
  that  the test section bo constructed of ploxlglas or some
  other transparent material.
    4.1.3  Calibration Procedure. Note that this procedure
  is a  general one und must not bo used without llr.st
  referring to  the special considerations presented in Sec-
  tion 4.I.S. Note abo that this procedure applies only to
  dingle-velocity calibration. To obtain calibration data
  for the A and B sides of the Type S pilot tube, proceed
  as follows:
    4.1.3.1 Make suro  that the manometer Is properly
  Oiled and that the oil Is free from conlamlimtloit and is of
  the proper density. Inspect and leak-check all pilot linos;
" repair or replace  if necessary.

                                                GENERAL DESCRIPTION

                                              This instrument is a portable, battery-
                                            operated, electronic halogen gas detector. It is
                                            capable of finding leaks as small  as Vz ounce
                                             or year; as well as large leaks in  areas where
                                            background contamination may be present.

                                              The instrument provides a "Geiger Counter"
                                            ticking signal which increases as the leak is ap-
                                            proached. When the leak has been found, a
                                            siren is sounded.

                                              No danger exists when approaching a large
                                            refrigerant leak with the leak detector.  Unlike
                                            a gas torch, dangerous or poisonous gases are
                                            not generated. The sensing tip is  not affected
                                            by large amounts of refrigerants as are vacuum-
                                            type halogen gas detectors. Recovery time after
                                            the probe is removed from a contaminated area
                                            is instantaneous.
                                              Requiring  no warm-up period, the  instru-
                                            ment is ready to use following a simple calibra-
                                            tion procedure. It is equipped with a dual length
                                            flexible probe which can be bent to permit the
                                            sensing tip at the end  of the probe to  reach
                                            normally inaccessible leaks.

                                              A low battery indicator light  is  also pro-
                                            vided, so that  your leak detector is kept in top
                                            working condition at all times.
      HOW TO FIND LEAKS
1)  Move slide switch to CALIBRATE position.
   (Figure I)
2)  Calibrate by turning the knob until ticking
   signal is heard.
3)  Move switch to OPERATE position.
4)  Search for leaks.
5)  When a small trace of halogen refrigerant
   enters the sensing tip, the "Geiger Counter"
   ticking signal quickens. As more gas enters
   the tip, the signal speeds up  until it be-
   comes a siren.

SEARCHING FOR  LARGE  LEAKS
OR IN  CONTAMINATED  AREAS
1) In areas of high  background contamination
   and/or large leaks, if the siren alarm sounds
   before the leak source can be located, your
   leak detetor can  be  de-sensitized. Turn the
   control knob counter-clockwise slowly until
   the  siren alarm returns to a ticking signal.
   Now a large leak  can be located despite any
   background  contamination which  might be
   present.
2) In windy areas, a large leak can be extremely
   difficult to find, because the escaping gas is
   rapidly carried away from  the leak source.
   Under these conditions, it may be  necessary
   to shield the potential leak area.
NOTE:  It may not be necessary to readjust cali-
       bration knob each time the unit is turn-
       ed on. Simply  move switch directly to
       operate position.
SEARCHING FOR  SMALL  LEAKS
1) In a situation when large leaks  mask the
   presence of very small leaks, locate  and
   repair  large leaks first. Finding  the small
   leaks will then become an easy task.
2) When trying to locate  a very "hard to  find
   leak",  first isolate potential leak  area  with
   a drop cloth, etc. Wait a  few minutes  and
   probe the shielded area. Continue this prac-
   tice  until  all suspected areas have  been ••
   checked.
3) When searching for ULTRA small leaks, you
   may wish  to leave  the  instrument's  slide
   switch in the CALIBRATE  position. In this
   position, due to the extreme  sensitivity, a
   slight variation in the ticking signal may be
   noticed.
                           OTHER LEAK DETECTION
                                   TECHNIQUES
                       1)  When  the knob  (Figure 2)  in  the  lower
                          corner of the instrument  is  loosened,  the
                          flexible probe is free to  move 180°. This is
                          especially useful when searching in normally
                          inaccessible areas.
                       2)  In areas where background  noise is a prob-
                          lem,  you may want to use  the earphone
                          accessory available for  your  leak detector.

                       3)  It is  important to remember that  halogen
                          gases are heavier than air.  The first indica-
                          tion of the presence of  halogen gases may
                          be slightly below the actual  leak source.
                       4)  When searching for leaks, the  sensing probe
                          should be moved at a rate of  approximately
                          one inch per second.
                         NOTE:
                         Before rotating
                         Flex Probe, loosen
                         Probe knob two lull turns
                         counterclockwise.
                                                          (FIG.2)

       MAINTENANCE HINTS
1) To  install batteries, remove the battery cover
   on  the back of the instrument. Be sure to
   install batteries as indicated in the  battery
   compartment.
2) Batteries  effect  performance.  When  your
   leak detector is turned on, the red  battery
   indicator should be lit. If the red light is not
   on,  install fresh  and/or  tested  Size "C"
   Alkaline batteries. Remember,  cold temper-
   atures will effect battery strength.
3) If the red light is on, and the unit fails to
   operate properly, turn instrument off and
   replace the sensing  tip*. If the unit still
   does not function correctly, return it to the
   factory for repairs.
4) If the ticking signal  is erratic or a  contin-
   uous siren is heard,  the sensing tip should
   be replaced:
5) Minimize tip contamination  from  dust and
   grease by utilizing the tip protector and
   filter cloth.
6) Always be sure your  instrument is off when
   changing  tips. To  change the sensing tip,
   turn the tip counter-clockwise. Attach a new
   tip  by turning clockwise on  the connector.
   Do  not operate your  leak detector until the
   sensing tip is  screwed on  finger tight. Use
   care not  to catch perspiration, or  grease
   such  as  hand cleaner in the  slots, while
   attaching the tip.
"NOTE: The battery voltage is amplified in the
        sensing tip. Failure to turn the instru-
        ment off when  changing tips will re-
        sult in a mild  shock when the tip is
        touched.
