                              INTRODUCTION


The Honokaa Sugar Company mill is located about 64 km (40 miles)  north-
west of Hilo, Hawaii.   This mill  presently has a rated capacity of
2725 kkg* (3000 tons)/day net cane** and generally operates 24 hours/day
7 days/week.  During the period May 24-27 (3 p.m.-3 p.m.  operating day),
the Honokaa mill processed an average of 2428 kkg (2675 tons) net
cane/day.  The range was 2244-2580 kkg (2471-2841  tons) net cane/day.

Cane processing to raw sugar and molasses generally follows the flow
chart contained in Appendix A.  As is typical at most sugar mills
in the Hawaiian Islands, the bagasse*** is used as the primary fuel
source for the boilers.  The bagasse available for fuel is about 30
percent of the net cane processed.  Company officials indicated that
about 95 percent of the available bagasse is burned with the remainder
being wasted.

At the request of Region IX EPA, the National Enforcement Investigations
Center (NEIC) conducted stack monitoring and visible emissions observa-
tions on May  25 and 26 to determine if applicable state air pollution
regulations were being met.  The allowable particulate emission rate is
0.4  kg/100  kg (0.4 lb/100 Ib) of bagasse burned.  For visible emissions
from existing sources, the regulations state:1

     "No  person  shall cause or permit the emission of visible air
     pollutants  of a shade or  density equal to or darker than that
     designated  as No.  2 on the Ringelmann Chart or 40 percent opacity,
     except"  that "A person may discharge  into the atmosphere from
     any  single  source  of emission,  for a period or periods aggregating
     not  more  than 3 minutes  in any  60 minutes,  air pollutants of a
     shade  or  density not darker  than No.  3 on  the Ringelmann Chart
     or 60  percent opacity when building  a new  fire or when breakdown
     of equipment occurs."

 Information on  process and  boiler  operations and  air pollution control
 practices  was obtained from  Mr.  Cyril Rowsell,  Factory Superintendent
 and Mr.  Jean-Paul Merle,  Boiling House  Superintendent.   Mr.  Harold
 Tobin, Air Pollution  Engineer of the  Hawaii  Department of Health,
 observed the tests.
 **Net cane is a calculated value and is essentially equal  to the  gross
   cane brought into the plant minus the soil,  leaves,  rock,  and other trash.
***Bagasse is the solid material  remaining after the milling  process has
   removed the juice from the sugar cane.   It serves as an  excellent
   fuel source with a heating value of 2580 gram-cal./gm (4650 BTU/lb).

                         SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

1.   Stack monitoring was conducted  at the Honokaa  Sugar  Company  mill
    May 25-26 to determine the particulate emissions  from the bagasse-
    fired boiler stack.   Sampling was conducted as specified  in  Method
    5 of the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources.
    State of Hawaii  regulations require that the  particulate  emissions
    from this source not exceed 0.4 kg/100 kg (0.4 lb/100 Ib) of
    bagasse burned.   The average particulate load  emitted by  the
    Honokaa Sugar Company was 0.53  kg/100 kg (0.53 lb/100 Ib)
    of bagasse burned.  This load is 33 percent higher than that
    allowed.

2.   Visible emission observations were conducted  as specified in Method 9
    of the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources.   Forty
    observations at 15 second intervals were made  during each particular
    sampling test.   At the time of  the observations the  plant was
    operating normally;  thus the results were checked against that
    portion of the regulations which specifies that the  plume opacity
    shall not be equal to or greater than 40 percent.  The average
    opacities for the three observation periods ranged from 49-52
    percent.  Individual opacities  as high as 90  percent were observed.
    The results clearly show violations of the state  regulations.

3.   A visible emission evaluation by NEIC on May  1 showed an  average
    plume opacity of 27 percent.  Between May 1 and May  25, the  company
    installed a 6000 kw generator which was operating at 1700 kw.
    When operating at full capacity, the power generated beyond  factory
    demand will go to the Hilo Electric Light Company.  However, at
    the time of stack testing, connection to the  power company lines
    had not been made.

    The effects on boiler operation due to operating  the 6000 kw
    generator  at a much reduced capacity is not  clearly defined
    but there has been a significant change in visible emissio
    between May 1 and May 25.  At present there are wide fluctuations
    in the  steam production rates.   Operating the 6000 kw generator
    at full capacity may provide for more uniform boiler operation
    which in turn may help control  the visible and particulate emissions.

4.   The company has not complied with the Hawaii  Department of Health
    Compliance Order issued July 27, 1973 in that the fractionating
    dust collector has not been installed.  Present air pollution
    control equipment consists of a multiple cyclone  dust collector
    unit [Western Precipitation Corporation multiclonc unit].  The
    unit was, according to company  officials, retrofitted to  the
    Honokaa boiler. No attempt was  made to determine  the collection
    efficiency of the multiple cyclone unit during the survey.

         POWER BOILER OPERATIONS AND EMISSION CONTROL  EQUIPMENT

The Honokaa mill  requires both steam and electric  power to operate
the various mechanical equipment trains and the evaporative processes
in the plant.  Steam generated in the bagasse-fired steam boiler is
used to generate electric power, to drive a portion of the mechanical
equipment, and in the sugar evaporation and concentration processes.

The electrical power requirement for the mill is approximately 1700
kw.  The majority of the electrical power is supplied by two steam
powered turbine generators, one rated at 6,000 kw and the other at 1,500
kw.  A 1,000 kw hydrogenerator is also available.   This hydro-generator
is powered by runoff water which is available at approximately 240 m
(800 ft) of  static head.  The hydrogenerator supplies approximately
400 kw.

By late summer 1975,  the company anticipates completion of an electrical
tie-in between their  power generation facilities and the Hilo Electric
Liqht Company power distribution lines.  A contract has been confirmed
with the  latter by which the mill will supply 800,000  kw per month to
the distribution system.  When  this tie-in is  completed, the 6,000
kw steam  turbine generator will  probably be  operated near capacity.
Currently this unit  is  operated  at  approximately 1,700 kw.

POWER  BOILER

The steam boiler is  a Combustion Engineering two-drum  water tube  and
water  wall  unit.  The boiler  was built  in  1954 and was originally
designed  to be operated on  pulverized  coal and/or  natural  gas.
 In its  original configuration  the boiler  had a capacity  of 7^,000 kg
 (160,000  lb)/hour of steam  at a delivery pressure  of  29 kg/cm   (425  psi).

 In 1964 the boiler  was installed at the Honokaa Sugar  Company  and
 modified  to burn bagasse as a primary  fuel,  with  Bunker C fuel™1
 being used as supplemental  fuel.  In 1974  it was  father modified by
 the Babcock and  Wilcox Company to increase its  capacity to 73,000 kg
 (160,000 lb)/hr  of  45 kg/cnf (650 psi)  steam.

 Bagasse from the milling process train is  conveyed by belt to four
 feed chutes at the  power boiler.  The weight of bagasse is determined
 by a g.-r-Ki ray sensor type weighing scale located on the conveyor belt.
 The bagasse continually discharges into the tour chutes keeping these
 filled at all times.

 The excess  bagasse continues on the conveyor and is currently discharged
 to the trash cleaning system with the majority going to landfill  along
 with the cane trash.  The company is in the process of installing a

-------
                                   -4-

piping system to convey the bagasse pneumatically to the landfill  area.
Excess bagasse can also be diverted to storage if necessary.   Moreover,
during periods when bagasse production from the milling process is
not sufficient to supply the boiler fuel  demand, bagasse can be with-
drawn from storage.

The bagasse is fed into the boiler furnace by four spreader stokers,
one located at the bottom of each chute.   The stokers propel  the bagasse
into the furnace by rotating flipper arms.  Approximately 50 percent
of the bagasse burns in suspension in the furnace with the remainder
burning on the furnace grates.   The amount of bagasse introduced into
the furnace depends on the flipper arm speed.  In turn, the speed of
the arms is controlled by the boiler steam demand rate; i.e., as the
demand for steam increases, the bagasse introduced into the boiler
increases.

Ash residue is removed from the furnace by dumping grates.  There
are four such dumping grates in this furnace.  One grate is dumped
about every hour.  When a grate is dumped, the underfire air is
shut off, the unit rotated and the ashes  dumped pneumatically into
a collection hopper.  The ashes are steam ejected from the hopper into
an open trench below and then sluiced along with the excess bagasse
to the wastewater outfall.

Three manually operated atomized oil burners are located on the front
wall of the furnace unit.  During 1974, 1,475 bbls of Bunker C fuel
oil were burned.  The majority of this fuel oil was used during season
startup and shutdown.  Fuel oil is also used during the normal operating
periods when the steam demand exceeds that available by burning bagasse
only.  This occurs when the bagasse is extremely dirty or when the
bagasse feed systems are affected by mechanical problems.

STEAM DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
A schematic drawing of the boiler power plant steam piping system
and an operational narrative, are included in Appendix B.   A brief
description follows.

The boiler produces superheated steam at 42 kg/cnr (610 psi) and
425°C (800°F).  Under current (May 1975) operating modes,  the pressure
and temperature of a  portion of this superheated steam is  dropped to 42
kg/cm2 (600 psi) and  400°C (750°F).   This latter steam is  used to
operate the 6,000 kw  steam turbine unit.  The 6,000 kw turbine has a
back pressure exhaust of 16.5 kg/cnr (235 psi) steam.   This steam
exhaust temperature is further dropped to 225°C (455°F) and discharged
into the 16.5 kg/cnr  (235 psi) header system.  Steam from  this system
powers the mill train, another steam turbine generator unit, and after
further pressure reduction is used for other purposes  within the plant.

-------
                                   -5-

The new 6,000 kw steam turbine generator is  not currently operated
at full capacity, thus the supply of 16.5 kg/cm2 (235 psi) exhaust steam
does not meet the needs of the plant.   Upon  completion of the electrical
tie-in to the Hilo Electric Company, it is anticipated that this  unit
will be operated at full capacity and the exhaust supply will be  adequate
for plant needs.  However, in the interim period a portion of the 42 kg/cm^
(610 psi) superheated steam from the boiler  is run through a pressure
reducing station and desuperheated to provide 16.5 kg/cnr (235 psi),
225°C  (435°F) steam.  This steam is then introduced into the 16.5
kg/cm2 (235 psi) header system described above.

The 16.5 kg/cm2 (235 psi) steam is used at this pressure or further
reduced to satisfy various equipment requirements.  The majority  of
the equipment exhausts at 1 kg/cm2 (15 psi)  steam which is collected
in an  exhaust header main and used in the sugar evaporation and
concentration processes.

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL EQUIPMENT

Particulate emissions from the bagasse-fired boiler originate from
unburned bagasse, ash, and soot which are entrained in the combustion
gases.  Combustion air is supplied to the furnace by a forced draft
fan (FD) which draws in ambient air and forces it through an air preheater
unit.  From the air preheater unit the warm air is introduced into the
furnace, both below the ash grates and through overfire air ports.  The
air supports the combustion of the bagasse both on the grates and in
suspension.  The combustion gases are then drawn by an induced draft
(ID) fan up through the steam superheater and boiler tubes, and
exited through  the upper rear portion of the boiler.  These exhaust
gases  then pass through the air preheater unit, a cyclone dust collector,
the ID fan and are exhausted to the atmosphere through a 2.1 m (6'10")
diameter, 12.2 m  (40 ft) high steel stack.

The cyclone type dust collector is a Western Precipitation multiclone
unit,  Type 9VGRAB-14, Model P-94348-B, size 200-10.  The unit has 200
individual cyclone units and is rated at 171,000 kg/hr  (376,000 Ib/hr)
of  exhaust gas.  This figure translates to approximately 4,700 actual
m3/min (166,000 acfm) of exhaust gases.  According to company officials
the multiple cyclone unit which was retrofitted to the boiler was
installed in 1972.

Ashes  collected  in the  multiclone unit fall  into hoppers below and
are sluiced from here along with excess bagasse to the trash dewatering
system and thence into  the effluent channel.

                           DISCUSSION OF  STUDY

STACK MONITORING

Stack monitoring, as previously mentioned,  was  conducted on May 25 and
26, 1975.  The equipment used,  the testing, calibration, and the sample
handling procedures followed are discussed  in Appendix C.

The boiler stack at the Honokaa Mill  is 2.08 m  (6.83 ft) in diameter.
The sample ports are located approximately  8.25 m  27 ft)  above the
exhaust gases inlet to the stack and 4.27 m (14 ft) below the stack
top [Figure 1].  The company had recently installed four ports located
at 90 degree intervals on the stack circumference.   Because a 3.05 m
(10 ft) probe was used, sampling was accomplished through the north
and east ports.  Sampling was accomplished  in accordance with the Federal
Regulations (Method I)2 which dictate the number of sampling Points
necessary based on port location.  In this  case the ports are slightly
more than four diameters downstream from a  disturbance  (i.e., tne
point where exhaust gases enter) and two diameters upstream from the
exit; thus 36 points were required.

Each point was sampled three minutes in order that 1.7-2.1 m3 (60-75 ft  )
of air  could be sampled during a test.   The heavy particulate load
required two filters per test.  Three tests, one on May 25, and two on
May  26  were conducted.  Isokineticity ranged from 97.7-102.4 percent*
[Table  I].

Samples were  recovered as specified for Method  52  [Appendix C].  The
samples were  shipped to the  NEIC  laboratory  in  Denver  for  analyses
 [Appendix  D],   The NEIC Chain  of  Custody procedures were  followed.

 During  the stack  monitoring  NEIC  personnel observed boiler operating
 procedures in  the control  room.   Pertinent operating  readings were
obtained every ten minutes  from the boiler instrumentation panels.
These  data included the steam  production rate,  bagasse production
 rate,  superheater steam pressure  and temperature,  feed water  pressure
 and  temperature,  and  feed  water flow rate  [Appendix B].   The  average
 steam production rates  [Table  II]  during monitoring  ranged from about
 75-88 percent of the  boiler capacity of  72,600  kg  (160,000 lb}/hr.
 The  steam production  rates  during any  one  monitoring  test differed  by
 as much as 14,980 kg  (33,000 lb)/hr  [Appendix  B].   These  varying steam
 demand rates  result from  changes in  processing  operation,  e.g., the
 boiler house steam demand  drop when  a  vacuum pan is  pulled.   Stack
 monitoring was stopped on  one  occasion during  test 3 when a breakdown
 in the mill  reduced the steam  demand  to  46,760 kg  (103,000 Ibj/hr.
 When repairs were completed and the  steam  production  rate increased to
 54,400 kg (120,000 lbs)/hr, sampling  continued.

 *Isokinetic sampling can  be defined as sampling in a  manner so that the
  sampling velocity (Vn) is equal to the stack  velocity (Vs)   If
  Vn <  Vs i.e., percent less than 100,  sampling is  under isokinetic, if Vn > Vs
  sampling is over isokinetic.   For a valid test sampling must be in the
  range 90 to 110 percent.

During monitoring, personnel from the Honokaa Sugar Company were
obtaining samples of the bagasse produced and the raw cane processed.
From these samples the moisture content of the bagasse produced, and
the percentage of bagasse fiber in the raw cane were calculated.  The
company routinely measures the amount of sugar produced over a given
time.  Knowing this figure, the cane-to-sugar ratio,  and the cane-to-
bagasse ration, the company then extrapolates the amount of bagasse
produced per hour of operation.

The NEIC requested and obtained certification of certain production
and boiler operating parameters for the test periods [Appendix B].
These certified data compare favorably with the numbers collected during
NEIC observations.  The bagasse usage figures provided by the company
were used to calculate the particulate emission, i.e., kg/100 kg (lb/100 Ib)
of bagasse burned.

To ascertain the particulate emissions the amount of material collected
on the filter and in the cyclone along with any material contained in
the sampling probe and nozzle, i.e., the "front half" of the sampling
train were measured [Table I].  The results show that the average
particulate emission for three tests was 0.53 kg/100 kg (0.53 lb/100 Ib)
of bagasse burned.  This violates the state regulations which specify
the particulate emissions shall not exceed 0.4 kg/100 kg (0.4 lb/100 Ib)
of bagasse burned.

The "back-half" collection represents the particulate material collected
in the impinger case and is that material existing in a gaseous state at
120°C (248°F) but condensing at lower temperatures.   This material  is
not presently considered in determining particulate emissions.  It
is presented herein for information purposes only [Table I].

It should be noted that the company estimates that about five percent
of the total bagasse production is wasted in the current operating
modes, hence the amount of bagasse certified as being used as fuel  is
generally lower than the numbers monitored by the gamma weight scale
in the cane mill.   As mentioned previously the present air pollution
control  equipment consists of a multiple cyclone unit which, according
to company officials, was retrofitted to the Honokaa boiler.  The
collection efficiency of these units depends on numerous factors such
as dust particle size, particle density, inlet gas velocity, cyclone
body length, cyclone diameter, smoothness of cyclone walls, gas viscosity,
and gas  outlet and inlet diameters.   No attempt was made to determine
the collection efficiency of this particular unit during the survey.

The complete field data and analytical  results are on file at NEIC and
are available upon request.

VISIBLE EMISSION EVALUATION

Visible emission evaluations were conducted as specified in the Federal
Regulations (Method 9)2.   Forty observations taken at 15 second intervals
were made for a ten minute period during each particulate sampling test.
At the observation times  the plant was operating normally; thus the
results were checked against that portion of the regulations that
specifies the plume opacity shall not equal or exceed 40 percent opacity.
The average opacities during tests 1, 2, and 3 respectively were 52,
51, and 49 percent.  Opacity reading ranged as follows:   Test 1, 40-70
percent; Test 2, 40-90 percent; and Test 3, 35-90 percent [Appendix EJ.
The average opacities as well as most of the individual  observations
violated the aforementioned state regulations.

A SIP inspection was conducted by NEIC personnel May 1,  1975.  Visible
emission observations at that time showed an average plume opacity of
27 percent3.  Between May 1 and May 24 the company placed a 6,000 kw
steam turbine generator on  line.  When operating at full capacity the
power beyond factory demand  (approximately 1,700 kw) will go to the
Hilo Electric Light Company.  However, at the time of stack testing,
the tie-in to the  electric  company transmission lines had not been
completed; thus the generator was operating at about 1,700  kw.

The effects on  boiler operation  because of the reduced generator operating
rate are not clearly defined but there has been a significant change  in
the visible emissions from  those observations made May 1 and those
made during stack  testing.   At present there  are wide variations in
steam demand.   Operating  the boiler  at a more constant steam production
rate may reduce the visible and  particulate emissions.

This mill  was  issued a compliance order  by the Hawaii Department of
Health  on  July  27, 1973 regarding its bagasse-fired  boiler.  The order
found  the  company  in violation of the particulate and opacity  regulations
and  required the following  approach  to  attain compliance:

     1.   By January 30, 1974, install  an  over-fire  air system on  the  boiler.

     2.   By January 30, 1975, install  a  fractionating dust collector
         (attendant to  the existing  multiclone unit).

     3.   By May 31, 1975,  achieve compliance.

 The company attained  compliance  with item  1  but has  not installed  the
 dust collector and as  the study  results show has  not achieved  compliance
 with the opacity  and  particulate emission  regulations.

                      PROCESSING OF  SUGAR CANE-/

     The processing of sugar cane to raw sugar and molasses generally
follows the steps discussed below [Figure Al].
Cane Cleaning
     The replacement of hand cutting by mechanical harvesting  has  resulted
in an increase of mud and dirt content.  This has necessitated cane
washing and it is the practice generally followed at mills on  the  Island
of Hawaii at the present time.*  The cane is usually washed with warm
barometric condenser waters.
Milling
     Following cleaning, the cane proceeds  into  the milling process  of
which the purpose is to extract the juice from the cane  stock. This
extraction is accomplished with revolving cane knives, shredders,
crushers, and roll mills.  The knives cut the cane into  chips  in preparation
for grinding and to provide a more even  feed rate  to the mills.  Shredders
further prepare the cane.  These two operations  increase mill  capacity.
The crushers extract 40-70% of the juice.   After the juice  is  extracted,
the remaining material (bagasse) representing about 30%  by  weight  of the
cane entering the system, is usually used  as feed  for  the boiler  system
with the excess being hauled to landfill  or, in  some cases, discharged
in the wastewater.
Clarification
     The juice from the milling operation  contains impurities  such as
fine particles of bagasses, gums, and waxes.  Screening  will  remove the
courser particles which are returned to the mills.  The  majority of the

remaining impurities are removed  by clarification.
     In the clarification process lime,  heat  and a small amount of phos-
phate are used to aid in removing the  remaining impurities.  During  the
process a flocculent precipitate  is formed  and most of  the suspended
solids remaining in the juice are occluded and settle  out with the
precipitate.  The precipitate is  separated  from the juice by settling
and decantation in continuous clarifiers.
Filtration
     The clarification process separates the  juice into two  portions:
(1) the clarified juice and (2) the  precipitated  sludge or muds.   The
first portion represents 80-90% of the juice  which is usually  taken directly
to the evaporator system.  The second portion is  generally  thickened by
rotary vacuum filters.  The filtered juice is cycled back  through the
clarification system.
     The filter cake produced  (20-75 kg/kkg or 40-150 Ibs/ton  of cane
ground) has a moisture  content of 70-80 percent.   It is general  practice
to collect  the  cake in  storage bins for subsequent removal  to the cane fields.
In most cases,  the  filter cake is not discharged.
Evaporation
     The clarified  juice is about 85 percent water and 15 percent solids.
To obtain  crystallization, enough water must be removed to produce  a
60 percent solids  syrup.  This concentration process is usually accomplished
using  multiple-effect  evaporators in  the interest of better fuel economy.

                                    -3-
Crystallization
     The concentrated syrup from the evaporators  is  placed  in single effect,
batch type evaporators called "vacuum pans".   The pans  are  operated
using exhaust steam or vapor from the first stage evaporators discussed
above.  Seed crystals are introduced into the vacuum pan  at the beginning
of the operation.  The pan must be maintained in  a narrow range of sugar
concentration and temperature so that the seed crystals grow.
     After sugar crystals form in the pan, the mixture  of crystals and
syrup (massecuite)  is agitated gently in a mixer.  After mixing,  the
crystals are separated from the syrup in a high speed centrifuge with
the raw sugar going to storage.
                                                         •
     The vacuum pans generally operate in series  with each  pan
crystallizing a different grade of massaceuite.  The last pan yields
a low sugar and final (blackstrap) molasses which is usually used  for
animal feeds.  The low grade sugar off the final  pan is subsequently
melted into syrup and mixed with the syrup from the  evaporators.

                                                                                                      MARCH 18. 1975
                                 A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE STEAM PIPING  & SYSTEM FOR THE 1975 CROP.

                                                     REFER TO THE ATTACHED SKETCH

           BOILER;  Steam will be generated at 6100 and 800+eF.,  at the superheater  outlet.   Pressure will be controlled by  a
                    new Kagan controller in the back of the upright panel.

           6000 Steam to the 6000 kW Generator  will be desuperheated (1.)  to  750°F  and  should enter the  turbine at  6000 and 750*P.
                    The generator will not  go on line until April.
           600ff Stean reduced to 1359 for makeup.   The 6000 steam is pressure  reduced through two pressure control valves  (A)
                    located beside the walkway to the top  of the  Control  Room.   It will  then  be desuperheated to 435'F by  desuper-
                    heater (2) located at the boiler end of the old 2350  header.
                    This steam will supply  the mills,  fans, and turbine boiler feed  pump as previously.
                    The entire boiler output will pass through this pressure reducing desuperheating system until such time  as
                    the 6000 kW generator is put on line.
           2350 Generator Exhaust Steam.    This will,  normally, when the  6000  kW generator is in operation, provide  an adequate
                    supply of 2350 steam to satisfy the demand of all the 2350 steam driven turbines; Including operation  of the
                    1500 kW generator, on part load.
                    The exhaust steam will  be conditioned  by desuperheater (3) to a  temperature of 435'F.
                    If for some reason the  supply of exhaust from the 6000 kW  generator  is inadequate, as the pressure drops,
                    the pressure control valves (4) will open and maintain a pressure slightly lower than 2350 and ensure
                    continuity of operation.

           Boiling House Supply.  The same  control system  (5) as  used in  previous years  to control mill engine and boiling house
                    pressure at 1500, will  be used to maintain a  1250 supply to the  boiling house.  The fuel oil heaters supply
                    is piped from the boiling house line.
           New Mills.  A 12" valve (9) has  been provided to supply steam  to the new  mill building.

           1500 kW Generator.  The pressure control valve  (6) will reduce 2350/1750  for  this  generator, as previously.

           Deaerator Pressure.  (Now 110 to 150)   A new pressure control valve (7)  will reduce 2350 steam to 110 and maintain
!                    this pressure in the cleaeralor when the 150 exhaust pressure drops below  110.  This will provide hotter
j                    boiler feed water and improve the operation of the deaerator.
I           Sootblowers.  A 7000/2350 pressure control valve (8) will provide low pressure steam,  from the drum to  the soot blowers.
j           Operation.  Since the above control systems are automatic, there will normally be  no need for  the operator  to do  more
!                    than monitor steam temperatures and pressures,  to satisfy  himself that the systems are working correctly.
I                    However, if a control malfunctions hand operation can be used, where provided, to manually control critical
|                    temperatures or pressures.
i
                    Several changes have been m.-"!-; to the  annunciator and temperature indicator systems to give warnings and
                    enable you to monitor the ci.'-ical points.
                    A temporary, amended log sheet will be used until a new log sheet can be'prepared.

                      STACK MONITORING PROCEDURES
Equipment
     Particulate samples were  collected using a Scientific Glass
sampling train equipped and operated as required by "Method 5 - Determi-
nation of Particulate Emission  from Stationary Sources"!/.  The method
requires that the stack gas be  sampled between 90 and 110 percent
isokinetically; i.e., the  kinetic energy of the stack gas must equal  the
kinetic energy of the gas  entering the sample nozzle within +^10 percent.
Since the kinetic energy of a  gas is dependent only upon the mass  and
velocity of the gas stream and  the mass of the gas entering the nozzle  is
equal to that in the stack at  any given time, isokineticity can be satis-
fied by adjusting the gas  entry velocity into the nozzle to that of the
stack velocity.  The two velocities are related by an equation using
pressure drop across a S-type  pitot tube (stack velocity) and a calibrated
orifice (nozzle velocity)  located just prior to where the sampled  gas exits
from the train.  Rapid adjustments to the isokinetic sampling rate are  made
possible by the EPA - Method  5 sampling train shown below and a (nomograph
which rapidly solves tlie pressure drop equation.

     The probe is moved to the location to be sampled and the velocity
pressure in the stack (pitot tube pressure differential, ^P)  is read
on an inclined monometer.  Using the nomograph, the operator solves
the equation and manually adjusts the sampling rate to obtain the desired
pressure drop across the calibrated discharge orifice.
     The stack gases are pulled through the nozzle and probe to a cyclone
which collects large particulates and then through a glass fiber filter
which collects the remaining particulates.  The train to this point is
heated to 120°C (248°F) to eliminate conder.batior,.
     The gases then pass through four impinger tubes which are partially
immersed in ice water to maintain temperatures around 21°C (70°F).
The first two impinger tubes are prefilled with 100 ml of distilled water.
The third is empty and 200 gms of silica gel is added to the fourth.  A
Greenburg-Snn'th impinger is used in the second tube; modified (3.8 cm
(1.5 inch) ID opening).  Greenburg-Smith impingers are used in the first,
third and fourth tubes.  The first three tubes collect water vapor and
other condensable material.  The air is dried by the silica gel in the
fourth tube.  As shown in the preceding figure, the heated box and impinger
case are at the stack.
     The clean, dry gases then flow through the umbilical cord to the
leakless vacuum pump located at the control console.  The pump operates
at a constant rate; valves adjust the amount of pump discharge air
recycled to the inlet of the pump and the amount drawn through the
nozzle to the pump.  Since the pump is leakless, the air which is pulled
through the nozzle is equal to the amount which discharges from the

-------
                                   -3-
pump under positive pressure to the 4.96 cmh (175 cfh)  Rockwell  dry
gas meter.  Air discharges from the meter through the calibrated orifice
to atmosphere.
     During the test, temperatures were measured at six points throughout
the train with chromel-alumel  thermo-couples and displayed on a digital
temperature indicator (DTI) at the control  console.  The locations
monitored for temperature are the stack gas, the probe, the filter oven,
the impinger exit, the inlet to the gas meter and the exit from the gas
meter.
     Molecular weight of the stack gas was  determined using an Orsat
analyzer to analyze a composite sample taken with a hand pump during the
test period.  The Orsat analyzer contains three reagents which selectively
absorb C02« QZ and C0*  Tne molecular weight was then calculated by
assuming that the remaining gas was nitrogen.
     Static pressure of the stack was determined by facing the openings
of the S-type pi tot tube parallel to the gas stream.  The pressure differ-
ential (compared to atmosphere) was read on the inclined monometer at the
control console.  Barometric pressure was read from a Lloyds barometer.
The percent moisture of the stack gas was estimated for the first test.
The calculated moisture content from each test was used for the following
test.
Calibration
     The DTI was calibrated on site with a Mini Mite ™ pyrometer.
Nozzle diameter was measured with calipers to an accuracy of +. 0.025 mm
(+ 0.001 inch).

                                   -4-
      Napp  Inc. manufactured the S-type pi tot tube used for stack velocity
 pressure measurement.  A record of the Napp Inc. calibration of the pi tot
 tube  is on  file at NEIC.  The gas meter was calibrated by the Public Service
 Company of Colorado.  This calibration was checked by NEIC personnel against
 an American ™ wet test and found to be accurate with +. 1%.  Just prior to
 use the meter calibration was again verified to be accurate by the Gasco Co.
 in Honolulu, Hawaii.  The discharge orifice was also calibrated by NEIC
 against the wet test meter and was found to have a reference pressure drop
 of 1.72 at  a flow rate of 0.021 Std M3/min (0.75 scfm).

 Test  Procedure
      The points for obtaining the particulate sample were located approx-
 imately 11.6 m (38 ft.) above the ground on the bagasse boiler stack.
 There were  four ports located at 90° intervals around the circumference
 of the 2.08 m (6.83 ft) diameter stack.  These ports are located approxi-
 mately 8.25 m (27 ft) above the exhaust gases inlet and 4.27 m (14 ft)
 below the stack top.  The NEIC team used a 3.05 m (10 ft) probe, thus
 only  the North and East ports were required.   Thirty-six sample points
 were  required by Method 1  to obtain a representative sample because
 of the port locations; i.e., 4 diameters downstream from a disturbance
 2 diameters upstream.!/  The points were located at the centroids  of
 thirty six equal  area portions of the total  stack cross section.   Eighteen
 points were sampled on each diameter.

                                   -5-
     The static pressure was  determined  and  a  velocity  traverse was
made.  These data and estimates  of percent moisture  and molecular weight
were required to select a nozzle diameter.   After  the nozzle was selected,
the nomograph was set and a leak check of the  sampling  train was performed.
EPA Method 5 allows no more than 566 cc  (0.02  cubic  feet)  leakage per
minute.  After satisfying the leakage requirements,  the probe was inserted
to the first sampling point and  the test began.
     The stack gas was sampled for three minutes  at  each  point  for  a  total
of 108 minutes sampling per test.   This  amount of time  was adequate to
obtain the desired 1.7 - 2.1  m3  (60 - 75 ft3)  of  air.   The 3 minute
sampling time per point was a deviation  from that  prescribed for Method 5
in the December 23, 1971 Federal Register which calls  for a minimum of
5 minutes per sampling point.  However,  revisions  to Method 5  are being
promulgated changing the minimum sampling time to  two minutes.  Current
practice is to sample a sufficient time  (but not  less  than two  minutes
at each point) to obtain the aforementioned  air volume.  Sampling for 5
minutes at a large number of points yields  a larger  than  desirable  air
volume.

Sample Recovery
     At the end of the sampling  period,  the  sample was  recovered  as
specified in Method 5l/.  The probe was  removed from the  stack  and
disconnected from the train.  All  open connections were capped  immediately
to prevent gaining or losing particulate.  The probe and  nozzle were
rinsed with acetone and brushed.  The rinse  was collected in  a  clean  glass
jar  for later analysis.

     The glass-ware portion of the  train was  taken  to  the  plant  chemistry
laboratory for clean-up.   The filter was placed  in  a glass  petri-dish
and sealed with aluminum foil.   All  glass-ware between the  filter and  the
probe was rinsed with acetone.   All  of  the  acetone  rinse from this
portion of the train was placed in  the  same jar  as  the probe  rinse.
     Water from the impingers was measured  and the  silica  gel  weighed
to determine percent moisture in the stack  gas.   The water was placed  in
a jar for subsequent ether-chloroform extraction.   All back-half glass-ware
was rinsed with acetone which was collected in a third jar.   A sample  of
the distilled water and acetone used was also taken to determine what
weight was added to the samples from the clean-up liquids.
     All samples were shipped to the NEIC  laboratory  for analysis.
Samples were handled under standard NEIC chain of custody  procedures.

                          ANALYTICAL  PROCEDURES FOR
                          STACK MONITORING SAMPLES
Filters
(Jelmans glass filters were preweighed directly on the pan of a Mettler
analytical balance after 24 hours desiccation. They were then placed in
petri dishes prewashed and acetone rinsed.   Finally, the petri dishes
were completely wrapped in foil to exclude  dust.

Upon receiving the filters back in the lab  they were placed in pre-
weighed 100 ml beakers.  The aluminum foil  used to seal  the filters
was found to be free of parti culates collected during the sampling phase
and, therefore, discarded.  One unused filter was used as a control.
Beakers were weighed until constant weight  was achieved.  As the material
on the filters rapidly picked up weight upon removal from the desiccator
only about three filters could be weighed at a time.

Chloroform - Ethyl Ether Extracts

The materials used here were a 25 ml graduate, 2000 ml separatory funnels,
pre-weighed 100 ml beakers, two square yards of chiffon nylon cloth, and
Burdick and Jackson brand solvents.
Each sample was serially extracted with three 25 ml portions of CCls then
three 25 portions of ethyl ether.  The combined extract, in a 100 ml beaker,
was placed in a hood and the air intake covered with a nylon  chiffon
cloth to prevent dust and parti culates from entering the sample.  After
air drying, the sample was desiccated and weighed until constant weight
was achieved.

Hater Portions

The water portions v/ere measured before extraction in a large graduate
cylinder.  After extraction they were taken down in 800 ml beakers and
transferred to 100 ml pre-weighed beakers and taken to dryness.  The take
down was done on a concentric ring type water bath at approximately 95°C.
Measurements were recorded when constant weight was attained.

Acetone Rinses

These were first taken down in the quart sample containers inside of a
hood, the intake of which was covered with nylon cloth to restrict dust
from entering.  When the samples were below 100 ml, they were transferred
to pre-weighed 100 ml beakers and taken down to dryness.  The entire take
down procedure was accomplished at around 70°F and a blank was run along
with the samples.  After no acetone smell could be detected, the samples
were placed in a desiccator and weighed 24 hours later.  In some cases,
constant weight was not achieved until several days later.
