SECTION 229.APPENDIX C REFERENCE TEST METHODS AND PROCEDURES FOR PERFORMANCE TESTS
Section 229.APPENDIX C Reference Test Methods and Procedures for Performance Tests
The following test methods and procedures shall be used as specified in Section 229.140(e) of this Part, when conducting any performance test for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with the emission limits established under this Part.
a) All performance tests shall consist of a minimum of 3 test runs conducted under representative operating conditions. The minimum sample time of 1 hour per test run shall be used unless otherwise indicated. In order to demonstrate compliance with the emission limits set forth in Subpart E of this Part, the arithmetic average of all 3 performance test runs shall be used.
b) Method 1, at 40 CFR 60, incorporated by reference at Section 229.104(d) of this Part, shall be used to select the sampling location and number of traverse points.
c) Method 2, at 40 CFR 60 shall be used to determine average gas density, as well as to measure gas velocity.
d) Method 3 or 3A, at 40 CFR 60 shall be used for gas composition analysis, including measurement of oxygen concentration. Method 3 or 3A, at 40 CFR 60, shall be used simultaneously with each reference method.
e) The pollutant concentrations shall be adjusted to 7 percent oxygen using the following equation:
Cadj = Cmeas (20.9-7)/(20.9-%O2)
|
Where: |
|
Cadj |
= |
pollutant concentration adjusted to 7 percent oxygen; |
|
|
|
|
|
Cmeas |
= |
pollutant concentration measured on a dry basis |
|
|
|
|
|
(20.9-7) |
= |
20.9 percent oxygen - 7 percent oxygen (defined oxygen corrective basis); |
|
|
|
|
|
20.9 |
= |
oxygen concentration in air, percent; and |
|
|
|
|
|
%O2 |
= |
oxygen concentration measured on a dry basis, percent. |
f) Method 5 or 29, at 40 CFR 60 shall be used to measure particulate matter emissions.
g) Method 9, at 40 CFR 60 shall be used to measure stack opacity.
h) Method 10 or 10B, at 40 CFR 60 shall be used to measure CO emissions.
i) Method 23, at 40 CFR 60 shall be used to measure total dioxin/furan emissions. The minimum sample time shall be 4 hours per test run. If the affected facility has selected the TEQ for dioxin/furans (set out in Appendix A of this Part), as provided under Section 229.125(b) or 229.126(b) of this Part, whichever is applicable, the following procedures shall be used to determine compliance:
1) Measure the concentration of each dioxin/furan tetra-through-octa-congener emitted using Method 23;
2) For each dioxin/furan congener measured in accordance with subsection (i)(1) of this Section, multiply the congener concentration by its corresponding TEQ factor specified in Appendix A of this Part; and
3) Sum the products calculated in accordance with subsection (i)(2) of this Section to obtain the total concentration of dioxin/furans emitted in terms of TEQ.
j) Method 26 or 26A, at 40 CFR 60 shall be used to measure HCl emissions. If the affected facility has selected the percentage reduction standard for HCl as provided under Section 229.125(b) or 229.126(b) of this Part, whichever is applicable, the percentage reduction in HCl emissions (%RHCl) is computed using the following formula:
(%RHCl) = ((Ei-Eo)/Ei) x 100
|
Where: |
|
%RHCl |
= |
percentage reduction of HCI emissions achieved; |
|
|
|
|
|
Ei |
= |
HCI emissions concentration measured at the control device inlet, corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis); and |
|
|
|
|
|
Eo |
= |
metal emissions concentration (Pb, Cd, or Hg) measured at the control device outlet, corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis). |
k) Method 29, at 40 CFR 60, shall be used to measure Pb, Cd, and Hg emissions. If the affected facility has selected the percentage reduction standards for metals as provided in Section 229.125(b) or 229.126(b) of this Part, whichever is applicable, the percentage reduction in emissions (%Rmetal) is computed using the following formula:
(%Rmetal) = ((Ei-Eo)/Ei) x 100
Where:
|
%RMETAL |
= |
percentage reduction of metal emissions (Pb, Cd, or Hg) achieved; |
|
|
|
|
|
Ei |
= |
metal emissions concentration (Pb, Cd, or Hg) measured at the control device inlet, corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis); and |
|
|
|
|
|
EO |
= |
metal emissions concentration (Pb, Cd, or Hg) measured at the control device outlet, corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis). |
