1.0 INTRODUCTION

On May 17, 2007, Tampa Electric Company’s Environmental Services, Air 

Services Group, performed source emission tests at the Big Bend Station, Boiler 

No. 1, emissions unit I.D.# 0570039-001. Testing was conducted according to 

procedures stipulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection 

(FDEP) for fossil fuel steam generators, and requirements in Title V Permit # 

0570039-021-AV. 

1 
2.0 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

The particulate matter emission rate under soot blowing conditions was derived 

by performing three United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) 

Reference Method 5-B test runs. The average of the three test runs was 0.02 

lb/mmBtu. The FDEP permitted emission rate under soot blowing conditions is 

0.03 lb/mmBtu. 

The particulate matter emission rate under non-soot blowing conditions was 

derived by performing three USEPA Reference Method 5-B test runs. The 

average of the three test runs was 0.01 lb/mmBtu. The FDEP permitted 

emission rate under non-soot blowing conditions is 0.03 lb/mmBtu. 

The Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) emission rate was determined using data provided by 

the Continuous Emissions Monitoring System’s (CEMS), Data Acquisition and 

Handing System (DAHS). The average emission rate for the test period was 

determined to be 0.2 lb/mmBtu, and 693 lbs/hr. The FDEP allowable emission 

rate is 6.5 lbs/mmBtu based on a two hour average, and 3310 lbs/hr based on 

scenario 3 as listed in condition A.9 of the permit. 

Visible emissions were evaluated using a United Sciences, Incorporated, Model 

500C transmissometer (S/N 5001688), during both soot blowing and non-soot 

blowing testing. The 1-hour average opacity under soot blowing conditions was 

8.4%. The 1-hour average opacity under non-soot blowing conditions was 9.4%. 

The FDEP allowable emission rate is 20 percent opacity. 

During the test performed on May 17, 2007, Boiler No. 1 was operated at an 

average heat input rate of 3908 mmBtu/hr and an average load of 384 

megawatts. The average quantity of fuel burned was 164.4 tons per hour.

3.0 SOURCE DESCRIPTION/TEST PROCEDURES

Big Bend Station is located on Big Bend Road, Ruskin, Florida at UTM 

coordinates East 361.9 North 3075.0. The Boiler No. 1 particulate matter 

sampling location consists of a shared circular stack 29.83 feet in diameter with 

four sample ports located 90 degrees apart on the stack circumference. These 

ports are located downstream of the electrostatic precipitator and the FGD 

scrubber. The sampling ports were determined to be 8.77 diameters 

downstream of the transition ductwork and 2.43 diameters upstream of the stack 

exit. Using these criteria, a total of 12 sampling points were chosen for 

particulate sampling as stipulated in the USEPA Method 1 test procedure. During 

this test, Boiler No. 2 was not operating, and was isolated from the FGD module. 

A diagram of the stack sampling location is included in Figure 1 along with other 

pertinent information on the test site. 

Boiler No. 1 is serviced by an electrostatic precipitator for the control of flyash 

emissions, and a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system for control of sulfur 

dioxide emissions. 

During the test the boiler was fired with a solid fuel matrix comprised of 83.8% 

coal, 11.6% petroleum coke, and 4.6% residual. 

Particulate sampling was performed according to USEPA Method 5B 

"Determination of Nonsulfuric Acid Particulate Matter from Stationary Sources" 

Diluent gas sampling and analysis was performed according to USEPA Method 3 

"Gas Analysis for Determination of Emission Rate Correction Factor, or Excess 

Air”. Gas analysis was performed on-site using an Orsat analyzer. 

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) data were provided by the 

Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS), Data Acquisition and 

3 
Handling System (DAHS). Averages were derived from the time frame of 7:30 

through 18:18 on May 17, 2007. This data is included as Appendix B of this 

report. 

Visible emissions were assessed using the installed Continuous Opacity Monitor 

(COM), and the CEMS DAHS.
