1.0 INTRODUCTION

On March 8, 2006, the Environmental Services, Air Services Group of Tampa 

Electric Company, performed source emission tests at the Big Bend Station, 

Boiler No. 3, emissions unit I.D.# 0570039-003. 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 # 0570039-017-AV.

2.0 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

The particulate matter emission rate under sootblowing conditions was derived 

from 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 allowable emission rate under soot blowing conditions is 0.03 

lb/MMBtu, as listed in condition A.7. 

The particulate matter emission rate under non-sootblowing conditions was 

derived from three USEPA Reference Method 5-B test runs. The average of the 

three test runs was 0.02 lb/MMBtu. The FDEP allowable emission rate under 

non-sootblowing conditions is 0.03 lb/MMBtu, as listed in condition A.7. 

The sulfur dioxide emission rate was determined using data provided by the 

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

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

determined to be 609 lbs/hr. The FDEP allowable emission rate is 3374 lbs/hr, 

based on scenario 3 as listed in condition A.9.e. 

Visible emissions were evaluated using a Teledyne Instruments/Monitor Labs, 

LightHawk 560 transmissometer system (S/N 5600448/5600446), during both 

sootblowing and non-sootblowing testing. The 1-hour average opacity under 

sootblowing conditions was 4.2%. The 1-hour average opacity under nonsootblowing conditions was 4.6%. The FDEP allowable emission rate is 20%, as 

listed in condition A.6. 

During the tests performed on March 8, 2006, Boiler No. 3 was operated at an 

average heat input rate of 4057 mmBtu/hr and an average load of 392 

megawatts. The average quantity of fuel burned was 174.8 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 common stack 3 (CS003) source 

sampling location consists of a circular stack 28.83 feet in diameter with four 

sample ports located 90 degrees apart on the stack circumference. Upstream 

and downstream gas flow disturbances were determined to be 8.51 and 2.99 

stack diameters from the test ports, respectively. Using these criteria, a total of 

24 sampling points were chosen for particulate sampling, as stipulated in USEPA 

Method 1 – “Sample and Velocity Traverses for Stationary Sources”. A diagram 

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

information on the test site. 

Boiler No. 3 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. 

Particulate matter sampling was performed according to USEPA Method 5B 

"Determination of Nonsulfuric Acid Particulate Matter from Stationary Sources". 

Particulate matter was collected on a high purity, borosilicate microfiber filter 

measuring 82mm in diameter. This data is included as Appendix A, and 

summarized on pages 6 (soot blowing conditions), and 7 (non-soot blowing 

conditions) of this report. 

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 

Handling System (DAHS). Averages were derived from the time frame of 11:57 

through 20:00 EST, corresponding to the time frame of the particulate matter 
4 

test. Data from 16:02 through 16:05 was not included in the averaging due to 

probe blowback (normal operations to ensure that the sampling system remains 

clean). This data is included as Appendix B, and summarized on page 8 of this 

report. 

Visible emissions were assessed using the installed Continuous Opacity Monitor 

(COM) system. This data is summarized on pages 9 (soot blowing conditions), 

and 10 (non-soot blowing conditions).
