## 1.0 INTRODUCTION

On April 16, 2009, Tampa Elec tric Company’s, Environmental Services, Air Services
Group performed Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC s) source emission tests, on Unit

No. 1 at the Polk Power Station (PPS). Unit No. 1 is a combined cycle combustion

turbine generating unit. The combustion turb ine was fired with syngas from the solid

fuel gasification system. A blend of petrol eum coke and bituminous coal was gasified

for this test. Operations at PPS are authorized by the Florida Department of

Environmental Protection (FDEP) and permitt ed via Title V Permit No. 1050233-016-AV,

Section III, sub-section A.

Executive Summary Tampa Electric Company
Polk Power Station General Electric 7F Combined Cycle Combustion Turbine
Emission Unit ID -001

Solid Fuel Derived Synthetic Gas Compliance Parameter Test Result FDEP Permit Limit VOC, lbs/hr <1 3 Heat Input, mmBtu/hr 1687
-- Maximum Heat Input 1 1749
-- Unit Load (% of permit) 2 96% 90 – 100%

1 Maximum Heat Input is Permitted Maximum Heat Input Rate, 1755 mmBtu/hr @ 59o F, corrected to Average Ambient Temperature recorded during the test period.



### 2 Unit Load (% of permit) is Heat Input Divided by Maximum Heat Input times 100.



### The Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) ma ss emission rate was derived from three

Reference Method 18 test runs. The calc ulated average VOCs emission rate was <1

lbs/hr. The FDEP permitted emission rate is 3 lbs/hr based on a 30-day rolling average.

During the test Unit No. 1 was operated at an average heat input of 1687 mmBtu/hr.

The FDEP permitted heat input is 1755 mmBtu/h r, at an ambient te mperature of 59o
(corrected to 1749 mmBtu/hr based on an average inlet vane temperature of 86o F, and

the manufacturer’s heat input correction curv e for this unit). The unit operated at 96%

of permitted capacity.

## 3.0 SOURCE DESCRIPTION/TEST PROCEDURES

Polk Power Electrical Generat ing Station is located at County Road 630 approximately
13 miles southwest of Bartow, Polk County, Florida. Unit No. 1 is a Combined Cycle
Combustion Turbine generating unit, with a net capacity of 192 MW when fired with
Syngas fuel. The source sampling location c onsists of a circular stack 19 feet in

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

A diagram of the stack sampling locati on is included along with other pertinent

information on the test site.

Volatile Organic Compound sampling wa s performed in accordance with USEPA

Reference Method 18 “Measurement of Ga seous Organic Compound Emissions by Gas
Chromatography”. Analysis was performed by En thalpy Analytical, Inc. Three samples

were collected from the stack and one sample wa s collected at the stack testing location
for a background reading. The background reading was collected with the sampling

probe sitting on the decking at the sampling location. All four analytical results returned

concentrations between the Minimum Dete ction Limit (MDL) and the Limit of

Quantification (LOQ). Subt racting the background reading from the stack readings

resulted in a concentration value below the MDL. The MDL concentration was

substituted in the subsequent mass emission calculation.

Plant operational and fuel com position data was taken from the Plant Information (PI)

server system.

Notations to Data: All results (three samples and backgroud) returned analytical results between the Minimum Detection Limit of 0.112 ppm propane and the Limit of Quantification of 3.00 ppm propane. Subtracting the background from the samples, as allowed by permit, yields concentration values below the Minimum Detection Limit. As a conservative means of demonstrating compliance with the permitted emissions rate, the value of the Minimum Detection Limit (0.112 ppm propane) was used to

calculate the mass emission rate.
