Executive Summarv 

Entec Services, Inc. was retained by Belden Brick Company to perform particulate and 

visible emissions testing on Brick Plant No. 2 Tunnel Kiln located in Sugarcreek, Ohio. 

Mr. Joseph Lotz, Mr. Eddie Rudloff and Mr. Lalan Kirby of Entec Services, Inc 

conducted the testing on August 24. 2005. Mr. John Jensen was present from Belden 

Brick and to coordinate testing with control room activities. Mr. Jeff Bowers from the 

State of Ohio Environmental Protection Agency observed these tests. 

Particulate and visible emissions were performed on the Brick Plant No.2 Tunnel Kiln 

which has a dry scrubber and a baghouse to control emissions .. 

No difficulties were encountered in the field collection of the samples or in the 

laboratory analysis of the samples by Entec Services, Inc. 

The particulate emissions test summary on the following page gives a detailed 

summary of each test run compared to the maximum emission limits set forth by the 

State of Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Tests results indicate the average 

particulate and visible emissions are below the limits set forth by the State of 

Ohio EPA for Facility Permit No. 06-79-00-0118, Facility Source Identification No.

Procedures 

The particulate emission rates were determined using EPA Methods 1-5, CFR Title 40, 

Part 60, Appendix A. The calibration and quality assurance procedures of EPA CFR 40 

Part 60 Appendix A for all methods, and the "Quality Assurance Handbook for Air 

Pollution Measurement System" Volume Ill Stationary Source-Specific Methods were 

followed throughout the duration of the field and laboratory testing. 

The most current revision revised as of July 1, 2004, of each method {as described in 

the Federal Register) was used. 

Stack Gas Volumetric Flow 

The velocity of the gas stream was determined according to EPA Reference Method 1 

and 2 by reading the instantaneous velocity head with an inclined manometer at each 

sampling point with a calibrated S-type pitot tube attached adjacent to the sample 

nozzle. The stack pressure was measured with the static side of an S-type pitot tube. 

A calibrated pyrometer was used to measure stack temperature at each sampling point. 

The stack was tested for cyclonic flow according to EPA Reference Method 1. 

Stack Gas Molecular Weight 

The carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations were determined using EPA Reference 

Method 3 (Fyrite Method). A sample of the flue gas was extracted from the gas stream 

during each test. These samples were analyzed with a Fyrite gas analyzer. The 

molecular weight of the gas was calculated using the moisture, oxygen and carbon 

dioxide content and the measured stack gas temperature. 

Moisture Content 

The moisture content used for calculating the gas stream flow rate was determined by 

measuring the amount of condensed moisture in the stainless steel condenser and 

silica gel impinger in the sampling train as described in EPA Reference Method 4 at the 

completion of each test.

The moisture collection system consists of four glass impingers. The first two impingers 

were charged with 100 ml each, the third empty, with the fourth charged with silica gel. 

Ice is placed around the impingers to maintain a temperature <68° F. The outlet 

temperature of the condenser is monitored and recorded throughout the duration of the 

testing to verify the temperature is below <68° F. 

Particulate Determination 

The particulate sample train consists of a heated stainless steel sample probe and liner 

equipped with a S-type Pitot tube and thermocouple. The probe is attached to a sample 

module consisting of a heated filter compartment which houses the in-line filter holder 

equipped with a pre-weighed glass fiber filter for the collection of the particulate and 

impingers for determining condensed moisture. The sample module is connected to a 

control module by means of an umbilical cord. The control module consist of a dry gas 

meter, calibrated orifice, leak free pump, two inclined manometers, temperature 

controllers for the heated filter compartment and probe and a thermocouple indicator to 

monitor the required temperatures during the testing. 

Particulate samples are collected as follows: The sample gas is drawn through the 

sampling probe isokinetically and passed through a 3-inch Whatman glass fiber filter 

where particulates are removed. The sample gas is then passed through the umbilical 

cord to an ice-cooled condenser and desiccant-packed column, which absorbs any 

remaining moisture. The sample gas then passes through a vacuum pump followed by 

a dry gas meter. The dry gas meter integrates the sample gas flow throughout the 

duration of the test. A calibrated orifice attached to the outlet of the dry gas meter 

provides real time flow rate data. 

A representative particulate sample is acquired by sampling for equal periods of time at 

the centroid of a number of equal area regions in the exhaust stack. The sampling rate 

is adjusted at each test point maintaining an isokinetic sampling condition. 

After the sampling is complete, the filter is removed and placed in a storage container 

for shipment back to the laboratory for analysis. The nozzle, probe liner and inlet side of 

the filter holder are quantively washed with a reagent grade acetone and stored in a 

marked and sealed container. The samples are transferred back to the laboratory were

I·· 
they are logged in and analyzed. The volume of acetone rinse is noted and transferred 

to a tarred fleaker and evaporated off at 97-105 °F. This temperature is used to prevent 

condensation of atmospheric moisture due to the cooling effects induced by the 

evaporating acetone. The acetone-free sample is placed in an oven and dried at 105 °C 

for thirty minutes and then placed in a desiccator. After the sample has desiccated for 

twenty-four hours the sample is weighed to the nearest 0.1 mg. The filter sample is 

transferred to the original petri dish in which the original weight was obtained and 

placed in a drying oven for 2 hours at 105 °C. The filter and petri dish are then placed in 

a desiccator. After the filter and petri dish have desiccated for twenty-four hours the 

sample is weighed to the nearest 0.1 mg. Visual examination of the samples are made 

to determine if any unusual characteristics of the samples are observed. The weight of 

the acetone rinse is corrected for the weight of the acetone blank.
