Executive Summary 

Boral Brick, located in Augusta, Georgia was retained Entec Services, Inc. to perform 

emissions testing on the Kiln DIFF system (inlet duct and exhaust stack). Mr. Tim 

Draheim, Mr. Jason English, Mr. Eddie Rudloff, and Mr. Ryan Harris of Entec Services, 

Inc. conducted the testing on Nov. 1 and 2, 2006. Representing Boral Brick was Mr. 

Frank Porter who coordinated testing with the control room production activity. 

No difficulties were encountered in the field collection or in the laboratory analysis of the 

samples by Entec Services, Inc personnel. 

The test summaries for both plants are on the following pages with the detailed analysis 

for particulate, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride for each run. The total 

reduction efficiency has been detailed for Plant 5 on the emissions summary page.

Sampling Procedures 
Procedures 

The emission rates were determined using EPA Methods 1-5, 9, & 26A of 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 III 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 previously for cyclonic flow according to EPA Reference Method 

1. 

Stack Gas Molecular Weiqht 

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 

weighing the amount of condensed moisture collected in the impingers of the sampling 

train as described in EPA Reference Method 4 at the completion of each test. The 

moisture content will be conducted in conjunction with EPA Method 26A. 

The moisture collection system consists of a series of impingers. Ice is placed around 

the impingers to maintain a temperature <680 F. The outlet temperature of the 
impingers is monitored and recorded throughout the duration of the testing to verify the 

temperature is below <680 F. 

Particulate with Hydrogen Chloride and Hydrogen Fluoride, (HCI/HF) 

Preliminary data was used to determine stack temperature, pressure, and range of 

velocity heads, moisture content and stack gas dry molecular weight prior to sampling. 

The meter box was leak checked from the pump to the orifice. Initial and final leak 

checks of the sampling system and pitot lines were performed as outlined in Method 5 

and were recorded on the data sheets. The nozzle (glass with an angle of taper of 30 

degrees and of button hook design) was calibrated before and after the test using a 

micrometer and was recorded on the field data sheets. 

The sampling probe was placed at each sampling point to provide a total sampling time 

of sixty (60) minutes. The gases were drawn through a glass nozzle attached to a 

heated glass lined probe. The probe was maintained at the proper settings to obtain 

an exit temperature of greater than 2480 F during sampling. The gases then proceeded 

through borosilicate glass filter holder, with a Teflon frit filter support through a Teflon 

filter to remove particulate matter. The filter was maintained at a temperature of greater 

than 248 0 F. These temperatures were recorded at each point on the field data sheets. 

The gases were then scrubbed through a series of four pre-weighed impingers to 

capture hydrogen halides and halogens and moisture. (The optional first impinger for a 

knockout for moisture was not used.) The first and second impingers contained 

approximately 100 ml of a 0.1N H2SO,• (acid) solution and the third and fourth impingers 

contained approximately 100 ml of a 0.1 N NaOH (alkaline) solution. The fifth impinger 

contained pre weighed silica gel to remove any remaining moisture. The gases pass 

through the impinger series in an ice bath to maintain a maximum exit temperature of 

68 0 F. This temperature was also recorded on the data sheets. The clean and cool 

gases then entered the meter box where the gas flow and temperature were measured. 

After the completion of the test the sampling train and the probe nozzle assembly was 

transferred to the cleanup area making sure no particulate was lost. The cleanup data 

was recorded. 
The first and second impinger contents were transferred to its tared container, weighed 

and the rinsing from the glassware were added to this container. The third and fourth 

impinger was transferred to its respective tared container, weighed and the rinsing from 

the glassware was added to this container. The silica gel from the fifth impinger was 

transferred to its respective tared container and weighed. A blank of the sulfuric acid 

solution, sodium hydroxide, distilled water and acetone was taken. These containers 

were clearly marked and transported to the laboratory for analysis. 

Visual Emissions 

The qualified observer stood at a distance sufficient to provide a clear view of the 

emissions with the sun oriented in the 140 ° sector to his back. Consistent with 

maintaining the above requirement, the observer did, as much as possible, make his 

observations from a position such that his line of vision is approximately perpendicular 

to the plume direction. The observer's line of sight did not include more than one plume 

at a time when multiple stacks are involved, and in any case the observer did make his 

observations with his line of sight perpendicular to the longer axis of such a set of 

multiple stacks (e.g., stub stacks on bag-houses). The observer recorded the name of 

the plant, emission location, facility type, observer's name and affiliation, and the date 

on a field data sheet. The time, estimated distance to the emission location, 

approximate wind direction, estimated wind speed, description of the sky condition 

(presence and color of clouds), and plume background are recorded on the field data 

sheets at the time opacity readings are initiated and completed. Observations were 

made in fifteen-second intervals and recorded in increments of 5%. The baghouse was 

observed for three one hour runs in conjunction with the Method 5 testing.
