1.0 INTRODUCTION 

During 2009, Tampa Electric Company’s Environmental, Health, & Safety Air 

Services Group performed numerous Mercury (Hg) sampling/analysis tests as a 

part of an overall Hg survey at Big Bend Station. This report summarizes the 

activities at Big Bend Unit #1.

3.0 SOURCE DESCRIPTIONS/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 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. 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. 

Sampling was conducted using an Apex Instruments XC-6000 EPC Appendix K 

Sorbent Trap Monitoring System. Sorbent traps were analyzed in-house using an 

Ohio-Lumex RA – 915+ Zeeman Mercury Spectrometer with a RP-M324 

attachment. Details of operations, calibrations, and Quality Assurance/Control 

activities are presented in the appendices by test date,
