On October 8, 1997. a stack test was performed at the Denver Metal Fmisbiog Facility in Denver. This source is 

subject to the chromium mCf standard of 40 C. F. R. Pan 63, Subpart N. There are three hard chromium electroplating 

tanks and one decorative cbromiumelectroplating tank at the facility. The test was performed on the common stack for the 

three hatd chromium electroplating ranks. Unlike most hard chrome platlng facilities, no add-on air pollution control 

device is used to control emiss.i.m,s. Fume suppressants are the only controls used in order to ma.intaJn compliance with 

the standard. At one time, a packed bed scrubber was used to control emidODS, but the packing material was removed and 

the scrubbe:{ is now empty. The surface tension of tank 501 was measured at 34.t;i7 dynes/CD] on the day of the testing. 

Surface tension in tank 502 was 35.73 dynes/em and tank 503 was 37.16 dynes/em. 

The results of the It:StiDg are summarized in the table below. 

Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 Average 

Tank 501 Current (amps) 122 153 173 149 

Tauk 502 Current (amps) 700 700 700 700 ..

CImnnium Emissions (tonslp:) 0.11 0.37 0.59 0.36 

The results of the testing show this source to be in compliance with the cbxomium MACT emission standard for 

small existing bard chromium electroplaters of 0.030 mg/dscm. The source shouldmaintain the surface tension of the baths 

shoUld be majntained at or below 37 dyneslcm in order to show compliance on an ongoing basis. 

The decorative chromium electroplating tank must also measure surface tens10n in order to show compliance with 

the standard. The surface rension standard for decorative chromium electroplating tanks and cbIomium anodizing tanks is 

45 dynes/em. Records of surface tension measurements made from December 26 of 1995 through September 5 of 1997 

show that the su.rface tension did not exceed this level during that time The source must continue to measure and record 

the surface tension of lhis bath once every 40 hollIS of tank operation to show compliance with the standard. If a swface 

tension which exceeds this limit is recorded, the source xnust revert to performing these measurements every four hours of 

tanks operation. as per the measurement schedule contained in the standard.
