Submitted By: AIR SYSTEMS TESTING, INC. P.O. Box 6278 Marietta, GA 30065 (404) 426-0447

BRUCE LAWRIEE.P.A. TEST PROCEDURES

The testing procedures followed were according to Methods 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 

### 13; for location of sampling points; measuring of stack gas velocity and volumetric flow rate; determination of particulate concentrations; determination of NOX concentrations; determination of SOz emission concentrations; determination of opacity ernissions; and determination of fluoride emission concentrations. These methods can be found in the Code of Federal Regulafions, Title 40, Parts 53-60, revised as of July 1, 1990. 

### Method 1, determination of number and location of sampling points, was used to calculate the location of the twelve points used on each traverse. EPA Method 2 was used to calculate the stack gas velocity and volumetric flow rate. The S-type pitot tube on the pitot-probe assembly was fabricated according to design criteria in Method 2 that allows a pitot coefficient of 0.84 to be used in the calculations. Stack gas temperatures used in the velocity calculations were obtained with a type "K" thermocouple and digital thermometer. Leak checks were performed on the pitot-manometer assembly after each test and showed no leak.
Method 5, Determination of Particulate Emission Concentrations, was used to determine particulate emissions. The sampling train consisted of a calibrated nozzle, , union, heated glass liner, glass fiber filter and filter holder, four impingers, umbilical cord, pump, and control console. Impinger outlet and dry gas meter temperatures were monitored throughout the test with type "K" 

### thermocouples. The dry gas meter in the control console was calibrated against a Rockwell S-415 test meter that had been standardized with a Rockwell #1464 Bell Prover. A

### SAMPLING PROCEDURES



### The sampling locations for the testing were on a specially constructed platforms on the exhaust stacks. A wooden platform was used on each of the test ports to support the filter/impinger box while the probe traversed the stack. Prior to each test, the sampling train was assembled for testing. An 80% isopropanol solution was placed in impinger one, and a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution in impingers two and three. 200.0 grams (g) of silica gel was placed in impinger number 4. The probe was secured in the sampling box, the filter holder assembly was installed, and the system was ready for pre-test leak checks. After each test, leak checks were performed on each sampling train and each side of the pitot tubes. In each of the test repetitions, all leak checks were within the allowable limitations. Next, the train was disassembled. The filter holder was removed and sealed to prevent loss of particulate matter. The probe and nozzle were cleaned with reagent grade acetone, with all sample exposed' surfaces brushed and rinsed at least six times to insure all particulate matter was removed. This rinse was saved in a 500 ml polyethylene bottle. Next, the contents of impingers two and three were measured with a graduated cylinder, and saved for further analysis. The silica gel was returned to its container and sealed.

### 7Method 8, Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Stationary Sources,



### was used to determine S02 concentrations. The particulate test train was modified by replacing the distilled water normally used in the first two impingers with a 80% isopropanol solution in impinger one, and a 3°k hydrogen peroxide solution in impingers two and three.


### Method 13B, Determination of Fluoride Emission Concentrations, was used to determine fluoride emissions. The sampling train consisted of a calibrated nozzae, union, probe with 316 stainless steel liner heated with 50 feet of 0.4 ohms per foot of nichrome wire, three impingers, Whatman number one filter and filter holder, silica gel impinger, umbilical cord, pump, and control console. 

### Impinger outlet and dry gas meter temperatures were monitored throughout the test with type "K" thermocouples. The dry gas meter in the control console was 

### calibrated against a Rockwell S-415 test meter that had been standardized with a Rockwell #1464 Bell Prover.
