Facility Profile

Petroleum Dry Cleaners -

Number of Dry Cleaners - 2 units

Max. Solvent Consumption- 3 (gallon/hr/unit) Estimated based on manufacturer's specifications.

Worst Case Solvent Density- 8.34 (lb/gal) Default = 8.34 lb/gal If site-specific information is used, provide a copy of MSDS for this solvent.

Worst Case VOC Content- 100% (%) by wt. Default = 100% If site-specific information is used, provide a copy of MSDS for this solvent.

Total Fuel Combustion Unit Capacity - 30 (MMBtu/hr)

Fuels Used

Natural Gas- Y (Y or N) Sulfur %

Propane- Y (Y or N) 15.0 Default = 15

Butane- N (Y or N) 15.0 Default = 15

Enter the facility's information below. 

Write the letter "Y" or "N" next to each fuel type to indicate that the facility does or does not burn that type of fuel. 

The facility wide emissions will be displayed on the "Output" sheet. Excel chooses the correct criteria pollutant emission rate depending on the type of fuels 

used.

Note:

1. Emission factors are from AP-42, Chapter 1.4, Tables 1.4-1 and 1.4-2 (updated 07/98).

2. PM10 emission factor is condensable and filterable PM combined. PM emission factor is for filterable PM only.

3. Assume PM2.5 emissions are equal to PM10 emissions.

Methodology

PTE (ton/yr) = Heat Input (MMBtu/hr) x 1 MMSCF/1,020 MMBtu x EF (lb/MMSCF) x 8760 hr/yr x 1 ton/2000 lb
