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 #3.

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. 3 sampling location consists of a shared 

circular stack 28.83 feet in diameter with four sample ports located 90 degrees 

apart on the stack circumference. These ports are located downstream of the 

electrostatic precipitator, the SCR, and the FGD scrubber. The sampling ports 

were determined to be 3.0 diameters downstream of the transition ductwork and 

8.5 diameters upstream of the stack exit. 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, a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system for control of sulfur dioxide 

emissions, and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system for the control of 

oxides of nitrogen 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,
