Mosaic New Wales BART Exemption Modeling 

Mosaic New Wales has made federally enforceable changes to its operating permits to reduce 

emissions of visibility-impairing pollutants in order to meet the exemption criterion for the Best 

Available Retrofit Technology (BART) rule (62-296.340(5), F.A.C.). Specifically, they have 

provided for two options (scenarios A and B) that reduce emissions somewhat differently among 

the BART-eligible source, but both result in visibility improvement. Taking into consideration 

these emission reductions, Mosaic completed air quality modeling consistent with an approved 

modeling protocol submitted to the department. The EPA-approved CALPUFF dispersion 

model was used to determine visibility impacts on all federal Class I areas within 300 kilometers 

of the facility using three years of meteorological data derived from the MM5 meteorological 

model. This modeling was thoroughly reviewed by the department and determined to be 

appropriate for the purpose of meeting the exemption criteria of the BART rule. 

Visibility impacts were completed for two federal Class I areas: Chassahowitzka National 

Wilderness Area, located 104 kilometers from the facility and Everglades National Park (226 

kilometers).. The controlling area, that is the area with the greatest visibility impact from Mosaic 

New Wales, is Chassahowitzka. BART exemption modeling considered only the impacts from 

the BART-eligible sources within the facility. In this case, the No.’s 1, 2, and 3 sulfuric acid 

plants, DAP plant No. 1, MAP plant, AFI plant, multifos A and B kilns, dryer and blending 

operation, and various low emitting particulate-only sources In scenario A, Mosaic proposes that 

sulfuric acid mist emissions from SAP’s No. 1,2, and 3 are reduced from 14.0 to 7.1 lbs/hr; DAP 

plant No. 1 and AFI plant dryers are fired using only natural gas; multifos plant kilns A and B 

are shut-down; DAP plant No. 1 PM emissions are reduced from 28.6 to 15 lbs/hr; and, MAP 

plant PM emissions are reduced from 15 to 7 lbs/hr. In scenario B, SO2 emissions from SAP’s 

1, 2, and 3 each are reduced from 496 to 400 lbs/hr; sulfuric acid mist emissions from the SAP’s 

reduced from 14.0 to 6.7 lbs/hr; NOx emissions from the SAP’s reduced from 17 to 16 lbs/hr; 

DAP plant No. 1 and AFI plant dryers are fired using only natural gas; multifos A and B kilns 

dryer is fired with only natural gas and PM emissions are reduced from 29.8 to 25 lbs/hr; SO2 

emissions from the multifos A and B kilns dryer reduced from 316 to 25 lbs/hr; PM emissions 

from DAP plant No. 1 reduced from 28.6 to 16 lbs/hr; and, MAP plant PM emissions are reduced 

from 15 to 7 lbs/hr. 

The results of the modeling, considering both scenarios A and B for the controlling 

Chassahowitzka area, are shown below as taken from the complete modeling report submitted by 

Mosaic. 

Regional Haze SIP for Florida 

Exhibit 2

Page 375 of 703
The maximum visibility impact at the Chassahowitzka National Wilderness area under the 

scenario A plan is 0.490 deciviews (dv). Under the scenario B plan, the maximum visibility 

impact is 0.496 dv. Both of these values are less than the criterion for exemption from the 

BART rule of 0.5 dv. Based on the emission changes made in this permit, following either 

scenario A or scenario B, and the modeling performed by the applicant, the department 

concludes that the BART-eligible source at Mosaic New Wales is exempt from the BART rule 

requirements.

Work Activities 

-002 • Increase the catalyst loading ratio from approximately 147 liters per ton H2SO4 per day 

(L/TPD) at 3,400 TPD production rate to approximately 190 L/TPD at 3,200 TPD 

production rate {increases the current catalyst loading from approximately 498,400 

liters to 610,000 liters}; 

• Install a heat recovery system (HRS) to replace the interpass absorption (IPA) tower (If 

necessary, install/replace); 

• Replace the sulfur furnace (If necessary, install/replace); 

• Replace the drying tower (If necessary, install/replace); and 

• Install Brownian diffusion-type candles in the final absorption tower for SAM control. 

-003 • Increase the catalyst loading ratio from approximately 147 L/TPD at 3,400 TPD 

production rate to approximately 213 L/TPD at 3,200 TPD production rate {increases 

the current catalyst loading from approximately 498,400 liters to 610,000 liters}; 

• Install HRS to replace the IPA tower (If necessary, install/replace); 

• Replace the sulfur furnace (If necessary, install/replace); 

• Replace the drying tower (If necessary, install/replace); and 

• Install Brownian diffusion-type candles in the final absorption tower for SAM control. 

-004 • Increase the catalyst loading ratio from approximately 157 L/TPD at 3,400 TPD 

production rate to approximately 190 L/TPD at 3,200 TPD production rate {increases 

the current catalyst loading from approximately 535,200 liters to 610,000 liters}. 

-036 • Install caustic scrubber for each of the Multifos A and B Kilns.

standards. Emissions of SAM shall not exceed the following as demonstrated by stack test data: 

SAP No. lb/hour 

1 6.7 

2 6.7 

3 6.7 

Emissions of SAM shall not exceed 6.7 pounds per hour for each of the three SAPs based on a 3-hour 

average as determined by stack test data. 

{The equivalent lb SAM/ton 100% H2SO4 values for SAP Nos. 1, 2, and 3 at design capacity for each SAP is 

0.05 lb SAM/ton 100% H2SO4. The equivalent lb/ton value corresponding to the lb/hour limits is less than 

the current existing standards. The equivalent tons per year (TPY) values for SAP Nos. 1, 2, and 3 is 29.3 

TPY. This permit requires stack test data to be used to demonstrate compliance. Compliance with the 3-hour 

average by stack test assures compliance with a numerical standard on a 24-hour (daily) average basis. The 

air dispersion modeling was performed using a 24-hour (daily) average.}

Mosaic Riverview BART Exemption Modeling 

Mosaic Riverview specifically made changes to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfuric acid 

mist, as contained in this permit, to meet exemption criteria in the Best Available Retrofit 

Technology (BART) rule (62-296.340, F.A.C.). Taking into consideration these emission 

reductions, Mosaic completed air quality modeling consistent with an approved modeling 

protocol submitted to the department. The EPA-approved CALPUFF dispersion model was used 

to determine visibility impacts on all federal Class I areas within 300 kilometers of the facility 

using three years of meteorological data derived from the MM5 meteorological model. This 

modeling was thoroughly reviewed by the department and determined to be appropriate for the 

purpose of meeting the exemption criteria of the BART rule. 

Visibility impacts were completed for three federal Class I areas: Chassahowitzka National 

Wilderness Area, located 87 kilometers from the facility; Everglades National Park (239 

kilometers); and, St. Marks National Wilderness Area (291 kilometers). The controlling area, 

that is the area with the greatest visibility impact from Mosaic Riverview, is Chassahowitzka. 

BART exemption modeling considered only the impacts from the BART-eligible sources within 

the facility. In this case, the No.s 7, 8, and 9 sulfuric acid plants, molten sulfur storage tanks 1, 

2, and 3, and molten sulfur storage and handling pits 7, 8, and 9. The results of the modeling for 

the controlling Chassahowitzka area is shown below as taken from the complete modeling report 

submitted by Mosaic. 

The maximum visibility impact at any of the three federal Class I areas is 0.494 deciviews (dv). 

This value is less than the criterion for exemption from the BART rule of 0.5 dv. Based on the 

emission changes made in this permit and the modeling performed by the applicant, the 

department concludes that the BART-eligible source at Mosaic Riverview is exempt from the 

BART rule requirements.

Descriptions: 

The Molten Sulfur Storage and Handling System consists of storage tank nos. 1, 2 and 3 (capacity 

of 19,845 tons each), covered storage pit nos. 7, 8 and 9 (capacity of 127 tons, 127 tons, and 160 

tons respectively), a ship unloading dock, truck loading station and associated transfer pumps and 

piping for storage and handling of molten sulfur. 

Molten sulfur from ships may be transferred to any combination of the three molten sulfur storage 

tanks at a combined maximum total of 2,277,081 tons of molten sulfur per any consecutive 12-

month period. These tanks then transfer molten sulfur to the molten sulfur storage pits at the 

sulfuric acid plants (SAPs) and also to the molten sulfur truck loading station. 

The three molten sulfur storage pits are located at the three sulfuric acid plants. The pits receive 

molten sulfur from the molten sulfur storage tanks and/or by truck. Each of the storage pits may 

receive molten sulfur at a constant rate of 336 tons per hour. Each storage pit is allowed to transfer 

molten sulfur to each SAP at a maximum throughput rate of 492,361 tons per consecutive 12-month 

period. 

Initial construction of the three molten sulfur storage tanks and three molten sulfur storage pits was 

before August 7, 1977. 

Air Pollution Control Systems and Measures: A wet scrubber is currently used to control 

particulate matter (PM) emissions from the molten sulfur storage tank nos. 1, 2 and 3 as well as the 

truck loading station. Emissions from loading the three molten sulfur storage pits are uncontrolled, 

although they are equipped with covers. 

Monitoring: The scrubber pressure drop and liquid flow rate are recorded once every 8-hour shift. 

{Permitting notes: These emissions units are currently regulated under Rule 62-212.400, F.A.C., Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration (PSD) PSD-FL-315/0570008-036-AC; Rule 62-296.320, F.A.C., General Pollutant

No. 7 Sulfuric Acid Plant 

No. 8 Sulfuric Acid Plant 

No. 9 Sulfuric Acid Plant 

Descriptions: 

Sulfuric Acid Plants (SAPs) No. 7, No. 8 and No. 9 have a design capacity of 3,200 tons per day 

(TPD), 2,700 TPD, and 3,400 TPD of 100% sulfuric acid, respectively. Each SAP recovers a 

portion of the waste heat (steam) for process use and to generate electricity. Waste heat recovery 

reduces plume visibility. There are two electrical generators at each SAP, rated at 35 kilowatts 

(kW) and 36 kW for a total of 71 kW. These plants are sulfur burning, double conversion, double 

absorption plants of Leonard-Monsanto design. Sulfur is burned with dried atmosphere oxygen to 

produce sulfur dioxide (SO2). The sulfur dioxide is catalytically oxidized to sulfur trioxide (SO3) 

over a catalyst bed. The sulfur trioxide is then absorbed in sulfuric acid. The remaining sulfur 

dioxide, not previously oxidized, is passed over a final converter bed of catalyst and the sulfur 

trioxide produced is then absorbed in sulfuric acid. SAP Nos. 7, 8 and 9 began operating in 1961, 

1965, 1974, respectively. 

Air pollution control systems and measures: The control of SO2 emissions is primarily by the 

process itself. Currently, a double conversion, double absorption plant efficiently converts SO2 to 

SO3 then SO3 reacts in a mixture of water and sulfuric acid to produce sulfuric acid. In a double 

absorption system, the conversion efficiency from SO2 to SO3 is at least 99.7%. All three plants use 

a vanadium catalyst in the converters, except that in the 4th pass of the SAP No. 9 a cesium 

promoted catalyst is used. The current catalyst bed volumes in the No. 7 SAP are 102,000 liters in 

the 1st pass, 112,000 liters in the 2nd pass, 155,000 liters in the 3rd pass, and 209,000 liters in the 4th

pass; for a total of 578,000 liters. The current total catalyst volume in the No. 8 SAP is 472,000 

liters. The current total catalyst volume in the No. 9 SAP is 508,000 liters. Sulfuric acid mist 

(SAM) emissions are controlled by the use of high efficiency acid mist eliminators (demister pads) 

or impaction-type glass fiber collection devices. Best operational practices are followed to 

minimize excess emissions during startup and shutdown. 

Monitors: Each SAP is equipped with an existing SO2 continuous emissions monitoring system 

(CEMS). The SO2 CEMS have been required by the circa 1977 Standards of Performance for New 

Stationary Sources (NSPS). The CEMS installed for SAP No. 7 is an Ametek Model 4600B. SAP 

Nos. 8 and 9 each have an Ametek/Dupont Model 40/460 CEMS. 

Stack Parameters: Emissions not absorbed by each double absorption system are vented through 

each individual SAP’s 150 foot stack. The stack exhaust gas characteristics for SAP Nos. 7, 8 and 9 

are: exhaust gas temperatures of 170, 150 & 152 oF; exhaust gas flow rates 122,000, 105,000 & 

149,000 acfm; and, stack diameters of 7.5, 8.0 & 9.0 feet.

CF Industries BART Exemption Modeling 

CF Industries has made federally enforceable changes to its operating permits to reduce 

emissions of visibility-impairing pollutants in order to meet the exemption criterion for the Best 

Available Retrofit Technology (BART) rule (62-296.340(5), F.A.C.). Specifically, they have 

provided for two options (scenarios A and B) that reduce emissions somewhat differently among 

the BART-eligible source, but both result in visibility improvement. Taking into consideration 

these emission reductions, CF Industries completed air quality modeling consistent with an 

approved modeling protocol submitted to the department. The EPA-approved CALPUFF 

dispersion model was used to determine visibility impacts on all federal Class I areas within 300 

kilometers of the facility using three years of meteorological data derived from the MM5 

meteorological model. This modeling was thoroughly reviewed by the department and 

determined to be appropriate for the purpose of meeting the exemption criteria of the BART rule. 

Visibility impacts were completed for four federal Class I areas: Chassahowitzka National 

Wilderness Area (NWA), located 70 kilometers (km) from the facility, Everglades National Park 

(261 km), Okefenokee NWA (263 km), and Saint Marks NWA (273 km). The controlling area, 

that is the area with the greatest visibility impact from CF Industries, is Chassahowitzka. BART 

exemption modeling considered only the impacts from the BART-eligible sources within the 

facility. In this case, the “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” sulfuric acid plants (SAP), the “A”, “X”, “Y”, 

and “Z” DAP/MAP plants, and the “A” and “B” shipping baghouses. 

In scenario A (the reduced production scenario), CF Industries proposes that the “A” SAP SO2 

emissions are reduced from 250.0 lb/hr to 75.8 lb/hr, 24-hour average, the “B” SAP SO2 

emissions are reduced from 233.3 lb/hr to 93.3 lb/hr, 24-hour average, and the “C” and “D” 

SAPs SO2 emissions are each reduced from 401.1 lb/hr to 303.3 lb/hr, 24-hour average. In 

addition, there would be reduced production capacities for the “C” and “D” SAPs from 2962 to 

2600 tons per day (TPD) each of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). NOx reductions would also occur as a 

result of the production decrease in the “C” and “D” SAPs, each reducing from 13.6 lb/hr to 11.9 

lb/hr. Similarly, there would be a reduction in sulfuric acid mist (SAM) as a result of the 

production decrease in these units from 11.4 lb/hr to 10.1 lb/hr, each. 

In scenario B (the converter replacement scenario), the “A” SAP SO2 emissions are reduced 

from 250.0 to 81.3 lbs/hr, the “B” SAP SO2 emissions from 233.3 to 100.0 lb/hr, the “C” and 

“D” SAPs SO2 emissions from 401.1 to 241.7 lb/hr each, all over a 24-hour average. Production 

in the “C” and “D” SAPs would also be slightly reduced from 2962 to 2900 TPD each. Again, 

the result of the production decrease will reduce NOx and SAM emissions. NOx emissions in 

the “C” and “D” SAPs are reduced from 13.6 to 13.3 lb/hr, and SAM emissions are reduced from 

11.4 to 11.2 lb/hr, each.

Exhibit 2

Page 411 of 703
The results of the modeling, considering both scenarios A and B for the controlling 

Chassahowitzka area, are shown below as taken from the complete modeling report submitted by 

CF Industries. 

The maximum visibility impact at the Chassahowitzka National Wilderness area under the 

scenario A plan is 0.499 deciviews (dv). Under the scenario B plan, the maximum visibility 

impact is 0.433 dv. Both of these values are less than the criterion for exemption from the 

BART rule of 0.5 dv. Based on the emission changes made in this permit, following either 

scenario A or scenario B, and the modeling performed by the applicant, the department 

concludes that the BART-eligible source at CF Industries is exempt from the BART rule 

requirements.

PROPOSED PROJECT

The project involves the conversion of the existing 150 MWg Brooksville Power Plant that currently 

utilizes a pulverized coal-fired boiler to a 70 to 80 MWg power plant utilizing clean woody biomass as 

fuel in a grate-suspension boiler. Consequently, the project will require internal structural modifications 

to the pulverized coal boiler to convert it to a biomass-fired grate-suspension boiler. The electrical 

generating unit building will also be modified. The existing steam turbine electric generator will be 

retained to generate electrical power. The project will include new fuel storage and handling systems and 

the construction of a new multi-pollutant control system. Emission from the multi-pollutant control 

system will be emitted to the atmosphere through a new exhaust stack separate from the one currently 

shared with the CEMEX cement plant. The existing emergency generator and emergency ditch pump 

engine will be retained. The fuel feedstock for the project will consist of clean woody biomass and will 

be delivered by truck to the project site. Ultralow sulfur distillate fuel oil and natural gas will be used for 

grate-suspension boiler startup, shutdown and bed stabilization. Ultralow sulfur distillate fuel oil fuel oil 

will also be used in the emergency equipment. Following conversion, the power plant will no longer be 

permitted to fire coal.

The project will incorporate the following pollution control equipment and measures: 

• Efficient combustion in the grate-suspension boiler and emergency equipment to minimize formation 

of particulate matter (PM), PM with a mean diameter of 10 microns or less (PM10), PM with a mean 

diameter of 2.5 microns or less (PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile 

organic compounds (VOC);

• Limitation of fuel to clean woody biomass to minimize sulfur dioxide (SO2) and hazardous air 

pollutant (HAP) formation, including hydrogen chloride (HCl) and hydrogen fluoride (HF); 

• Use of inherently clean fossil fuels for startup, shutdown and bed stabilization of the grate-suspension 

boiler and the operation of emergency equipment; 

• An oxidation catalyst to reduce CO, VOC and organic HAP; 

• Ammonia (NH3) injection into a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reactor to destroy NOX and help 

in the reduction of organic HAP and dioxin/furan (D/F);

• An in-duct sorbent injection system (IDSIS) utilizing milled trona, lime or sodium bicarbonate to 

control SO2, HCl, HF and other acid gas HAP; 

• An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) to further control PM/PM10/PM2.5, including metal HAP, and to 

remove injected sorbents; and, 

• Reasonable precautions and best management practices to minimize emissions from biomass 

handling, storage and processing, ash (bottom and fly) handling, storage and shipment and sorbent 

handling and storage. 

The project will incorporate the following emission measurement systems:

• Continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) for CO, SO2 and NOX; and, 

• A continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) for opacity (visible emissions, VE). 

The existing facility consists of the CEMEX cement plant with two kilns and the coal-fired power plant. 

The power plant is addressed by this permitting action. Cement kiln No. 1 and the power plant currently 

share a common baghouse to control PM emissions along with a stack. The baghouse and stack are

identified as Emission Unit (EU) 020 at the existing facility. As shown in the table below, this project 

involves the following EU at the existing facility (Facility ID 0530021). As a result of this project the 

new EU numbers identified in the table will be used at the power plant with a new facility ID of 0530380.

Section I. Facility Information.

Subsection A. Facility Description.

This facility consists of phosphate rock dryer, truck and railcar unloading operation for

phosphate rock, animal feed ingredient (AFI) and chemicals (MAP, DAP, GTSP),

product storage, and ammonia handling and storage.

The facility can dry phosphate rock using a single dryer firing natural gas or fuel oil. Wet

phosphate rock can be trucked or delivered by railcar to the facility and stored outside

until processed. The dried phosphate rock is stored within enclosed storage silos until

transported off site by ship or barge. The majority of the dry phosphate rock handling

operations are enclosed to control fugitive dust emissions.

Additionally, the terminal does receive dry phosphate rock, AFI and MAP, DAP, GTSP

by railcar and truck. The products can be transferred directly to a shiphold or stored in

silos (rock and AFI) or chemical storage buildings (MAP, DAP, GTSP). This facility is

subject to PM-RACT and the monitoring requirements, along with daily visible emissions

readings, fuel sampling, and annual PM and EPA Method 9 testing, have been determined

by the Agency to satisfy the requirements of 40CFR70.6 and Chapter 62-296, F.A.C.

Also included in this permit are miscellaneous insignificant emissions units and/or

activities.

Based on the initial Title V permit application received June 14, 1996, this facility is not

a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).

ID No. Brief Description

-002 Railcar Unloading Scrubber

-004 C17 transfer point E

EU No. 2: For the operation of a railcar unloading operation. Railcars are pulled into a

partially enclosed structure and unloaded through grates in the floor of the structure into

six hoppers. Emissions from each hopper are vented to a dry cyclone. Butterfly valves in

the riser pipe routed to each dry cyclone will be used to isolate or shut off air flow to

hoppers not being used. Typically four of the six hoppers are used during unloading

operations. Dry phosphate rock is transferred from the unloading hoppers to conveyor

C17 for subsequent storage in silos via conveyors C19 and C38, or it is transferred for

shiploading via conveyors C18, C12, and C13. Fertilizer products (Diammonium

Phosphate (DAP), Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP), Animal Feed Ingredient (AFI),

and Granular Triple Superphosphate (GTSP)) are transferred from the unloading hoppers

to conveyor C17 for subsequent shiploading via conveyors C18, C12, and C13.

Particulate matter emissions generated from the railcar unloading of dry phosphate rock,

MAP, GTSP, and AFI are controlled by six dry cyclones followed by a 100,000 ACFM

Amerex Type C Venturi scrubber. Particulate matter emissions generated from the railcar

unloading of DAP are controlled by the application of a dust suppressant oil applied to

the product at the chemical processing facility prior to shipping. The scrubber will

operate during the unloading of DAP as needed.
