1.0 INTRODUCTION 

ERD Environmental Inc. conducted an emission test program at the American 

" Nickeloid facility in Walnutport, Pennsylvania. The date of the evaluation was January 21, 1997. 

The purpose of the test program was to evaluate compliance with applicable Pennsylvania 

Department of Environmental Protection (pADEP) and the Environmental Protection Agenc¥,.s 

regulations under NESHAP governing a chrome plating operation. The objectives of the 

evaluation were to determine emission levels of total chromium, Stack testing was performed for 

the following parameters at the mist eliminator exhaust: 

Total Chromium' • . Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide 

Volumetric Flow Rate 

Stack Gas Moisture 

Presented in thi~ report are the complete results of the test program.

3.0 SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES 

3.1 INTRODUCTION 

The procedures employed for testing are as defined in detail in the following US 

EPA Reference Methods found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 60, Appendi~ A 

(40 CFR60): 

Method 1 

Method 2 

"Sample and Velocity Traverses for Stationary Sources"; 

"Determination of Stack Gas Velocity and Volumetric Flow Rate (Type S 

Pitot Tube)"; 

. . Method 3 "Gas Analysis for the Detennination QfDry Molecular Weight"; 

Method 4 "Determination of Moisture Content in Stack Gases"; 

Method 306 "Determination of Chromium Emission from Decorative and Hard 

Chromium Electroplating and Anodizing Operations" . . . The remainder of this section is presented to summarize the test procedures. 

3.2 SAMPLING LOCATION 

Sampling was conducted at the outlet of the mist eliminator. Flow measurement 

was also conducted at this location. ERD Environmental accomplished a characterization of the 

flow patterns for each stack port arrangement to ensure the absence of cyclonic flow. This 

measurement took place prior to the conduct of the emission compliance test. 

3.3 VOLUMETRIC FLOW 

The procedures and apparatus employed for flow measurement are as defined in 

EPA Methods 1-4. Volumetric stack gas flow was measured using a type S pitot tube assembly. 

All pitot tubes were calibrated using the procedures in Method 2, Section 4.1.2 and meet the 

construction criteria of Section 4.1. A type K thermocouple was used for measuring stack gas 

temperature. The barometric pressure measurement required during the test was obtained using 

an aneroid barometer which was brought into the field by the test crew. The aneroid barometer 

was calibrated using a mercury barometer before leaving the office.

3.4 CHROMIUM TESTING 

4 

EPA Methpd 306 "Determination of Chromium Emissions from Decorative and 

Hard Chromium Electroplating and Anodizing Operations" was employed in characterizing Cr 

concentration and emission rate from the plating operation. A gaseous sample was extracted from 

the exhaust gas stream using an unheated EPA method 5 sampling train. A glass nozzle and " . 

. ~. 

probe liner were used. The filter was omitted. Chromium emission are collected in an alkaline 

solution of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Subsequent laboratory analysis was performed by 

inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP). 

Sampling was conducting isokentically at 12 traverse points across the stack for a 

test duration of 130 minutes collecting a minimum sample ?f S~ dscf. Throughout the testing 

period, meter readings, temperatures and pressure readings were recorded at 5 minute intervals. 

Following each sample run, all of the glassware including connection glassware, probe line, nozzle 

were rinsed three time with O.IN NaOH solution. The impinger solution volume was measured. 

Gas sampling for ~he determination of dry gas molecular weight was performed by 

EPA Reference Method 3 procedures. An Orsat apparatus was used for the measurement of O2 

and CO2 concentrations. 

Gaseous samples were extracted from the exhaust at a constant rate. A 

three-point traverse was made at locations 16.7%,50.0% and 83.3% across the stack diameter. 

A stainless steel probe was used followed by a teflon sample line. Moisture removal took place in 

an ice-cooled coil condenser. After passing through a teflon-lined diaphragm pump, the sample 

was collected in a leak-free tedlar bag. Tedlar bags were leak-checked in accordance with 

Method lOA Section 4. A portion of the bag sample was analyzed for CO2 and O2 content. Orsat 

analysis provides for the selective absorption of oxygen in alkaline pyrogallic and carbon dioxide 

in potassium hydroxide solutions. The difference in gas volume before and after the absorption 

represents the amount of constituent gas in the sample. Constant temperature and pressure was 

maintained during the analysis. 

Stack gas moisture content was determined using EPA Reference Method 4 

procedures. The impinger sampling train incorporating sodium hydroxide and silica gel was used 

for moisture capture. The net increase in the weight of the two reagents were recorded as volume 

of water collected (1 gram = 1 milliliter). Dry gas meters used in the sampling train were 

calibrated in accordance with EPA Method 5 Section 7.2.

CASE NARRATIVE 

Project #: 70107 

Client: ERD Environmental 

Client Project ID: 2333 

Samples: 

Report Date: 17-Feb-:~7 

The samples submitted consisted of three impiuger solutions and a blank. All 

were received intact with no apparent leakage. The "target element was chromium 

only. 

Preparation: 

The samples were prepared and analyzed according to EPA Method 306, 

Determination of Chromium Emissions from Decorative and Hard Chromium 

Electroplating and Anodizing Operations .. 

Analysis: 

Chromium was determined by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption 

Spectrophotometry (GF AA). 

Results: 

Chromium was measurable in all of the samples. The levels of chromium in 

the samples ranged from about 6 p.g to 19 ",g. 

Quality Control: 

Chromium was not detected in the blank. The spike recovery (102 %) was 

well within the normal range of 75 % to 125 %.

As per your request, I am submitting to you an enclosed process schematic, and a 

description of the process, as follows: 

Hexavalent chromium is plated onto continuous coil product in a chrome plating tank, powered 

by five DC power supplies (rectifiers). Due to rinses, water is accumulated in the bath and is 

therefore pumped to an evaporator. This will drain back to the plating tank. The plating tank is 

hooded for ventilation, and this airstream passes through the evaporator. A new demister, 

downstream of the evaporator, will reduce the chromium content within this airstream. There are 

several pumps doing such things as circulating solution to the plating tank and transfering solution 

to a storage tank. These pumps have water-cooled mechanical seals, thus, a water coolant tank 

and water pump exist to handle this need. This tank is what collects the demister's wash-down. 

Some process data that PADEP requested is listed below. 

Pressure drop across demister = 1. 6 - 1. 7 in. water column 

Water flow rate to demister = 5 - 7 gallons per hour 

Typical plating voltages = 6 - 9 volts on each of 5 rectifiers 

Typical plating currents = 2000 - 3000 amps on each of 5 rectifiers 

Very truly yours,

The American Nickeloid Company, hereby submits initial notification to the Administrator in 

accordance with Subpart N: National Emission Standards for Chromium Emissions from Hard 

and Decorative Chromium Electroplating and Chromium Anodizing Tanks. 

The American Nickeloid Company owns and operates a source which consists of a decorative 

chromium electroplating tank. This source is located at 129 Cherry Street. Walnutport, PA 

18088. The applicable emission limitation for the source is 0.01 mg/ dscm and the compliance 

date is January 29, 1996. 

The American Nickeloid Company is considered a major source for hazardous air pollutant 

emissions because we have the potential to. emit greater than 10 tpy or more of any hazardous air 

pollutant or 25 tpy or more of any combination of hazardous air pollutants. 

The American Nickeloid Company has applied for a Synthetic Minor air permit which will limit 

emissions from the facility to levels below "Major" thresholds. Actual HAP emissions are well 

below the limmits speciiied above.

Chromium Emissions 

Dear Mr. Patel, 

MANWFACTL.FlEF!S OF PF'lE.FINISHEO METAI.S 

July 24. 1995 

PERU. ILLINCIS 81354 

(615] 223-037:3 

. The National Emission Standards for Chromium Emissions from Hard and Decorative 

Chromium Elecn-oplating specifies emissions standards for existing decorative chromium sources of 

0.01 mg/dscm or 45 dynesf.:m for operators using a fume suppressant containing wetting agent as a 

control technique. Operators must demonstrate compliance no later than one year after January 25, 

1995. 

The American Nickeloid Company currently operates a chromium emission 'source under 

PADER Permit number 48-318-001. This emission source consists of a decorative chromium 

electroplating tank and asso:iated pollution control equipment. 

On January 26, 1995 a series of stack tests was performed to determine chromium emissions 

from the scrubber system serving the chrome plating line. The test program consisted of duplicate 

two hour sampling sessions, conducted while the plant was running under normal operating 

conditions. Chromium emissions during run #1 were measured at 0.0604 mg/dscm. Run #2 

produced ~n emission rate of 0.056 mg/dscm. 

Test results indicate that the control system does not meet the emissions standards specified in the 

final rule. American Nickeloid Company is not interested in using a fume suppressant containing a 

wetting agent due to the proven inherent explosive nature of a foam blanket. We are investigating 

alternative or additional add-on control techniques, and we do not expect to have a system installed, 

operational, and tested by January 25, 1996. Therefore, we hereby request a one year extension of 

compliance in accordance with section 63.343(6) of the final rule. 

If you have any questions, or need further information, please call me at (610) 767-3841.

CHEMICAL MIST ELIMINATOR 

..' SERIES 

• eliminates discharge of expensive 

chrome to your 

waste treatment 

• complies with state hexavalent 

chromium requirements today and 

the federal hexavalent chromium 

standards of tomorrow 

• ultra high efficiencies - up to 99.96% 

• solves the -Water problem· so often 

encountered by chrome platers in 

using conventional control devices 

The IfJ<crr Spectra Series Chemical Mist ElIminators consist of units ranging in size and capacity 

including the Spectra-I through the Spectra-v and the ultra efflcfent Spectra-U which is most useful 

on Chromic Acid Fumes. These units are designed for installation in horizontal runs of duct. 

Contaminant removal takes place when the fumes pass through the two cfdferent types of media.. 

The first stage is used to entrap the heavier droplets. The second type of media Is carefully 

designed to entrap the remaining micron sil:e particles with ultra high efficiencies. Each stage is 

also equipped With a wash down chamber for periodfc cleaning. The drain, in some cases, can be 

run back to the source to reduce cost of adding chemicals. -KCH" also offers control panels for 

static pressu~ monitOrir9 and/or completely automated wash down systems.
