3.0 SAMPLING METHODS 

This section describes the sampling strategy, sampling and analytical methods, and quality assurance/quality 

control procedures implemented during this project. 

3.1 Sampling Strategy 

The sampling and analytical procedures used during this test program were those established by the US 

EPA. The sampling runs were conducted in triplicate to validate the sampling. Tests were conducted 

3.2 Sampling and Analytical Procedures 

The US EPA methods used in this sampling program were Method 1 for the location of sampling ports and 

points, and determination of cyclonic flow, Method 2 for volumetric flow rate determination, Method 3 for 

the determination of dry molecular weight of the stack gas, Method 4 for the determination of moisture in 

the stack gas. Methods 5 and 26A were used for the determination of particulate, hydrogen chloride and 

hydrogen fluoride emissions. A sampling and analysis synopsis for these methods is discussed briefly in the 

following subsections. These test methods are available in the Code of Federal Regulations Volume 40, 

Part 60 or by request from Trigon. 

3.3 Sampling Ports, Traverse Points and Cyclonic Flow Determination 

The sampling locations were prepared according to the criteria in Method 1. The duct diameters upstream 

and downstream from the sampling ports were determined prior to sampling. The-number of traverse points 

was chosen with respect to sampling port location. For particulate traverses Method specifies a minimum 

of 8 traverse points for sampling ports located >8/>2 downstream/upstream stack diameters from flow 

disturbances and 24 traverse points when located >2/>0.5. The amount of cyclonic flow was determined 

according to the criteria detailed in Method 1. 

3.4 Stack Gas Velocity and Volumetric Flow Rate Determination 

Method 2 is used for determining the average gas velocity in a stack from measurements of gas density and 

the average velocity head with a Type S (Stausscheibe or reverse type) pitot tube. This method is applicable 

for quantifying gas flows which meet the criteria of Method 1. In principle, measurements of velocity head 

and temperature are performed at the traverse points specified by Method 1. A properly scaled differential

May 5, 2006 

Trigon Project No. 046-05-144 

pressure gauge was selected for the range of Ap values encountered during the traverse. A 0 10 inches of 

water inclined manometer was used as the differential pressure gauge. 

During this project, the sampling locations met the criteria detailed in Method 1. Gas stream density was 

determined by Method 3. Moisture determination was performed by Method 4. The principal components 

of the gas velocity measurement system were sequentially: 

• A calibrated stainless steel Type S pitot tube and Type K thermocouple; 

• A 0 to 10 inch inclined manometer; and 

• An N/ST traceable pyrometer. 

The apparatus was set-up according to manufacturer and reference method recommendations. Pre-test and 

post-test leak checks were conducted using procedures outlined in Method 2, Section 3.1. Velocity head and 

temperature measurements were performed at the traverse points specified by Method 1. The atmospheric 

and static pressure of the stack was also determined for the velocity head readings. The volumetric flow 

rate calculations used were those specified in Method 2, Section 5. A more comprehensive explanation of 

the reference method is detailed in the Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement 

Systems: Volume 1II, EPA/600/R-94/038c, (QA Handbook) FieMProcedure 2. 

3.5 Dry Molecular Weight Determination 

Method 3 is applicable for determining carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations and dry molecular weight 

of a sample from a gas stream of a fossil-fuel combustion process. This method may also be applicable to 

other processes where it has been determined that compounds other than carbon dioxide, oxygen, carbon 

monoxide, and nitrogen are not present in concentrations sufficient to affect the results. 

In principle, a gas sample was withdrawn from the emission source by multi-point, integrated sampling. The 

collected sample was then analyzed for percent carbon dioxide, percent oxygen, and percent carbon 

monoxide. The dry molecular weight determination was performed by an Orsat analyzer. 

During this project, the gaseous components were collected using a Method 3 sampling system following 

the analytical procedures outlined in the reference method. The principal components of the sampling 

system were sequentially:

Trigon Project No. 046-05-144 

• A stainless steel probe; 

* A one-way squeeze bulb, to transport the sample to the Tedlar bag; 

• A saturaior tube to remove particulate matter and excess moisture; and 

• A leak-free Tedlar bag equipped with a double-end shut-off quick connect. 

The analysis was performed with an Orsat type combustion gas analyzer within 8 hours of sample 

collection. The dry molecular weight was calculated using Equation 3-1, Section 7 of Method 3. The 

analyzer was maintained and operated according, to the instn]atinn• r•c•amm•nrl•,cl by •-1-, .e 

in accordance with Method 3 criteria. The analyzer was leak-checked according to Section 6 of Method 3. 

The oxygen reagent was validated by analyzing a sample of ambient air which must meet the specifications 

of 20.9% + 0.3%. 

3.6 Moisture Determination 

Method 4 involves the determination of stack gas moisture. The moisture content is used to correct the 

emission concentration or mass emission rate to a dry. basis. EPA Method 4 and Field Procedure 4 of the 

QA Handbook was used to measure stack gas moisture content. Field Procedure 4 provides detailed 

information on the application of Method 4. 

Preliminary flue gas moisture content (for purposes of setting the isokinetic flow rate) was determined using 

wet bulb/dry bulb thermometers and partial pressure, vapor and saturated vapor pressure equations. This 

technique is described in Method 4 and is summarized below: 

• Moisten the wet bulb thermometer wick with deionized water; 

• Insert both thermometers into the flue gas stream and monitor the wet bulb temperature; 

• When the wet bulb temperature has stabilized, record both the wet bulb and dry bulb 

thermometer temperatures; and 

• Calculate the flue gas moisture content (PMV) using the appropriate equations. 

The moisture content for emission rate calculations was determined in conjunction with the Method 5/26A 

isokinetic sampling train. The reference method involves the withdrawal of gaseous and particulate 

pollutants from the emission source at an isokinetic rate using a Method 5 sampling system. The sampling 

and analytical procedure for reference Method 4 will be discussed in detail in the following section with the 

isokinetic sampling procedure.

3.7 Particulate Matter, Hydrogen Chloride, and Hydrogen fluoride Sampling 

Testing for particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen fluoride was performed according to 

Method 26A procedures. Gaseous and particulate pollutants were withdrawn isokinetically from the 

emission source and collected in a multi-component sampling train. In principle, particulate matter that was 

condensed at or above the filtration temperature of approximately 248 degrees Fahrenheit was collected on a 

tared quartz fiber filter. The gaseous components were then bubbled through a measured volume of 0.1N 

sulfuric acid and O.1N sodium hydroxide to determine the moisture, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen 

•,,•u• •uul•:•. xne principai components of the sampling system were 

sequentially: 

• A borosilicate glass sample nozzle and probe liner; 

• A heated (248°F ±25°F) probe and filter assembly with tared quartz fiber filter; 

• An impinger train consisting of five sequential impingers. /mpingers one and two containing 

100 ml each of an absorbing solution consisting of dilute sulfuric acid (0.1N H2SO4). 

Irnpingers three and four contained 100 ml of dilute sodium hydroxide (0.1N NaOH) followed 

by a fmal impinger containing 200 grams of silica gel; and 

• A metering system capable of maintaining an isokinetic sampling rate and accurately 

determining the sample volume according to specifications in APTD-0581. 

Sample clean up began immediately after each test run. The filter, which collected the sample, was 

carefully removed from the Teflon filter support and sealed in a Petri dish. The nozzle, probe liner, and 

front filter-half of the filter assembly were rinsed with acetone into a glass storage container, which was 

sealed, and the liquid level marked. The sample containers were transported to Trigon's Air Quality 

Laboratory in Charlotte, North Carolina for particulate matter analysis. 

Hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride were collected in the 0.1N sulfuric acid solution in impingers one 

and two. The liquid in the fn-st two impingers was measured to the nearest milliliter and recorded in order 

to determine the moisture content. The collected sample was placed in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) 

storage container along with the deionized water rinse of impingers one, two and connecting glassware. The 

container was sealed and the liquid level was marked. 

The 0.1N sodium hydroxide solution in impingers three and four were used as a scrubber to protect the 

sampling console. The liquid in these impingers as well as fifth impinger was •neasured to further

Stationary Source Sampling, Triangle Brick Company Mc O, 5, 2006 Brick Kiln K-1 Exhaust, lYadesboro, North Carolina Trigon Project No. 046-05-144 

determine the moisture content and later discarded. The moisture collected by the silica gel in the fifth 

impinger was determined to the nearest 0.1 gram. Collected condensate measurements were recorded on the 

"moisture determination and sample recovery data analysis" form. 

The samples were then shipped to Element One Laboratories of Wilmington, North Carolina with chain of 

custody documentation where they were analyzed by ion chromatography. Results of the hydrogen chloride 

and hydrogen fluoride analysis along with Element One's quality assurance data package can be found in 

Appendix C. 

The particulate matter analyses began by transferring the acetone samples to tared beakers. These samples 

were taken to dryness, and then placed in a desiccator along with the filters for an initial drying period of 24 

hours. The particulate mass was determined gravimetrically. The tare weights of the filters and beakers 

were subtracted from the fmal weights to determine the gross particulate weight. 

An aliquot of the reagent grade acetone was analyzed to determine the blank correction factor. The acetone 

rinse (corrected for the blank) was added to the filter catch to obtain the total particulate weight. The 

particulate samples and method blanks were analyzed by Trigon Engineering Consultants, Inc. personnel. 

The laboratory analyses and chain of custody documentation can be found in Appendix C. 

3.9 Sampling Ports and Points 

The dimensions of the stack and the location of the sampling ports and points are detailed in Figure 2. 

Method 1 sampling criteria was maintained. The stack cross section was divided into 24 equal areas. The 

ports were labeled A and B. During the test runs each point was sampled for 2.5 minutes, which yielded a 

total test time of 60 minutes.

3.10 Quality Assurance and Quality Control 

Trigon has established quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) guidelines for providing quality 

sampling and analytical data from source tests. These QA/QC procedures were implemented to ensure the 

acceptability and reliability of the data generated. 

In summary, an appropriate degree of data quality was maintained throughout this project. Leak checks and 

isokinetic QA criteria were met. The sampling trains were leak checked prior to and immediately after 

•,,,,,• ,•m•u• •na•p•Ja•g trams were less than the maxtmum criterion of 0.02 cubic 

feet per minute. The sampling rates were also within the 100% +10% criterion. Quality control procedures 

for the particulate matter determinations have included the analysis of an acetone rinse blank, which must be 

less than 0.001% for the acetone residue. Spike and recoveries were performed for the sampling 

methodologies used. An analyte spike was added to a portion of a prepared sample and recovered to within 

70 and 130 percent of the known concentration. The results of the QA criteria for this project are 

summarized in the following tables and can be. Detailed results of the method blanks are reported in

Client ID: Colby/Triangle Brick Analyst: MAL, JHH

Summary of Analysis 

The samples were prepared and analyzed according to Method 26A protocol. 

The samples were analyzed for chloride and fluoride on a Metrohm 761/788 ion 

chromatograph system. 

Detection Limits 

The Metrohm reporting limit was 0.1pg/mL for chloride and fluoride. 

Analysis QA/QC 

Duplicate analyses relative percent difference (RPD) and spike recovery data are 

summarized in the Quality Control section. The hydrogen fluoride analysis of the 

Kiln R3 sample produced a spike recovery result of 87%, which is outside of the 

method guidelines of 90-110%. Subsequent analysis produced equivalent 

results, indicating a matrix inference. Therefore, the sample results maybe 

biased low for HF proportional to the spike recovery. All other QA/QC data was 

within the criteria of the method. 

Additional Comments 

The reported results have not been corrected for any blank values or spike 

recovery values. Due to the nature of the sample matrix, it was necessary to 

analyze all samples at a minimum 2-fold dilution to reduce interferences and to 

preserve the anion column.
