A series of tests was Performed on the exhaust associated with the tunnel kiln aiid the dryer at the Acme Brick Quacb3ta-1?"in Malvem, AR. on October 22 & 23, 1997. '1lie purpose of this tt.st series was to determiue the exhaust emission rates ofparticulate, carbon monoxide, nit;•ogen oxides, sulfitr dioNade, VOC as C3H8, hydrogen fluoride, and hydrogen chIoride in I erms of Ibslhr. Testing followed proc -Idures detailed in Title 40: Code ofFederal Regulations (40:C1~R). Sannpling was perfomied by Richard Taylor and Tom Arnistrong of Armstrong Environxnental, Inc. using an Apex Method 5 Sasapling Train, a TherxnoEnvironmental

- Model 10 continuous Nox a.nalyzer, a Fuji 3300 NDIR continuous CO anaIyzer, a Western

_ Research 721 AT concinuous S02 analyzer, and a ThermoEnvironmental Model 51

continuous FID analyzer. Three one hour test repetitions were performed on each source by the follo«ing schedule:

### SUMMARY

A series of hydrogeri chloride i HC1) air emissions test were performed on three (3) different kiln and dryer systems at Acme Brick at t•Ee Perla and Ouachita facilities. These facilities are located in Perla, Arkansas and hlalvern, Arkan:las respectively. The tests were perfonned from Septenlber 3, 1996 throuch September 6, 1996. Testing on the sources were performed according to procedures detailed in EPA's 40: CFR Part 60 Appendix A. The purpose of the tests were tci establish emission rates of HCl to submit for permit applications. Test results from the emissions tests are shown in the tables on the following pages.

## METHODOLOGY

All testing was performed as -:ietaiied in EPA 40 CFR: Part 60 Appendix A. Zhe following methods were used: Method 1 Sampl.: and Velocity Traverses for Stationary Sources Method 2 DeterTiunation of Stack Gas Velocity and Voiumetric Flow Rate (Type S Pztot) Method 3 Gas Aiialysis for Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Excess Air and Dry Molecular Weight Method 4 Detenriination of Moisture Content In Stack Gases Method 26A Deteniiination of Hydrogen Halide and Halogen Emissions from Stationary Sources

, Isokinctic Method

~ Deteimination of hydrogen chioride was completed using a CAE Method 5 sampling train. The train containe

,. 100 mis of .1 N Sulfuric A , ::id (H 2 S0,) in the first two impingers, the third was empty and the fourth ha

approximately 200 grams o:` silica gel. A 6' stainless steel lined probe was used. Sampling runs «re, perfomned at twelve (12) poi:nts per port for a total of 24 points. Each point was sampled for 2.5 minutf making run times of sixty (60) minutes. Sampling was done isokinetically by using variously sized nozzlf depending on the source beiria tested. Oxygen (0 2 ) and carbon dio>:ide (CO Z ) were determined using a Fyrite analyzer.

### I. INTRODUCTION

A series of tests were I erformed on the Periodic Kiln exhaust stack and the Upper and Lower Dryer exhaust slacks at the Acme Brick Company facility in ~ 

### S<< _T; _t,R on October 6 - 9, 1992. 

### The purpose of this te!:t series was to determine exhaust emission rates of particulate, hydrogen fluoride, nitroi;en oxides, VOC as C3H8, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxidc in terms of lbs/hr. Testing followed procedures detailed in Title 40: Code of Federal Regulations (40: CFR). Sampling was perform , : d by Jeff Lovett, Richard Taylor, Mark Peterson and Cody Jefferson of Armstrong I;nvironmental, Inc. using four NAPP Modei 31 Sampling Trains, a ThermoEnvironmental Model 10 continuous Nox analyzer, a Beckman 400A continuous FID analyzer, and a Horiba Continuous CO analyzer. Three one hour test repetitions were performed on the upper and lower dryer exhausts over a six hour period o i October 6 and October 9, and 18 one hour test repetitions were performed on the periodic kiln exhaust over a 36 hour period October 8 and 9, 1992.

### U. SUMMARY

_ A series of tests were pt:rformed on the Periodic Kiln 96 exhaust stack and on the upper

and lower dryer exhaust stacks at the Acme Brick Company facility in Ft. Sniith, AR on October 6 - 9, 1992 

### Sampling was performed following procedures detailed in Title 40: Code of Federal Regulations. Results of this test serie:; are gammariz 

### ed in Tables 1- 6 for the periodic kiln, Tables 6& 7 for the lower and uppo:r dryer exhausts on October 6, and Tables 8& 9 for the lower and upper dryer exhausi s on October 9. Based on the results of , :his test series, the following comments can be made: 1. Run #1 on the particidate train performed on the kiln exhaust did not meet isokinetic requirements. 2. Run 914 on the Iluoride train performed on the kiln exhaust did not meet post test leak check. Analysis was peiformed on the samples, and the resuhs indicate numbers witl in the expected range. It is suspected that the leak occurred late in the rnn, or when removing the train from the stack. 3. HF numbers are giv(.n in Runs 1- 9, ahhough the fluoride train was not in operation. These numbers were ob , :ained analysis of the pa.rticu]ate impinger samples. 4. The sa.mplc volume -:)n Run #10 for the fluoride train is below 30 cu. ft. The nozzle was changed a$er this n.in to increase the sample volume.

### 02 and CO2 were detei

- miued using Fyrite Analyzers.

- A TECO Model 10 conlinuous Nox analyzer was used to determine nitrogen oxides.

Analyzer was cah'brated with 99.8 ppm and 31.5 ppm NO in N2 EPA Protocol 1 gas standards. VOC was determined u!.ing a Beckman Mode1400A continuous FID analyzer spanned with 902.6 ppm, 203.4 :;>pm and 29.94 ppm C3H8 in N2 EPA Protocol 1 gas standards. Carbon monoxide was iietermined using a Horiba PIR 2000 continuous CO analyLer


### ~ spanned with 2018 pprr., 401 ppm and 99 ppm CO in N2 gas standards, certified +/- 2%.

All analyzers were spaniied from the end of the sample probe with tedlar gas bags. A


### ~ TeIlon sample line was tised. 

# I

p- i17Sampling for particulate was performe6 using a NAPP Model 3 Method 5 sanipling train.

A 60 inch stainless steel heated sample probe with a 0.3733 ID sampling nozzle were used on the Kiln Stack, a 0.4296 inch ID nozzle on the lower dryer, and a 0.3722 inch ID nozzle on the top dryer. 3% H2O2 was placed in the impingers to determine Sulfur Dioxide. Sarnpling for HF was cunducted using a NAPP Model 31 Method 5 sainpling train. The first and second imping

~ :rs contained 200 mis of Type II water, third empty, and 200 grams of silica gel in the fourth impinger. On October 6 a paper filter was placed between the third and fourth imp: ngers, later renioved due to pluggage problems. On October 9 a paper filter was placed iii front of the impingers. Sampling was performed using a 60 incli stainless steel probe witfi a 0.4896 inch sampling nozzle on the bottom dryer, a 0.312 inch sampling nozzle on the i:pper dryer, and a 0.4296 inch sampling nozzle on the kiln. The noz.zle was changed aftei - the first run on the kiln due to low sample volume. Analysis for HF was p4;rformed using a Dionex 4600 IC/IiPLC. Suifur dioxide was analyzed b% hariuin thori;i titrations of the particulate impinger solutions.
