RE: Coke Oven ICR method questions

"once per mercury run and then composite them into one sample" would translate to one sample for three runs.

Hey Donna  -  I have one more clarification for the ICR.  

In Section 1.8 of Enclosure 2, we're required to take baghouse dust samples, once per mercury run and then composite them into one sample.  We are not sure if this means we only submit one sample to the lab for analysis for all three Method 29 test runs, or if we need to submit a sample for each run (3 samples in total)?

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks 
Doug

Hello all  -  Sorry for the delay in this response, but I was out on vacation last week and did not hear back from measurement people in time before I left for the day/week. 

We are fine with your approach. Please also include a detailed description of the procedure for the combined analysis in your analytical report.

Subject: Coke Oven ICR method questions

Donna  -  EQ is performing the testing at AK Steel Middletown for the Coke Oven ICR and I had a sampling method question.  In Table 1-B of Enclosure 2, it says we can perform CARB 428 & 429 together for the semi-volatile HAPs.  I wanted to see if it was approved to combine these into one train if we spiked the traps for both semi-volatiles and dioxin/furans.  We would use acetone, methylene chloride, and toluene as our solvent rinses (acetone and methylene chloride in one bottle and toluene in a second) and water as our impinger solution.

Please let us know if this approach is acceptable or if there was anything we should modify.

Thanks
Doug
