I SECTION 3.0 TEST DESCRIPTION The primary objective of the program was the measurement of emissions during a trial burn of TDF blended with the coal and coke fuel blend normally used in this boiler. The program was funded in part by the IWMB to determine the feasibility of using TDF as a supplementary fuel in fluidized bed units. 3.1 TEST CONDITIONS The tests were conducted at nominal full load operating conditions with up to 20% of TDF with the coal/coke fuel. Test conditions were established and unit operating data were collected by Air Products personnel. A summary of unit load conditions during testing is included in Table 3-1. Additional process data printouts can be found in Appendix C.2. 3.2 SAMPLING LOCATIONS Samples were collected at the stack serving the fluidized-bed boiler. Illustrations of the sampling port locations are shown in Appendix C.1. The sampling location meets EPA Method 1 criteria. 3.3 TEST PROCEDURES The test procedures used for the criteria pollutant testing program are presented in Table 3-3. Descriptions of standard procedures are included in Appendix A. Information and procedural modifications specific to this test program are presented in the following sections. 3.3.1 Gaseous Emissions Gaseous species (NO=, CO, CO2i and 02) were measured using Carrot's Continuous Emissions Monitor (CEM) described in Appendix A. This system meets EPA and CARB Methods for gaseous species. The heated Teflon line and ice bath described in Appendix A was used to prevent loss of NO2 in the sampling system. Three gaseous emission test runs were performed to determine compliance with the permit conditions, with a combined run time of two hours. The CEM system was also operated during the wet-chemical tests to provide Oz and CO2 data for molecular weight and dilution calculations. These results are detailed in Section 4.0. 302108/R143B179.N L'J MAOT
