Parm4m Almond Processing Company N-1002706, N-1337-1-6,2-7,6-1,7-0,8-0 B. Emission Factors IC Enalne: Pollutant EF h hr Source NOx 0.1.1 Applicant PMJQ 0.05 Manufacturer sox 0.03 Applicant, from AP-42 Table'3.1-2b CO 0.57 Manufacturer VOC 1 0.11 Manufacturer The applicant has proposed a NOx emission limitation of 9 ppmvd at 15% 02 and a VOC emission limitation of 25 ppmvd at 15% 02. These concentrations can be converted to emission factors in g/bhp-hr as follows: EFNOx = (91108) x(7,648 dsdmdMMStu)x(131 MMBtu/MMscfla)x(0.045056 MMscf/hr) x(46 IbAb-mol)x (1 ib-moV379.5 sco x(453.6 gAb) x((20.9) +(20.9— 15))} (700 bhp) EFNm = 0.11 g/bhp-hr EFvoc = (25/108)x (7,648 dscfwVMMBtu)x (131 MMBWNMsdi.,) x (0.045056 MMscf/hr) x(16 Ib/lb-moi)x(i ib-mol/379.5 scf)x(453.6 glib) x ((20.9) + (20.9— 15)) + (700 bhp) EFvoc= 0.11 glbhp-hr Flare: Although the applicant's proposal includes the possibility of supplementing the syngas with propane if necessary to ensure complete combustion in the flare, the emission factors for the flare are taken from FYI-83 (and through that FYI, from EPA Document AP-42),which presented standardized Industrial flare emission factors that are independent of the specific fuel gas combusted. Therefore, supplementing the syngas with propane in the flare will have no impact on the emission factors. The emission factors for the flare are Ilsted In the following table: Pollutant EF Ib1MMBtu Source ; NOx 0.068 FYI-83 PM12 0.008 FYI-83 sox 0.0065 AP-42 Table 3.1-2b CO 0.37 FYI-83 --- VOC 1 0.063 FYI-83 3(0.0065 Ib/MMBtu)x(131 MMBtu/MMscf)x(0.045056 MMscflhr)x(453.6 glib)+(700 bhp)=0.03 Ohp-hr `Although FYI-83 applies to ollfield Industrial flares, it is worth noting that VOC emissions from flares result from incomplete combustion of VOC. Since the gas analysis Indicates the syngas will contain no VOC,the lower emission factor from FYI-83 is conservatively appropriate. 8
