�i■: f� Pwmira Almond Processing Company N-1x82706, N-1337-1-6,2.71 6-117-0, B-0 The engine and flare have potential PM10 emissions of 0.08 lb/hr and 0.05 lb/hr, respectively. Pursuant to District Rule 2201, Section 4.11.2, PMio emissions aro equal to 50%of total Particulate matter emissions, so the engine and flare have PM emissions of 0.16 Ib/hr and 0.1 lb/hr, respectively. As demonstrated in the application reviews for projects N-1040455, N-1061230, and N-1072060, the particulate matter emission rates from the almond processing operations are: Particulate Matter Emission Rare N-1337-1-$ N-1337:2-7 N-1337-6-1 gElb/hrl hr 32.4 32.4 0.4 0.78 15.4 11.6 Compliance with the rule is expected. No further discussion is required. Rule 4203 Particulate Matter Emissions ftom Incineration of Combustible Refuse This rule limits the emission ofparticulate matter from disposing of combustible refuse. The gasifier will process combustible refuse in the form of chipped wood, almond hulls and shells, and orchard prunings, so this rule applies. The gasification process does not constitute open burning as defined in District Rule 4103, Open Buming, so the gasifier does not qualify for the exemption presented in Section 3.0 of Rule 4203. Section 4.1 prohibits the emission of particulate matter,from a process consuming more than 100 lb/hr of combustible refuse, in excess of 0.1 grldscf at 12°x6 CO2. The gasifier uses an average of 880 lb/hr of feedstock, so Section 4.1 applies.Alternatively, Section 4.3 prohibits emission of more than 0.1 pounds of PM per 100 pounds of combustible refuse, and exempts units complying with Section 4.3 from complying with Sections 4.1 or 4.2. As shown above, the engine and flare have the potential to emit 0.16 and 0.1 lb/hr of PM, respectively. The gasifier uses 880 Ib/hr of combustible refuse (feedstock), so Section 4.3 would allow PM emissions of 0.88 Ib/hr. Since 0.16 Ib/hr and 0.1 lb/hr are less than 0.88 Ib/hr, compliance with this rule is expected. The following condition will be Included on the engine ATCs to ensure compliance: • Particulate emissions from this electrical generating system at the engine exhaust stack opening shall be no more than 0.1 gr/dscf(calculated to 12% Carbon Dioxide), or no greater than 0.1 pounds per 100 pounds of feedstock material charged. [District Rule f 4203] However, section 5.0 specifies that compliance will be demonstrated by certain test methods. The source testing requirements of District Rule 4702 will be expanded#o include testing PM t: concentration by EPA Method 5 as part of the startup source testing program. : F . r 25
