I <br /> I <br /> The fuel flow rate must be corrected to account for the change in <br /> volume from combustion. <br /> Since the gas volume depends on the number of molecules present <br /> the reaction of propane with oxygen produces an increase in <br /> volume The reaction, 1C3H8 + 502 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O, increases the <br /> number of molecules from 6 to 7 per molecule of propane This <br /> effectively means that after combustion the volume of flow <br /> resulting from the propane is double the propane flow rate The <br /> reaction of methane (Natural Gas) and oxygen does not produce a <br /> net change in volume, CH4 + 2 02 -> CO2 + 2 H2O, therefore a <br /> correction for combustion does not need to be made when methane <br /> is burned <br /> RESULTS <br /> See Table 1 for results influent/effluent monitoring of the <br /> system and Table 2 for the results of REMOX operation <br /> CONCLUSIONS <br /> The VOC emissions during current REMOX operations for the period <br /> from 05/31/95 to October 19, 1995 have not exceeded the 52 lb/day <br /> limit No DCE, TCE or PCE has been detected in the samples <br /> As of October 19, 1995 the unit was burning 2 7 cfm or 3888 cfd <br /> which is below the permit limit of 17, 280 cfd <br /> As of October 16, 1995 , A total of 74626 pounds of gasoline have <br /> been destroyed during operation of the vapor recovery system <br /> The system was destroying, as of October 16, 1995 , 1 57 pounds <br /> per day of hydrocarbon. <br /> Geo e L Converse <br /> G ologist <br /> CC. <br /> Mark Schonhoff <br /> San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District <br /> 4230 niernan Ave X130 <br /> Modesto, CA 95356 <br /> (209) 545-7000 <br /> Mary F Meays <br /> Public Health Services <br /> P O Box 2009 <br /> Stockton, California 95201 <br /> 4 Regal 603 , 10/24/95 <br />
