A.For the purpose
of determining compliance with Section 3 of this Chapter, the following EPA
Reference Methods from Appendix A of 40 CFR Part
60 and Chapter 117 shall be
used:
(1) Method 16 or, at the discretion of
the owner or operator, Method 16A or, Method 16B as approved by the Department,
for the concentration of TRS;
(2)
Method 3 for gas analysis; and
(3)
When determining compliance with Section 3(J) of this Chapter, the owner or
operator of a system subject to this Chapter must use the results of Method 2,
Method 16, Method 16A, Method 16B and the black liquor solids feed rate in the
following equation to determine the TRS emission rate on an equivalent
H
2S basis.
E=(CTRS) (F)
(Qsd)/BLS
Where: E=mass of TRS emitted per unit of black liquor solids
(g/kg) or (lb./ton).
CTRS= average combined concentrations
of TRS (ppm), as determined by Method 16, 16A or 16B during the test
period.
F=0.001417 g
H2S/m3 ppm for metric
units.
=0.08844 x 10-6 lb.
H2S/ft3ppm for English
units.
Qsd= dry volumetric stack gas flow
rate (dscm/hr or dscf/hr), corrected to standard conditions.
BLS= black liquor solids feed rate (kg/hr or ton/hr).
B. All concentrations
of TRS required to be measured by this section from lime kilns, incinerators,
or other combustion devices shall be corrected to ten (10)% oxygen by volume
and those concentrations from recovery furnaces shall be corrected to eight
(8)% oxygen by volume. These corrections shall be made in the manner specified
in Section 5(A)(3) of this Chapter.
C. The Department and EPA may approve
equivalent test methods.
