摘要

Measurement techniques for particle emissions with aerodynamic diameter of 10 and 2.5 micrometers and smaller (PM_(10) and PM_(2.5), respectively) have gained renewed interest since finalization of EPA guidance for considering condensable particulate matter under New Source Review permitting guidelines. To develop improved PM_(10)/PM_(2.5) emissions data for permitting purposes, tests using a new stationary source dilution sampling test method, Other Test Method 37 (OTM-37), were performed on more than fifty different gas-fired boilers and process heaters at a large U.S. refinery. This testing campaign provided useful lessons regarding OTM-37 test planning, site and equipment challenges and regulatory agency perspectives. It also provided method performance data in terms of method blanks and samples, method detection levels, best practices, and results calculations. The test results demonstrate the capability of OTM-37 to measure PM_(10)/PM_(2.5) concentrations at significantly lower levels than traditional hot filter/cooled impinger methods. The test results also show that PM_(10)/PM_(2.5) emissions for gas-fired sources are significantly lower than suggested by widely-published emission factors based on hot filter/cooled impinger techniques. A PM_(10)/PM_(2.5) emission factor based on the average OTM-37 results for gas-fired boilers and process heaters is approximately one-fifth of the current AP-42 emission factor (and much lower than this when certain sources of measurement error are excluded). The results also highlight the importance of best practices and the limitations of certain gravimetric procedures in achieving accurate PM_(10)/PM_(2.5) emissions measurements for gas-fired sources.
