27、iameters smaller than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5). There are few existing data regardingemissions and characteristics of fine aerosols from petroleum industry combustion sources, andthe information that is available is old. Traditional stationary source air emission samplingmethods tend to underestimate

28、 or overestimate the contribution of the source to ambient aerosolsbecause they do not properly account for primary aerosol formation, which occurs after the gasesleave the stack. This issue was extensively reviewed by the American Petroleum Institue (API)in a recent report (England et al., 1997), w

29、hich concluded that dilution sampling techniques aremore appropriate for obtaining a representative sample from combustion systems. Thesetechniques have been widely used in research studies (Hildemann et al., 1994; McDonald et al.,1998) and use clean ambient air to dilute the stack gas sample and pr

30、ovide 80-90 secondsresidence time for aerosol formation prior to sample collection for determination of mass andchemical speciation.As a result of the API review, a test protocol was developed based on the dilution samplingsystem described in this report. The dilution sampling protocol was used to c

31、ollect particulateemissions data from petroleum industry combustion sources, along with emissions data obtainedfrom conventional sampling methods. This test program is designed to provide reliable sourceemissions data for use in assessing the contribution of petroleum industry combustion sources toa

32、mbient PM2.5 concentrations. The goals of this test program were to: Develop emission factors and speciation profiles for emissions of fineparticulate matter, especially organic aerosols; and Identify and characterize PM2.5 precursor compound emissions.This test report describes the results of tests

33、 performed on a gas-fired steam generator at Site Con October 21, 22 and 25, 1999.1-2PROJECT OBJECTIVESThe specific objectives of this test were to:Primary Objectives Compare PM2.5 mass measured using an in-stack filter and an iced impingertrain (EPA Method 201A/202), and mass measured using a dilut

34、ion tunnel; Develop emission factors and speciation profiles for organic aerosols andPM2.5 mass; Characterize sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, inorganic elements, elementalcarbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) in particulate matter collected on filtermedia in the dilution sampler; Characterize key secondar

35、y particle precursors in stack gas samples: volatileorganic compounds (VOC) with carbon number of 7 and above; sulfur dioxide(SO2); and oxides of nitrogen (NOX); and Document the relevant process design characteristics and operating conditionsduring the test.Secondary Objective Characterize ions (su

36、lfate, nitrate and ammonium), OC, and EC in particulatecollected on filter media in stack gas sampling trains.TEST OVERVIEWThe scope of testing is summarized in Table 1-1. The emissions testing included simultaneouscollection and analysis of both in-stack and diluted stack gas samples. All emission

37、sampleswere collected from the stack of the unit. The samples were analyzed for the compounds listedin Table 1-2. Process data and fuel gas samples were collected during the tests to documentoperating conditions.Source Level (In-stack) SamplesIn-stack sampling and analysis for filterable (total, PM1

38、0 and PM2.5) and condensibleparticulate matter (CPM), NOx, oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO) andSO2 was performed using traditional EPA methods. In-stack cyclones and filters were used forfilterable particulate matter. Sample analysis was expanded to include OC, EC and organics

The dilution sampler extracted a

41、 sample stream from the stack into a mixing chamber,where it was diluted approximately 21:1 with purified ambient air. Because PM2.5 behavesaerodynamically like a gas at typical stack conditions, the samples were extractednonisokinetically. A slipstream of the mixed and diluted sample was extracted

42、into a residencetime chamber where it resided for approximately 80 seconds to allow time for low-concentrationaerosols, especially organics, to condense and grow. The diluted and aged sample then passedthrough cyclone separators sized to remove particles larger than 2.5 microns, after whichsamples w
