Regulatory Background Regulated Pollutants Compliance Options for Filterable Particulate
Matter (FPM)
Presentation Overview
3 Your environmental compliance is clearly our business.
40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUUUU – National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units
• Published Final on February 16, 2012• Compliance date of February 16, 2015
Regulatory Background
4 Your environmental compliance is clearly our business.
Regulated Pollutant Surrogate
Nonmercury Metallic HAP Filterable Particulate Matter (FPM)
Acid GasesHCl orSO2
Mercury None
Regulated Pollutants
5 Your environmental compliance is clearly our business.
HCl• CEMS (HCl or SO2)
Mercury• CEMS (analyzer or sorbent trap)
FPM• Quarterly Testing (FPM & Non-Hg HAP Metals)• Continuous Parametric Monitoring System (CPMS) and
Annual Emission Testing• CEMS (FPM)
Compliance Options
6 Your environmental compliance is clearly our business.
Quarterly testing for PM/Non-Hg Hap Metals• F PM – U.S. EPA Reference Method 5 (RM5)
~$15K• Total Nonmecury HAP Metals – U.S. EPA Reference
Method 29 (RM29) ~$15K
Quarterly Testing
7 Your environmental compliance is clearly our business.
Record parametric data during annual compliance tests.
Establish a parameter range from the parametric data collected during the annual compliance tests.
Monitor compliance using CPMS. CMPS – PM CEMS that is not certified
CPMS & Annual Testing
8 Your environmental compliance is clearly our business.
PM CEMS must be certified in accordance with 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 11• Generation of a correlation curve between the FPM
concentration and the unit load• Requires at least 15 Paired samples• 3 loads, 5 runs per loading level• May require more than the minimum number of runs• Expensive (~35k-60k)• FPM Spiking• Ongoing QA/QC
PM CEMS
