3. Facility description

The District Energy St Paul Inc‐Hans O Nyman (Facility) is located at 76 Kellogg Blvd W in St. Paul, MN, Ramsey County, Minnesota. This facility has seven boilers that produce hot water (boilers 5 and 6) or steam (boilers 1‐4 and 7) for heating and generating electricity. Boilers 1, 4, 5, and 6 are permitted to combust natural gas and fuel oil No. 2. Boilers 2 and 3 are permitted to combust coal, biomass, and natural gas. And boiler 7 is permitted to combust biomass and natural gas. The facility also has several emission sources such as wood, coal, and fly ash receiving, storage, and conveying systems that qualify as insignificant sources. This facility provides electricity and heating services to downtown St. Paul and adjacent areas. This permit action is the reissuance of the Part 70 operating permit and a major amendment to incorporate the wood handling facility’s previously‐unpermitted activities into the permit. The wood handling facility, Environmental Wood Supply, located on Pig’s Eye Lake Road, processes wood for use as biomass fuel in Boiler 7. This permit action also incorporates the requirements of 40 CFR pt. 63, subp. DDDDD, the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters. Each of the boilers at this facility are subject to the requirements of this rule.

APPENDIX B. Fuel Mixture Procedure for EU 007 Fuel Mixture Procedure: At the Wood Handling Facility: The following procedure shall be posted at Environmental Wood Supply and followed at all times: When loading trucks with a mixture of wood and agricultural waste, at least three front end loader scoops of wood will be added with two or less scoops of agricultural waste. Each truckload of a mixture of wood and agricultural waste will contain at a minimum 54% wood by weight based on the requirement above and a density of 20 pounds per cubic foot wood and 26 pounds per cubic foot agricultural waste: (3 vol. Wood)(20 lbs/cf)/((3 vol. Wood (20 lbs/cf) + 2 vol. Ag. Waste)(26 lbs/cf)) = 0.54 Onsite: The number of trucks carrying each type of fuel: wood, agricultural waste, and a mixture will be tracked and recorded, including the percentage of each fuel in each truck load. Each calendar day, the total weight of wood and agricultural waste will be calculated, and the percentage of wood heat input into the boiler will be calculated, and the percentage of wood into the boiler will be calculated from the following: Total wood into boiler (lbs)(heating value of wood (Btu/lb)/ ((Total wood into boiler (lbs)(heating value of wood (Btu/lb) + total agricultural waste into boiler (lbs)(heating value of agricultural waste))


APPENDIX C. Sulfur Dioxide Compliance Calculation for Boilers 2, 3, and 4

Boilers 2, 3, and 4 Sulfur Dioxide Compliance Calculation

SO2 emissions will be calculated from the following equations for both lbs/hr SO2 and lbs/MMBtu SO2:

Equation 1:

(MCEMS x TOTEXH x MCONVF) – (7CEMS x 7EXH x 7CONVF) = SO2‐lbs/hr‐2,3,4

Equation 2:

(SO2‐lbs/hr‐2,3,4)/(H2 + H3 + H4) = SO2‐lbs/MMBtu‐2,3,4

NOTE: When any boiler is burning only natural gas, propane, or very low sulfur distillate oil its heat input will no longer be included in the Equation 2 calculation. (Its exhaust flowrate will still be included in the total exhaust flowrate calculation).

WHERE:

MCEMS = Main stack SO2 CEMS reading, ppmv

TOTEXH = Exhaust through main stack, total of Boiler 7 exhaust flowmeter and Boilers 2, 3, and 4 exhaust flowrates (from F factor calculations), scfh

TOTEXH = 7EXH + 2EXH + 3EXH + 4EXH

WHERE:

2EXH = (H2)(F2){20.9/(20.9‐O2,2)} = Exhaust Flowrate Boiler 2



Hi = Boiler i heat input, see calculation method below for H2, H3, and H4

Fi = Boiler i F‐factor from EPA reference values, 9,860 dscf/million Btu for coal and 8,710 dscf/million Btu for natural gas

O2,i = Boiler i exhaust oxygen concentration in percent by volume, measured by an oxygen analyzer in the exhaust for each boiler

MCONVF = Appropriate factors to convert concentration and exhaust to pounds per hour SO2 emissions = (1 lb∙mole exh/385.6 scf exh)(1 lb∙mole SO2/1 x 10

6 ppmv SO2)(64 lbs SO2/lb∙mole SO2)

7CEMS = Boiler 7 SO2 CEMS reading (ppmv)

7EXH = Boiler 7 exhaust flowrate from Boiler 7 exhaust flowmeter (scfh)

7CONVF = Appropriate factors to convert concentration and exhaust to pounds per hour SO2 emissions = (1 lb∙mole exh/385.6 scf exh)(1 lb∙mole SO2/1 x 10

6 ppmv SO2)(64 lbs SO2/lb∙mole SO2)

SO2‐lbs/hr‐2,3,4 = SO2 emissions in pounds per hour from Boilers 2, 3, and 4

H2 = Heat Input to Boiler 2, million Btu per hour = (Heat Output, Boiler 2 Steam lbs/hr)(Steam Heating Value Btu/lb)(1 million Btu/1 x 106 Btu) / (Boiler 2 Efficiency, as a function of boiler load, see attached graph of Boiler Efficiency vs Load)




SO2‐lbs/MMBtu‐2,3,4 = SO2 emission in pounds per million Btu from Boilers 2, 3, and 4.
