  1. Particulate Matter Monitoring Required by the Utility MATS Presented to ARIPPAby All4 Inc. Eric Swisher| eswisher@all4inc.com | 610-933-5246 ext. 17 August 22, 2012

  2. Presentation Overview • Regulatory Background • Regulated Pollutants • Compliance Options for Filterable Particulate Matter (FPM)

  3. Regulatory Background • 40 CFR Part 63, SubpartUUUUU – 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

  4. Regulated Pollutants

  5. Compliance Options • 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)

  6. Quarterly Testing • 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

  7. CPMS & Annual Testing • 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

  8. PM CEMS • 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
