Title: PISCES field chemical emissions monitoring project: Site 13 emissions report. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:162889

This report is one of a series sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute in the area of trace substance emissions from fossil-fuel power plants. This report presents the results of a sampling and analytical study to characterize trace substances emissions at Site 13. Site 13 consists of a boiler burning No. 6 fuel oil. No air pollution control equipment was available to control emissions from the boiler; however, a pilot-scale pulse-jet fabric filter treating a small fraction of the flue gas from this unit was also tested. The objective of this report is to transmit the detailed data to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist the Agency in evaluating utility trace chemical emissions as well as the associated health risk impacts--as mandated in Title III of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. This report does not attempt to compare the results with other sites. An assessment of data from all plants that have been tested is presented in the Electric Utility Trace Substances Synthesis Report (EPRI TR-104614).
