The report gives results of a special test program to determine mass emissions of particulate, SO/sub 2/, and NOx from a large utility baghouse controlling emissions from a boiler firing low-sulfur Western coal. The tests verified that NOx emissions, measured by EPA Method 7, were not significantly affected by the baghouse. Emissions of SO/sub 2/ measured consistently below the New Source Performance Standard of 1.2 lb/million Btu at a level of about 0.8 lb/million Btu. Particulate tests indicated an average emission rate of 0.028 lb/million Btu. Overall test results indicate that Southwestern's Harrington Station, using low-sulfur and low-ash Western coal, can operate consistently within all applicable mass emission rates while using a fabric filter for air quality control.
