40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in
s. NR 440.17, or other methods and procedures as specified in this subsection, except as provided in
s. NR 440.08 (2).
NR 440.21(5)(b)
(b) The owner or operator shall determine compliance with the particulate matter standard in
sub. (3) as follows:
NR 440.21(5)(b)1.
1. The concentration (C
12) of particulate matter, corrected to 12% CO
2, shall be computed for each run using the following equation:
C12 = Cs (12/%CO2)
where:
C12 is the concentration of particulate matter corrected to 12% CO2 g/dscm (gr/dscf)
Cs is the concentration of particulate matter, g/dscm (gr/dscf)
%CO2 is the CO2 concentration, percent dry basis
NR 440.21(5)(b)2.

2 traverse points may be reduced to 12 if Method 1 is used to locate the 12 CO
2 traverse points. If individual CO
2 samples are taken at each traverse point, the CO
2 concentration (%CO
2) used in the correction equation shall be the arithmetic mean of the sample CO
2 concentrations at all traverse points.

2 concentration, (%CO
2)
adj, which accounts for the effects of CO
2 absorption and dilution air, may be used instead of the CO
2 concentration determined in this paragraph. The adjusted CO
2 concentration shall be determined by either of the procedures in

(c) The owner or operator may use either of the following procedures to determine the adjusted CO
2 concentration.
NR 440.21(5)(c)1.
1. The volumetric flow rates at the inlet and outlet of the wet scrubber and the inlet CO
2 concentration may be used to determine the adjusted concentration, (%CO
2)
adj, using the following equation:
(%CO2)adj, = (%CO2)di (Qdi/Qdo)
where:
(%CO2)adj is the adjusted outlet CO2 concentration, percent dry basis
(%CO2)di is the CO2 concentration measured before the scrubber, percent dry basis
Qdi is the volumetric flow rate of effluent gas before the wet scrubber, dscm/min (dscf/min)
Qdo is the volumetric flow rate of effluent gas after the wet scrubber, dscm/min (dscf/min)

a. At the outlet, Method 5 is used to determine the volumetric flow rate (Q
do) of the effluent gas.
NR 440.21(5)(c)1.b.
b. At the inlet, Method 2 is used to determine the volumetric flow rate (Q
di) of the effluent gas as follows: Two full velocity traverses are conducted, one immediately before and one immediately after each particulate run conducted at the outlet, and the results are averaged.
NR 440.21(5)(c)1.c.
c. At the inlet, the emission rate correction factor, integrated sampling and analysis procedure of Method 3B is used to determine the CO
2 concentration, (%CO
2)
di, as follows: At least 9 sampling points are selected randomly from the velocity traverse points and are divided randomly into 3 sets, equal in number of points; the first set of 3 or more points is used for the first run, the second set for the second run, and the third set for the third run. The CO
2 sample is taken simultaneously with each particulate run being conducted at the outlet, by traversing the 3 sampling points, or more, and sampling at each point for equal increments of time.
NR 440.21(5)(c)2.
2. Excess air measurements may be used to determine the adjusted CO
2 concentration, (%CO
2)
adj, using the following equation:
(%CO2)adj = (%CO2)di [(100 + %EAi)/ (100 + %EAo)]
where:
(%CO2)adj is the adjusted outlet CO2 concentration, percent dry basis
(%CO2)di is the CO2 concentration at the inlet of the wet scrubber, percent dry basis
%EAi is the excess air at the inlet of the scrubber, percent
%EAo is the excess air at the outlet of the scrubber, percent
NR 440.21(5)(c)2.a.
a. A gas sample is collected as in
subd. 1. c. and the gas samples at both the inlet and outlet locations are analyzed for CO
2, O
2 and N
2.
NR 440.21(5)(c)2.b.
b. Equation 3B-3 of Method 3B is used to compute the percentages of excess air at the inlet and outlet of the wet scrubber.
