The owner or operator does not have to measure Ew if the owner or operator elects to assume Ew = 0
Xk is the fraction of the total heat input from fuel combustion derived from coal and oil, as determined by applicable procedures in Method 19
NR 440.207(5)(e)2.2. The owner or operator of an affected facility that qualifies under the provisions of sub.

where:
%Ps is the percent of potential SO2 emission rate, in percent
%Rg is the SO2 removal efficiency of the control device as determined by Method 19, in percent
%Rf is the SO2 removal efficiency of fuel pretreatment as determined by Method 19, in percent
NR 440.207(5)(f)2.2. If coal, oil, or coal and oil are combusted with other fuels, the same procedures required in subd. 1. are used, except as provided for in the following: NR 440.207(5)(f)2.a.a. To compute the %Ps, an adjusted %Rg (%Rgo) is computed from Eaoo from par. (e) 1. and an adjusted SO2 inlet rate (Eaio) using the following formula: %Rgo = 100 [1.0 - (Eaoo/Eai)]
where:
%Rgo is the adjusted %Rg, in percent
Eaoo is the adjusted Eao, ng/J (lb/million Btu)
Eaio is the adjusted average SO2 inlet rate, ng/J (lb/million Btu)
NR 440.207(5)(f)2.b.b. To compute Eaio, an adjusted hourly SO2 inlet rate (Ehio) is used. The Ehio is computed using the following formula: Ehio = [Ehi - Ew (1 - Xk)]/Xk
where:
Ehio is the adjusted Ehi, ng/J (lb/million Btu)
Ehi is the SO2 concentration in fuels other than coal and oil combusted in the affected facility, as determined by fuel sampling and analysis procedures in Method 19, ng/J (lb/million Btu). The value Ew for each fuel lot is used for each hourly average during the time that the lot is being combusted. The owner or operator does not have to measure Ew if the owner or operator elects to assume Ew = 0
Xk is the fraction of the total heat input from fuel combustion derived from coal and oil, as determined by applicable procedures in Method 19
