where:
E is the emission rate of particulate matter, kg/Mg (lb/ton) of stone feed
cs is the concentration of particulate matter, g/dscm (gr/dscf)
Qsd is the volumetric flow rate of effluent gas, dscm/hr (dscf/hr)
P is the stone feed rate, Mg/hr (ton/hr)
K is the conversion factor, 1000 g/kg (7000 gr/lb)
NR 440.51(5)(b)2.2. Method 5 shall be used at negative-pressure fabric filters and other types of control devices and Method 5D shall be used at positive-pressure fabric filters to determine the particulate matter concentration (cs) and the volumetric flow rate (Qsd) of the effluent gas. The sampling time and sample volume for each run shall be at least 60 minutes and 0.90 dscm (31.8 dscf).
NR 440.51(5)(b)3.3. The monitoring device of sub. (4) (d) shall be used to determine the stone feed rate (P) for each run.
NR 440.51(5)(b)4.4. Method 9 and the procedures in s. NR 440.11 shall be used to determine opacity.
NR 440.51(5)(c)(c) During the particulate matter run, the owner or operator shall use the monitoring devices in sub. (4) (c) 1. and 2. to determine the average pressure loss of the gas stream through the scrubber and the average scrubbing liquid supply pressure.
