Effluent Characteristics for Emission Stream #5

Emission stream flow rate (Q ) = 3000 acfm
e
Emission stream temperature (T ) = 85°F
e
Hazardous air pollutant (HAP) = ammonia, NH

HAP emission stream concentration (HAP ) = 20,000 ppmv
e
Pressure (P ) = 760 mm Hg

When a permit review is submitted for an absorption control solution, such data must be
supplied by the applicant to the appropriate regulatory authority. In this example, calcula-
tions are presented which will be used to confirm the applicant’s data. The following is a
typical data sheet used for an absorption project permit review:
A. Emission Stream Data
Hazardous Air Pollutant
1. Emission stream flow rate (maximum possible), Q = acfm
e
2. Temperature, T = ºF
e
3. HAP = (chemical name and formula)
4. HAP , HAP emission concentration = ppmv
e
5. Pressure, P = mm Hg or inches of water
e
6. RE, required removal efficiency = %
B. Review Data for Permit Review (supplied by applicant)
Absorption System Operating Conditions ( at 77°F, 1 atm standard conditions)
