2013 Emissions Inventory WorkshopEXAMPLE CALCULATIONS

General Equation

For most emission sources the following equation is used:

E = A * EFWhere

E = Calculated emissions

A = Activity or annual process rate

EF = Emission factor - determined by the method of calculation

Examples sources:

• AP-42

• WebFire

• Permit

Control Equipment Calculations

2013 Emissions Inventory Workshop 24

Capture Efficiency:

The percentage of air emission that is collected and routed to the control equipment. Most control devices have a 100% capture efficiency.

Control Efficiency:

The percentage of air pollutant that is removed from the air stream by the control device.

A Complex Situation: Capture Efficiency, Primary Efficiency & Secondary Efficiency

Capture Device: Hood

Therefore, the other 10% is emitted directly to the atmosphere

Secondary control device: Baghouse

• The control equipment removes 98% of PM 10 from the emission stream.

Two Controls – Grain Handling Calculation

Primary Efficiency (PE)=80%=0.80

Secondary Efficiency (SE)=98%=0.98

Captured E = A * EF * CE * (1 – PE) * (1 – SE)

Uncaptured E = A * EF * (1 – CE)
