Introduction
On May 11, 2010, Aeros Environmental, Inc. performed compliance source testing for PanocheEnergy Center at their Panoche facility. Testing was to determine concentrations and emissions of NOx,CO, VOC, NH 3 , fuel sulfur (S0x as SO2) and particulate from one gas-fired turbine. In addition, a relativeaccuracy test audit (RATA) was conducted on Panoche Energy Center's CEM system for NOx, CO and02 . The unit was tested while operating under normal operating conditions using the following methods.

All testing was conducted by Chase Holsonbake, Kevin Sanchez, Jordan Winger and Mike Grayof Aeros Environmental, Inc. The VOC, particulate and fuel samples were analyzed by Lisa Marriott-Smith at Aeros Environmental's Bakersfield facility. Operation of the unit was supervised by RoyCampbell of Panoche Energy Center. The testing was not witnessed by the San Joaquin Valley AirPollution Control District.
Discussion:
Testing proceeded smoothly and in accordance with the District approved Source Test Protocol.As required, a concentration traverse was performed during test Run 1. Concentration gradients weredetected; therefore, all subsequent test runs were also traversed.

Sampling Apparatus
The sampling apparatus consists of a nozzle, a heater-wrapped probe, and a heated filterholder (the data sheets indicated the type of nozzle, probe and filter). The filter is connected toa teflon filter-to-impinger line. A series of impingers (data sheets indicated the type and contents)are connected in tandem and immersed in an ice bath. Following the absorption train, is a gaspump, dry gas meter, and a calibrated restriction orifice fitted with a magnehelic differentialpressure gauge. A type "S" pitot tube and temperature probe are positioned alongside the probeterminating at the sample nozzle, for the purpose of monitoring duct conditions throughout thetest.

EPA Method 1: Sampling and Velocity Traverses for Stationary Sources
Prior to the source testing, a site assessment is performed to determine the sample pointsthat obtained the best representative measurements of pollution concentrations and volumetricflow rates. EPA Method 1 takes into account duct area, straight run and cyclonic, or stratifiedflow patterns.
Page 76
Aeros Environmental, Inc. EPA Methods 1-4 and 5
Sampling and Analytical Procedures(Continued)
EPA Method 2: Velocity and Volumetric Flow Rates
A computer is used in selection of suitable sample/traverse points. The calibrated pitottube is connected to a magnehelic gauge and leak checked. A temperature and AP are thenrecorded at each traverse point and a duct static pressure is measured and recorded. A volumeflow rate is calculated from the measured traverse points.
EPA Method 3: % CO2, % 02, Dry Molecular Weight
Concurrent with each particulate sampling, an Integrated gas sample is withdrawn fromthe summation of the traverse points, through the train and collected at the outlet of the meterinto a sample bag. The contents of the sample bladder are analyzed by Orsat for fixed gascomposition.
EPA Method 4: Percent Water
Tare weights of the charged individual impingers are recorded prior to sampling. Aftersampling, the final weights are recorded and percent water calculated from the weight of watercollected and the dry gas volume sampled.
EPA Method 5: Particulate Emissions
A series of preliminary measurements are made prior to conducting the particulate test.EPA Methods 1, 2, and 3 are performed to determine location and number of traverse points,average gas velocity, and pressure and gas molecular weight. Percent water is determined bya psychometric chart or from combustion analysis of the fixed gases. The results of thesemeasurements are entered Into the field computer for the purpose of determining an appropriatenozzle size for isokinetic sampling.
The Method 5 apparatus is then prepared on-site in the mobile laboratory. The absorptiontrain is charged with freshly prepared chemicals, weighted on a calibrated digital balance to thenearest 0.1 grams, and assembled. The probe is brushed out and rinsed with distilled water andacetone, then the fitter holder is charged. The sampling apparatus is sealed and transported tothe sampling site where it is assembled and leak tested at 15 inches mercury vacuum.
The probe, filter and impinger line heaters are set at 250° F and the probe is positionedinto the duct at the first traverse point with the nozzle out of the flow.
The nozzle is positioned into the gas flow and the vacuum pump is started immediatelyand adjusted to obtain an isokinetic sample rate. A complete traverse is performed whilesampling at a minimum of two minutes per sample point.
Upon completion of the traverse, the vacuum pump is turned off and the probe transferredinto the next sample EPA port where an identical sample-traverse is then performed. Ductconditions (temperature, AP) and sampling conditions (meter temperature, volume and pressure,probe, filter, sample line, impInger temperatures, and absorption train vacuum) are monitored andrecorded regularly for each sample point.

Sampling and Analytical Procedures(Continued)
EPA Method 5 (Continued):
Upon completion of sampling, the apparatus is leak tested at a vacuum greater than thehighest observed vacuum. The leak is recorded and the apparatus then sealed and transportedto the mobile laboratory. The heated fitter-to-impinger line is rinsed with a known amount ofdistilled water into the first impinger.
The filter and any loose particulate are carefully removed from the filter holder withtweezers. It is then placed in a labeled petri dish and transported to the laboratory. The nozzle,probe, and filter top housing is rinsed and brushed three times with distilled water and acetone.The sample fractions are combined, bottled, labeled, and the fluid level marked for transportationto the laboratory. Aliquots of distilled water and acetone are similarly treated for blank analysis.
The absorption train is inspected for abnormalities and disassembled. The impingers areweighed on a digital balance for a percent moisture determination. The contents of the impingersare quantitatively transferred into separate bottles, sealed, labeled, and fluid level marked fortransportation to the laboratory for analysis. Aliquots of the reagent grade impinger contents aresaved for blank analysis.
The filter is transferred to an oven and heated at 225° F for 3 hours and then placed ina desiccator for 24 hours. The filter is then weighed on a Mettler digital balance to the nearest0.01mg. Additional six hour desiccations and weighings are then performed until the differencebetween consecutive weighings are less than 0.5 mg or one percent of the total filtrate weight(weighed to a constant weight).
The nozzle/probe/filter top wash is examined for any leakage during transportation andtransferred to a tared evaporation dish. The wash is then evaporated at an elevated temperature,below the boiling point of the wash, with occasional swirling. The dish and wash residue arethen desiccated and weighed to a constant weight.
The net weight of particulate is calculated from the two fractions (three fractions includingthe impinger contents). Concentrations (gr/DSCF) and emissions (lbs/hr) or other applicableunits are then calculated and repotted.

The sample conditioning system consists of a borosilicate glass tube or 316 grade stainless steel probefitted with a sintered stainless steel, or Pyrex glass wool particulate filter. The probe is fitted with a Teflon (TFE)sample line, which connects to a water condensation system located at the source. The condensation systemconsists of three 500 ml short stem glass impingers, connected, in a series, immersed in an ice bath. The gas isdelivered to the instrument trailer with a diaphragm pump. The sample system is leak checked prior to samplingby sealing the end of the sample probe and adjusting the sample pump to its maximum rate (approximately 22"Hg). When the sampling flow rotameters indicate a "zero" flow measurement, the sampling system is consideredleak free.
Manifold System
The sample gas is delivered to each analyzer through a five-way valve and regulated with a needle valve.flow rotameter. Manifold pressure is controlled with a backpressure regulator, which is typically set at three psi.Zero gases (N 2), as well as other appropriate calibration gases, are delivered to each analyzer through the samefive-way valve and flow meter. All manifold parts consist of glass, stainless steel, or Teflon materials.
Data Acquisition and Analog Strip Chart Data Reduction
Measurement data from each analyzer output is recorded by an electronic Data Acquisition System and manuallyon a color analog strip chart recorder. Both systems are set up specifically for each job requirement.
Data Acquisition System (DAS)
The electronic DAS acts as the primary source of all measurement data for reporting purposes. The DAS pollsthe voltage output of each analyzer every 11100111 of a second. The data is then presented on the computerscreen as six second and one one minute averages. The one minute averages are then printed out in tabularform in excel and presented in the report.
Analog Strip Chart Recorder
The analog strip chart recorder acts as the secondary source of all measurement data and as a record of alltesting and calibration activities. Data is recorded for each analyzer continuously by separate-discrete coloredpens on 110% full scale paper. Color copies of the strip chart are presented in the report.

Sampling Procedures
The sample is drawn via an evacuated canister through a stainless steel/teflon probe into a tedlar bag.Each sample is evacuated and then filled.
The sampling apparatus consists of a stainless steel probe, teflon sample line, and a three liter tedlarbag housed in a rigid, air-tight container (evacuated canister). The container is connected to a vacuumpump/rotameter/dry gas meter assembly.
The sampling apparatus is transported to the sampling site, set up, and leak tested by observing azero reading on the rotameter. The sample probe/teflon line is purged with stack gas and the three-way valveopened to initiate the sampling. Sampling is conducted over a twenty minute period, at the end of which afinal leak test is performed and the bag recovered from the sample container.
The samples are stored out of the sunlight, packaged and delivered to the analytical laboratory foranalysis of C 1 -C6+ by flame ionization detector.
A bag blank (zero grade nitrogen) is included with each sample set.

Source Test ProcedureAmmonia, Integrated Sampling
Applicability
This method is used to quantity emissions of ammonia.
Principle
Sample gas is drawn through a solution of 0.1 N hydrochloric acid which absorbs theammonia. The ammonia is then analyzed according to Analytical Procedure EPA 350.3.
Range
The minimum measurable concentration of ammonia is 1 ppm at the sample volumespecified in this procedure.
Elevated concentrations of ammonia may be determined by increasing the concentrationof the absorbing reagent, hydrochloric acid solution. The concentration of reagent to be usedmay be determined by stoichiometry, allowing a 50% excess.
Interference
Refer to EPA Method 350.3.
Apparatus
Probe. The probe is constructed of stainless steel or borosilicate glass tubing fitted witha glass wool filter in the nozzle.
Condensers. Three Greenberg-Smith impingers are used as absorber/condensers. Thefinal impinger has a thermometer attached to the inlet stem.
Cooling system. An ice bath is used to contain the impingers.
Sample pump. A leak-free vacuum pump capable of maintaining a 14.3 liter/min (0.5CFM) flow rate at 15 inches of mercury, is used. The pump has a flow control valve and vacuumgauge attached to the inlet.
Silica Ge/ Tube. Approximately 500cc of silica gel is used (with a Drierite indicator) toinsure that the gas entering the dry test meter is dry.
Dry Test Meter. A dry gas test meter is used that is accurate within + 2% of the truevolume and equipped with a thermometer to measure the outlet temperature.
Connections. Teflon tubing is used in making all connections that come in contact withthe sample. Tygon tubing is used for all other connections.
Barometer. A barometer that is accurate to within + 0.2 inches of mercury is used.

Source Test ProcedureAmmonia, Integrated Sampling
Reagents
0.1N of Hydrochloric acid is used. 7.30 ml concentrated HCI is dissolved in sufficientwater to make a 1.0 liter solution.
Pre-test Procedures
100 ml of the HCI solution is added to each of two impingers. The impingers then arestoppered. 100 ml of the HCI solution is retained to be analyzed as a blank. The sampling trainis assembled as shown in the Sampling Diagram. The sampling train is leak-tested by startingthe pump, plugging the probe, and adjusting the pump inlet vacuum to 10 inches Hg. The leakrate must not exceed 0.6 liter/min (0.02 CFM) through the dry test meter. Before stopping thepump, the plug in the sampling probe is carefully released to avoid back flow of the impingersolution.
The initial dry test meter reading and barometric pressure are recorded on the samplingdata sheet. If there is evidence of concentration stratification, the sampling traverse points areselected accordingly. Otherwise, sampling is at a single point.
Sampling
Each test run shall be a minimum of thirty minute duration when testing emissions fromcontinuous operations. Each test run at batch process operation shall be for 90% of the batchtime or thirty minutes, whichever is less.
The probe is positioned at the sampling point and the pump started. Sampling is at aconstant rate of 14.3 liter/min (0.5 CFM) during the test as determined by the dry gas meter.
The following information is recorded at five minute intervals.A. Dry test meter temperatureB. Impinger outlet temperatureC. Dry test meter volumeD. Dry test meter orifice A H.
Ice is added as necessary to maintain impinger temperatures at 7 °C (45 °F) or less. Atthe conclusion of each run, the pump is stopped, the probe removed from the stack, and thefinal meter reading recorded. The probe is pointed upward and the sample train purged withambient air.
Three consecutive samples will be taken.
Post-test Procedures
The impinger contents, including rinsings, are recovered into a 500m1 nalgene bottle. Thehydrochloric acid solutions and blank are individually analyzed for total ammonia contentaccording to analytical procedure.

Nitrogen, AmmoniaPotentiometric, Ion Selective Electrode
Scope and Application
This method is applicable to the measurement of ammonia-nitrogen in drinking, surface,and saline waters, as well as domestic and industrial wastes.
The method covers the range from 0.03 to 1400 mg NH 3-N/II. Color and turbidity haveno effect on the measurements, thus distillation may not be necessary.
Summary
The ammonia is determined pantentiometrically using an ion selective ammonia electrodeand a pH meter having an expanded milli-volt scale or specific ion meter.
The ammonia electrode uses a hydrophobic gas-permeable membrane to separate thesample solution from an ammonia chloride internal solution. Ammonia in the sample diffusesthrough the membrane and alters the pH of the internal solution, which is sensed by a pHelectrode. The constant level of chloride in the internal solution is sensed by a chloride selectiveion electrode which acts as the reference electrode.
Sample Handling and Preservation
Samples are preserved with 2 ml of conc. 1-12SO4 per liter and stored at 4° C.
Interferences
Volatile amines will act as a positive interference.
Apparatus
The unknown sample is diluted, volumetrically to 500 mls. A 100 ml aliquot is removedand added to a 150 ml beaker. The 100 ml beaker is placed unto a magnetic stirrer. 1 ml of10N sodium hydroxide is added to the sample while recording the stabilized electronic potentialvalue of the specific ion electrode.
A series of standards (0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 mg/ml NH 3) are analyzed by the proceduredescribed above. The values obtained with the standards are plotted on semi logarithmic graphpaper as electronic potential vs. NH 3 concentrations.
The unknown sample is compared to the standard curve generated in the above section.The concentration of ammonia, mg/li, in the unknown sample is recorded.
If necessary, serial dilutions may be performed on the unknown sample to bring it into therange of the standard calibration curve.

Selfur information
Much of the sulfur contained in the gas delivered by PG&E consists of compounds that naturally occur in the gas, but PG&E alsoadds sulfur compounds to odorize the gas. The gas is odorized as a safety measure so that leaks can be detected by consumers.
Common sulfur compounds that may be found in the gas supply are Tetrahydrothiophene (THT), Tertiary Butyl Mercaptan (TBM),Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS), and Hydrogen Sulfide (H25). A more comprehensive listing of typical sulfur compounds that may be foundin the PG&E gas supply is shown at the end of this page. These compounds are harmless at low levels but can cause customercomplaints due to excessive gas odor or in the case of Hydrogen Sulfide become dangerous at very high levels.
PG&E continuously monitors the gas stream for specific sulfur compounds at several points on its system as part of its program toensure that the gas is properly odorized and that sulfur levels are within established limits. The monitoring equipment works well forthe intended purpose but it does not provide comprehensive data on all potential sulfur compounds flowing in the gas supply. Tosupplement the continuous monitoring equipment PG&E has started a program to collect and analyze samples from representativeparts of the system to provide an estimate of the total sulfur contained in the PG&E gas supply expressed as parts per million byvolume or grains per 100 Standard Cubic Feet.
PG&E's Gas Rule 21, Section C contains specifications on the quality of the gas received into the system and these specificationsinclude limits for sulfur compounds as well as for other constituents contained in the natural gas. Gas Rule 21 can be found in thePGE.com Web tariff book and the sulfur limits are summarized below.
Rule 21, Section C
Section C of Gas Rule 21 provides quality specifications for gas delivered into the PG&E pipeline system from California gas wellsand generally governs the gas quality received from interconnecting pipelines. However, gas quality specifications, contained in theinterconnection agreement may supersede the Gas Rule 21 C specifications.
• Total Sulfur: The gas shall contain no more than one grain (17 ppm) of total sulfur per one hundred standard cubic feet.• Mercaptan Sulfur: The gas shall contain no more than 0.5 grain (8 ppm) of mercaptan sulfur per one hundred standard
cubic feet.• Hydrogen Sulfide: The gas shall contain no more than 0.25 grain (4 ppm) of hydrogen sulfide per one hundred standard
cubic feet.
Pipeline Quality Gas
Many air quality compliance reporting requirements can be met by certifying that the fuel used in the process was "pipeline qualitynatural gas." The EPA criteria for pipeline quality natural gas from (40CFR72.2] is as follows:
"Pipeline natural gas means a naturally occurring fluid mixture of hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, ethane, or propane) produced ingeological formations beneath the Earth's surface that maintains a gaseous state at standard atmospheric temperature andpressure under ordinary conditions, and which is provided by a supplier through a pipeline. Pipeline natural gas contains 0.5 grainsor less of total sulfur per 100 standard cubic feet. Additionally, pipeline natural gas must either be composed of at least 70 percentmethane by volume or have a gross calorific value between 950 and 1100 Btu per standard cubic foot."
One criterion is that the total sulfur be less than 0.5 gr/100 scf which is a lower amount than in PG&E's tariff. To help customersunderstand PG&E gas quality in relation to their reporting requirements, the total sulfur measured in the gas stream as total sulfuris expressed as grains per 100 standard cubic feet (gr/100 scf). PG&E's gas supply typically qualifies as "pipeline quality naturalgas" as shown in the Gas System Survey Results table below.
Gas System Sulfur Survey Results
PG&E has B program of periodically surveying representative locations on the system to determine the sulfur containing compoundconcentrations in the gas stream. PG&E tests for sulfur using ASTM D 5504 "Standard Test Method for Determination of SulfurCompounds in Natural Gas and Gaseous Fuels by Gas Chromatography and Chemiluminescence." Our detection limit isapproximately 10 PPBv for each compound. PG&E odorizes our gas with a 50/50 blend of Tetrahydothiophene (THT) and TertiaryButyl Mercaptan (TBM) and they are typically present at approximately 1 PPMv each in the natural gas on our system. The valuesshown in the table below provide a representative sample of the gas flowing on the PG&E system.
Total Sulfur Total SulfurAverage all sites Maximum
The total readings include 0.400 PPMv of sulfur to account for compounds not measured by the existing equipment This amounthas been determined by supplemental testing at selected locations on the gas system.
Disclaimer
The data points shown above are from representative samples of sulfur content only. The data points are provided solely forInformational purposes, and not for billing or odorant level monitoring purposes. PG&E makes no claim or representation that thedata points provided are accurate. Data may be subject to adjustments and corrections.

Four simple cycle General Electric LMS100 natural gasfired combustion turbines. Each generating system israted at 100 MW and served by a selective catalyticreduction (SCR) system and an oxidation catalyst. Eachturbine has a designated Continuous EmissionsMonitoring System (GEMS) for recording emissions ofNOx, CO, and 02
All four units will be tested while operating at normal fullload operating conditions.
The objective of the testing is to document annualtesting requirements and CEM's certification asdescribed in the permits issued by the San JoaquinValley Air Pollution Control District.
Test Dates: May 11, 12, 18 and 19, 2010Quality Assurance to begin at 7:30 AM
Page 186
Testing Parameters
Testing is to determine concentrations (ppm, ppm @ 15% 0 2) and emissions (lb/hr, lb/MMBtu) ofNOx, CO, VOC, NH 3, SOx as SO 2, and particulate exiting the exhaust of four natural gas-fired turbines. Arelative accuracy test audit (RATA) will be performed on each stacks CEM system for NOx, CO and 02.
NOx, CO, and 0 2 will be determined from instrumental Methods 7E,3A, and 10. The initial threeNOx, CO, and 02 compliance test runs will be used as runs one, two and three of the Relative AccuracyTest Audit (RATA). A minimum six additional test runs will be performed to complete the RATA testing.A stratification traverse will be performed during the first test run. Additional test runs will be performedusing a traverse, if any single point exceeds + 10% from the average concentration. If no point exceeds +10% from the average, additional test runs will be performed with the probe located at the average of thestack. The continuous monitors will be calibrated either directly with calibration gasses or by EPAMethod 205, through the use of a gas divider.
VOC samples will be collected into Tedlar bags and analyzed for C 1 -C6+ and reported asmethane. The VOC samples will analyzed offsite by GC-FID. NH 3 will be sampled with a traversesimultaneous with the initial three NOx, CO, and 0 2 compliance test runs. Samples will be collected intoHCL impingers at a constant sample rate and will be analyzed offsite by specific ion electrode.Particulate will be sampled by EPA Method 5 and analyzed gravimetrically for front and back halfparticulate. Volume flow (DSCFM) for EPA Method 5 calculations will be determined by EPA Methods 1-4. Volume flow for all other calculations will be determined based on fuel rates and fuel analysis. Thefollowing methods will be used.

Four simple cycle General Electric LMS100 natural gasfired combustion turbines. Each generating system israted at 100 MW and served by a selective catalyticreduction (SCR) system and an oxidation catalyst. Eachturbine has a designated Continuous EmissionsMonitoring System (CEMS) for recording emissions ofNOx, CO, and 02
All four units will be tested while operating at normal fullload operating conditions.
Test Objective: The objective of the testing is to document annualtesting requirements and CEM's certification asdescribed in the permits issued by the San JoaquinValley Air Pollution Control District.
Test Dates: May 11, 12, 18 and 19, 2010Quality Assurance to begin at 7:30 AM
NOx, CO, and 0 2 will be determined from instrumental Methods 7E,3A, and 10. The initial threeNOx, CO, and 0 2 compliance test runs will be used as runs one, two and three of the Relative AccuracyTest Audit (RATA). A minimum six additional test runs will be performed to complete the RATA testing.A stratification traverse will be performed during the first test run. Additional test runs will be performedusing a traverse, if any single point exceeds + 10% from the average concentration. If no point exceeds +10% from the average, additional test runs will be performed with the probe located at the average of thestack. The continuous monitors will be calibrated either directly with calibration gasses or by EPAMethod 205, through the use of a gas divider.
VOC samples will be collected into Tedlar bags and analyzed for C 1 -C6. and reported asmethane. The VOC samples will analyzed offsite by GC-FID. NH 3 will be sampled with a traversesimultaneous with the initial three NOx, CO, and 02 compliance test runs. Samples will be collected intoHCL impingers at a constant sample rate and will be analyzed offsite by specific ion electrode.Particulate will be sampled by EPA Method 5 and analyzed gravimetrically for front and back halfparticulate. Volume flow (DSCFM) for EPA Method 5 calculations will be determined by EPA Methods 1-4. Volume flow for all other calculations will be determined based on fuel rates and fuel analysis. Thefollowing methods will be used.

Aeros Environmental, Inc. (Aeros) was retained by Panoche Energy Center LLC to conduct complianceemission tests of four 100 MW simple-cycle natural gas-fired General Electric turbine generators, eachserved by an SCR and an oxidation catalyst. The units were fired by natural gas under normal operatingloads (-100%). The source test measured NOx, CO, VOC, S0x, NH3 , PM, and 02. Fuel samples weretaken for CHONS and fuel H2S analyses and determinations of fuel HHV and F-factors.
District compliance staff found notification, reporting, and source test protocols employed during the teststo be satisfactory.
The data and calculations included in the report submittal were evaluated to ensure accuracy.
A review of the report submitted by Aeros on behalf of Panoche Energy Center indicated that all fourturbine units were successful in meeting the emission limitations specified in the permits.
