L 111 1 INTRODUCTION On June 28 & 29, 1994 Interpol1 Laboratories personnel conducted air emission compliance tests on the following sources at the Louisiana PacificCorporation (LP) OSB Plant located in Dungannon, Virginia. Source Parameters Thermal Oil Heater Stack PM,PM-10 Dryer Stack PM,NO,,CO,CH,O,THC's Press Vent Stack CH,O,THC's,Phenol,MDI On-site testing was pedormed by Ed Trowbrige, Mark Kaehler, Ken Rosenthal, and Dennis Marso. Coordination between testing activities and plant operation was provided by Sue Somers of LP. The tests were witnessed by Stanley Faggert and Glenn Diehl of the Virginia Department of Air Pollution Control Commonwealth of Virginia. The Konus Oil Heater tested was manufactured by Konus Kessel in 1985. It is equipped with two screw auger-type stokers and is fired with a mixture of bark and wood. The unit is equipped with an economizer and has a design heat input capacity of 31 106BTU/HR. Particulate emissions from the Konus are controlled by a large diameter cyclone manufactured by Konus in series with a fabric filter dust collector manufactured by C.E. Preheater. The baghouse has a pulsed air cleaning system. Cleaned flue gas is emitted to the atmosphere by a 75-foot high radial steel stack which has a diameter of 41 inches. The Wafer Dryer tested is a Model 1260 TNW/L dryer manufactured by MEC Company. Particulate emissions from the wafer dryer are controlled by a primary cyclone followed by a secondary multicyclone also manufactured by MEC Company in series with an electrified filter bed unit manufactured by EFB, Inc. Cleaned flue gas is emitted to the atmosphere by a 15@fOOt high radial steel stack which has a diameter of 48 inches. The press vents tested are the exhaust from general ventilators positioned over the board press and unloader. The press and unloader vent exhausts are emitted to the atmosphere via a common stack which has a diameter of 4'-11.5". ,. ! 1 L~- Particulate evaluations were performed in accordance with EPA Methods 2-5, CFR Title 40, Part 60, Appendix A (revisedJuly 1, 1993). A preliminary determination of the gas linear velocity profile was made at each test location before the first particulate determination to allow selection of the appropriate nozzle diameter for isokinetic sample withdrawal. An lnterpoll Labs sampling train which meets or exceeds specifications in the abovecited reference was used to isokinetically extract particulate samples by means of a heated glass- lined probe. Wet catch samples were collected in the back half of the Method 5 sampling train and analyzed in accordance with EPA Method 202. PM-10 samplingwas conducted in accordance with €PA Method 201A (CFR Title 40, Part 51, Appendix M). An Interpoll Labs sampling train which meets or exceeds specifica- tions in the abovecited reference was used to extract PM-10 samples by means of an Anderson PM-10 cyclone and a stainless steel probe. The cyclone used in this work meets or exceeds the specifications of Method 201A. Velocity pressure measurements were made prior to, and during, each run to determine the proper dwell times at each traverse point. The oxides of nitrogen samples (Runs 2 & 3) were collected using an all-glass Method 7 sampling train. A heated stainless steel probe was used to extract the samples from the exhaust stream. A plug of glass-wool was used in the end of the probe to remove particulate material. The NO, samples were collected in volume-calibrated twc-liter all-glass flasks. An aliquot of 25 cc of absorbing solution was added to each flask on-site; the flask was closed; inserted into the sampling train; and evacuated. The probe was then purged and the sample collected over a 15 second interval. The flask was then closed; the flask removed from the sampling train; shook for two minutes and then secured for transport to the laboratory. Upon arrival at the laboratory, the NO, samples are logged in, placed in a designated area and maintained at 72 "F for 24 hours to allow completion of the conversion of NO to NO, and absorption in the acidified peroxide reagent. The flasks are then shook to complete absorption; attached to a mercury manometer and the static pressure and temperature recorded. The samples are then recovered and analyzed by ion chromatography. 2 Oxides of Nitrogen (Run 1 ONLY) and carbon monoxide determinations were performed in accordance with EPA Method 7E and 10. A slip stream of sample gas was withdrawn from the exhaust gas stream using a heated stainless steel probe equipped with a filter to remove interfering particulate material. The particulate-free gas was transported to the analyzers by means of a heat-traced probe and filter assembly. After passing through the filter, the gas passed through a chilled condenser-type moisture removal system. The particulate-free dry gas was then transported to the analyzers with the excess exhausted to the atmosphere through a calibrated orifice which was used to ensure that the flow from the stack exceeds the requirements of the analyzers. A three-way valve on the probe was used to introduce standard gas for the "system bias check". The analog response of the oxides of nitrogen analyzer was recorded with a strip chart recorder. The analyzer was calibrated with Scott Specialty, National Specialty, and Linde Gases (EPA Protocol 1) and Certified Master standard gases. The instrument was calibrated before and after each run as per EPA Method 7E and 10. The sample probe was moved through a three-point traverse (116,316, 5/6 of the stack diameter) to measure oxides of nitrogen concentrations. Formaldehyde samples were collected using EPA Method 001 1 (SW 846 3rd Ed.). The samples were collected isokinetically using a Method 5 sampling train with an aqueous acidic 2,Qdinitrophenylhydrazine absorbing solution and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Total gaseous hydrocarbon concentrations were determined instrumentally using a Ratfisch Model RS55 heated flame ionization detector (HFID) calibrated against propane in air standards. The THC concentration was continuously monitored by extracting a slipstream of exhaust gas by means of a heated probe and filter holder. A heat-traced teflon line was used to transport the sample gas from the filter holder outlet to the analyzer inlet. Phenol concentrations were determined from the Press Vent using a Method 5 sampling train with neutral buffered absorbing reagent followed by extraction with methylene chloride and direct analysis by GUMS with no concentration (EPA Method 8270). The samples were field spiked with 5.33 mg of phenol d6 and 59.8 mg of 2-fluorophenol.
