Open Table
| You must . . . | Using . . . | According to the following requirements . . . |
|---|---|---|
| a. demonstrate formaldehyde emissions meet the emission limitations specified in Table 1 by a performance test initially and on an annual basis AND | Test Method 320 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix A; ASTM D6348-12e11 provided that the test plan preparation and implementation provisions of Annexes A1 through A8 are followed and the %R as determined in Annex A5 is equal or greater than 70% and less than or equal to 130%;2 or other methods approved by the Administrator | formaldehyde concentration must be corrected to 15-percent O2, dry basis. Results of this test consist of the average of the three 1-hour runs. Test must be conducted within 10 percent of 100-percent load. |
| b. select the sampling port location and the number of traverse points AND | Method 1 or 1A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A | if using an air pollution control device, the sampling site must be located at the outlet of the air pollution control device. |
| c. determine the O2 concentration at the sampling port location AND | Method 3A or 3B of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A; ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-19811 (Part 10) manual portion only; ASTM D6522-111 if the turbine is fueled by natural gas | measurements to determine O2 concentration must be made at the same time as the performance test. |
| d. determine the moisture content at the sampling port location for the purposes of correcting the formaldehyde concentration to a dry basis | Method 4 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A or Test Method 320 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix A, or ASTM D6348-12e11 | measurements to determine moisture content must be made at the same time as the performance test. |
1Incorporated by reference, see §63.14.
2The %R value for each compound must be reported in the test report, and all field measurements must be corrected with the calculated %R value for that compound using the following equation:
Reported Results = ((Measured Concentration in Stack)/(%R)) × 100.
