3.3 Stack Sampling Location
The inner exhaust stack diameter for the Solar Centaur 40-4700S turbine (Unit T-2(#2)) was previously measured as 45 inches. The sampling ports for moisture, flow, NOx and CO measurements are approximately 2.7 pipe diameters downstream from the nearest flow disturbance and 0.8 pipe diameters upstream from the nearest disturbance. The test location will be verified during the test program to meet the minimum specifications of a
sampling location as defined by EPA Method 1. An aerial lift will be utilized, if needed, to conduct sampling.
Figure 1: Sample Location Diagram.
3.4 Emission Measurement Methodologies
Testing will be performed and calculated in accordance with EPA Test Methods 1-4, 7E and 10, in addition to the procedures found in 40 CFR 60.4400 (Subpart KKKK). Oxygen will be measured to allow for NOx emission levels to be corrected to 15% O2. Turbine horsepower and other operating conditions will be recorded for each test run and
submitted in the test report.
Three, one hour test runs will be conducted on the Solar Centaur 40-4700S turbine (Unit T-2(#2)) for NOx and CO.

3.6 Test Quality Assurance Procedures
3.6.1 Sampling Protocol
Precautions are taken to keep the gas analyzer in a clean, thermally stable, vibration free environment to minimize analyzer drift and associated errors. Pre test calibrations and post test operations are performed within the testing trailer environment. Samples are taken according to EPA Methods 1-4, 7E, 10 and applicable NSPS Subpart KKKK procedures. The data from the samples are converted directly into computer language and recorded in the Compliance Specialist’s laptop computer. This eliminates the need for sample labeling and secures the preservation of the data while reducing human error. In addition, parameters associated with the turbine are recorded on test sheets at the time of the tests. Linearity checks are performed using certified calibration gases to ensure that the zero, mid, and upscale calibrations are within the certified calibration level and zero. Pre-test calibrations are then conducted on the zero and selected mid or upscale calibration gas determined by observing the native concentration of the target analytes in the sampled. exhaust. After each test run the same zero and selected mid or upscale calibration gas are analyzed to verify they are within the required specifications. Sample times for stratification will be determined by observing the sample response time for the oxygen to reach a stable level for low and upscale calibration gas concentrations. The time will then be doubled and during stratification, each sample point will use this dwell time to determine the concentration.
3.6.2 Equipment Calibration and Measurement Preventive diagnostic functions are built directly into the equipment utilized for the
testing. This diagnostic function provides the Compliance Specialist with failure
warnings allowing the determination of when repairs are necessary without performing
12
painstaking preventative maintenance procedures. However, equipment is inspected
regularly by the Compliance Specialists to guarantee maximum operational status. The process involved with equipment calibration ensures that there is no divergence from the manufacturer’s specifications.
3.7 Turbine Load Approximation
Oasis Emission Consultants Inc. will approximate the turbine load using process parameters measured, such as gas throughput, suction/discharge pressure/temperature,
manufacturer’s BSFC, panel reading or fuel measurement (if available).
The Solar Centaur 40-4700S turbine has a rated output of 3,637 hp at base load. In accordance with 40 CFR 60.4400(b), testing will be conducted while the turbine is operating at 100 percent of peak load, plus or minus 25 percent. If at least 75 percent of
peak load cannot be achieved in practice, testing will be conducted at the highest
achievable load. As stipulated by UDEQ AO # DAQE-AN130830005-13 Condition II.B.2.b(H), testing will be conducted at no less than 90% of the production rate to date.
3.8 Test Methods Oasis Emission Consultants, Inc. will employ EPA 40 CFR 60 (A) methods as required
by UDEQ AO # DAQE-AN130830005-13 and in accordance with 40 CFR 60.4400
(Subpart KKKK). These methods are described below.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 1: Method 1 requires measurement of the various physical attributes of a stack to establish appropriate sampling locations.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 2: Method 2 provides the means to calculate the average wet velocity for the exhaust effluent gas. This method employs the use of a standard or S-type pitot tube, a thermometer and an inclined manometer. The
temperature, static and differential pressures are all used to calculate the average wet
velocity. This value may be used in conjunction with the known stack diameter, and measured moisture content (Method 4), to approximate the average dry volumetric flow rate.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 3A: Method 3A provides the means to
calculate the dry molecular weight of the effluent gas. After passing through a gas condenser, O2 gas concentrations from the effluent stream are measured by an instrumental analyzer. Measurements will be taken in conjunction with those from Method 2. The dry molecular weight will be calculated for each of the test runs. The O2 levels will also be used to allow for the correction to ppmvd @ 15% O2 for NOx.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 4: Method 4 allows for the evaluation of the moisture content within the effluent stream. A sample of the effluent stream is extracted at a constant rate. The water is condensed from the stream through a series of impingers surrounded by an ice bath. The total mass of the water condensed and the total volume
of gas measured are used to calculate the moisture content within the exhaust effluent
stream. Moisture content will be calculated for each of the test runs.
13
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 7E: Method 7E is the instrumental method for measuring the NOx concentration in the effluent stream. After passing through a sample conditioning system, NOx concentration is measured by a chemiluminescent gas analyzer. The analyzer is calibrated using EPA Protocol G1 gas before and after each one hour test run.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 10: Method 10 is the instrumental method for measuring the CO concentration in the effluent stream. After passing through a sample conditioning system, CO concentration is measured by an NDIR gas analyzer. The analyzer is calibrated using EPA Protocol G1 gas before and after each one hour test
run.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Subpart KKKK § 60.4400: Subpart KKKK regulates the Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) pollutants. NOx will be measured using Method 7E. A stratification check will be performed prior to testing to determine sampling
location according to EPA 40 CFR 60 Subpart KKKK § 60.4400(a)(3)(ii)(B).
