3.3 Stack Sampling Location
The inner exhaust stack diameter for the Waukesha F3514GSI compressor engine will be measured by the Oasis Emission Consultants, Inc. Compliance Specialist during the compliance
test and will be verified to meet the minimum specifications of a sampling location as defined by
EPA Method 1 / EPA 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ. An aerial lift will be utilized, if needed, to conduct sampling. The 740 hp Waukesha F3514GSI natural gas fired, rich burn engine (Unit ID: ICE-1) employs a
NSCR catalyst and AFRC to regulate NOx, CO and VOC emission levels.

Figure 1: Sample Location Diagram.
3.4 Emission Measurement Methodologies
Testing will be performed and emissions calculated on the Waukesha F3514GSI engine (Unit
ID: ICE-1), in accordance with EPA Test Methods 1-3 and ASTM D 6348-03 for NOx, CO, VOC (as NMNEHC C3) and H2O. Three, one hour test runs will be conducted for NOx, CO and VOC.
The MKS Multigas 2030 FTIR system inherently converts the wet levels of NOx, CO and VOC
(as NMNEHC C3) to dry levels and displays the dry levels to the Compliance Specialist(s) via a computer display. The system is able to perform this conversion due to the FTIR also measuring the moisture content of the effluent stream. Therefore, it is the dry levels that are typically logged.
9
The schematic for our sampling system is shown below.
Figure 2: Schematic of FTIR Sampling System.
The sampling system is used to draw the sample from the stack at an elevated temperature, remove particulates and push the gas through a secondary heated line into the MKS 2030 analyzer to maintain correct pressure and temperature. There is no reduction in water concentration or any other component.
3.4.1 Measurement of VOC (NMNEHC C3)
The algorithm currently used for NMNEHC C3 and developed for natural gas fired applications by MKS instruments in accordance with EPA standards, is the following:
(2.4*c8/(1+exp((2-c8)/0.2))+1.9*c11/(1+exp((2-c11)/0.2))+6*c12/(1+exp((0.5-c12) /0.2))+2.85*c13/(1+exp((2-c13)/0.2))+3*c14/(1+exp((1-c14)/0.2)))/3
c8= acetylene
c11= ethylene c12= hexane c13= propylene c14= propane
Note: The constants in front of each of the compounds listed represents the FID response factor when calibrated with Propane. As with any CEMS analyzer, the FTIR may demonstrate a negative zero bias. The “exp”
functions listed in the algorithm above are intended to mathematically filter out any negative
biases and set them to approach zero.

3.5 Equipment Utilization
Oasis Emission Consultants Inc. will utilize the following gas analyzers and associated equipment for this testing:
• MKS MultiGas 2030 FTIR Continuous Gas Analyzer
• Laptop Computer for the FTIR Analyzer using MKS MG2000 Software
• 75ft or 100ft Heated Teflon Line w/ Heated Sample Probe and Spike Bypass Line
• Standard or S-Type Pitot Tube c/w 20 ft. Heated Sample Line • Fyrite Analyzer for O2/CO2 Measurement • EPA Protocol G1 Calibration Gas
3.6 Test Quality Assurance Procedures
Calibration Transfer Standards (CTS) procedures will be conducted according to ASTM requirements for both pre and post testing. Similarly, QA spiking procedures will be followed for pre and/or post testing. Various factors often make determining the exact concentrations for spiking procedures indiscernible prior to testing, even if the engine has been previously tested.
Furthermore, it is infeasible to obtain and transport a multitude of gas concentrations for varying
analytes. Therefore, a mixed gas bottle with a high enough concentration for multiple engines may be utilized during the spiking procedures. A summary of all spiking procedures/results will be provided in the test report.
Analysis of the CO2 exhaust effluent will be used to determine the dilution factor. Per the ASTM
requirements, steady levels of CO2 will be observed over a sufficient period of time to allow for a representative average. The CO2 present in the native sample will be used as the tracer. There are two components that
make up the spike: 90% native and 10% spike. Both the native and spike are being added to the
gas cell and measured simultaneously. Since the CO2 concentration for most engines is very stable during testing, the reduction in its concentration when a spike is applied can provide very accurate prediction on the ratio of spike gas to engine emission.
Calibration gases will be spiked into the effluent stream using a bypass line at approximately
10% of the sampling rate. We will obtain the dilution factor through observations of the stack CO2 behavior using the following equation: CO2AVG – CO2SPIKE
DF = ------------------------
CO2 AVG Where: CO2AVG = The average undiluted CO2 stack gas concentration of pre and post spike measurements
CO2SPIKE = The average diluted CO2 stack gas concentration when spiked with NO2
gas
11
The sample recovery of the calibration gases will then be obtained from the following equation:
% REC = (Spike MEAS – Stack MEAS)* (1 – DF)
---------------------------------------------------------
CS * DF
Where: Spike MEAS = The average diluted stack gas concentration when spiked
Stack MEAS = The average undiluted stack gas concentration
DF = Dilution factor
CS = Certified concentration of calibration standards
The Sample Recovery average will be calculated to determine compliancy with the QA standard of 70% to 130%. A summary of all spiking procedures/results will be provided in the test report.
3.7 Engine Operating Parameters
Engine operating parameters, where applicable, will be recorded for each test which may
include: engine RPM, manifold pressure, manifold temperature, fuel flow, air flow, O2% and CO2%.
3.8 Engine Load Approximation
Oasis Emission Consultants Inc. will approximate the engine load using the measured process
parameters, such as gas throughput, suction/discharge pressure/temperature; by correlating the intake manifold conditions with the engine manufacture heat balance data; by correlating the measured engine speed with the manufacturer’s performance curve; the engine load; or, the readings obtained from the panel.
The Waukesha F3514GSI engine has a rating of 740 hp. It is expected that the performance test will be conducted within ±10% of 100% peak, or the highest achievable load.
3.9 Test Methods
Oasis Emission Consultants, Inc. will employ ASTM D 6348-03 for NOx, CO, VOC and H2O concentration measurement. All test methods that we intend to utilize are listed 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. An O2 stratification check will be performed according to 8.1.2 of Method 7E prior to testing to determine sampling location for engines with stack diameters greater than 6 inches, but less than 12 inches. For stacks equal to or greater than 12 inches in diameter, if the sampling port locations meet the minimum Method 1 criterion for distance from disturbances, sampling may be conducted at three points. If sampling ports do not meet Method 1
criterion for distance from disturbances, stacks equal to or greater than 12 inches in diameter will have an O2 stratification check performed to determine sampling locations. An O2 stratification is not required for engines with a stack diameter less than 4 inches.
12
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, to approximate the average dry volumetric flow rate.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 3: Method 3 provides the means to calculate the dry molecular weight of the effluent gas. After passing through a gas condenser, O2 and CO2 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.
ASTM D 6348-03: NOx, CO, VOC and H2O concentrations are obtained by running the engine exhaust through a heated sample line (191 deg C) to an MKS 2030 FTIR analyzer.
When a gas sample is introduced in the gas cell, the infrared beam is partially absorbed by
the gas species present. The spectral frequencies absorbed and their intensity are due to the atoms associated with the chemical bond and the strength of that bond. The absorption spectrum is unique for each infrared-active gas. The MKS FTIR analyzer measures the absorption spectrum, and its analysis algorithm measures the concentration of each gas
using pre-loaded calibrations. The MG2000 software allows for the continuous
measurement, display and recording of the sample stream.
