Test methods and procedures.

§ 60.154 Test methods and procedures.

(a) In conducting the performance tests required in § 60.8, the owner or operator shall use as reference methods and procedures the test methods in appendix A of this part or other methods and procedures as specified in this section, except as provided for in § 60.8(b).

(b) The owner or operator shall determine compliance with the particulate matter emission standards in § 60.152 as follows:

(1) The emission rate (E) of particulate matter for each run shall be computed using the following equation:

Where:

E = Emission rate of particulate matter, g/kg (lb/ton) of dry sludge input. cs = Concentration of particulate matter, g/dscm (gr/dscf). Qsd = Volumetric flow rate of effluent gas, dscm/hr (dscf/hr). S = Charging rate of dry sludge during the run, kg/hr (ton/hr). K = Conversion factor, 1.0 g/g (7,000 gr/lb).

(2) Method 5 shall be used to determine the particulate matter concentration (cs) and the volumetric flow rate (Qsd) of the effluent gas. The sampling time and sample volume for each run shall be at least 60 minutes and 0.90 dscm (31.8 dscf).
