API PUBL 4713, 2002 Edition, March 2002 - Test Report: Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit at a Refinery (Site A); Characterization of Fine Particulate Emission Factors and Specification Profiles from Stationary Petroleum Industry Combustion Sources

OBJECTIVES: The specific objectives of this test were to:

Primary objectives

• Compare PM2.5 mass measured using an in-stack filter and iced impinge train (EPA Method 201A/202) and PM2.5 mass measured using a dilution tunnel;

• Develop emission factors and speciation profiles for organic aerosols and PM2.5 mass;

• Characterize sulfate (SO4=), nitrate (NO3-), ammonium (NH4+), chloride (Cl-) elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) in particulate matter collected on filter media after stack gas dilution;

• Characterize semivolatile organic compounds (SVOC) in stack gas samples after dilution;

• Characterize key gaseous secondary particle precursors in stack gas samples: volatile organic compounds (VOC) with carbon number of 7 and above; sulfur dioxide (SO2); sulfur trioxide (SO3); ammonia (NH3); and oxides of nitrogen (NOX);

• Document the relevant process design characteristics and operating conditions during the test.

Secondary Objectives

• Characterize ions (SO4=, NO3-, NH4+ and Cl-), OC, and EC in particulate collected on filter media in stack gas sampling trains;

• Characterize the size distribution of solid and condensible particles at stack conditions.
