In 1997, the USEPA promulgated new ambient air standards for particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5). Source emissions data are needed to assess the contribution of petroleum industry combustion sources to ambient PM2.5 concentrations. This report presents particulate measurement results from a 550,000 pounds per hour steam boiler firing refinery process gas. The particulate stack measurements were made using both a dilution tunnel research test method and traditional EPA sampling methods. See more
