1 .O INTRODUCTION

On November 26, 199

particulate emission te

, Air Consulting and Engineering, Inc. (ACE), conducted

:ing on the Wet Scrubber Outlet of Boiler 4 at Sugar

Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida (Sugar Cane Growers) located in Belle

Glade, Florida.

Testing was performed to demonstrate compliance with the current Florida

Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) operating permit.

United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 5 was utilized for

the emission testing.

Mr. Ken Tucker of the FDER observed a portion of the testing.

Mr. Blas Marin of Sugar Cane Growers coordinated testing and provided

production data.

1

2.0 SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Boiler Number 4 demonstrated compliance with the permit conditions.

Table 1 is a summary of the emission results and flue gas parameters.

Particulate emissions averaged 55.45 pounds per hour (IbslHr) and 0.134 pounds

per million BTU (IbslMMBTU) which is within the allowable emissions of 82.07

IbslHr and 0.199 IbslMMBTU.

Complete emission summaries, field data sheets and laboratory data are

presented in Appendices A, 8, and C, respectively.

Production rate summaries are provided in Appendix D. This data was obtained

from control room recordings of steam flow, temperature, and pressure as

well as feed water temperature and pressure. Residue integrator and oil meter

readings were recorded at the beginning and end of each particulate run.

3.0 PROCESS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The Number 4 Boiler at Sugar Cane Growers is a spreader stoker design used

primarily for residue fuel firing. Supplemental oil firing was also utilized

for the emission test. The boiler averaged 243,718 Ibs/Hr steam production

over the three run test period.

Oil meters, steam integrators, and other production monitoring devices were

rigorously calibrated prior to the production season.

STANDARD METER CALIBRATION Heter Xumber 1040616

Air Consulting and Enyineering. Inc. (ACE1 uses a dry %as meter fur the calibration standard. This meter has been calibrated against a wet test meter in triplicate. This data was used to Zenerate a standard meter calibration curve (see next page). Field meter calibrations are corrected to this curve using the following formula:

I

Ya x Ys = Y

Y = actuai ratio of field.meter to standard.meter

Ys = ratio of standard meter to wet test meter at a given

Y = corrected ratio of field meter

a

flow rate (from Calibration Curve)

The dry standard meter was calibrated on June 11. 1991. and is checked and/or recalibrated at least annually.
