and the P e r l i t e Ore Expansion process mult ic lone system allowed t h e

Dear Mr. Breese:
Please f ind the enclosed source test plan to cover the r e - a c t i n t i o n of #3 and #4 gypsum k e t t l e s which were shut down =der your direc- t ion on May 31, 1976 because of the lack of emission control devices.

A set of pr in t s for the in s t a l l a t ion is enclosed for your reviev.
The Source Test Plan included v i t h t h i s report follows the outline you submitted to us wlth your l e t t e r dated 3-4-77.
It i s noted that i n the period during which we are mobilized v i t h equipuent and technical help t o do source sampling we intend to retest the clean air effluent from t h e e m d e d p e r l i t e col lector .

3. Sanipling Equipment:
A. - A description o f the emission sampling equipment including a schematfc diagram of the sampling t r a i n .
Is0 Klnetic s tack sampling tes t will be performed by Mr. Oessain and Mr. Heiss on #3 Kett le , 114 Kettle and on t he perlite expander. The Research Appliance Corporation sampler will be employed - the schematic diagram o f the sampling t r a i n for t h i s device is shown on p. 581, Chapter 1 - E.P.A., app. A. attached f o r your review.

A. 'Types of pollutants t o be sampi"ed:
Par t icu la te emissions w i l l ' b e measured and the PMR (Pollution .Mass Rate in lbs . /h r . ) and the C (Concentration i n grains/SCF)
. . . . will be determined. Stack moisture will also be determined.
B. A description of the sampling analysis procedures:
A preliminary survey of each stack wfll be made i n order t o determine cross-sectional a rea , gas veloci ty , temperature, e tc . so t h a t the R.A.C. can be f i t t e d w i t h the proper nozzle before i t i s transported t o the sampling s i t e . The stack will be traversed i n the manner s e t o u t i n Chapter 1 - E.P .A . and f i e l d notes and calculat ions will be submitted t o your o f f i ce on the same forms as the da ta and report of 1-28-76, report $23074, f i l e no. 1-0015.

Ground raw gypsum is fed in to the Kettle which i s heated by fuel o i l . shel l and t h r o u g h heat exchanger f lues t h a t pass through the agi.tated ground gypsum. The combustlon gases pass in t c t he m a i n stack. As combined moisture i s removed from the gypsum, i t passes through the steam stack in to the d u s t co l lec tor which returns the

Approximately 20 tons of raw ground gypsum a r e charged intc the Kettle. When the batch i s completed approx. 16 tons of calcined gypsum i s produced t h a t will be used i n making p las te r products. If the batch Kettle is used t o produce calcined gypsun for wall board products a small smoun: (10 t o 20 lbs . ) of dry calcium chlor- ide i s added t o speed up the removal of corbined moisture.

Type of feed stock or fuel t h a t causes the g r e a t i s t inl ividual emissions and the percent of annual production for whfch these materials are used.
Ground gypsum is the primary source of par t icu la te emissions and moisture and accounts for 90% o f the t o m i znnual prcduction. Combusticn prcducts are a lso released OUT concentrations are low due t o the la rae d i lu t ion ~y secondary a i r . corbustion smoke i s produced. The major v i s ib le emission from the Kettle stacks is moisture (steam) which is v i s ib l e during cold weether.
