SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION I

I.

I

This site visit was conducted at the Cargill West plant Tn \

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on June 20, 1979. The purpose of this vikit

was to collect meal samples (to be analyzed for hexane content),

monitor process conditions, and check selected sites for visible

emissions. Personnel from PEDCo Environmental, Inc. conducted

the meal sampling and analysis and the opacity readings, while

personnel from Research Triangle Institute monitored the processing

parameters. I

Meal samples were taken in triplicate at each of the sampling

sites to provide a data base to evaluate the accuracy and re?roduc-

ibility of the sampling and analytical technique.

were taken after each of the following process steps:

SECTION 2

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

2.1 MEAL SAMPLING

The laboratory data sheet listing a l l of the concentrations

for each of the triplicate samples is in Section 3.0 of the

appendix of this report. Sample log sheet is in Section 1.0 of

the Appendix. The data indicates a considerable problem with

sample stability. For example, triplicate samples taken at the

flash DT at 11:04 show a wide variance in hexane concentration.

The second sample which was analyzed on June 2 9 , 1979, has a

concentration of 5,300 pq/q of wet meal. The samples analyzed on

July 19 and July 2 3 show concentrations of 3100 ug/g and 2 9 0 0 ug/g

respectively. Similar discrepancies appear whenever triplicate

samples were analyzed on different dates. Because of this

problem, the highest measured concentration may be the most

representative of the real value. Table 1 lists the highest

measured concentration for each site on a wet and dry meal basis

and the date of the analysis.

I

Meal sampling was done between 1O:OO A.M. and 4:OO P.M. The

sample log indicates no problems were encountered and no devia-

tions were made in the sampling procedure.

SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

3.1 MEAL SAMPLES

The meal sampling and analytical technique was adopted from

a volitilization head-space sampling procedure developed at Texas

AhM University.’

bottles with septum caps, tare weighed in the lab with two layers

of filter paper in the bottom of each. In the field just prior

to sampling, 0.5 mP. of water was added to wet the filter paper,

using an automatic pipette. A long handled scoop was used to

take a sample from the conveyor belt. A small portion of this

scoop was then transferred to each of the triplicate samples

using a small spoon and a funnel. Septum caps were replaced

immediately on the samples. An aluminum cap was then crimped

tightly over the septum for a final seal. Each bottle was then

weighed to determine the amount of sample collected. Meal samples

were stored in a cooler with ice for shipment back to the PEDCo

laboratory and stored in a refrigerator until analysis. Ideally

a 2.0 gram sample should be taken each time.

had to be done quickly to prevent evaporation losses, and the

actual sample weight varied from 1.34 g to 3.11 g.

Sample bottles used were 100 mll glass serum

However, sampling

Page 13: Vegetable Oil Production (Meal Processing) Emission Test ... · Reference Number: 12 Title: Vegetable Oil Production (Meal Processing) Emission Test Report, Cargill Incorporated (West

Analysis was done by placing the sample bottle into a sand-

bath for two hours at 125OC and then gradually cooling the sample

to room temperature. A 1.0 mL head space sample is then injected

into a gas chromatograph. Calibration standards are made by

adding a known amount of 99 mole percent n-hexane to processed

meal that has been completely dried. To determine the dry weight

of the meal sampled after analysis, the samples were placed in a

drying oven uncapped and reweighed after the moisture and hexane

had been driven off.

3 . 2 OPACITY READINGS

Opacity was read by a qualified observer using the procedures

of Federal Register* Method 9. Readings were taken every 15

seconds over a 12 minute period at each site.

SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION

This site visit was conducted at the Cargill West plant in

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on June 20 , 1979. The purpose of this visit

was to collect meal samples (to be analyzed f o r hexane content),

monitor process conditions, and check selected sites for visible

emissions. Personnel from PEDCo Environmental, Inc. conducted

the meal sampling and analysis and the opacity readings, while

personnel from Research Triangle Institute monitored the processing

parameters.

Meal samples were taken in triplicate at each of the sampling

sites to provide a data base to evaluate the accuracy and reproduc-

ibility of the sampling and analytical technique. Meal samples

were taken after each of the following process steps:

1. Desolventizer toaster (DT)

2 . Meal cooler

3 . Flour mill

4 . Flash desolventizer toaster

5 . Meal grinding

6. Flash tank after the Schneckens.

Opacity was read at eight different sites in the plant.

SECTION 2

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

2.1 MEAL SAMPLING

The laboratory data sheet listing all of the concentrations

for each of the triplicate samples is in Section 3.0 of the

appendix of this report. Sample log sheet is in Section 1.0 of

the Appendix. The data indicates a considerable problem with

sample stability. For example, triplicate samples taken at the

flash DT at 11:04 show a wide variance in hexane concentration.

The second sample which was analyzed on June 29, 1979, has a

concentration of 5,300 pg/g of wet meal. The samples analyzed on

July 19 and July 23 show concentrations of 3100 ug/g and 2900 pq/g

respectively. Similar discrepancies appear whenever triplicate

samples were analyzed on different dates. Because of this

problem, the highest measured concentration may be the most

representative of the real value. Table 1 lists the highest

measured concentration for each site on a wet and dry meal basis

and the date of the analysis.

Meal sampling was done between 1O:OO A.M. and 4 : O O P.M. The

sample log indicates no problems were encountered and no devia-

tions were made in the sampling procedure.

SECTION 3

SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

3.1 MEAL SAMPLES

The meal sampling and analytical technique was adopted from

a volitilization head-space sampling procedure developed at Texas I A&M University. Sample bottles used were 100 mll glass serum

bottles with septum caps, tare weighed in the lab with two layers

of filter paper in the bottom of each. In the field just prior

to sampling, 0.5 mll of water was added to wet the filter paper,

using an automatic pipette. A long handled scoop was used to

take a sample from the conveyor belt. A small portion of this

scoop was then transferred to each of the triplicate samples

using a small spoon and a funnel. Septum caps were replaced

immediately on the samples. An aluminum cap was then crimped

tightly over the septum for a final seal. Each bottle was then

weighed to determine the amount of sample collected. Meal samples

were stored in a cooler with ice for shipment back to the PEDCo

laboratory and stored in a refrigerator until analysis. Ideally

a 2 . 0 gram sample should be taken each time. However, sampling

had to be done quickly to prevent evaporation losses, and the

actual sample weight varied from 1.34 g to 3.11 g.

Analysis was done by placing the sample bottle into a sand-

bath for two hours at 125OC and then gradually cooling the sample

to room temperature. A 1.0 ml? head space sample is then injected

into a gas chromatograph. Calibration standards are made by

adding a known amount of 99 mole percent n-hexane to processed

meal that has been completely dried. To determine the dry weight

of the meal sampled after analysis, the samples were placed in a

drying oven uncapped and reweighed after the moisture and hexane

had been driven off.

3 . 2 OPACITY READINGS

Opacity was read by a qualified observer using the procedures

of Federal Register* Method 9. Readings were taken every 15

seconds over a 12 minute period at each site.
