Kolnsberg, H. DEVELOPMENT OF MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES FOR FUGITIVE EMISSIONS FROM PROCESS AND EFFLUENT STREAMS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/7-79/116 (NTIS PB298848), 1979.
Description:
The report summarizes work completed in this continuing program of evaluation, development, testing, and adaptation of existing and proposed measurement techniques for air and waterborne industrial process fugitive emissions. Results of five major research and development tasks are presented: (1) a measurement and modeling program for waterborne emissions from coal-fired utility boilers; (2) a study of the applicability of remote sensing methods to the measurement of airborne fugitive emissions; (3) a survey and measurement program to assess the environmental problems caused by runoff from integrated iron and steel mills; (4) the design and development of a fugitive assessment sampling train for particulate and organic vapor emissions; and (5) an evaluation of techniques for the determination of large hood captive efficiencies. Summaries of service area tasks related to fugitive emissions measurements include: methodology developments for emissions measurement programs at coke quenching towers, coal cleaning plants, iron ore loading operations, and an open hearth shop's roof monitors; and reviews of proposed sampling programs and methods for fugitive emissions from mining operations, petroleum refineries, and coal cleaning operations. Abstracts of three papers on fugitive emissions topics presented at EPA symposia are included.
