Description:
The report is a compendium of detailed test sampling and analysis data obtained in field tests of a watertube industrial boiler burning a coal/water slurry (CWS). Test data included in the report include preliminary stack test data, boiler operating data, and complete flue gas emission results. Flue gas emission measurements included continuous monitoring for criteria pollutants; onsite gas chromatography (GC) for volatile hydrocarbons (Cl-C6); Methods 5/8 sampling for particulate, SO2, and SO3 emissions; source assessment sampling system (SASS) for total organics in two boiling point ranges (100 to 300 C and > 300 C), organic compound category information using infrared spectrometry (IR), liquid column (LC) chromatography separation, and low resolution mass spectrometry (LRMS), specific quantitation of the semivolatile organic priority pollutants using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and trace element emissions using spark source mass spectrometry (SSMS) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS); N2O emissions by gas chromatography electron capture detector (GC/ECD); and biological assay testing of SASS and ash stream samples.
