Formula
Notes No data were available for condensable PM emissions. The presented emission factor reflects emissions from 4SLB engines. Emission factors were calculated in units of (lb/MMBtu) based on procedures in EPA Method 19. To convert from (lb/MMBtu) to (lb/106 scf), multiply by the heat content of the fuel. If the heat content is not available, use 1020 Btu/scf. To convert from (lb/MMBtu) to (lb/hp-hr) use the following equation: lb/hp-hr = (lb/MMBtu)(heat input, MMBtu/hr)(1/operating HP, 1/hp).
