Notes | Units are lb of pollutant/ton of wood waste burned. Emission factors are based on wet, as-fired wood waste with average properties of 50 weight% moisture and 4500 Btu/lb higher heating value. NOx formation is primarily a function of wood nitrogen content. NOx emissions ranged from 0.66-3.6 lb of NOx/ton of wood waste burned. |
