Formula 2E-1*(1E-1*S-3E-2)
Notes Factor is for pulverized coal-fired boilers with all PM controls (without flue gas desulfurization controls). Factors should be multiplied by fuel rate on a heat input basis (MMBtu), as fired. To convert to lb/ton os subbituminous coal, multiply by 20 MMBtu/ton. To convert to lb/ton of bituminous coal, multiply by 26 MMBtu/ton. S= coal sulfur percent by weight as fired. For example, if the sulfur percent is 1.04, then S=1.04. If the coal sulfur percent is 0.4 or less, use a default emission factor of 0.01 lb/MMBtu rather than the emission equation.
